Reagan WASHINGTON (AP)- President Reagan, declaring ill-conceived gover- nment intrusion a chief cause of the country's energy problems, yesterday sent Congress a bill to dismantle the Department of Energy. In seeking to abolish the Cabinet agency created four years ago, Reagan proposed transferring most of its programs to the Commerce Depar- tment. The departments of Interior, Justice, and Agriculture would get smaller slices of the current agency. "CONSTANT overregulation of energy producers and industries in the past by the Department of Energy shackled our drive to increase domestic production," Reagan declared at a White House ceremony to unveil the new reorganization plan. The Energy Department was created 'U' resun (Continued from Page 1) account for inflation, but still do not tal assets into consideration.

Soviets quiet (Continued from Page 10) "wasted on conventional and nuclear arms." SOVIET MEDIA regularly report western opinion polls showing sen- timent against nuclear weapons. But the Kremlin does not release similar in- formation on the Soviet Union. A book issued this spring, "The Danger of Nuclear War," gave detailed medical data on the U.S. atomic bom- bings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki at the close of World War II. The book and its principal author, heart specialist Yevgeny Chazov, have been widely quoted by Soviet media. Neither the book nor the Soviet press, however, speculated on the possible destruction of Moscow, Leningrad or other major cities in a nuclear holocaust. CHAZOV, REPORTEDLY Brezhnev's personal doctor, is emerging as a key figure in the "Soviet peace movement," due largely to his role as founder of "International Physicians for the Prevention of Nuclear War." The group includes prominent doc- tors from a number of western coun- tries. Chazov's book, subtitled "A Physician's Viewpoint," referred repeatedly to "western militarist cir- cles" who, it said, "readily resort to nuclear blackmail to achieve their political ends and gain unilateral ad- vantage." The closest Chazov's book came to admitting the destructive potential of the Soviet nuclear arsenal was the ob- servation that "experts estimate that the U.S.A. and U.S.S.R. have enough on arms role weapons, taken together, to kill all living things on earth many times over." President Reagan has asserted, however, that the Kremlin has 'a nuclear edge over the United States, andtcouldhuse it to gain first striketad- vantage. Other Americans claim that the Soviet Union has plans that would enable it to survive a nuclear exchange. Elementary civil defense posters are displayed in some public buildings, and sold in military book stores, instructing people to hide under desks in the event of attack. Little is said, though, of reported Soviet plans to evacuate people and in- dustry from cities. Government of- ficials refuse to discuss their civil defense plans with foreign correspon- dents. ye GMCAT REVIEW PROGRAMS June 1+ NEW LSAT: Begin to im- prove your writing skills now for the "ew essay section.- June 23 GMAT: Register now for June seminars: Receive our Moth Re- fresher text by return mail.
