01 Page 2-Sunday, September 21, 1980-The Michigan Daily PENTA GON, S TRA TEGIC AIR COMMAND SILENT Nuclear warhead found in field (Continued from Page1 "At this particular point, it's unknown, but no one thinks so at this point.". According to Stobaugh, the tran- smissions said the warhead was catapulted 300 to 400 feet in the blast which left a debris-strewn crater 250 feet wide, but was recovered intact. LT. GEN.LLOYD Leavitt, SAC vice commander, told reporters at a news conference yesterday at Little Rock Air Force Base that the missile was reduced to bits and pieces. He flew to Arkansas yesterday mor- ning and "looked in the hole where for- merly the missile was." "We have about the worst case we could have in terms of a Titan ac- cident," he said, but said it was impor- tant that there were no civilian injuries. LEAVITT REFERRED to the in- cident as a "catastrophic failure of the Titan II." He also refused to discuss whether a warhead was on the missile; repeatedly turning the question aside. Leavitt said the Air Force does not know which of several possibilities caused the explosion, but said an in- vestigation board has been empaneled and has begun its probe. When questioned about the shattering of the 740-ton concrete and steel door, Leavitt said it was easier to destroy from the inside. The door had been publicized as being adequate to withstand all but a direct nuclear hit. FRIDAY'S EXPLOSION occurred after a three-pound socket from a wrench fell 70 feet and ruptured the aluminum alloy missile, allowing fuel to escape, Pentagon officials said. The blast took place nearly eight hours after the rupture. The explosion has touched off renewed congressional concern over the safety and usefulness of the Titan II, the largest weapon in the nation's nuclear arsenal. MEMBERS OF Congress are asking if the Titan missile system, built nearly two decades ago and intended primarily as a threat to Soviet cities, has become an outmoded dinosaur that also poses a threat to Americans. "IF IT'S NOT safe and effective, I don't know why you need it," said Sen. Robert Dole (R-Kan.), who represents one of the three states which have Titan missile sites. In addition to Arkansas and Kansas, Arizona shares the nation's 54 Titan silos. Air Force Sgt. David Livingston died in the explosion. A spokesman at Baptist Hospital, where Livingston died, said he was hit by debris and breathed a toxic substan- ce. "That was the fatal blow," he said. Sgt. Jeff Kennedy, the other main- tenance worker with Livingston, was reported in critical condition yester- day.

A solemn prayer service for Somoza, whose family ruled the Central American nation for decadeswas held before noon in a chapel at the Caballero Funeral Home in Miami's Little Havana section. The 54-year-old Somoza, whose father was assassinated in 1956, was killed Wednesday in Asuncion, Paraguay. The long-time U.S. ally had initially sought exile in Miami after his ouster by leftist guerrillas, but he departed after the Carter administration said it could not guarantee his safety. Moslem bloc will try to oust Israel from General Assembly FEZ, Morocco-Islamic countries decided yesterday to enlist the rest of the Third World in an attempt to bar Israel from the U.N. General Assembly, and called for expansion of the Arab boycott of Israel. Sources stressed that the Islamic countries would make no attempt to oust Israel from the United Nations, because such a step would be blocked by an American or British veto in the Security Council. The veto does not apply to the procedural rules of the General Assembly, and it was considered possible that the Islamic countries could drum up enough Third World support to bar Israel from the assembly by rejecting the Israeli delegation's credentials at the start of each session. India's largest dam overflows BHUBANESWAR, India-After six days of uninterrupted rain, flood waters overflowed India's largest dam, swamped power lines and towns, and plunged the state of Orissa and its 25 million residents into darkness yesterday. Local officials said 36 people were killed in the flooding, boosting the week's death toll to more than 260. The nationwide flood fatality toll since the start of the annual monsoons this summer has passed 1,750, according to unofficial reports, and the Flood Control Division forecast more torrential rain and windstorms lasting through tomorrow. The waters submerged high tension lines and knocked out electric power in the entire state. Officials appealed to adjoining states for power and said some electricity could be restored today. Cause of chemical blast unknown FITCHBURG, Mass.-About 2,000 people returned home yesterday while investigators puzzled over the cause of a chemical plant explosion on Friday, which sent a cloud of poisonous chloride gas into the air. Two plant workers were seriously hurt, and 16 people were treated for smoke inhalation in the blast, which damaged several mixing chambers and a smokestack at the Great American Chemical Corp. plant. Firemen continued to pour water on one of the mixing chambers yester- day to keep it cool until the remaining vinyl chloride and polyvinyl chloride gas could be removed, fire department officials said. The fire marshal, meanwhile, was expected to spend several days trying to pinpoint the cause of the blast. S. Korea continues 'purification' SEOUL, South Korea-South Korea's new leaders say they will continue their nationwide "purification" drive, in which thousands already have been arrested or fired, until-the country regains the sense of honesty and ethics they say it lost in pursuit of economic success. But until that happens, they say, there is no place in South Korea for democracy-as demanded by the United States and other foreign critics. The military, which took control of the country almost a year ago and. ruled until former Gen. Chun Doo-hwan was installed as president last mon- th, promises to play a backstage role in the purification campaign. But it will remain the most powerful force in South Korea and will make sure the cam- paign is pursued by civilian leaders, perhaps for a decade or longer. hIanIraq border fights intensify Iranian President Abolhassan Bani-Sadr ordered the immediate mobilization of Iran's armed forces and reservists yesterday for a war against Iraq. A military communique warned the fighting may spread to the Persian Gulf, where it could in- peril the flow of oil to the West. Tehran radio said BaniSadr had taken personal command of the Iranian armed forces battling Iraqi troops along the western frontier in what it said were "intense" land and air clashes. Meanwhile in Tehran, the Parliament announced it would meet again Tuesday and is expected to resume discussion of the fate of 52 American hostages, who spent their 322nd day in captivity yesterday.

You can score the debate yourself, using the same kind of scorecard used by the experts, then compare your results with theirs when they are repor- ted in tomorrow's newspapers. The judging panel, consisting of seven leading university debate coaches, is using a ballot similar to that used by the American Forensic Association for student competition. It awards one to five points in each of six categories: analysis, reasoning, evidence, organization, refutation, and presentation. JAMES UNGER, director of foren- sics at Georgetown University in Washington, D.C., and one of the nation's leading coaches of inter- collegiate debate, prepared the above ballot and the instructions for its use. Unger, whose teams have reached the final round of every major national debate tournament, is a graduate of Harvard Law School and will be one of the panelists. The other panelists serving on the debate for The Associated Press in- clude: Prof. Barbara O'Connor, Department of Speech, California State- Sacramento; Prof. James Copeland, Director of Forensics, Marquette University High School, Milwaukee, Wis.
