expects to receive full pipeiine information soon ANCHORAGE, Alaska (AP)interior Secretary Hickel Tuesday night he expects to receive a new application for construction of an Alaska oil pipeline shortly with the aim of beginning construction in late fall or early spring. Hickel, in remarks a banquet in his honor, said "We are going to lick the problems connected with this monumental project," the Trans Alaska Pipeline System. The proposed 800-mile, J900 million pipeline is designed to carry crude oil from Prudhoe Bay on Alaska's North Slope to the ice-free port of Valdez on the Gulf of Alaska. The pipeline has been the target of intense criticism from conservationists who have expressed fear it would upset arctic ecology. "This time, 1 expect that the permit request will be accompanied by all the data we must have data to show that the line will be constructed safely and with proper environmental safeguards," Hickel said.

The interior secretary, a form- er Alaska governor, said the pipeline will be constructed in a manner that will set "a standard going on in the rest of the nation." "1 see the TAPS pipeline as a turning point in modern development," he said. Hickel said he was "happy" the eight oil companies composing TAPS had formed a new corporation, called Alaska Oil Pipeline Service to replace the previous loose "committee" arrangement. He stressed that "unlike the booms and the gold rushes of the past, the development of the north will be done responsibly." Hickel just completed a four- day tour of the Canadian and Alaskan arctic regions with Jean Chretien, Canadian minister of Indian Affairs and Northern Development. "Hidden beneath the frozen ground, and covered by a seal of ice, lies a treasure chest of resources," Hickel said.

Gas warfare treaty ratification asked WASHINGTON (AP) President Nixon asked the Senate today to ratify a 45-year-old treaty banning gcs warfare, with the understanding that it does not outlaw tear gas or defoliants. "Today there are 85 parties, including all other major powers, to this fcsic international agreement which the United States proposed and signed in 1925," Nixon said in a message to the Senate. "The United States always has observed the principles and objectives of this protocol," Nixon said.

"1 consider it essential that the United States now become a party to this protocol." Senate ratification is needed to put the treaty fully into effect. Smoke, flame and napalm also would not be covered by the protocol, or treaty, as interpreted by the Nixon administration in asking Senate approval of the pact. Sen. George D. Aiken of Vermont, senior Republican on the Foreign Relations Committee, predicted smooth sailing for the 1925 Geneva treaty in the Senate because of Nixon's interpretations allowing use of such chemicals as tear gas and herbicides.

Defoliants and tear g.s have been used by allied forces in the Vietnam war. The U.N. General Assembly has asserted that the protocol.does bi.n the two items. It was because of an inside- the administration argument over this issue, it was said, that Nixon delayed submitting the treaty to the Senate after first Murkowski hits plan of Lewis on Indochina Frank H. Murkowski said today he understood his opponent for the Republican nomination for U.

Officials said they were studying the note to determine whether it is authentic. The earlier notes hud set a deadline of noon Tuesday for the prisoners' release. None of the messages mentioned the guerrillas' other hostage, Claude L. Fly of Fort Collins, an agricultural adviser to the Uruguayan government. The police also were studying another letter received Tuesday which purported to come from the Brazilian Death Squad, the secret vigilante organization of Brazilian policemen which specializes in murdering petty criminals and hoodlums.

The letter said the Death Squad would kill 20 relatives of Tupa- maro guerrillas to avenge Mitr- tone's death and would kill 20 more for each additional hostage the guerrillas kill. Local police continued their search of tunnels and sewers in Montevideo for guerrilla hideouts and announced that five students and two university instructors had been arrested on suspicion of being connected with the Tuptmaros. This brought to 8 the number of suspects detained since troops and policemen began the biggest manhunt in Uruguayan history days ago. does-certainly not President Nixon nor the Republican Party."

