Monday reported a nuclear accident at the Cher*
t nobyl power plant. It said one nuclear reactor was
damaged and those "affected'* were Iwiing given

Reports on the accident carried by the official
Tass news agency did not disc lose whether there
were any deaths. It was not immediately known if
the reference to those "affected" implied that
some people were injured.
The Tass reports were issued after Swedish
officials said increased radiation levels were
detected north of Stockholm, apparently because
of a radiation leak in the Soviet Union. Similar in
creases in radiation levels wore reported in
Finland.
It was believed to be the first time the Soviets
had reported on a nuclear accident. The initial ac
cident report came in a brief dispatch from the
Soviet Council of Ministers that was carried by
.. Tass.
The government Haul an investigatory com
mission has been sot up, .‘tiding, ‘'measures are
(wing undertaken to eliminate the consequences
of the accident.”
One nuclear reactor was damaged in the acci
dent. Tass said. The Tass report gave no other
details.
There is a city in the Ukraine named Cher
nobyl. north of Kiev. It was not clear from the
Tass report whether that is where the nuclear
plant accident occurred.
In New York, Eugene Gan thorn, an analyst at
the office of the Atomic Industrial Forum, a U.8.
industry group of utilities and suppliers, said the
nuclear plant is located at a new town called
Pripyat near Chernobyl. The plant constat* of four
t.OOO-megawatt reactors constructed in 1077., .
t081 and 1HH3. he said
The city of Chernobyl is some 750 miles from1
the area in Sweden where officials reported-in
creased radiation. ...

delivered to a Western news
agency in Moslem west Beirut
claimed that Paul Appleby. 28.
of Bristol. England, was on a

In another development, the

the Netherlands was closing its
embassy in Moslem west Beirut
because of the wave of kidnapp
ings and murders since the
American raids April 15 on
Tripoli and Benghazi All Dutch
nationals are to he evacuated
from the Moslem sector

in his knapsack, was shot once
in the back of the head with a
small-caliber pistol near the

Garden Tomb.- a -Christian H«»ly
shrine on the hilltop Protestants
believe is the site of Christ’s
crucifixion and burial.
Palestinian sources in Beirut
said hadry probably was an Abu .
Nidal follower killed in action, •
but they bad no specific infor
mation about him : • • .
According to the statement-,
Appleby's murder was “retalid-:
tian for the complicity of-the .
Thatcher government-' in the
U S imperialist aggression on.
Libya,*’ The reference was to ,
the British government of Prime
Minister Margaret Thatcher,
which supported the U.S. raids.

terrorists involved, but said all
“returned safely to base.”

*1 believe elementary due process and fairness to roe and
my family require appointment of an independent counsel,’

Congress set up the special prosecutor's procedure ‘ as
the means by which persons tn my position can have such
aliegatons weighed and resolved by experienced, impartial
