Evccuoqg may return to homes this week Concluded from Fog IB DETROIT AP) A toxic waste dump in Macomb County bu not received the attention paid to chemical dumps etaewhere Michigan, but a state official says it may be one of the more hazardous sites in the state. The Industrial Landfill in Shelby Township about 20 miles north of Detroit received as much as 600,000 gallons of waste oil and sludges per month from Detroit-area industries between US5 and 1887. CONCERN ABOUT groundwater contamination stems from the 40-acre site's lack of a clay lining or other protective layers now required of all landfills.

must finish digging out the lagoon, which was about half excavated Sunday night, and then fill it with clean soil and grade it, he said. State officials had believed that cyanide and hydrochloric acid were buried in sludge in the lagoon that is being excavated, and they thought the chemicals might mix to form deadly hydrogen cyanide gas. cials say is helping to speed up the court-ordered cleanup. "It's turning into a much easier operation than we anticipated," the DNR's James truchan, who is overseeing the cleanup, said Sunday. Truchan estimated that the entire project will be finished in less than three weeks.

Workers touted RJew scope's capabilities highly Much of it is computer-driven electronic instrumentation used to read the results of the microscopes exploration. The superscope itself is a cylindrical instrument with appendages Jutting in all directions. It has two cameras hooked to its probe and can produce multi-colored atomic images on a screen across the room in the Physics Astronomy Build- companies like Ford value the instru Conducted from Page-IB Ford Motor Company has already spent three days on the scope which was installed in February, Soto said. "When you want to understand any material the first thing you want to know is what the atoms are and where the" atoms are," said Solin. "This microscope tells you that in very fine detail." THE SCANNING feature of the scope allows it to latch onto a cluster of atoms in a similar manner to the way which an observer can pick out a face in a huge crowd of people.

It reads the matter by shooting electrons through the specimen and determine the density of the atoms at particular points. It can sweep across the specimen surface within seconds and produce computer-assembled images for later review. The ability comes from a wall-sized bank of electronic modules daunting in their complexity. point with a 40 billionths of an Inch lip which allows it to produce images of atomic clusters only a few angstroms in size. An angstrom is about four billionths of an inch.

The tip shoots electrons through a specimen, measures the secondary electrons which are knocked off the surface of the specimen and in that way can determine- the arrangement and type of matter being examined. In contrast, a light microscope bounces light rays off a specimen to examine its properties. The advantage of the use of electrons is their smaller size allows finer detail to be observed and analyzed, Solin said. THROUGH OPERATING fees and grant money, the scope will likely attract considerable dollars to MSU, but Solin said it will take years to pay for itself. During that time, Solin said he will enjoy peering into the innards of matter with his electronic eye.

ment for Its analytical ability, Solin wants to do fundamental research into the structure and composition of layered materials such as graphite as well as crystalline structures. HE EXPECTS university researchers to have second priority to its use, followed by outside researchers from Michigan firms and universities. The scope is the only one of its kind in the world, he said. However, there are six similar ones here in the states and about fifteen others worldwide.

"There's an awful lot of details that I guess I knew subconsciously existed. Now comes the task of learning to do it." Ryan, speaker from 1969 to 1975, was one of the most respected members of the House during his 12 terms. His reputation as a master of compromise and key negotiator for the Democrats came without pomposity, arm-twisting or div- By NANCY BENAC Associated Preis Writer Bill' Ryan cleaned out his Capitol office in December, certain it was "the right time" to move on after 24 years in the state House. Three months later he's back in training to take over as House clerk when Thomas Husband leaves Friday for private business. "I never would've dreamed that I would end up here," said Ryan, a former speaker of the House.

"I guess I should team my lesson and not predict the future." RYAN, WHO'S been spending April learning the ropes of the often-complex job, conceded while tinkering with an uncooperative copy machine last week that there's plenty to be learned. "Twenty-five years of watching didn't prepare me for one day of doing," the 63-year-old Detroit Demo of issues," Busch said. "I think he's fair." The clerk's job also includes sion of about 30 House employees who keep track of legislation and House activity. BUT KEEPING House sessions running smoothly and handling the complex $165,000 electronic voting system is the hardest part, according to current clerk Husband. "It is extremely confusing," Husband said.

