As many as 20 of 4 drums broke open when they were thrown from the truck, which was going from Wyoming to a Kerr-Mee Gnee National Corp. plant in Gore.

Poll says U. S. not conserving
WASHINGTON—An Associated Press-NBC News poll indicates that almost one-fifth of the American population has not tried to cut energy use.
The poll, in which 1,600 people were interviewed Monday and Tuesday, also indicated that even if gasoline prices reached $1 a gallon, more than one-fourth of the population would be covered.
Sixty-eight of those interviewed said they thought the oil shortage was a hoax, 22 percent said the shortage was real and 10 percent said they were not sure.
The president Carter appealed to Americans to ease the energy shortage caused by the loss of Iranian oil by turning down thermostats, driving less and taking
However, Energy Secretary James Schlesinger said appeals for voluntary conservation had not worked and warned that mandatory measures might be

Carter to limit insurance plan
WASHINGTON—The Carter administration announced yesterday that it would impose its national health insurance proposal this year to a $10 billion to $15 billion.
Health, Education and Welfare Secretary Joseph A. Califano Jr., said many of the details of the plan still had to be worked out. But, he said, "phase one" would spend money primarily to insure Americans against the costs of health care and expand the eligibility and benefit provisions of Medicare and Medicaid.
Sen. Edward M. Kennedy, D-Mass, sponsor of a labor-backed comprehensive health insurance bill, said President Carter's approach was
During his campaign for the presidency, Carter promised a mandatory, comprehensive and universal system for paying everyone's health care bills.
It was Carter's refusal last summer to commit himself to establishing such a system that led to a split with Kennedy and organized labor.
Plutonium reports cited in trial
OKLAHOMA CITY—The former president of Kerr-Mecko Nuclear invasion was yesterday that there were many reports of plutonium contamination at the nuclear plant in Oklahoma City.
However, Richard Zitting, the former executive, said most of the reports involved only tiny amounts of plutonium.
Zitting testified in an $11.5 million plutonium contamination lawsuit filed in federal court by the estate of Karen Silkwood.
Sitting said he had no knowledge of Kerr-Meege spying on Silkwood before her death in an automobile accident Nov. 13, 1974.
Zitting said he neither ordered company security officer James Reading to investigate Silkwood nor knew of any investigation until Kerr-McGee employees discovered Silkwood's apartment was contaminated with plutonium Nov. 7, 1974.
Zitting said he learned that Reading had investigated Silkwood on Nov. 7 or 8 of 1974.
Attorneys previously charged the company violated Silkwood's civil rights by installing telephone wiretaps about a month before her death.
