EPA ranks waste sites

WASHINGTON (AP) - The gover-
nment' ranked 114 hazardous waste
sites as the worst in the country yester-
day in the first stage of a $1.6 billion
assault against poisonous chemicals
that threaten the public health and en;
vironment.
The list, prepared by the Environ-
mental Protection Agency, will be used
to disburse federal money under the
Superfund program established by
Congrss last year to clean up dangerous
waste dumps.
THIRTY-NINE states placed sites
on the list, which was compiled from a
group of 282 sites nominated last sum-
mer by the states and EPA regional of-
fices.
.The dumps were rated for their
potential danger to public health-
primarily to drinking water supplies.
Also taken into consideration were
threats to the environment.
The sites were ranked in groups of 10
in descending order of the perceived
hazards. The country's best known
chemical dump, the Love Canal in New

Federal funds to, clean
chemical dump areas

York, was in the third group of 10.
OFFICIALS SAID 20 sites were listed
higher than Love Canal, where hun-
dreds of families were forced to leave
their homes, because they presented
greater potential threats to larger
populations.
Typical of those threats was an 81-
year-old industrial complex in Tacoma,
Wash., where the EPA said part of the
city's underground drinking water sup-
ply had been contaminated by leaking
chemicals. The Tacoma dump complex
was listed among the worst 10 dumps.
New Jersey and Massachusetts
placed two dumps each in the worst 10
list. New Hampshire, Pennsylvania,
New York, Oklahoma, and

Delaware hadone each among the wor-
st 10.
THE RANKING presented a dismal
inventory of rusting barrels of poisons
left abandoned and inadequate safety
measures being used at dumps that are
still operating.
The problems cited ranged from
30,000 gallons of polychlorinated
biphenyls spilled along roadsidesin 14
North Carolina counties to 17,000
rusting drums of toxic wastes at the
Valley of the Drums site in Brooks, Ky.
The state with the most dangerous
dumps among the 114 was Florida with
16. Officials said the state's high
groundwater table and large population
areas led to increased threats. Florida

cities listed with problem dumps in-
cluded Miami, Fort Lauderdale and
Tampa.
INDUSTRIAL New Jersey was next
with 12 sites, followed by New York and
Pennsylvania with eight each.
EPA officials estimated the Super-
fund will cover cleanup costs at 170
sites, at a projected cost of $5.5 million
each. The Superfund law requires 400
sites to be listed as candidates for
cleanup. EPA ',officials said they
hoped to help clean up the 230 sites that
won't get federal money by pressuring
owners.
The list of 400 sites will be published
in the spring, officials said. All 39.
states which submitted candidates for
the priority list released Friday placed
at least one dump on the list.
Officials said the 11 states that did not
make application to be on the initial list
will be considered for the second.
States with no dumps on the list re
Alaska, Hawaii, Idaho, Louisiana, Mon-
tana, Nebraska, Nevada, Vermont,
Oregon, Wisconsin and Wyoming.

Federal 'Sit to aid

IN BRIEF
Complied from Associated Press and
United Press international reports
Consumer Price Index hits
14.8 percent last month
WASHINGTON- Inflation surged in September, pushing the Consumer
Price Index to a 14.8 percent annual rate despite tight money policy and a
weak economy, the government reported yesterday.
Housing costs, college tuition, used cars and medical care led the index
upward.
The Labor Department said its 14.8 percent annual rate was compounded
from a monthly 1.2 percent increase for September, compared to August's
0.8 percent rise. July's 1.2 percent increase ended a four-month string of
considerably lower readings.
All figures were seasonally adjusted.
Union sues state to keep
Taylor schools open
DETROIT- The Michigan Federation of Teachers filed a lawsuit yester-
day aimed at forcing the state of Michigan to come up with the money to
keep the Taylor school district from closing as planfied next month.
MFT President Hugh Jarvis said the state has the constitutional obligation
to provide public education,reven in districts like Taylor where voters have
refused to approve their share of the tax burden.
Taylor voters this week rejected for the fourth time a millage proposal to
wipe out a $16 million deficit. School officials said they would close the
system Nov. 13, idling 16,000 students in the state's 10th largest district.
The school board is expected to schedule another election, possibly on Dec.

