The last major witness, Dr. William Stewart, U.S. surgeon general, testified that new reg. ulations for Dugway tests, if followed by the Army, would prevent hazardous doses of VX cr other lethal chemicals from reaching populated areas. The regulations were proposed by an ad hoc committee after more than 4,300 sheep were killed and another 2,028 were ordered destroyed in a nerve gas accident in Skull Valley in March 1968. testimony that the sheep died partly because they were to organic hypersensitive1 phosphate poisoning. Human blood tests in the area did not indicate any nerve agent poisoning, the Army said. Rep. Buy Vander Jagt, who was highly critical of the Army for tailing to tell local authorities that VX had been tested until almost 10 days after the accident, said after the morning session that he did not believe populated areas had been in danger. The Army made a deliberate attempt, he said, to conceal its test last year which preceded the death of the Skull Valiey sheep. He said lie could draw no other conclusion from the pattern of deception on the part of Dugway information officers. Other points made Wednesday included: testimony that the Dupont Co. had sold the Army less than 100 pounds of a red dye used as a tracer in VX compounds in the last 25 if her INCLUDES NEW LACES AND HEEL PADS test had years. this charges week attempted to show that a Dupont scientist on the ad hoc committee that studied the 1968 accident had a conflict of because cf interest two-acr- m i Q3 Thursday, May 22, T969 human habitation is 20 miles away. The area was fenced, marked and monitored to insure that all except scientific personnel would avoid it. To provide added safety and security, the fence is at least 300 yards beyond the actual test site. It is inacessable (roller except by special tired) Army vehicles. The test site is still being routinely monitored. Army witnesses also said the effects of nerve gas on human subjects had been tested in very low does" on Army volunteers.

Thpre was no possibility of air contamination then, nor is there now, he claimed. The purpose of this controlled experiment was to determine how long the organism will remain infectious. The area, which is well v'ithin the confines of the proving ground, was selected because the wild mammal population is less than one per square mile; the closest Army placed ten-mil- J,ythT NOT IN PERIL Stewart told the panel that a load of nerve agent, dropped over would be Dugway, down to a few molecules, well below a hazardous dose by the time it reached U.S. 40 under the new test regulations. The rules would forbid testing when winds blow tov rd Salt Lake City or above 15 miles an hour velociwithin ty, or when storms 100 miles of the site. The surgeon general was asked if outdoor testing is necessary, and he told the panel that it appears to be useful chiefly to check delivery systems. He added, under that it seems questioning, Dupont sales of nerve gas components. Brig. Gen. William W. Stone of the Army Materiel Command, said the current years chemical warfare budget was $330 million, including 590 million for research, development, test and evaluation In response to a query by Rep. Sherman P. Lloyd, e the Army said a diameter area at Dugway marked permanently biologically contaminated" was actually a buffer zone around a e tract used for testing the longevity of a germ agent.
