Canadian newspaper says Israel has atomic bombs
MONTREAL - The Montreal Gazette reported yesterday that Israel has built five 20-kiloton atomic bombs and has almost finished work on a sixth.
The Gazette bannered the report over four columns and credited it to its Montreal-based special correspondent, Peter Lust, who has a number of foreign contacts, including many in West Germany.
Lust's report that Israel had become the world's sixth nuclear power said the bombs' existence were uncovered by a group of West German journalists. The West German story will appear in Der Spiegel at the end of this week. Lust wrote.
Lust said the Israeli bombs were similar to those dropped by the United States on Hiroshima and Nagasaki in World War II.
Lust said Israel had not
conducted any test explosions to date.
Israel denied a National Broadcasting Company (NBC) report in January that a nuclear bomb was "almost ready."
Lust said the NBC report "missed the exact date by only 18 days. The bombs were completed during early February," Lust said.
The story said Israel could presently deliver a nuclear weapon with its A8 Skyhawk jets and, later with F4 Phantom jets that will soon be operational.
Lust's account said the bombs were assembled at Israel's nuclear test station in the Negev Desert, near the settlement of Dimona, and were later rushed "to an unknown destination, whose location is Israel's best kept secret."
He said the test station near Dimona had been one of the country's best kept military secrets, although it was reportedly discovered nine years ago when American U2 observation planes photographed it.
He said one Israeli plane was shot down by rockets and the pilot killed on June 6, 1967, when it accidentally strayed over the Dimona site after being hit by Egyptian ground fire.
Lust said Egypt had been aware of the bombs' completion in Israel since February, when it was discovered by the Arab country's intelligence service. He said the Egyptian government had asked the Soviet Union for nuclear arms for possible retaliation, but the request was turned down.

Disorders on campus discussed by Agnew
SALT LAKE CITY (UPI) Campus disorders and their effect on the nation's moral fiber were discussed yesterday by Vice President Spiro T. Agnew during a visit to Utah.
Agnew told 10,000 students at Brigham Young University (BYU) at Provo, that universities should not be sanctuaries for "political activists" or for "psychologically maladjusted" students.
Agnew told BYU students, "not in every case, but in too
many cases, we have young adults hell-bent on 'non-negotiable' destruction.
"We have college administrators confused and capitulating. We have sophisticated faculties distraught and divided over issues as basic as the criminality of breaking and entering, theft, vandalism and assault and battery."

He noted "the vast, faceless majority" of Americans are in quiet fury over campus troubles. BYU students applauded the Vice President. There never has been a major student disorder on the Provo campus.