Regan adminmsration aband
andator auto safety restraints
WASHINGTON- The Reagan 'administration abandoned yesterday a
requirement that carmakers install air bags or automatic seat belts, star-
ting with theirlarger 1983 models.
Raymond Peck, the Transportation Department's top auto-safety official,
said the rule was rescinded because the administration believes motorists
would circumvent automatic restraints as much as they do the presently
required manual seat belts.
The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety called the decision a
"tragedy" on grounds that it "condemns to utterly needless death tens of
thousands of Americans who will be in car crashes just in the coming
decade, and whose lives could be saved by crash protection."
Greek movie, song censorship
ends
ATHENS, Greece- Greece's new Socialist government endeddgover-
nment censorship of movies and songs yesterday and began drafting
legislation to recognize leftists groups that fought against the Nazis in World
War II. It also imposed price controls on raw materials.
The government of Premier Andreas Papandreou, whose Panhellenic
Socialist Movement swept into power in Sunday's general elections, began
im lementing the new measures on its second full working day.
The.decision to lift censorship is expected to lead to greater freedom, but it
will not mean unrestricted screening of pornographic films. Under Greek
law a public prosecutor may intervene when there are considerations of
public morality at stake.

LANSING (UPI)- Officials said Friday approval
of aid from the federal "Superfund" will enable them'
to defuse Michigan's most dangerous environmental
time bomb-the PBB-laden Gratiot County landfill.
"This is the No. 1 priority of the state and it needs to
be cleaned up," said William Rustem, Gov. William
Milliken's chief environmental aide.
THE GRATIOT County site, which contains about
80 tons of the toxic fire retardant, was one of 114 ap-
proved for' funding in a decision announced by the
Environmental Protection Agency.
The plan to entomb the landfill in clay is expected
to cost about $5.3 million, with work beginning as
soon as next summer. Details of state, local and
federal contributions to the project have yet to be
worked out.
The landfill was at thetop of a list of contamination

help improve the supply of food to
markets, facilitate transport of goods,
combat waste and mismanagement and
solve local disputes.
"An extraordinary situation requires
extraordinary measures," Urban said.
"Intensification of destructive excesses
is leading directly to the obliteration of
all the achievements of socialist
renewal." s
THE TERM RENEWAL is used by
both the, government and Solidarity to
describe the reforms gained during
past 14 months of strike and protests.
Urban suggested that the current round
of strikes was endangering the progress
toward democracy.
Urban reported that some members
of the government Presidium charged
during the meeting that Solidarity
members were seeking confrontation
and were not hiding a desire to stage a
coup.
The Solidarity leaders' meeting in.
Gdansk yesterday blamed Jaruzelski's
regime for food shortages, police
harassment and the "crisis in every
field," and said "the irresponsible
behavior of the authorities could lead to
a national catastrophe."
UNION SOURCES said Lech Walesa,
Solidarity's moderate leader, planned
to meet with Jaruzelski to discuss ways
of saving Poland from violent confron-
tation.
The party daily, Trybuna Ludu, said,
"People whom we used to call ex-
tremists have gone on to spectacular
and provocative activities. Poland in-
creasingly resembles a boiler, boiling
so hard that it is about to explode."'
It said people in food shops were so
angry over shortages they were
"behaving in a vulgar way, and there
were some cases of fighting and
beating."
LABOR UNREST, primarily over
food shortages and government
economic policies, gripped 36 of Poland's
49 provinces. Some 150,000 workers in
western Zielona Gora stayed off the job
for a second day, and 12,000 women
workers occupied textile plants in
Zyrardow for an 11th day.
Workers also struck steel mills,

'WHY DO THE HEATHEN RAGE?'
Psalm 2:1 and Acts 4:25
In the second Psalm of the Bible God asks the above question, and then
answers it. He tells who the heathen are, why they rage, and His reaction and
consequences of their rage.
Usually we think of the heathen as savages or uncivilized people, but here
God names them as kings, rulers, people who imagine a vain thing, and rage
and rebel against His Government, His King, Laws and Commandments.
Such folks certainly do not believe in the God of the Bible. Webster says a
heathen is "one who does not believe in the God of the Bible." Our govern-
ment and rulers have rejected God's Book and the Lord's prayer for our
schools.
Psalm 22:28 tells us "GOD IS THE GOVERNOR AMONG THE NATIONS."
Hear this governor's orders: "AND THOU SHALT TEACH THEM (God's law)
DILIGENTLY UNTO THY CHILDREN, AND SHALT TALK OF THEM WHEN
THOU SITTEST IN THINE HOUSE, AND WHEN THOU WALKEST BY THE
WAY, AND. WHEN THOU LIEST DOWN, AND WHEN THOU RISEST UP -
THAT IT MAY GO WELL WITH THEM, AND THY CHILDREN AFTER THEE."
Deut. 6:7 and 12:25.
Our forefathers put God's name, "the God of the Bible," on our coins: "In
God we trust." We are still willing to have God's name on our money, but it
appears we don't want God's name on our school children! You don't have to
go "to far away places" to find heathen! We are in great need of home
missionaries. Every true Christian Is a missionary.
"WHY DO THE HEATHEN RAGE?" Why? what is the cause? It is to get rid
of the Commandment of God, His. King, His Moral Law, His Ten
Commandments: "To break the bands, cast away the cords" of restraint the
