4 Page 2 - The Michigan Daily - Wednesday, October 3, 1984 EPA lists more toxic waste sites IN BRIEF Compiled from Associated Press and United Press International reports 9-, WASHINGTON (AP) - The En- vironmental Protection Agency iden- tified 244 more toxic waste sites yester- day that pose substantial threat to human health, and a top official predic- ted the list was "going to grow fast" in coming years.- The EPA formally proposed adding the new sites to the national priority list under the $1.6 billion "superfund" toxic wastes cleanup program. THE SITES, "may rank among America's most hazardous and may pose long-term threats to human health and the environment," the agency said. With the additions, which are still subject to public comment and discussion, the list contains 786 sites that would qualify for cleanup money. The EPA said 12 more toxic con- tamination sites in Michigan are eligible for Superfund money or in- vestigations or cleanups. John Perrecone, a spokesman for EPA's Region 5 headquarters in Chicago, said in a telephone interview only New Jersey has more superfund sites. PERRECONE said about $29.2 million has been allocated for Michigan projects in the fiscal year which began Monday. Assistant EPA Administrator Lee Thomas said the list still was just a beginning. "We have said consistenly that -the national priority list was going to grow, and going to grow fast," Thomas told a news conference. "I think within two years that list is going to be up within about 1,400 to 2,000 sites." THE NEED for federal cleanup money will far outstrip the current $1:6 billion available, Thomas said. The EPA already has estimated that between $8 billion and $16 billion wil be needed to finish the job, he said, adding the administration will seek the needed money before current program lapses next Sept. 30. The list Thomas released was vir- tually identical to one provided last Friday by Rep. James Florio, (D-N.J.), a sponsor of a bill in Congress to expand the superfund to $10.2 billion over .five years. The administration opposes any aciton on superfund this year. At the time he released the list, Florio claimed the EPA was suppressing it to lessen pressure on Congress to act. Thomas denied there was any attem- pt to suppress the list, arguing the rigorous requirements of the EPA dic- tated double checks to assure that the sites qualified. He said the EPA action was divorced from any congressional debate.

Mondale said he presumes Donovan is innocent because that's the American system, but added that Reagan has a responsibility beyond merely accepting the secretary's offer to take an unpaid leave. "Reagan's first reaction was instin- ctive political defense," Mondale said of the president's response to Donovan's indictment by a New York grand jury yesterday. "That's not good enough." "He should not determine guilt, but determine whether there are sufficient grounds to determine whether the charges are true," Mondale said. "In that case (Donovan) ought to be removed." Donovan was indicted Monday in New York City on charges of grand lar- ceny and fraud in connection with a subway project in which his construc- tion company was a major contractor. He pleaded innocent to the charges yesterday. The University of Georgia's Master of Marketing Research Program is truly unique.

"I've enjoyed four-party support," replied Merola, who had Republican Party backing in three of his four runs for office. At the same time, however, Reagan was forced to respond to the indictment of Labor Secretary Raymond Donovan, and did so sharply, decrying the "lynch atmosphere" created by "the attacks and assaults . . . that were without foundation." WASHINGTON - The House voted 417-4 yesterday to guarantee Social Security recipients a cost-of-living raise Jan. 1 even if inflation is held below 3 percent.. The Senate already has approved the legislation, which was sought by Reagan in July when it looked as though the 3 percent trigger on which the current law bases a cost-of-living increase would not be met. However, the latest consumer index figures indicate that if current trends continue, there will be a cost-of-living increase ranging between 3.3 percent and 3.6 percent even without the legislation, according to the House Ways and Means Committee. There are technical differences between the House and Senate versions, so the measure will have to get final approval from the-. Senate before going to Reagan for his signature. Rep J.J. Pickle, (D-Texas), chairman of the Ways and Means subcommit- tee on Social Security, said in floor debate that the bill is "almost certainly" of no substantive benefit to the American public. Syria identifies kidnappers BEIRUT, Lebanon - Syria's secret service was reported yesterday to have identified and located the kidnappers of a U.S. diplomat, an American television journalist and a Saudi diplomat. A Beirut newspaper close to the Syrian government said efforts were un- der way to free the abducted men, and that Syrian President Hafez Assad was personally involved in the effort. The daily Al-Sharq said Syrian investivators have established the identity of the group holding U.S. Embassy political officer William Buckley; Jerry Levin, the Beirut bureau chief of Cable News Network; and Saudi Consul General Hussein Farrash. Al-Sharq did not give the name of the group. There was no official confirmation of the report in Syria or by the Lebanese government. The U.S. Embassy press officer in Beirut, John Stewart, said he had nothing to say about the report. In Washington, State Department deputy spokesman Alan Romberg said the United States has been engaged in efforts to secure the release of the Americans and has raised the subject with several governments. He had no further comment. Cosmonauts set record m space MOSCOW - Three Soviet cosmonauts returned safely to Earth yesterday and were hailed as heros for making history's longest manned space flight. Leonid Kizim, Vladimir Solovyev and Oleg Atkov rode a Soyuz descent capsule to a landing on the steppe in Soviet Kazakhstan. The Soviet evening television news showed the capsule wafting down un- der a red-and-white parachute, than a quick puff of fire and smoke as the craft's soft-landing engines fired During the delayed broadcast of the cosmonauts' return, Soviet television showed the three spacemen chatting with Soviet reporters moments after the landing while ground crews helped them out of the capsule and their space gear. The Soviet news agency Tass said that although yesterday was the 238th day of the mission, they had completed 237 full days in space. Tass said the three cosmonauts were in good physical condition. They surpassed the endurance record of Soviet cosmonauts Valentin Lebedev and Anatoly Berezovoy, who spent 211 days in space in 1982. During the mission abard an orbiting laboratory, the three cosmonauts were - visited by two other Soviet space crews. A member of one of the crews was Svetlana Savitskaya, who July 25 became the first woman to walk in space. Boat sinks in Hamburg harbor HAMBURG, West Germany - A chartered ferry carrying about 30 people on a birthday cruise sank after a collision with a tugboat in rainy Hamburg harbor last night. Police said one person drowned and five people were missing. They said 24 people were rescued and taken to hospitals and one body was recovered from the chilly waters following the collision of the ferry Martina and the tug Theresa. The accident occured at 1:25 p.m., and hours later patrol boats using spotlights and teams searching the harbor banks had not found any of the missing people. The captain of the ferry boat was among them, and police said that was one reason authorities had only sketchy details about the in- cident. They said they were trying to locate the tugboat's skipper and crew. Police spokesman Volker Hartwig told The Associated Press the ferry had been chartered for a birthday party and carried "around 30" people, in- cluding an unknown number of children, when the accident occured near'the point where the Elbe River flows into the huge harbor. Power outage darkens West PORTLAND, Ore. - A "major disturbance" in electrical transmission lines briefly cut off power yesterday to nearly three-quarters of a million people in parts of eight Western states, officials said. Power was out for periods ranging from 15 minutes to an hour in parts of Idaho, Oregon, Washington, California, Nevada, New Mexico and Arizona. Some customers noticed only a brief flicker in lights, and some large in- dustrial plants in Utah also were affected. The Bonneville Power Administration's high-voltage system "separated from both Idaho and California" about 10:05 a.m. PDT, said Ed Mosey, a spokesman for the federal agency that supplies hydroelectric power to local utilities. The agency restored power to affected utilities at 10:20 a.m., he said, but some individual utilities took longer to restore power. "We don't know what caused it, whether it was on our system or someone else's system," Mosey added.
