(AP Jaochim Bass, it is business Laser photo) IRVING, Texas (AP) Tests of dioxin-con-taminated soil from a Virginia campground where 30,000 Boy Scouts held a jamboree in 1981 showed no danger, and the youngsters will return to the site this summer, officials said Thursday. None of the scouts or leaders who attended the 10-day 1981 Boy Scout Jamboree at Fort A. P. Hill needs to be tested for exposure, said Dr.

Walter Menninger, who headed the private team that evaluated test results. "The officials who first set loose the dioxin scare were irresponsible in playing on people's emotions rather than medical evidence," said Menninger, chairman of the Boy Scouts national health and safety committee. "The only way one can be exposed to dioxin is through the skin, by eating or by inhaling it," Menninger said. "Unless one were bathing in the dirt or eating in the dirt, one should not be concerned." Menninger and Boy Scouts leader Ben H. Love said at a news conference here that extensive testing has shown that dioxin levels were low at the campground.

Consequently, Boy Scouts officials decided to hold their 1985 jamboree at the same site in July, Love said. "The likelihood of Scouts having contacted, inhaling or ingesting the dioxin is so remote it can be ignored," Menninger said. The discovery of dioxin, a pesticide byproduct that has caused cancer in laboratory animals, in soil at Fort A.P. Hill last November alarmed parents of Scouts who camped at the base for 10 days. Army tests had showed contamination of up to 228 parts per billion under a storage shed where herbicides had leaked.

Scouts had camped within 150 feet of the shed.The maximum acceptable level of dioxin is one part per billion, according to the federal Centers for Disease Control in Atlanta. But 401 subsequent soil and water samples by the Army and Environmental Protection Agency, and a series of tests by a Boy Scout-hired consulting firm, revealed only one area just outside the fenced shed had over 6 ppb, Menninger said. Other traces of dioxin were isolated and below 1 ppb, he said. Love said less than 1 percent of the Scouts had canceled their 1985 jamboree registration after the dioxin reports were publicized. Meanwhile i Washington, Army Secretary John O.

Marsh Jr. released a statement saying he was "pleased" with the Boy Scouts' decision. "The Army's goal has been to support the Boy Scouts of America and to provide them a location for their Jamboree," he added. Marsh said the 1985 Jamboree will also be held away from the contamination site, but "clean-up of the contaminated material will begin next week and will be completed well before the Jamboree." CBS witness under fire NEW YORK (AP) Ex-CIA analyst Sam Adams, the key source for a CBS documentary that accused retired Gen. William C.

Westmoreland of deceiving the nation about its prospects in Vietnam, testified Thursday that some evidence for his charges may have been destroyed. But Adams said he still believes the charges in "The Uncounted Enemy: A Vietnam Deception" were accurate, and that Westmoreland and others in the military deliberately understated the strength of communist forces as the war approached its peak in 1967. Adams underwent his second day of cross-examination as a co-defendant in Westmoreland's $120 million libel suit against the network. The general, who commanded U.S. forces in Vietnam from 1964 to 1968, maintains that no information on enemy strength was concealed and that the 1982 program was a Computer age invades library 11 At Ellsberg's trial Adams testified that "the problem all along in Vietnam was to sort out who was a soldier and who wasn't." On the documentary and in the trial Adams and others maintained that Westmoreland's command arbitrarily dropped some units from the enemy strength estimates for political reasons.

Westmoreland testified that it was because he believed such units as "assault youth" and "self-defense militias" were not true military groups and posed no threat to American forces. "Assault youth" should have been included in estimates of the enemy, Adams testified. "These were not Boy Scouts," he said. "They tended to be heavily armed. They were in uniform.

were front-line troops who, for example, fought in the Tet offensive." Adams is due to continue his testimony when the trial resumes Monday. and possibly five genes were identified in the more than 9,700 building blocks of the chemical sequence. One gene, about 1,500 building blocks long, orders creation of proteins that surround and protect the genes. Another, about 2,500 building blocks long, modifies viral genes so they can join the genes of a cell the virus infects. Ms.

Wong-Staal said the gene that orders production of the virus's protein coat is fused to another, called "lor," which seems to affect the activity of the other virus genes. It may do the same to genes of an infected cell, she said. "We think this is really the key for the mechanism of action of the virus," she said. attacks stop," said Carole Griffin, president of the Big Bend Right to Life chapter. "We want the violence inside and outside the abortion clinics to stop." The groups have planned special church services Sunday, a candlelight vigil at the governor's mansion Monday night, a memorial service in the Capitol on Tuesday and pickets later in the week at the offices of Planned Parenthood, doctors who perform abortions in their office and abortion clinics.

It is the first time that the groups have planned to picket doctors' offices. Spokesmen said it is an attempt to show that abortions can be stopped in a1 peaceful way. FOR SALE: (1) 1978 Chevy Step-Van, std. 77,412 8 power steering, 12 ft. bed (185) Contact Coop.