The President's brief message to the Senate was accompanied by a report by Secretary of State William P. Rogers which set forth the U.S.

stand on the treaty. Rogers said that while the treaty itself "speaks in terms of flat prohibitions on the use of chemical and bacteriological agents in war," actually 39 nations--including the Soviet Union, Britain and France--have included reservations when they ratified. "The United States considers that the term 'bacteriological methods of warfare' as used in the protocol encompasses all biological methods of warfare and the use of toxics in warfare however produced," Rogers said. "It is the United States' understanding of the protocol that it does not prohibit the use in war of riot-control agents and chemical herbicides. Smoke, flame, and napalm are also not covered by the protocol." The administration proposal also asked the Senate to adopt a reservation saying that if the United States is attacked by poison gases, it will have the right to strike with similar weapons.

Nixon pledged that the United States will seek further agreement on effective disarmament measures in germ and chemical warfare.

They will be guests of a specialist on duty and given a tour of the modem facility. The Fairbanks Flight Service Station can be reached by turning left onto an access road just before passing the Airview Motel on Airport Way coming from town.

The building is not visible from Airport Way but can be seen from the interior of the airport terminal. A total of 34 night service stations are maintained in the state by the Federal Aviation Administration. In recognition of the past 50 years of service from the stations, President Nixon sent a cable to all flight service stations, commending them for their service to the American flying public. "During the fast moving half-century of their history, these stations have brilliantly kept pace with the progress of our society. Today they comprise an indispensable and sophisticated communications system that offen the pilot instant access to whatever Information he may need," the cable read.

Environment is the official title of the conference, where subjects ranging from soils testing to public health programs are being i attacked and considered. A second public seminar comprised of members of the scientific community is being held tonight at 8 p.m. at the Fairbanks Inn in hopes of attracting Fairbanks residents who would like to discuss scientific and environmental issues with a panel of scientists attending the science conference. Victor Fischer, director of the Institute of Social, Economic Government and Research, has been added to the list of physical and social scientists who will field questions from the public. Concern over existing public health and education programs has been voiced throughout the last two days of the conference.

During the opening session of the three-day affair, Dr. Paul Comely, president of the A i a Public Health Association and a professor at Howard University, charged that the present emphasis on the cure of medical ailments precludes a i a i of preventative possibilities. "There is too much emphasis on cure," Comely stated. "This emphasis on the last inch of the yardstick of life is equal to a malignant neglect of prevention." Comely suggested that health should be made a public i i i for both government and private sector. "The Food and Drug Administration is protecting industry at the expense of the consumer i the mine operators are being protected at the expense of the miner," Cornely charged.

Blodgett asks for report Natives who miss school State Sen. Robert Blodgett, D-Teller, asked today that anyone hearing of Native students not being able to attend high school because space is not available to contact him. Blodgett said he was making the request after hearing that 28 students at Barrow could not attend high school because there was no space for them. He said the State Department of Education assured him there was space for the Barrow students. The Department of Education has assured him, he continued, that every high school student bom rural Alaska has been placed.

If there are some who have not, they should notify him said. Blodgett, campaigning for reelection from his district, said he believes in the concept of regional high schools with dormitory facilities including house He said he favored this method over the practice of boarding students in private homes where far too often they are used simply as a source of revenue and baby sitters. Senate votes not to halt expansion WASHINGTON (AP)--The Senate today refused, for the third time in a week, to stop expansion of the Safeguard anti-missile system. The rejection came on defeat of a compromise amendment to the $19.2 billion military procurement authorization bill. The amendment, offered by Sen.

Edward W. Brooke, R- would have eliminated Safeguard sites planned for Whiteman Air Force Base, and Warren Air Force Base, Wyo. Defeat of the amendment cleared the last major legislative road block from the deployment of the controversial system to the two new sites. Safeguard has been billed throughout the debate both as a vital defense of America's war- deterring missile force and as a key bargaining chip in arms control talks with Russia. The vote came after Secretary of Defense Metoin R.

