Army Holds To Plan To Sink Nerve Gas
The army proceeds with shipping 12 500 nerve gas rockets to an Atlantic burial ground despite UN criticism and Congress charges of heavy handed blackmail. Rockets move from Anniston Alabama and Richmond Kentucky by rail with guard trains and disaster units before scuttling off Cape Kennedy. Thant urged an international panel while State Department said the plan complies with international law. Rep Paul Rogers described the disposal as blackmail and Gov Claude Kirk would seek an injunction to block it.

Bremen braces for nerve gas train through town
Bremen Georgia mayor Robert Richie says the nerve gas train from Anniston Army Depot to the Atlantic will pass slowly through the town of 3600. The shipment includes 305 vaults with 30 rockets each and 113 more from Bluegrass Depot, to be buried at sea. Locals recall earlier guarded convoys, likening it to a circus train.
