ICC to tell railroad to move
WASHINGTON—The Interstate Commerce Commission yesterday prepared to order swift resumption of freight shipments on the strike-bound and finan-
The ICC decided to revise a plan ordering the Kansas City Terminal Co. to operate the Rock Island system for 60 days to relieve the mounting economic burden of the terminal.
The farmers have been unable to ship huge grain harvests to market because of the strike.
The ICC met in a special session after it received a letter from Transportation Secretary Nell Gololdschmidt said he was "shocked" by the handling of the case.
Here also is a chance that the ICC will delay action for 48 hours to bolster its legal case for ordering the resumption of operations, an action that might be needed.
Although the ICC had planned to take final action by today, paperwork and other details have delayed until the end of this week or early next action that would start freight moving along the Rock Island's 13-state, 7,000-mile system. ICC officials said.
Virginia reactor shut down
GUTONOM, Va.—A nuclear reactor at Virginia Electric & Power Co.'s North Anna power station automatically shut itself down yesterday after a heat exchanger tube failed and radioactive xenon gas was released, company officials said.

a spokeman said the company's preliminary investigation indicated that about 100,000 cubic feet of the radioactive isotope xenon 33 was released over a two-hour period. The spokeman, who asked not to be named, said the amount of radioactive gas would be 1.4 million cubic feet per minute over a three-month period.

Tellico Dam to be completed
NEW YORK—President Carter announced last night that he had signed "with mixed reactions" a $10.86 billion appropriation bill that includes funds to complete the controversial Tellico Dam in Tennessee, a project that threatens the tiny snail darter.
"I accept, with regret, this action as expressing the will of the Congress," Carter said, noting that both houses had authorized completion of the dam by 2015.
Carter said that if he had vetoed the bill, the Tellico Dam would have repeatedly been the subject of future legislative battles and might have undermined the Endangered Species Act, which Carter has promised to vigorously enforce.
The appropriation measure includes $36 million for the dam. About $100 million already has been spent on the dam, which is 90 percent complete.
