Suit to halt AEC nuke test in Aleutians
A UPI report says a new Committee for Nuclear Responsibility filed federal court action to stop the AEC from staging Cannikin, a five megaton underground test planned for October at Amchitka in the Aleutians. The group argues the test threatens wildlife and could affect disarmament talks. Co chairmen include Dr. John W. Gorman and former Sen. Charles Goodell. The suit is joined by Sierra Club and Friends of the Earth among others.
