WASHINGTON, LR- The United States may be about to rock the peaceful mid-Pacific with the most thunderous man-made ex- plosion in world history.

 The AEC said men and equip ment will begin moving this month to it's Pacific proving grounds in the Marshall Islands for "a further phase of a continu- ing series of weapons tests.

Request Denied For Injunction Against Peters

SEATTLE, R- Federal Judge William J. Lindberg denied a gov ernment request Friday for tenn porary injunction and restrainer that would have removed Louis C. Peters as manager of the Alaska Native Industries Cooperative As sociation.
 The judge, describing the case as an unusual action," said he did not consider there was any emergency that would justify is- stance of an injunction.
 He offered no opinion on wheth- CT Peters has a valid contract to continue as AMIGA manager.
 The Interior Departments In dian Affairs Bureau brought suit in federal court seeking to have all assets of the Native Industries Assn. turned over to the depart ment's Alaska Native Service.
 The cooperative, owned by 33 Alaska native villages, was organ ized in 1947 with the approval of the Indian Affairs Bureau to speed economic development of the will ages. It does about a million dol lars worth of business a year
 Since then the co-op has run up debts with the US. Government of about S53O,00O, and the govern ment has agreed with the 33 vill- ages to take over their interest in the AMIGA as collateral.
 Peters was ordered by the h. dian Affairs Bureau to relinquish his office after failure to reach agreement on mutually accept able contract. The bureau con- tends in it's suit that Peters con- tract expired more than a year ago and he has been retained since then on a month-to-month basis.
 The governments suit asking transfer of the cooperative to the Alaska Native Service remains to be heard.
