The CIA reports confirm allegations made last year by exiled Soviet scientist doctor Zhores Medvedev. Doctor Medvedev had charged that a massive nuclear waste explosion in the southern Urals 19 years ago had killed perhaps hundreds of people and contaminated the thou sands of square miles of area with deadly radiation. The new CIA memos, how ever, fail to disclose whether the nuclear accident in ques tion was a waste explosion or a conventional reactor explo sion. Doctor Medvedev, currently living in London, continues to insist that the mishap was a nuclear waste explosion, adding that this can be proved or disproved quite simply. Medvedev has identified certain migratory birds that live in the accident area each winter. He claims that the birds can currently be trapped in parts of Europe, and that their bones will contain radio active elements absorbed at the accident scene. According to Medvedev, the specific isotopes found in the birds' bones will demonstrate with certainty that it was a waste accident, not a reactor explosion, that devastated the central Urals 19 years ago. Twenty-two people who were arrested last May during the anti-nuclear power demonstrations in Seabrook, New Hampshire, have begun serving 20-day jail sentences for refusing to pay fines levied by a court. The 22 protesters were among 1414 persons arrested on May 1 at the Seabrook plant in demonstrating organ ized by the Clamshell Alliance. According to Harvey Wasserman, a Clamshell spokesperson, the 22 protesters were arrested last week after they refused to serve another 20 days in jail at $5 a day to pay off their existing fines. Wasserman said that while others paid their fines, the 22 objected to the payments because they thought it was "immoral" to pay for protesting against something which is a threat to human life. On the heels of these arrests, the public service company which owns the Seabrook site announced last Friday that the electric rates must be raised 17 percent in order to pay for the new plant. In earlier testimony before the public utility commission in New Hampshire, the utility company admitted that it would eventually have to raise rates as much as 60 percent to finance the Sea brook plant. ii The Gui/forc/ian The center for UFO studies reports it is looking into a strange "flying saucer" abduc tion case in which a young Kansas couple and their baby were reportedly taken aboard a space craft and examined by humanoid-like beings. The Evanston, Illinois, research group says that the incident has quietly been under intensive study since its reported occurrence last December near Goodland, Kansas. The researchers report that this case is strik ingly similar to what is reported to have happened seventeen years ago in the much publicized Betty and Barney Hill case. In the latest case, the couple is identified by the center only as "Joe" and "Carol" and their four month old son Luke. The researchers say that under hypnosis, the couple recalls being stopped in their car along a Kansas highway after nightfall, and being taken aboard a large saucer-shaped craft about 30 feet high and 150 feet wide. papists Dorft A psychiatrist from Albu querque who has been study ing rapists says there is no such thing as a profile of the "typical" rapist. Psychiatrist Richard Rada says he has been studying convicted rapists to see what makes them tick. The Univer sity of New Mexico doctor says that, basically, the rapist he studied are motivated by aggression, and the desire for dominance, control and power. Rada says that the rapist does not act primarily to Both Joe and Carol recall being examined in separate rooms by beings of nearly average human height, dressed in metallic clothes that resembled small "tubes" wrapped around their bodies. The entities are reported to have had large skull shaped heads, large foreheads, no hair, large deep-set eyes and no apparent mouths. The creatures reportedly commun icated quickly and easily with Joe and Carol through mental telepathy. The couple reportedly could not recall any of their two hour experience aboard the craft until they underwent hypnosis. They said later they found painless puncture marks and discoloration on parts of their bodies shortly after the incident, apparently caused by instruments used on them during a physical examination aboard the craft. The couple is quoted by the center as recalling that one thing that impressed them about the beings was the enti ties deep sense of "peaceful ness." release his sexual desires, and is not a "sex fiend." He reports that even in instances where a variety of sex acts are committed, aggressiveness is more impor tant than erotic experiences. Rada says that most rapists he studied are phsycially attractive, often married or going steady, and have been able to establish successful, though superficial, social relationships with the opposite sex. ESCAPE!! December 13, 1977 Covert Overt Former CIA director Richard Helms, who was found guilty last month on charges of lying to the U.S. Senate, has gone to work for the Shah of Iran. Helms has opened up a small suite of offices in Washington, D.C., which he says he will use to represent the Shah's government in the United States. The former CIA director says he has an associate stationed in Teheran, and that the two will attempt to promote sales of goods between the United States and Iran. After retiring from the CIA in 1973, Helms served as the American Ambassador to Iran for three years. ® AURA DEMOCRACY Philosopher, inventor and futurist Buckminster Fuller is predicting that political decisions in the distant future will be made on the basis of orbiting satellites picking up human thought patterns. In an interview with US News and World Report, Fuller says: "We've discovered that a human being gives off an electromagnetic field that can show whether a person is positive or negative about a subject." He continues: "Satellite sensors going around the world will be able to pick up each and every persons magnetic field and determine how the majority of humanity feels about a given proposition. It will be possible," says Fuller, "to ask big questions and get immediate total-humanity reactions. Using such a system, a continuing true majority of society will be gradually solving its own problems.
