Les Aspin, called Sunday for an investigation of safety measures used by the Army in transporting deadly nerve gas around the nation. Aspin said in a statement released by his office the Army transported nerve gas around the country on 21 separate occasions during 1974.

Aspin, a former Pentagon budget analyst, asked the General Accounting Office "to investigate the adequacy of the safety measures employed by the Army." plus, even high quality wine is unsaleable, making the label-switching worthwhile. The surplus was cuased by an over-production last year, falling sales-because of the recession-including a disastrous drop in exports to the United States-and the damage done by the bordeaux scandal. All this, the officials said, is creating strong pressure for a sale of cheap subsidized wine to Russia. The officials said France has asked the Common Market's Agricultural Management Committee to extend its export rebates on wine to exports to the Soviet Union. The French government says Russia wants the wine, but French exporters need a subsidy of about 4 cents per bottle to compete both with Soviet wines and with imported Spanish and Portugese wines.

By RICHARD C. LONGWORTH BRUSSELS (UPI)-Two new European wine scandalsa case of fraud and a controversial sale to Russiaare about to be uncorked, Common Market officials say. The officials said the fraud centers in West Germany, where the government has begun investigating alleged illegal mislabeling of French wine bottles. The Russian affair, they said, is a French request that Common Market taxpayers spend some $50 million to subsidize wine sales to Moscow. BOTH CASES result from a huge "lake" of surplus European wine, estimated at about 1.25 billion bottles worth, the sources said.

Coming as a chaser to last year's scandal involving adulterated French bordeaux, both also are expected to further damage the image of Europe's billion- Twister Includes Governor's Mansion in Its Rampage dollar wine industry. rGRflO-SHLOIFiriH her home shortly offer a twister swept through the northern section of Atlanta.

(UPI) A defense attorney was cited for contempt, another asked to be removed from the case, and one of the defendants was expelled from the courtroom yesterday at the opening of the murder trial of the "San Quentin Six." Black activist Angela Davis was among the spectators as the "Six" went on trial for the death of three guards in their attempt to break out of prison nearly six years ago.
