Having received his bachelor's Balloons With A Message The colored ballons made a charming picture as they drifted across the hot Colorado sky, but they carried a terrifying message: "...if you have found this ballon, you live downwind from the Rocky Flats Nuclear Weapons Plant, which has...released radioactive materials into the atmosphere several times in the past 20 years. Radiation that is spread by the same wind currents that brought this ballon to your area." The balloons were released in July, 1976 by a group of demonstrators standing on the grounds of the Rocky Flats plant sixteen miles from Denver, Colorado. This spring, on the 29th and 30th of April there will be another larger demonstration at the plant. Times have changed in the last two years. There is a nation-wide wave of concern over nuclear weapons and nuclear energy, and it is expected that the 1978 demonstration will draw students and anti-nuclear activists from across the country. The Rocky Flats Nuclear Plant is known as the "nuclear crossroads" of the nation because it receives plutonium produced by nuclear reactors and turns it into "triggers" (explosive devices) for all U.S. hydrogen bombs. To its critics, it thus provides the perfect example of the dangerous relationship between nuclear energy and nuclear weapons. During the last 20 years, Rocky Flats has been the site of more than 200 fires and other accidents, some of which have released plutonium and other radioactive Of Peru To Speak Dr. Belaunde also will discuss "The Prospects of Democracy in Latin America", tonight, at the meeting of the Foreign Policy Association of Harrisburg at 8 p.m. at Schindler's Restaurant, Camp Hill. degree in architecture at the University of Texas in 1935, he eventually became Professor of City and Regional Planning and of Public Housing, and Dean of Architecture at the National University of Engineering, Lima.

These accidents have motivated protests by citizens' groups, a law suit by local farmers who seek to stop further contamination of their land, and a formal recommendation from Colorado Governor, Richard Lamm, that the plant be phased out of operation. The April 29-30 demonstration is being planned by the Rocky Flats Action Group and two national organizations, the Fellowship of Reconciliation and the American Friends Service Committee. It will take place on the first anniversary of the Seabrook anti-nuclear occupation and is endorsed by the Clamshell Alliance. Many of the groups involved in the Rocky Flats action are members of the Mobilization for Survival, a national coalition of peace, social justice and environmental groups, which has been organizing- and encouraging similiar demonstrations across the country in preparation for the United Nations Special Session on Disarmament, May 23-June 26, in New York City. On Saturday, May 27, the mobilization plans a massive interna tional demonstration in Dag Hammarskjold Plaza to support world disarmament. Earlier in the same week, the Fellowship of Reconciliation will open the Plowshare, a discussion center and coffee house, in the Church Center for the United Nations directly across the street from the U.N. Ambassador Andrew Young has accepted an invitation to make the opening address at the Plowshare. During the five-week U.N. session, the Plowshare will provide a meeting place for U.N. delegates and members of the public and a forum for lectures, discussions and workshops on disarm ament and related subjects.

Hager is expected to speak on topics that will be of primary concern to voters in the gubernatorial race. These topics will probably include the Pennsylvania budget crisis and the Penn State tuition increases due to the funds cut off from the state. One of Hager's platforms is to open the state budget and allow the legislature to participate in planning as well as accepting the budget. The budget for next year is currently being planned by Governor Shapp but the legislature is not directly involved in the planning.
