Sherwood Rowland of the University of California at Irvine proposed last year that the propellants, called fluorocarbons, find their way into the stratosphere where they act chemically to deplete the ozone layer. The ozone layer shields the earth from .‘ultraviolet radiation that is a major cause of skin cancer. Dr. Rowland and others ■ estimated that a one per cent depletion could cause 10,000 new cases of skin cancer in this country. PHILADELPHIA (AP) —The evidence that spray can propellants are dam aging the protective ozone in the stratosphere already appears strong enough to warrant action against their use, several scientists agreed yesterday. "The decision-makers do not have much room to hedge their bets," said Dr. Ralph Cicerone of the University of Michigan. making the general point that toa much damage could be done while waiting for conclusive proof.

She literally revolutionized dance, and leading dancers and choreographers proclaim, without envy, that she.has been the dance world’s greatest influence in this century. This'influence has extended far beyond dance. Playwrights hail her dance-dramas as "the greatest body of poetic drama in the world today”; artists and designers point to her productions for their fusion of dance-actior with scenery and costumes, and her collaboration with contemporary composers has won her the .-Laurel Leaf of the Composers Alliance for her service to music. With all this, the Martha Graham Dance "Company has electrified audiences all over the world with its unique kind of theatre and dance magic. Many will view their visit here as the most important cultural event in years. Shattering theatre .. A magnificent cast."

Another participant, Dr. Fred Kaufman of . the University of Pittsburgh, said, “the convergence of different laboratories on the ultimate truth is fairly rapid.” The general conclusion which may be drawn at this early stage,” Dr. Kaufman said, “is that none of the laboratory results on im portant. . . reactions to date contradict the seriousness of the projected ozone removal problem.” Dr. Steven C.

The album is a deliberate sellout to AM radio, and artistically dishonest. Bovine's venture into soul music is a turnoff from his brilliant past career. Bowie was .obscure in America until he recorded the “Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars.” “Ziggy was the apex of an eclectic, career and Bowie had nowhere to go but down. ; Bowie never tied himself to one style but remained open and experimental. “Space Oddity” and “Hunky&Dory” were great soft rock; the eerie “Man Who Sold the World” is better heavy metal than most of what’s done today. „ After “Zi’ggy,” Bowie’s image hung over him and detracted too much attention from his music. Many were turned off by his flaunted bisexuality and couldn’t stand to look at him, much less listen. Magazines published photos of his outrageous castumes; little was said about “Ziggy” ’s flashy haTd rock, tight arrangements, or flawless production. (Another performance, on April 17, has been sold out by Theatre/Dance subscrip tions.

Somewhere beneath the hype was a human and an artist, but after “Ziggy” we saw little of either. Much of this is Bowie’s own fault. “Aladdin Sane” and “Diamond Dogs” are portraits of an artist trying to cash in on his image. 5 Despite some imitations of Mick Jagger, these were not bad albums. They were uneven, but anything he did sounded pale compared to “Ziggy Stardust.” Anything good about “Aladdin’ 5 and ‘Diamond Dogs” was glossed over by Image; lightning-bolt makeup, half-human portraits and albums with “plots” about nuclear holocaust and the destruction of humanity. There was very little humanity in either album. With “Young Americans,” Bowie is trying to drop the glitter-rock image by trying on a new mask. It’s a disaster. I’ll take the glitter. “Young Americans” is more phony than anything Bowie has ever done. His last four albums were glossed with hype but this album is total hype. Bowie is trying to be something he isn’t: a soul singer. Almost every cut is an imitation of one soul artist or another. I can hear the Spinners in the title song, the Temptations in “Fascination,” Barry White in “Right.” The style and production—strings and standard soul percussion backed with the obligatory female chorus—are pure Philadelphia style , which Bowie tacitly justifies by recording the album in Philadelphia. Sure. And if you recorded an album in San Francisco you would sound like Jefferson Airplane—right. David? Bowie drops the soul facade just long enough to slaughter Lennon and McCartney's ethereal hymn “Across the Universe:” 6 His vocal style clashes with the composition and he makes things worse by caricaturing himself, sounding like he’s singing through a mouthful of lukewarm oatmeal. John Lennon, who plays on this cut, ought to be strung up by his thumbs for participating'in this abomination. Both Lennon and are capable of so much better. Nothing by Bowie can be all bad, and “Young Americans” has its moments. “Win" and “Fascination”' feature fair vocals, and “Fame,” written in collaboration with Lennon and Carlos Alomar, is listenable. So much for good news. You can’t escape one false mask by trying on another. There’s nothing wrong ( with ex perimentation, but this isn’t an experiment, it’s pandering. In trying to reach a new audience, Bowie will probabvy. end up alienating the one he has already. If David can’t do another “Ziggy Stardust,” or eveh a “Diamond Dogs," he ought to release his "Midnight Special" performance of “You Didn't Hearit from Me” and “1984” on a single, then pack up and forget it. go*- v &
