DUGWAY, Utah. Aug. 90
The thick gray cloud Of gas
rolled toward the group Of re-
porters. They stepped forward
to meet it.
In seconds they were blind,
choking, confused, their skin
burned. They could think of
only one thing: get out of that
deadly cloud.
In 20 seconds they were out,
still blind. gagging, helpless.
But after a minute in the open
air they realized that what the
Army Chemical Warfare Serv-
ice officers had told them was
true-the gas wasn't at all
deadly. The after effects were
slight. A little nose blowing
and tear wiping and the re-
porters could joke about the
demonstration and take notes
on their own symptoms.
This was the first public
demonstration of a new chem
ical war gas called simply
"CS." Designed for riot con-
troll, it is now available to
American troops in West Ber-
lin-or any other of the worlds
hotspots where Communicated
uprisings might need a firm but
gentle stopper.
This reporter can guarantee
that no rioter would stay on
the job after CS began rolling
in. But at the same time no
one would be hurt.
It's a super tear gas. The
formula is secret. But the i'm
portant thing is that it will
stop rioters cold while tear gas
will not always slow down a
determined man.
New Gas Shown
CS is one of the new non-
deadly gases the Army has de-
veloped. Another, called "GB,'
was also shown the reporters
yesterday. Nerve gas shells were
lobbed into the vicinity of 9

ers, fox holes and a machine.

trained on the goats. and the
reporters watched screens II

One minute and five seconds
after the first shell hit. the
goat in the open machin-gur
nest lay down gently and died
Twenty seconds later the goa
in a log bunker died. After
minutes SIS seconds the goat il
the protected, concrete shelter
was dead.
There was one survivor. 4

upwind from the gas. Another
goat in a bunker had a ga

first shell hit-about the tim,

This goat fell down, blinded

did said there was no pain, NJ

Homemokers Items
Haze You Paid
81 For ACan OF
Beans Lately?

Have you paid four dollars for
a can of beans lately? No?
Don't be too sure.
Overheard in a Virginia mar
ket recently was, Il Just dropped
in for a can of beans I forgot
yesterday" In her shopping cart
this lady had one pound of choco-
late candy, three packages of
gum, one package of rolls, one
beef roast, two frozen dinners.
one cake pan, and, of course,
one can of beans.
Don Long. agricultural econo-
mist at VPI, thinks this is either
expensive beans. or expensive
forgetting. He says. Take time
to think and plan your shopping
list. If this lady had done so it
would have saved her trip the
next day. and, if she had to
drive, money as Well"
He adds that store managers
love shoppers like the forgetful
one. More trips to the store add
up to more sales, more volume
for the store. It follows that the
more unnecessary trips. the
more unnecessary items bought
land a harder time for the food
budget.

pect to seek funds to establish
the proposed transportation
agency so it can begin an i'm
mediate planning job on a
transportation system as well
as probably making a start on
right of-way acquisition for
transit facilities on Route 66 in
nearby Virginia.
Civic Groups Included
Besides governmental agen-
cieS. Senator Bibles invitation
is going to various civic organi-
cations which have indicated
interest in the transportation
problem. The joint committee
conducted extensive hearings
last fall on the subject and
heard from many groups at
that time.
The forthcoming sessions are
being planned for two days.
The committee is expecting to
hear from spokesmen for the
District and suburban govern
mentS at that time and hopes
for Endorsement of the Budget
Bureau plan.
This plan, in addition to
a temporary transportation
agency, calls for a compact for
an interstate transit proprie-
tary agency and possibly later
a Federal transportation cor
poration.
One of the chief aims Of
the plan is to spur better public
transit in order to curb traffic
congestion.

Sioner Jess P. Unger, executive
director.
Col. Unger conceded that the
6-hour parking plan has OBJ
vious flaws. For example, he
noted the regulation would
catch the family where both
husband and wife now take a
bus to work and leave their
car parked in front of their
home.
But, he emphasized, the
streets selected for the 6-hour
limit would be the ones now
lined during week days with
Maryland and Virginia cars.
The committee did not propose
that the restriction be limited
to out-of- city cars because of
the legal question involved in
such enforcement discrimina-
ton, Col. Unger explained.
The public hearing would be
only on the proposal to adopt
the 6-hour parking restriction
regulation, and the streets
where it would be applied would
be chosen later.

HARGROVE'S FLOATS are

HARGROVE'S FLOATS are
in the Atlantic City parade
preceding the Miss America
contest and the fall tobacco
festival in Richmond.
The two showed me around.
All I have to say is that
Cleopatra's barge on the Nile
could not compare with the
floats that will carry the
selected beauties of our so
States down K street.
The Tennessee barge is a
ShoWboat, a vehicle worthy
of Cap'n Andy and Magnolia
and Gaylord Ravenal. South
Dakota is having a centen-
nial and its float bears a yoke
of oxen drawing a covered
wagon.
The Puerto Rican float not
only has a moon but a golden
road leading up to it. 1t
also has outriggers. Steel
booms extend from the float
and at the end of each is
a cart loaded with sugar cane
and drawn by a stuffed
donkey.
Many of the 26 floats are
commercial. The New York
float advertiseS Shaefer'S
Beer. Shannon & Luchs,
the real estate firm, will have
a float with a balcony worthy
of Juliet over a lily pond of
Reynolds wrap. 1t represents
the Capitol Park Apartments.
But the African float prob
ably will attract the most at
tention. 1t is the entry Of
the Roma Restaurant, whose
proprietor, Frank Abbo, made
a safari into that big-game
country last year. Heads of
lions and antelopes including
the great kudu and ZebraS
he slew will be peeking out
from jungle grass. And in
the center Frank himself will
stand with his .30-06 Win
chester, back from the happy
hunting grounds.
Its a funny thing" said
one in showing me around,
"how long it takes to build
these floats and how brief is
the look that anyone gets as
they roll by.
What was the biggest price
I ever got for a float? 1t
was a Hawaiian float for an
inaugural parade. 1t cost
$4,000. They were going
after statehood, and they got
it."
