Pretty Blonde Secretary Dates
 Two Dolphins

SAN FRANCISCO R - A pretty secretary at the California Acad emy of Sciences is dating two dolphins in her off duty hours these days.
 The 250-pound marine mammals will be feature attractions when worldwide famous Steinhart , Aquarium in Golden Gate Park re- opens Friday after being closed two years for a $15 million face lifting.
 Fresh from the sea, they have yet to be tanned and trained.
 Secretary Phyllis Cobb, clad in rubber suit and mask and with underwater breathing equipment strapped on, disports with dol phins in their 63,00O gallon tank at the aquarium.
 At first they were extremely wild and afraid of her. But now they gulp fish she hands them under water. And they playfully sneak behind her to try to yank her blonde pigtail.
 "They love to play Phyllis said, "but they could be danger ous."
 She explained that they have a mouthful of sharp teeth and also use their hard shouts for putting. dolphins will take on sharks and usually win, she said.
 Aquarist Fred Jenne was forced to make a hasty exit from the tank recently when the pair decided to play volleyball Jenne was the ball.
 Phyllis is secretary to Dr. Earl Herald, superintendent-curator of the aquarium and program host for television's Science In Action" series. She spent two nights a week for three months taking a scuba course in pursuit of her hobby.
 Many of her weekends are de- voted to collecting expeditions for the aquarium-''really hard work but fun," she says.
 The dolphins will be trained in the leaping and balancing stunts featured at Marineland of the Pa cific near Los Angeles. Marine land presented the pair to the aquarium.

 The governor said he would take proper steps to grant a full and complete pardon for Russell, who has "an excellent record.'
 The transplant, believed first of its kind, would alleviate human misery and suffering for years to come," Barnett said.
 A spokesman at the University of Mississippi Fedical Center in Jackson said Russell's transplanted lung was functioning satisfactorily.
 Surgeons disclosed almost two weeks ago the lung had been trans planted from an unrelated donor.

Dr. Edward Teller:
 Continued Testing Needed to Develop Missile Defense

WASHINGTON R-Dr. Edward Teller said Tuesday he believe. the Soviet Union is ahead of the United States in the field of nu. clear explosives and may be the first to develop an effective de. fense against missiles.
 Teller, known as the father oi the nuclear bomb" addressed about 100 House members at breakfast The session was arranged by Rep Stephen Derounian, R-N.YD, a leader of congressional group op- posing nuclear test bans without Wide-open inspection.
 Most of those who attended were Republicans. Among the Demo- crats was House majority leader Carl Albert of Oklahoma.
 Teller said there "are strong indications" the Soviet Union has outdistanced the United States in nuclear testing and experimental tion. He theorized some of the ex- periments may deal with work on a defense against missiles.
 Continued testing, he said, is necessary to develop a missile de- fense, but the tests do not have to be of big bombs. Although there are ways to detect testing of large bombs, he said, it is next to inn possible to detect explosions with less than 1000 tons of TINT blast force
 Should the Soviet Union develop any effective missile defense, he added, i've may be only a few years away from total destruction"
 Teller said he did not believe the United States should have nu- clear weapons available to all of it's allies but should give them "the knoW-hoW"
 we are treating our allies as children" he said. we keep secrets from our friends; secrets the Russians already know and our allies know the Russians know"
