Waste storage tactics suspect

Robert Miller, R-Wellington, during a hearing on a bill that would prohibit storage in Kansas of all high-level radioactive waste and out-of-state, low-level waste, charged that two men operating the Rickano Corp. had been among the six companies licensed in the United States to store radioactive waste.

Carter rouses sleepy draft board
But President Charles shook Rip awake in his State of the Union message Wednesday with his declaration that "I have determined the Selective Service must be revitalized."
WASHINGTON (AP) - In the $1/2$ years since the Selective Service System chose someone to serve, the agency sort of went to sleep, like a bureaucratic ramp Van Winkle.
The last drafter was chosen on June 30, 1973, but at Selective Service headquarters nobody could recall his name. It was so long ago that no one knew of him. A grade 6 learning where Afghanistan was.
When the word draft is mentioned, today's young men are more armed and more armed for the armed forces. And conscription? A way to get magazine? Something to be killed at the drug store? A way to get magazine?
Carter's words sounded like reveille at draft headquarters and roused it from its slumber.
All 18 lines on the switchboard flashed as a lone receptionist tried to cope with them.
THE BOSS, Bernard Rostker, was out of the office.
The public relations officer could not be found. The chore of talking about the Selective service fell to Marjorie Davidson, legislative officer of the agency.
"I think he's at the White House," said an assistant.
The agency has 98 employees, a budget of $7 million and a mandate to be ready to institute a law if conditions were to warrant A lot of that money was used to train The National Guardism if a national emergency dictated a rash job for organizing an army.
By law, those aged 18 to 26 are eligible for the draft. Two million boys are born each year; so Selective Service has a pool of 18 million in that group.
AN ATTEMPT was made last year in AN. It occurred on Monday if it failed, instead, Congress asked the president to report on Selective Service reform. That report is due Feb. 9, but it could not be done.
In the same age group are about 17 million women, whose draft status would have to be determined by Congress.
President Gerald R. Ford ended registration of interest groups by Carter could reintroduce it, but he chose to ask Congress to do it. Carter plans to give the agency $10 million for the program.
While Davidson was explaining, there was little at the Selective Service headquarter that I could explain. The bureaucrats go—to indicate its future would be any less sleepy, than its recent
Once upon a time, those capsules were used in the lotteries that sent men to war.
Asked what was left of the good old days letters that began with "Greetings," Davidson only pointed to a cardboard box in a room that contained about 75 red and blue
