A congressional liaison to the Department of the Army told Rep. Carters office that the Armed Forces Research Institute put together a list of 100,000 individuals who participated in Nevada blasts in 1957 and Mr. Coes name was not among them. But the source in St. Louis was located and the "morning report" is en route to Rep. Carters office. Contacts Tribune Mr. Coes story developed when a physician at Vanderbilt University Hospital read about Mr. Cooper, knew of Mr. Coes case, and contacted The Tribune. The physician was referred to Radio-Biologic- al the Center for Disease Control m Atlanta and Dr. Glyn Caldwell, who is attempting to learn if a common experience of leukemia runs through the men at the test site that day. Mr. Cooper and Mr. Coe were not together. Mr. Cooper was with a provisional company, the 504th Airborne Infantry Regiment of the 82nd Airborne Division, Ft. Bragg, N.C. That group, of 163 men and seven officers, moved close to ground zero after the bomb in an detonation of the experiment to determine whether soldiers could press on with a maneuver, as reasonable men, in the wake of a devastating nuclear blast. The Army was gearing its war strategy for the era of nuclear weapons. Ground Zero Mr. Cooper says the group moved to as close as 200 yards from ground zero. Mr. Coe, with a group from Ft. Lewis, Wash., was one of the pentomic" battle group somewhat in 700-ma- n Clean Air Plan Disappointing, Sen. Garn Says By Frank Hewieit Tribune Washington Bureau Sen. Jake Gam said Friday he WASHINGTON is disappointed in the clean air bill reported this week by the Senate committee on the environment and public works. The Utah Republican said there were serious questions about nondeterioration of air which must be debated thoroughly before he will agree to the bill coming to a vote. Sen. Gam said he was not threatening a filibuster even though he regards the measure as not appreciably different from the one he and former Sen. Frank E. Moss, successfully filibustered to death at the end of the last Congress. What I would like to see is for the Senate to take at least two weeks to consider the legislation so that the people themselves can make an informed said Sen. judgment about necessary tradeoffs, Garn. Assesses Support for Debate I am now assessing the level of support in the Senate for a full debate. At the very least, I intend to insist that consideration of the bill be delayed until senators have had a chance to hear from environmental groups, industry groups, state and local officials and the people at large. My staff and I are working on several amendments which would do a great deal to alleviate the impact of the legislation on Utah specifically. If they were to be accepted the bill would be bearable though it would, in my opinion, still be far too expensive and an unwise piece of legislation. We will have to work to make it as good a bill as we can. That will take time and I hope the Senate leadership will allow us the time. Greater Impact on Our State Sen. Garn said that considering the extent of federal ownership in Utah and its number of national parks and monuments, the bill will have greater impact on our state than any other. We have high terrain problems which distort measurements of pollution. The results of these measurements would cost the state and the nation needed energy and mineral development. Some other adjustments must be made in the bill to accommodate these problems. Utahs senior senator said the bill offers unacceptable choices for the American people and .American industry Tall stacks, intermittent controls and clean coal are all ways to protect our health and environment Dy keeping air clean, he said. Yet ail of these are rejected by the bill in favor of very expensive scrubber systems which will have to be paid for by consumers and which consume huge amounts of scarce and expensive energy. the rear which was also conducting tactical maneuver at the time a Mr. Coe says he is not sure how many blasts he witnessed in the period he was at Yucca Flats, Nev., from Aug 16 to Sept. 6, 1957. He says it could have been from 12 to 20. He told The Louisville Courier-Journa- l that for a blast he and other soldiers were told to stretch out m the sand and bury their faces in their arms as the countdown for the blast began When the bomb went off, there was a heatwave come across us.

Lewis, and the Ft. Lewis newspaper for that period verifies the group was at the site, about 8,500 yards away from ground zero in trenches. Mr Cooper's group was 3, 0(H) yard away But, said Mr Cooper, they were moved out of their Irene hes prior to the de'onation because of a wind shift and stood unprotected on an open hillside when the blast occurred He said enly desert floor separated the Ft Bragg men from the b'ast, still 3.fMa) yards distant reported Friday K liuee fedmal icss ttirti. 25 agencies as generailv between and 40 per cent of normal," itpies ening trie dries: .ear or. retold foi many areas The only areas near or slightly above 50 per cent as of May 1 were Mr Coe said he seems to recall that there were soldiers from Canada and Mexico also at the site Mid, the Ft Lewis paper does mention a platoon at the she from the Queens Own Rifles, AltK rta, Canada hd Currently, Mr Coe is said to he very weak and anemic.
