Pact 6 GREELEY TRIBUNE Sept. 11,1969 Rulison Blast Completed, Hole Sealed Until Spring CORDON C. GAUSS Prmt Writer GRAND VALLEY, Colo. (AP) --An underground nuclear explo sion jarred Wednesday western Colorado afternoon, bu whether it shook a billion dollars worth of natural gas from rocks won't be known until spring. No radioactivity was releasec Into the atmosphere, the Atomic Energy Commission after the blast.

Newsmen visited the detonation site within 90 minutes after the blast: and found geigcr counters registering only background radiation levels. The explosion, named Project Rulison for a long-vanished vil lage, was part of the govern, ment's Plowshare program to find peaceful uses for atomic energy. The S6.5 million blast--the equivalent in force lo 40,000 tons of -TNT--was touched off to determine whether underground fission can free gas In commercial volume from sandstone. The AEC and Austral Oil Co. of Houston, the sponsors, are hoping for release of 60 billion cubic feet of gas by the blast, 8,442 feet below Battlement Mesa.

Hole Closid They promised federal courts they would not open Ihe hole for six months lo investigate, allowing short-lived radioactive isotopes time lo decay. If successful, the project will lead to additional experiments seeking lo unlock 317 trillion cubic feet of gas in western states. After six days of wealhei caused delay because winds fused tb blow from Ihe north west, the blast went off at th scheduled hour Wednesday, p.m., despite about 00 objector who marched into the observa tion tent while pre-detonalio ceremonies- were in progress, The moslly fron the report community of Aspci and tlif town of Cedaredge, sai KEASLINO "'V We wfalKJp express our lienrt- felt. lo our TrfGndu fcxpreBSRil thclv in go'many Itind nnd thouR.it.- our i i oC sorroy.

Minutes before the shot, a man and a woman companion were picked up by a patrolling Ai Force helicopter three mile Atomic from the blast site, after smoke reported bombs were seen over a ridge from ground zero.

The ground at the observation site, six miles from the blast surged upward enough to sliakt spectators when the blast wen off, then jiggled for several sec onds. Dust clouds rose along the crest of the mountains for miles or more. One big clone minted lo a landslide high up on one mountain. Only a few rocks tumblec down on highways which hac Men blockaded to prevent anj nishaps. A few bricks were knocked chimneys in evacuated houses near the blast and in Grand Val ey and Rifle, Ihe closest towns, "ieveral bricks fell from an ok cornice on the Grand Valley Post Office.

The blast was felt in Grant Junction, 40 miles southwest, bui 10 damage was reported. Ever urtlier west, a shopkeeper al Colorado Nalional Monumenl said cans were shaken from a The blast was felt in Glen- vood Springs to the east, bul of Dillon near Ihe Con- inental Divide, said they felt lothing. Aspen residents also snid (here was no shock. One Denvcrite advised Gov. John Love's office, however, thai she felt the jar.

Colorado School of Mines al Golden recorded Ihe blasi tin a seismograph and listed it at 5.5 on the Richter scale of earthquake intensity. A spokesman for the project manager, CER Geonuclear Corp. of Las Vegas, said the blast went about as scheduled. This means a spherical cavity ICO feel in diameter should have been opened when rocks were Dorized by temperatures as hot liot.as some stars. As the cavity begins to cool, molten rock should have run lown the sides and formed a glass al the bottom, trapping most of Ihe radioactive materials including stronlium-90, krypton-03 and cesion-138.

Crcatei Chimney Cracks or fissures arc believed lo have opened around the cavity for a distance of about 300 feet on cacli side and rocks from the top of the cavity broke off and fell into it, creating circular chimney more than 500 feet high. Austral Oil officials promised Iliat only "safe" gas will be removed from the hole when it is opened bul haven't said exactly how they propose to cleanse (he radioactivity from it. Al Projecl Gasbuggy in northern New Mexico, the gas was burned in the open. Protestors say they will fight any similar for Rulison in courts. Court actions against Rulison by the American Civil Liberties Union and Colorado Open Space Coordinating Council stressed the danger of opening the blast bole.

The Colorado Council on Environmental Information has called release of the contaminated gas by burning in the open VETTER MORTUARY Fort Lupton, Colp. BURGE Edith A. Burge. 323 Harrison, Forl Lupton, at Loug- mont. of Mrs.

Funeral arrangements lars more than the amount provided by the state last year. This increase Is a result of the State Foundation Act passed'by the Colorado Legislature during the 1969 session. The board approved compliance with the act on June 11 of this year. The Foundation Act also eliminated county school properly tax levies which accounted for $880,577 in the 1969 budget. Also eliminated by the Act was the State properly tax relief funds which provided $580,125 to the district for the 1969 budget.

Mill Reduction The increased amount from State funds would allow 'an estimated reduction in the mil! levy of three mills. The 1969 budget used a levy of 53.26 mills (42.80 from district levies and 10.46 from county levies) while the 1970 preliminary budget was based on a levy of 50.26 mills-a reduction of three mills. The adjustments hi the levies would bring the estimated total levy to 63.09 mills. The seven assumptions used in drafting the preliminary budget were as follows: --That the assessed valuation on which taxes will be collected in 1970 will be $72,000,000. --That the average daily mem- jership from Sept.

Four other planes, which carried Vice President Spiro Agnew, 111. Sen. Charles H. Percy and a host of Cabinet members and congressional leaders, followed the presidential jet. Accompanying Dirksen's body was his widow, Louella, his daughter, Denice, and her husband, Sen.

Howard 'Baker, a Tennessee Republican, and Dirksen's grandchildren, Derek, 16, and Cynthia, 13. The Rev. Edward L. R.

Richard B. Ogilvie awaited the casket on -the airstrip and several hundred others watched from a further distance. More than 40 senators were among the honorary pallbearers and official mourners. The route to the cemetery fol- owed winding rural roads through cornfield and scattered residences.

Wall Street NEW YORK (AP) Most stocks, paced by declining oil issues, linished down today, thus ending Hie rparket's to day The Dow Jones industrial average closed off 2.24 at 825.77 after climbing to 832.43 in active morning trading. One analyst a a summed up the feeling of many investors: "All our good news is- gone now." Analysts had said earlier that investors apparently clung to the hope that a cease-fire, declared by.

North Vietnam in observance of Ho Chi Minh's death, would continue, but that appeared "out the window now" another broker said. Also cited as a strong incentive was Federal Reserve Chairman William McChesney Martin's statement that there "are indications we may be getting to the end of very high interest rates." Declines, slumping behind gains by a 3-to-l margin in early trading today, closed out ahead. Of 1,564 stocks traded, G80 declined, and 604 advanced. Some 12.37 million shares exchanged hands, compared with 11.4 million Wednesday, which had been the best volume since Aug. 19.

Oils accounted for half of the 20 most-active stocks with 9 of them losing. Only Amerada Hess, a big bidder in Wednesday's auction of $900 million worth of Alaska's oil-laden Norlh Slope, finished ahead. The Associated Press 60-stock average finished off 1.1 at 289.1, with industrials off 2.6, rails off .3, and utilities unchanged. The New York Stock Exchange index was off 0.34 al 52.15. There were 20 new highs for the year and 73 new lows.
