FBI INFORMER BOYD DOUGLAS collected a $200 reward
in the capture of Rev. Daniel Berrigan while acting as an in-
former against Rev. Philip Berrigan, testimony at the trial of
the Harrisburg seven disclosed yesterday.
Douglas expressed complete surprise at hearing that he was the
one who led to the capture of the Catholic militant. He admitted he
had received $200 but said, "I had no idea what it was for."
Douglas is the star government witness against Berrigan and
his six co-defendants, accused of plotting to kidnap Henry Kissinger,
to blow up heating tunnels in Washington, D.C., and to destroy draft
board records in nine states.

"The dam was not designed and constructed such that it would
be considered safe for the retention of large volumes of water," the
Department reported. The volume of water stored behind the dam
"seemed far in excess" of that needed to fulfill its role as a pollu-
tion filter.
The report further stated that "it must be emphasized that
other dams in other areas may be close to the point of failure, par-
ticularly in times of high runoff."

VICE PRESIDENT SPIRO AGNEW said yesterday that Ala-
bama Gov. George Wallace "must have struck a responsive chord
in more than one section" of the Florida electorate to emerge
victorious in Tuesday's primary.
"I haven't heard anything he's said in that campaign that I
would consider radical," Agnew told an audience of Drake University
students.
"When a man wins an election he shouldn't be referred to as a
demagogue," Agnew said. Muskie made that reference to Wallace in
nationally televised remarks.a
