Official: nuclear threat ends

Harrisburg, Pa.-Gov. Dick Thomburgli

"immediate catastrophe" in the nation s
most serious nuclear accident, but author,

"The threat of any immediate catastro

up to the long-term consequences of this
event-we have serious public health pro
blems, environmental problems and
economic problems to grapple with.
The governor continued his advisory
that pregnant women and young children
stay at least five miles from Three Mile
Island, and federal officials say there
remains the slight risk of trouble.
Meanwhile, there were reports that last
Wednesday's accident may have been the
result of human error and that the cleanup
may take several years and cost up ttf $40
million.
The Chicago Tribune said the break
down has been traced to a backup cooling
system valve that was inadvertantly left
closed several days before the accident.

New York-New studies in 21 countries
show that the death rate of women from
heart disease has actually declined rather
than risen in recent years as had been ex
pected because of the use of birth control
pills.
The reports issues Tuesday said the new
findings challenge previous conclusions of
British studies that said women who use
oral contraceptives are about four times
more likely to die of cardiovascular disease.
"Analysis of U.S. mortality statistics
shows that since adoption of the pill,
deaths among women of reproductive age
from cardiovascular diseases have declined
much more rapidly than have death rates
of comparable men. This suggests that the
high level of risk of death from such
diseases associated with pill use in other
studies are exaggerated" said Dr. Christ
opher Tietze, who wrote one of the reports.
