Soviets Call For Controls of Weather Warfare

The Soviet government is warning that nations of the earth may soon be subjected to such environmental horrors as artificial tidal waves or ultra-violet bombardment through holes in the ozone unless "weather war" is outlawed.

A call for control over environmental weapons was issued at the United Nations last week by Soviet Ambassador Jacob Malik.

Malik stated that scientists have the technology to set off nuclear explosions inside the Arctic or Antarctic ice cap, producing gigantic ice slides that would trigger tidal waves that could engulf cities.

He warned that ozone layers could be manipulated high above the earth so that deadly, cancer-causing radiation could be directed against selected targets on the earth.

Malik called for the United Nations to draw up a disarmament agreement that would outlaw all forms of weather or environmental weapons of war.

The U.S. Defense Department has admitted to using weather weapons in Vietnam, reportedly flying thousands of cloudseeding sorties to increase rainfall in efforts to hinder the movement of North Vietnamese troops. ZODIAC

The Academy says it does not oppose the idea of thousands of Mick Jagger offspring being fathered. What is worrisome, says the Academy, is that when these children grow up, they could marry one another without knowing they have the same father. 

This, the Academy warms, is incest - and could lead to genetic problems in the future.

Four & Twenty Black Birds

The army has announced plans to kill 14 million blackbirds this winter by spraying them with a chemical that will cause the birds to freeze to death.

The massive bird-killing project, the army reports, will be staged at two army installations - at Fort Campbell, Kentucky, and at the Milan Army Ammunition Plant in Tennessee. 

Defense Department officials complain that the estimated 14 million birds around the two bases are aviation "hazards."

The army's plan is to employ helicopters and airplanes to drop detergent-like chemicals mixed with water on the unsuspecting birds.

The chemical takes the protective oil away from the birds' feathers, and when the temperature drops below 45 degrees, the birds become chilled and cold, and eventually freeze to death.

Short Takes

The Pentagon is pushing Congress to make its first outright territorial land grab in more than half a century. the Pentagon has its eyes on the commonwealth of the Marianas, 14 islands located 1600 miles off the Asian mainland. The Pentagon already has plans to construct a $300 million air and naval base on the Tinian, the flat-topped volcanic island in the Marianas chain from which the U.S. launched the B-29's that dropped atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
