Lapp, who helped in development of the atom bomb says it's his opinion that fallout from the Soviet Union's nuclear tests have exceeded the "safe annual limit." The Soviets fired their 19th at mospheric explosion Sunday in their current test series. Lapp was interviewed on a re corded radio program ABC As We See It-Sunday. They have, according to the latest count, sent up over 10 megatons of weapons. I don't know precisely how much of this would be dirty, but this, in my opinion, exceeds the safe level that a number of scientists some of them from the Atomic Energy commission agreed upon as al safe level back in 1957 when we didn't know about the different! kind of fallout from Russian tests," Lapp said. 'It turns out that Russian tests dump their debris back to the earth sooner than the American tests in the Pacific. And, there fore, we find out on the actual base of measuiements that you get 10 times as much radiation dose from these arctic tests in Russia as you do from American tests in the Pagific. "Therefore, the safe annual limit for Russian testing I would put closer to the value of 3 mega tons per year than I would the old l'.OT value of 10 megatons per year. A megaton is the equivalent ol of the energy released by a mil- lion tons of TNT. The Atomic Energy Commission in announcing the Soviet Union's 19th nuclear detonation, stiid the blast was in the atmosphere and vas in "the low yield range. The AEC has defined low range as equivalent to about 20,000 tons of TNT. , KEWSPIPEIS V IttraUUn&Selir UAW Masses Pickets To Stop Salary Workers DETROIT (AP) The United Auto Workers Union today massed picket lines at Ford Mo tor Co. administrative offices in Baby Born On Flight ANCHORAGE, Alaska (AP) The message from the Federal Aviation Agency's Air Traffic Con trol Center snapped: "Get off the air!

The four. Larry Magee, 16, Rob ert Hall, 17, Michael Kilkenny, 16, and William Castillo, 17, were con victed of beating the 27-year-old teacher last April and leaving him semi-conscious on streetcar tracks where a trolley ran over him. Superior Judge Charles S. Peery sentenced the four after denying defense pleas for a new trial re duction in charges and clemency. Defense attorneys said they planned to ask again for a new trial. The youths showed no emotion when the sentence was delivered, in contrast to their tearful reac tion on Sept. 8 when a jury re turned the guilty verdict. The boys said at the trial that they did not intend to kill Hall, but had attacked him while roam ing the city searching for homo sexuals. No evidence was present ed Indicating Hall was a homo sexual. Judge Peery had no choice oth er than lite imprisonment sen tences for the four.

"The stepped up picket lines ac tivity came as the union and Ford sought agreement on local plant issues. Settlement of local plant issues between the union and the auto manufacturers is becoming in creasingly tougher.

The Ford strike followed a two- week walkout by UAW workers at General Motors Corp. plants lasi month over local issues. A surprise development was tossed into the UAW frying pan Sunday night when Local 72 ot Kenosha, Wis., rejected the histor ic profit-sharing plan worked out earlier with American Motors Corp. Local 72's move took even the UAW's top brass by surprise. Norman Mathews, UAW vice president and director of the un ion's AMC department, said the 'All '-J 8 9 4 profit-sharing plan was accepted; in generally lavorable terms by the UAW's four other AMC locals.
