Atomic Waste on
f*!**!* Adds Hazard
To Boston Fire
BOSTON, l/PI — Fire yesterday
set off three explosions amidst
stored drums of metallic waste on
an open pier a*tout 200 ieet from
radio-active atomic waste.
There were fears, at first, the
blast had scattered radioactive
material.
However, tests by atomic ener
gy experts, Coast Guardsmen and
state public health officials later
proved negative.
One fireman was injured when
tossed 75 feet into the air and
landed on the burning debris and
scattered drums containing a me
tallic element identified as zirco
nium.
Acting Fire Chief William Ter
renzi called for geiger counters
after he learned the blaze was at
a pier used for atomic waste dis
posal at sea.
His call brought members of the
Massachusetts Atomic Energy
Commission, a state emergency
atomic team, geiger counter
equipped Coast Guardsmen and
State Health Department officials.
Zirconium is used for coating
tubes and wires.
Howofer, they presented no
fallout danger, Terrenzi said, ex
cept that the substance is highly
volatile.
The radioactive material, stored
on the pier, is encased in thick
concrete casks.
The flames destroyed about 200
feet of the wooden pier which ex
tends about 5,000 feet into Bos
ton’s inner harbor.
The fire was controlled after
more than an hour.

Red Trawler Acts Fishy,
Says Grand Banks Skipper
BOSTON, (jW — A fishing cap
tain reported yesterday a Soviet
trawler was acting strangely Mon
day on Georges Bank, 160 miles
east-southeast of Boston Light
ship.
Capt. John Cahill of Somerville,
skipper of the trawler Comet, a
veteran of 30 years fishing on the
North Alantic, told a Boston
Globe reporter: “Those Russians
may have been fishing but they
were acting strangely to me.”
Cahill said that in his three
decades of fishing Georges and
Grand Banks he never had seen a
Canadian or a New England ves
sel trying to fish with a seine in
a strong tide while anchored.
Cahill estimated the Soviet ves
sel as about 1,000 tons, about five
times as large as trawlers of the
Boston fishing fleet.
Antarctic Treaty Passes
U. S. Senate, 6H-21
WASHINGTON, UP* — The Sen
ate today ratified the Antarctic
Treaty with Soviet Russia and 10
other nations. The vote was 66-21.
The treaty dedicates Antarctica
to peaceful scientific purposes and
provides for a system of interna
tional inspection to see that its
terms are not violated.
It is the first time the Soviets
have committed themselves to any
international inspection system.
Although a comfortable two
thirds lajority was given ratifi
cation in the Senate’s vote, there
had been doubts the treaty would
be approved.
Some influential Senators op
posed ratification.
Chairman Richard E. Russell
(D-Ga) of the Armed Services
Committee, in a protest against
it, said recognition of Soviet pres
ence in the Antarctic posed “a
grave and direct” threat to na
tional security.
“I don’t trust Russia as far as
I could push this capitol,” Rus
sell said.
On an earlier test, the treaty
received less than two-thirds
backing.
