Radioactivity Waste
Barrel Stops Battle
Port Orford, Ore. - (UPD A
barrel marked "AEC radio
active waste" was found early
Saturday on the beach at
Battle Rock state park near
here.
When a Geiger counter test
indicated some radioactivity,
coast guardsmen cleared the
beach . and called off a re
creation of the battle which
gave the beach its name. The
event was being held in ob
servance of Oregon's Centen
nial. A reading of .04 was reg
istered on the Geiger counter.
"Some" radioactivity was in
dicated over the 1,000 yard
stretch of beach where the
barrel was found.
A U.S. Navy monitoring
team was scheduled to arrive
at the beach some time yes
terday afternoon to check
the barrel for radioactivity.
Youngsters Touched
Several persons, including
a few youngsters, touched the
mysterious barrel before coast
guardsmen arrived and sealed
off the beach.
The barrel was being se
cured by the coast guard on
the beach to prevent its roll
ing up and down the beach
in the surf.
No information has been
made available as to the
source of the white barrel.
Normally Placed
A spokesman for the atomic
energy commission in Wash
ington, D.C. said normally
any "radioactive waste dis
posed at sea would be placed
in a barrel surrounded by ce
ment and dropped in several
thousand feet of water.
Only "low-level" radioac
tive waste from hospitals and
commercial firms using radio
active isotope processes is
disposed of at sea, the spokes
man said.

FtiiS tHIarriman Report Text
AsCfed by Democrat (Leader
Washington (UPD - The state
department yesterday had un
der consideration a demand
from Senate Democratic Whip
Mike Mansfield (Mont.) that
it give Congress the full text
of former New York Gov. Av
erell Harriman's report on his
talk with Soviet Premier Ni
kita Khrushchev.
Mansfield sent a telegram
to Secretary of State Christian
A. Herter Friday night asking
that the Harriman report be
made available to the Senate
Foreign Relations committee
and to all appropriate state
department personnel.
The report previously was
"leased" to some newsmen. Its
gist was carried Thursday by
two newspapers, the New
York Times and New York
Herald Tribune.
Demand Supported
Mansfield's demand was
supported by Sen. A. S. Mike
Monroney (D-Okla.fc a former
newspaperman, who said
there should be "no exclusive
release" of such information.
Monroney said the Harriman
report should be -made gener
ally, available unless it con
tains material which is classi
fied. Mansfield told United Press
International he also saw no
reason why the public should
not know about parts of the
former New York governor's
private report that did not
deal with national security.
Mansfield said he was dis
turbed at the department's
stand that the document could
not be made public because of
Harriman's private contract
with a news syndicate for pub
lication on his accounts of his
travels.
"Very Rough'
In accounts carried by the
two newspapers and later con
firmed by state department
sources, Khrushchev was de
scribed as being "very rough"
Highway Employees

ment employees in the Med-
ford area recently received

maintenance superintendent.
Receiving awards were Al
fred W. Overdick and Carl A.
Petersen, 20 years each, and

in his talks with Harriman.
This has been denied both
by Khrushchev and by First
Soviet Deputy Premier Frol
R. Kozlov, now touring this
country. .
The Washington Evening
Star, reported Friday that it
had contacted Harriman in
Bonn, Germany, and that he
denied that Khrushchev bad
been tough in his discussion of
Berlin and .other East-West is
sues. The Star quoted Harriman
as saying that the reports
"didn't come from me. They
sound like a botched-up leak
from the state department. It
seems like anything you say
to the department comes out
the other end like meat sausage."
