Hartke Attacks Pentagon Over Poison Gas Rail Shipment

Sen. Vance Hartke accused the Pentagon of moving a World War I phosgene rail car shipment from the Rocky Mountain Arsenal to unknown destination possibly toward New Jersey for dumping into the Atlantic. The Army began unloading 170 obsolete gas cars in Colorado while seeking safer disposal methods and faced Senate criticism over plans to dispose of 27 000 tons of nerve and mustard gas off New Jersey.