"It's like trying to learn to fly an airplane by reading a book. Sooner or later you have to get in the plane." Ryan said he agreed to take the job because House Speaker Gary Owen of Ypsilanti wanted a former speaker in the post. The only other available ex-speaker, just-retired Rep. Bobby Crim, couldn't step in, so the request came to Ryan. By HUGH LEACH Staff Writer MASON The Ingham outcounty area appears to have been hit as hard, if not harder, than Lansing by the recession.

Seventy-six percent of rural residents receiving Aid to Families with Dependent Children were not getting it two years ago, said Paul Mendelsohn, chairman of Rural Emergency Outreach, an organization formed to aid those in need of assistance. But AFDC and General Assistance don't meet the needs by themselves, Mendelsohn added. The AFDC standard for a family of four is an income of $5,904, which is $4,000 below what has been determined as the poverty level for a non-farm family of the same size. REO SAYS it conservatively estimates that 800 Ingham County adults living outside Lansing and East Lansing plus their children have needs that are not being met Of these, REO said, 1,300 are registered with the Michigan Employment Security Commission as being unemployed and seeking jobs and who have no lcnown means of support Another 200 are looking for jobs, but are not REO believes another 3,700 are underemployed and bringing in wages that are insufficient for their needs. The final 1,500 are senior citizens with incomes below the poverty line.

"We really just got started in March," Mendelsohn said, "and we served 203 families that month." BECAUSE OF federal and state standards for qualifying for aid, he added, people are often forced to liquidate their assets "and liquidate their egos at the same time." The stress this brings on often leads to alcoholism, divorces and violence, added REO member Gene Goodman. By helping people who need it, he added, REO is hoping to get these people through the tough times until they can get back on their feet. Food, clothing and furniture banks have been set up to help out but the furniture bank operated by Mason Ecumenical Refugee Community Involvement Inc. has almost no furniture available. Goodman, president of MERCI, said anyone who has good, serviceable furniture they might want to donate may call 676-1065 and arrange to bring it in or have it picked up.

Ryan said his new job will require "consistency and objectivity" as he rules on the parliamentary procedure of the chamber. "SHADING A decision one way or the other is a good way to get in trouble," Ryan said. "It's just a question of having a job to do and doing it" House Republican Leader Rep. Michael Busch of Saginaw said Ryan probably will get a unanimous confirmation vote. "I've worked with Bill on a number REO seeks clinic for rural poor Deaths and Funerals TEFFT, REV.

Nelson said, people who may need more than one service could be immediately referred to someone who can help. Neither the medical center nor the multi-purpose center is intended to replace services already set up in various communities, he added. Stockbridge, for instance, has two nurses who work with people during food bank days.

They will continue to do what they can for people, but in some cases they may need to refer people to the clinic for tests or treatment The multi-purpose center could let people know what services are available to them in their own communities so they would not have to come to Mason for them. Conducted from Rbq9 1 that time to determine if it should be continued next year. i The human services committee of the Ingham Board of Commissioners unanimously recommended funding the program, but the finance 'committee has deferred action until it gets more information about the program. "Rural needs are different from those in the urban area," said Jean McDonald, chairman of the human services committee. "Poverty is more hidden outside the city.

Rural people often don't know what services are available to them. We could have people coming out of the woodwork to get services once they know they are available."

FCC rejects protests, OKs sale of WILX station from a conglomerate called Figgie International, for $20.5 million. That was slowed, however, when two groups protested a clause that mentioned moving the station from Jackson to Lansing. One protest came from the Jackson City Council, the other from Lansing station WFSL (Channel 47). But the FCC said the sale doesn't have to be affected by the question of location. That can be argued later, it said, if Adams asks permission to move.

"That's fine with us," said Tom Jones, general manager of WFSL. "We just wanted this on record, so they wouldn't say we hadn't objected." The sale of TV station WILX I Channel 10) has been approved by the Federal Communications Commission. i The FCC recently rejected two protests about the sale. That means it can be completed in June, unless other motions are filed. STEPHEN ADAMS of Minneapolis has agreed to buy the BAUERLE, HARLAN 301W.Gier Died April 24, 1983.