Laird announced the Pentagon could neither support nor accept the compromise amendment offered by Brooke. Brooke's amendment would have allowed the Pentagon to use the $322 million saved to beef up antimissile defenses at the two sites authorized last year--Malmstrom Air Force Base, and Grand Forks Air Force Base, N.D. WASHINGTON (AP) The Senate, spurning President Nixon's economy plea and overriding his veto, has voted into law a $4.4 billion appropriation for federal aid to education. But it will take some political dexterity to fashion a Republican campaign issue of the 77-16 to the amendment sponsored by Sen. Edward Brooke, Laird said in a letter read to the Senate by Chairman John Stennis of the Armed Services Committee.

Laird said the amendment would cost an additional 5500 million, fail to protect sufficient numbers of strategic bombers, and cause "an unacceptable delay" in providing defenses for U.S. missiles. Last week, Brooke and other supporters of the compromise move said they had "evidence" from inside the White House and Pentagon, that the admi.iis- tratiou could "live comfortably" with the Brooke amendment. Education bill veto overridden Brooke offered his amendment as a "reasonable and logical compromise" to others re-- jected last week which would either have completely stopped Safeguard or barred spending any mo.iey other than the $1.027 billion earmarked for construction work on the first two sites. The actual funds to expand Safeguard must still be considered in an appropriations bill with approval considered likely.

"The Department of Defense cannot support and is opposed" "We can't just go on hospitalizing people," Comely stated. "Our hospitals are too crowded and expense is too high." Comely mentioned a need for the development of consumer education, charging that the news i a a i a population through advertising. "We need to develop the necessary political strategy for a strong health lobby for all people, Comely stated, suggesting an alliance between scientists and the consumers. "Finally, each of us must have a strong commitment to the improvement of the quality of life of every individual," Comely concluded, "We cannot afford to have our people traumatized because of our lack of commitment. We must raise our voices and try to change the environmental situation." In a morning session yesterday, Mary Jane Fate of the Fairbanks Native Association delivered an address on the problems of Native health programs.

"You must work with the people," Mrs. Fate said, suggesting that public health workers should "enhance the Native culture rather than degrade it by bringing Natives i surroundings to 'educate' them." "Remember that Natives must live within their environment," she continued. "We don't fight our environment, we live with it." Mrs. Fate stated that in compatison with other aboriginal Americans, Alaskan Natives are extremely well-organized and dedicated. Labor pains foil hijack TOKYO (AP) Because a woman complained of labor pains, police foiled the hijacking of a Japanese airliner todi.y.

Officials said police sneaked aboard the Boeing 727 at the Ha- mamatsu air base during the confusion after the woman said she was about to give birth. The police tackled the hijacker from behind and found he was armed with a toy pistol, the officials said. The All Nippon Airways plane had taken off from Nagoya bound for Sapporo with 81 persons aboard. Shortly after, a slim Japanese man about 25 years old pulled what appeared to be a pistol on the pilot and ordered him to land at Hamamat- su, 125 miles southwest of Tokyo. The landing was made safely and about 50 passengers were allowed to get off the plane almost immediately.

Polish hijacking ROENNE, Denmark, (AP) Five poles today hijacked a Polish Airlines flight with 17 other passengers and five crewmen aboard and forced it to land on Denmark's Baltic island of Botnhold, police said. It had been on a domestic flight. "Danski, Danski (Danish)" they exclaimed and immediately began shouting, "asylum, asylum." vote. Twenty-three Republicans voted to override the President. Not one of the 16 Republicans who voted to sustain the veto is running for a new term this year.

The Senate roll call Tuesday- was 15 votes over the two-thirds majority required to overturn a veto. The House already had voted, 289-114, to override the veto, and 77 Republicans voted against the President there. Thus Republican votes were crucial in supplying the margins by which Nixon's veto was overridden on both sides of the Capitol. Administration officials already have said they anticipate congressional campaign benefits for Republicans on the issue of government spending, which Nixon repeatedly has raised against the Democratic-controlled Congress. With such a spending complaint, Nixon vetoed the education bill because it is $453 million over his budget, and an $18 billion appropriation for housing, veterans benefits, space and other agencies.

The latter veto was sustained in the House, and Congress will have to draft a new bill. "Think 111 go out that meetin with scientists, maybe 1 kin find out how to improve the output of mah still.".
