In a recent report to President Richard Nixon, five of the seven groups participating In its writing urged that the test be called off. Among their reasons for opposition to the^test were: the probability of massive earthquakes and UU1 waves; destruction and radioactive contamination of sea life, human lire and Und; possible Injury to the structural balance within the earth's crust, and the fact that the blast Is to serve as the Spartan missile warhead, which has already been officially declared obsoli However, the two groups favoring the test, am. Energy Commission, have thus far prevailed. The final decision the matter rests with the president. The Canadian CoallUon to Stop the AtiRhltka Nuclear Blast, an organization of Canadian religious, environmental, political and media representaUves, has appealed to Nixon for "statesmanship that seeks other alternatives for national security that do not endanger the world and Its people.* We Join In their appeal.
