ANDRE MALAN could . Within hours of the accident at the Three Mile Island nuclear power plant in Harrisburg, groups in New England, Washington, and elsewhere had demanded an immediate shutdown of all nuclear generating facilities in America. Headlines, for days, warned of the possibility of a hydrogen explosion conjuring up visions of a mushroom cloud after detonation of a hydrogen bomb. Instead, what the experts were suggesting was possible, but improbable, was a not an atomic explosion (as in bomb). gas explosion This is not to minimize the risks. The accident caused small doses of radiation to leak from the plant. A more conserious accident could have resulted in wider-sprea- d tamination. Fortunately, though, the amount of radiation that leaked from the plant, according to the usually alarmist HEW Secretary Joseph Califano, was far below the levels that we are exposed to from normal background radiation over the course of a year. One government official on the scene during the height of the crisis was quoted by The Washington Post as saying that the radiation leaking from the plant was below the levels at which protective clothing would be necessary. the first We must all be relieved, too. that this accident serious accident in more than 20 years at a major nuclehr resulted in not a single injury (though opponents of facility ' nuclear power are crying that long-terexposure to even very how levels of radiation can cause cancer). The timing of any accident, of course, is "unfortunate. I have never known an accident that was fortunately timed though accident victims sometimes are fortunate that emergency assistance is immediately at hand at the time of the accident. The timing of this accident was especially unfortunate, r fright-wig- s were in the however, because the midst of a nationwide publicity hype for Jane Fondas The China Syndrome. a Columbia Pictures propaganda (lick the it Ralph Nader has congratulated for its technical reality and balanced script.

The President is in such a hurry to have the treaty ratified, he has forgotten that the negotiating isnt finished. I do, however, see whv he is in such a hurry; he wants to have it all signed before old liwzhnev keels over and they have to do the whole thing over again!

The only way a treaty with the soviets can be successfull for us, is to have constant monitoring compliance. to verify their If the Russians wont agree with that provision, they will be ' for world-wid- e known for talks stalling the reasons of their own privacy (not a very good position to be in if youre trying to take over the world). '. This idea of monitoring the Soviets isnt new; it is written in the treaty. The arises when problem President Carter asks for immediate ratification so the treaty can be quickly told the senate that we already have enough monitoring stations to keep tabs on the Russians. To this, President Carter, I say bunk! If we have enough spy stations already, why do we constantly hear of growing Soviet Arsensal? Was this in .growth Russia in the SALT I treaty? WE have lost one spy station in Iran due to the revolution. That one surely isnt enough to adaquately monitor the soviets missile factories, but with what little we have, every one counts. Dealing With Russians At this point , dealing with the Russians is like putting money in an empty candy machine. You lose your money and the company keeps it and laughs, knowing there was nothing in it to begin with. The SALT II treaty should not be ratified until this major problem is cleared, TOTALLY. If total monitoring requires a U.S. station in the Soviet Union, we should go for it. If total monitoring requires an American in each Soviet We factory, lets do it.
