Coast Guard Trains Unit To Protect Pittsburgh By WILLIAM MAUSTELLER A small-scale "war" was fought for five hours yesterday at waterfront facilities on the Ohio River. There were no sounds of battle, no clattering of small arms fire, no explosions of grenades or artillery rounds. The only casualties reported so far in this bloodless campaign were a puffing and perspiring reporter-photographer team which finished last in a Rock 'n roll guitarist Wil liam L.

"but by next spring, we hope to have an even more realistic and efficient operation."

But to the 100 enlisted men and 10 officers of the Coast Guard Reserve Training Unit 02430, Pittsburgh, and the 84 enlisted men and nine officers of unit 02-458, McKeesport, this "game" was not something to be taken lightly.

Commander Nicholsen said an evaluation of the "war" showed there was no winner and no loser.

"The purpose of the maneuver was to find out how good the defenders were," he said, "and the results showed that in some cases they were excellent." "We also found a few weaknesses, for some of the saboteurs hit some Important facilities, but that will be corrected by the next time."

Supreme Court takes the case under review this fall, cities from coast to coast will have a stake in the marathon damage suit.

If the high court rules that planes flying tn and out of Greater Pittsburgh Airport committed a "trespass" as they flew above the lawyer's former home, lt could have sweeping repercussions at virtually all airports. For this reason, Allegheny County has been "befriended" by several other cities faced with similar damage claims. The Port of Seattle, operator of the Seattle-Tacoma International Airport, last week notified County Solicitor Maurice Louik that it wants to be made a party to the Supreme Court proceedings. If the high tribunal sup ports Attorney Griggs' claim against the County, the West Coast air terminal is In trou ble. Two hundred property owners residing on the fringes of the Seattle-Tacoma Airport have filed damage claims against the Port of Seattle.

Denver also is faced with damage suits filed by property owners who object to noise caused by jet airliners. Memphis is confronted with similar cases and has asked the County to keep it posted on developments in the Griggs case. The New York Port Authority, the country's largest operator of airports, is watching the test case and the Federal Aviation Agency, boss of the nation's airways, has asked for copies of every legal paper filed by Mr. Griggs and the County. The County has denied any responsibility for "nuisances" created by planes landing and departing at Its big Moon Twp.

field. It has suggested that Mr. Griggs' ought to sue owners of planes which committed the alleged "trespasses." The County's position was sustained last January by the State Supreme Court. It was the fifth time the case has been before that tribunal. In appealing to the U.

S. Supreme Court, Mr. Griggs labeled the State high court's decision as "specious." He said "the suggested relief (of suing the aircraft owners) Is illusory," pointing out that it would be impossible for anyone to keep tabs on planes that he said made his life so miserable that he was forced to move from his estate. He said planes operated only 12 feet above the roof of his house and that the noise "was comparable to that of a riveting machine, steam hammer or factory." Attorney Griggs, a former president of the Allegheny County Bar insists that the trespass of planes over his home constituted an "illegal seizure" of his property. During the upcoming arguments before the U.

S. Supreme Court, he'll protest that he has been deprived of his constitutional rights.

The school for this training is a mobile trailer which tours Naval Reserve Centers throughout the country.

This week end the unit is at the Naval Reserve Cen-ter, Neville Island. And the equipment consists of modern electric detection equipment and a rag tag uniform composed of white coveralls, rubber boots, a respirator, goggles, gloves, surgical cap and miles of masking tape to seal all the uniform openings. The next step is to find the radiation. "If you know where it is, you can control it," Chief Sherrod said. "The cemetery is not the ultimate answer." "The two most dangerous things in an attack are the blast Itself and the thermal effects.

They are deadly and there is no protection." "But," he added, "if you sur vive the first two minutes, you have a chance." Chief Sherrod pointed out that there is a defense against this fallout and that defense is known to everyone. It is soap and water. "Decontaminating a person of radioactive particles is just like washing off dirt," he said. Classes In delecting and decontaminating technique will end today, but Chief Sherrod said the mobile unit will return to Pittsburgh in the future to complete all phases of the training program.

The net was pierced a few times as the sabotage crew from Wheeling struck at objectives all along the Island Including the Coast Guard Depot at Sewlckley. Agents In civilian clothes, fake officers with false identification cards, disguised workers wearing construction helmets, and even "fishermen" out for a little relaxation tried to infiltrate the defenses at barge lines on Neville Island, at oil facilities on the island, at the railroad bridge between the Island and the river and at two water intakes for industrial plants. Two tin-hatted "construction workers" tape-measured their way past some defenders before the guards began to wonder why anyone would want to measure some railroad tracks. They were captured, but not until they had managed to toss a few "bombs" around and doff caps to Cmdr.

L. L. Nicholson, III, of the 2nd Coast Guard District. Everyone on the riser was a suspected saboteur. During a break In the maneuvers, Commander Mcholsen said, the training was held here because "Pittsburgh is one of the most Important ports to protect In time of war." "In the event of enemy attack, there would be no regular port security unit in Pittsburgh," he said, "and this unit would have to be mobilized." "For that reason, we are training them in the functions they would have to perform." He emphasized that there are 200 port security units in the country, and that plans have been in the making since April to train these men for active duty in case of emergency.

"Our initial attempt has exceeded expectations," he said, Fallout Shelters To Be Discussed Constuction of bomb and fallout shelters and the materials that go into them will be among the topics for discussion Tuesday night as the Concrete Block Assn. of Western Pennsylvania resumes its fall meetings.
