Princeton senior claims workable A-bomb design
Princeton University senior John Aristotle Phillips, 21, designed a 125 pound device the size of a beachball claiming it would have about one third the power of the Hiroshima bomb. He outlines a plutonium core weapon requiring 6.96 kilograms of plutonium and notes graduate MIT built a similar project. Nuclear experts deem the concept plausible but warn about safety and secrecy rules.

Russia Rejects Ford Proposal On A Treaty
Washington sources say President Ford's plan to seal a nuclear treaty with the Soviet Union was rejected over the cruise missile issue. The compromise would have limited both sides to 2,400 strategic delivery systems through 1985 and 1,320 missiles with multiple warheads, but Moscow insisted cruise missiles be counted. Negotiations stalled, affecting Ford's foreign policy shade before the election.

Mystery Disease Study Across Nations Raises Alarm
Scientists in the United States, Britain, and Belgium pursue the source of a mysterious illness killing at least 61 since mid September in Sudan and Zaire. WHO calls it an event of international importance while labs in Porton Down, Antwerp, and Atlanta test samples. Reports place 80 cases in Sudan with 40 deaths and 49 cases with 41 deaths in Zaire, including Belgian nuns and a missionary priest.
