Electron microscopy and X-ray diffraction were used to test acoustical tiles from the Frieze building. Results from the X-ray diffraction tests indicated that asbestos is not present in the tiles, according to Donald Peacor, professor of gbological scien- ces. The Daily sent a third sample to the State Department of Public Health for conclusive results, which are expec- ted next week. Lawrence Allard, an electron microscopist who tested the Daily's samples at the University, said 'the samples contain calcium, aluminum, silicon, sulfur, iron, manganese, and perhaps an undetectable trace of asbestos. "I CAN ALMOST definitely guaran- tee you that there's no asbestos in it, but it's as fibrous as hell," Allard said. "I would think that small particles of any sort that you breathe in are not good for you," he said. University health officials said they were concerned that renovations began before the buildings were 'tested, stating that older buildings such as the Union and Frieze are always especially suspected to have asbestos present in THE DAILY CLASSIFIEDS ARE A GREAT WAY TO GET FAST RESULTS CALL 764-0557 .. absolutely sparkling and intense - The New York Times F ' r.

"That old stuff should have been looked at," said Dr. John Weg, Chief of Pulmonary Medicine at the University Hospital.. "In fact, I questioned the same procedure at the University Hospital some years ago, and found out it had already been evaluated," he said. DONALD BROWN, director of hospital and environmental health at University Hospital, said that "anytime one deals with a fibrous material, one should be very, very careful because of the (possible) consequences. "The lesson to be learned from this," accor- ding to Brown, "is that one should be sure before proceeding." Responsibility for the situation should be shared by the University and the contractor, he said. "It has to be a group effort, to be sensitive to this sort of thing," he added. Bailus Walker, the state director of public health, said that although asbestos may not be found in the materials from the two buildings, they may present a health hazard. "Any time you are dealing with these kinds of dust operations, it is necessary to prevent worker exposure," Walker said. Workers should have been provided with respirators and proper ventilation, he explained. University officials who requested anonymity said construction workers on the Frieze project are University personnel, while the Union renovators are contracted to the Schiller Construc- tion Company, a private firm. AFTER THE possibility of a health hazard surfaced, the University began imnmediate testing of acoustical tiles and pipe insulation, according to William Joy, theUniversity's director of environmental health and safety. New safety precautions have also been taken in the Frieze Building and the Union, Joy said. Duct work in the Frieze Building has been sealed off, and a new policy of submitting building materials to Environmental Health and Safety before further remodeling in either project has been adopted, he said. "WE WELCOME the state health department's participation," Joy said yesterday. "We've referred many- problems to them, and they've assisted us in the past." Joy would not commend on why his department did not test the materials for harmful substances prior to con- struction. IN BRIEF Compiled from Associated Press and United Press International reports Prosecution rests in Atlanta ATLANTA- Before his arrest, Wayne Williams said he would confess if authorities investigating the slayings of 28 young blacks had enough eviden- ce against him, a witness testified yesterday as the prosecution rested its case. Sharon Blakely was the 114th and final witness called in five weeks by the prosecution to back charges that Williams killed two of the 28 young blacks. The judge refused a defense request for a directed verdict of acquittal, and Williams' lawyers were expected to begin their case today. Mrs. Blakely's testimony came shortly after an ambulance driver said Williams had once startled him by asking, "had I ever considered how many blacks could be eliminated by doing away with one black male child." Castro's sister takes oath of U.S. citizenship MIAMI- Juanita Castro, younger sister of Cuban President Fidel Castro, became a U.S. citizen yesterday ut said her "heart will always remain in Cuba." A fervent anti-communist who denounced her brother as a "traitor" to the Cuban people, Ms. Castro took the oath of allegiance at the Dade County Auditorium along with 414 others, "I have a lot of pride inside of me right now-I am so happy," said Ms. Castro, flushed with excitement and clutching her Certificate of Naturalization. JFK taped conversations BOSTON- The disclosure that President John Kennedy secretly taped hundreds of White House conversations drew both shock and shrugs yester- day, and Sen. Edward Kennedy said his family wants transcripts of the tapes "released ... as soon as possible." Dan Fenn Jr., director of the JFK Library, said transcripts will not be released until summer, and he estimated that two-thirds of the material will never be made public for reasons of national security. Argentina said to intervene in Central American affairs WASHINGTON- Argentina's military government has undertaken a "paramilitary" role in Central America, intending to destabilize Nicaragua's leftist government and cut off supplies to rebels in El Salvador, congressional sources said yesterday. One source said Argentina's role has been in "coordination" with the United States, but he said it was unclear how much encouragement and sup- port the Reagan administration has provided, if any. This week, the State Department also stepped up its verbal attack against Nicaragua, denouncing it as "a base for the export of subversion and armed intervention throughout Central America." 25 Salvadoran leftists killed in attack on town SAN SALVADOR, El Salvador- Leftist guerrillas, pressing a burgeoning campaign to disrupt Salvadoran elections, suffered at least 25 casualties yesterday in an attack on a town that had just been reinforced by soldiers, witnesses said. Army officers said several towns in northeastern El Salvador were in danger of falling into guerrilla hands because of a shortage of helicopters following a destructive guerrilla attack on El Salvador's main air force base. The roads in the mountanous province of Morazan are controlled or mined by guerrillas and the army has only two helicopters, to rsupply garrisons and evacuate wounded from the area, the officers told reporters. President Reagan Monday ordered $55 million in emergency military aid to El Salvador, about half of it to replace eight UJH-1h "Huey" helicopters and 10 warplanes destroyed Jan. 27 in a rebel raid on the Ilopango Air Force, base.
