8 Tuesoay, June 21, 1977 £ji U.S. gives Russia 40-ton electromagnet for tests criticism of dress cited in Trudeau rift MOSCOW The United States delivered a 40-ton electromagnet to Soviet scientists yesterday for a U.S.-Soviet energy research program that could be the most significant joint scientific venture between the countries since the 1975 Apollo-Soyuz space flight The magnet. 14 feet long, arrived on a U.S. Air Force C5 cargo plane to an official reception at Moscow's Sheremetyevo airport. It was the first time the C5 Galaxy, the world's largest aircraft, had landed in the Soviet Union.

In airport ceremonies. U.S. Ambassador Malcolm Toon, speaking in Russian, called the arrival of the magnet for use in an experimental Soviet electrical generating station "a significant milestone in the history of cooperation between the United States and the Soviet Union in science and technology" "The advantage of this type of cooperation is obvious." he said "American and Soviet scientists, working together, will be able to achieve results more quickly and economically than if they pursued their programs separately." The magnet took hours to unload from the aircraft and another 1 1 2 hours to travel, on an American truck flown in for the purpose and escorted by Soviet police, to the experimental power station of Moscow's Institute of High Temperatures. The magnet, which cost $2.5 million, was produced at the U.S. Energy Research and Development Administration's Argonne laboratory near Chicago.

It is designed for a two-year. U.S.-Soviet test here of the Mag- netohydrodynamic (MHD) process of electricity generation, reputed to be nearly twice as efficient as conventional electricty production. In the process, natural gas is burned at high temperatures and forced through an electromagnetic field. This action creates electricity, which is extracted from the fast- moving gas by electrodes. The American magnet is valuable to the Russians because its "superconducting" characteristics drastically reduce the amount of electricity needed to create its magnetic field.

It creates a field more than 250.000 times stronger than the earth's magnetic field that compasses rely on. but will not disrupt outside compasses because its field is centered within the device. While conventional generating plants for electricity convert only about 35 per cent of the power theoretically available in their coal nr gas fuel into electricity. MHD plants can now be built to convert 55 per cent. The theoretical maximum percentage of conversion in MHD plants is 75 per cent.

NEW YORK (AP) After she was criticized for wearing a short dress to a formal White House dinner. Canada's Margaret Trudeau decided to retire from public life, she says in a magazine interview. The wife of Prime Minister Pierre Elliott Trudeau also says that her husband picked out the dress. "President Carter didn't frown at it and Pierre had picked out the dress to start with, not me," she told the Ladie's Home Journal in an interview in the July issue. Mrs Trudeau, who has seperated from her husband to pursue a career in photography, also says she has been faithful to Trudeau.

"I have my friends, and Pierre sometimes takes out women friends but we've drawn the line at anything else," she said. An American 40-ton magnet arrives in Moscow aboard a C5A transport plane from Chicago. It will be used for joint research experiments. (UPI Telephoto) Death scare mars Brezhnev Paris trip PARIS (AP) An assassination scare marked the opening hours Monday of Leonid I. Brezhnev's first mission abroad since he was elected president of the Soviet Union.

Soviet security officials warned their French counterparts an hour before Brezhnev's arrival in Paris of a possible attempt on his life by an assassin equipped with a rifle with telescopic sights, well-informed sources said. There was also a telephoned claim a bomb had been hidden in the Orly airport terminal, half a mile from the VIP pavillion where Brezhnev was met by President Valery Giscard d'Esta- ing. Both reports appeared to stem from hoaxers, but reinforcements were added to the 3.000 French riot police and gendarmes protecting the motorcade route to the Chateau of Rambouillet. 30 miles from the city, as well as the chateau and its vast park. Police searched and sometimes manned buildings along the route and banned all demonstrations in Paris, a ban immediately denounced by extreme rightists.

Officials said the security turnout was the greatest since world heads of state came here in 1970 for the funeral of Gen. Charles de Gaulle. Brezhnev, who has kept his powerful post as secretary of the Communist party, told President Valery Giscard d'Estaing they would have to "work a lot. and work seriously" but that he was certain the result would be "useful for a new development of friendship between our nations and for the reinforcement of universal peace." Impressive protocol started at the French frontier when jet fighters of a historic squadron which fought as allies with the Soviet Air Force in World War II formed up to escort Brezhnev's plane to Paris. In an unusual gesture, more of the squadron's Mirage jets were lined up with an honor guard from the three services at Orly airport.

RHODES BAKER ST. (near Bernard) though Brezhnev was not to see them. In a welcoming speech. Giscard d'Estaing spoke of Brezhnev's "personal engagement to detente and the importance you give it in the orientation of Soviet policy." "Alone in Europe, France and the Soviet Union can give detente its seal of authenticity," Giscard ing said. Brezhnev replied he was "sure" that the prime subject of their three meetings, two in private, would be given to "the most acute problem of our time, that of detente and the guarantee of the security of the peoples." Erezhnev was nied by a large delegation including Foreign Minister Andrei A.

Gromyko. and Foreign Trade Minister Nicolai Patolichev. A new trade agreement is to be one of the major achievements of the visit. Giscard d'Estaing accompanied Brezhnev in the motorcade to Rambouillet and to his suite in the chateau, where two of the Soviet leader's bodyguards will be posted overnight outside his bedroom door. Giscard d'Estaing returned to Paris and two hours later went back to the chateau for the first round of talks.