Now York 12885 Phone: 51M23-7851 Pub: Jan. 18, 25, Feb. 1, 8, 1985 AIDS genetic code identified libelous attack on his reputation. In a skeptical tone, Westmoreland lawyer David Dorsen questioned Adams about the broadcast's allegation that for five months before the communist Tet offensive of January 1968, enemy soldiers infiltrated the country at a rate of nearly 25,000 a month while Westmoreland's command reported figures in the range.

The effect, the broadcast charged, was to contribute to a dramatic gap between the number of enemy soldiers listed in official reports about 248,000 and the true number, said to exceed 500,000 at the time of Tet. "All these people coming up with studies, all those 100,000 to 150,000 infiltrators it took 15 years for this story to come to light?" Dorsen asked. "That's the long and the short of it," Adams replied. Dorsen pressed Adams for proof that the infiltrators ever existed. after the journal Cell reports the same accomplishment by researchers at the Pasteur Institute in Paris.

In addition, an official of Chiron Corp. in Emeryville, said Thursday his laboratory has done the same thing, but he declined to discuss the work before it is reported in Science magazine. No date has been set for that publication. Each research group got its AIDS virus from a different source, and "it will be very interesting to have all these (genetic identifications) published so that finally, one can know whether everyone has the same virus or a different virus, or if they are different, what the nature a nonviolent movement," Horkan said. Four people have been indicted in the Christmas Day bombings of a F'ensacola abortion clinic and two doctors' offices where abortions were performed.

One of the four called the attacks "a gift to Jesus on his birthday." Pro-choice groups have planned a vigil at abortion clinics to protect them against further violence. They expressed fear that the anniversary of Jan. 22, 1973, Supreme Court decision might bring trouble. "We believe that the inflammatory rhetoric from anti-abortion leaders increases the potential for violence that weekend." said "Records which we knew to have existed our attempts to get those records were to no-avail because, in my opinion, they've probably been destroyed," Adams said. Q.

By whom, Mr. Adams? A. I don't know. Dorsen later asked Adams why it would have taken an investigation by CBS to uncover a major failure in American intelligence on the eve of one of the biggest battles of the Vietnam War. "The problem with the Vietnam War was that there has never been an investigation of what went on," Adams said.

"It turned out that George Crile and I had to do what someone else should have done a long time ago." George Crile, the documentary's producer, also is a co-defendant in the suit. Dorsen also tried to demonstrate contradictions between Adams' testimony at the 1973 Pentagon Papers trial of Daniel Ellsberg and his more recent accounts. of their differences is," said Lacy Overby, Chiron vice president. The effort that involved the cancer institute also included researchers from the Harvard Medical School and Dana-Farber Cancer Institute in Boston, E.I. DuPont de NeMours in Wilmington, and Centocor of Malvern, Penn.

The goal was to identify the long chemical sequence that makes up the genetic blueprint, or "genome," of the AIDS virus. The genome is divided into genes, portions of the chemical sequence that direct particular activities of the virus. Flossie Wong-Staal, who directed the project at the cancer institute, said Thursday that four deplore Cynthia Lefever. president of the Tallahassee chapter of the National Organization for Women. "The vigil will demonstrate the risks that these anti-abortion vigilantes force women to take every time they seek to exercise their constitutionally protected right to abortion," she said.

Horkan joined representatives of other anti-abortion groups in calling for peaceful demonstrations to potest the 7-2 Supreme Court decision that a state may not prevent a woman from having an abortion during the first six months of pregnancy. "We will pray and fast for peace that the war on the unborn will NEW YORK (AP) -Researchers have identified the "dots and dashes" of the genetic code that governs activities of the suspected AIDS virus, a step that could help in diagnosis, prevention and maybe treatment of the deadly disease, scientists said Thursday. "You never know the full ramifications" of mapping out the chemical sequence of a virus's genes, said Dr. Robert Gallo of the National Cancer Institute in Bethesda. where one team of researchers is based.

ASK ME HOWI NEW YORK (AP) -The brain of the New York Public Library its card catalog is being spirited away, and its 9,000 oak drawers of 10 million dog-eared cards will be replaced by bound volumes of photocopies and a computerized catalog. "It's a change from the 19th century to the latter part of the 20th century," said Stewart Bodner, a reference librarian for the past 15 years at the Fifth Avenue research center, where granite lions guard the entrance. ''That's pretty dramatic, actually." Thursday was the last day for the card catalog, whose contents if laid flat would reach 789 miles, all the way to Chicago. Today, Room 315, which houses the card catalog, and the main reading room will be closed for the first time in the library's 74-year history, while staffers move their desks.

By Saturday, the reference librarians will be at temporary posts in the North Hall. In nine months, after renovations are completed, the librarians and the catalog volumes will return to Room 315. Brass fixtures be polished, walls and vaulted ceilings will be restored, computer terminals will be installed. But there will be no more drawers of cards with such labels as "Jurg to Juss" or "Mammalia, Hawaii to Man (M)." "Some of us feel a little sad," said librarian Ruth Carr. "Some of these cards were handwritten during the 19th century, in an elegant script.

There's something about touching cards they smell of use, of thousands of fingerprints over the years, she said. Arthur Curley, deputy director of research libraries, agreed that there was reason for sadness but only up to a point. The oak card-catalog drawers are "pretty, but pretty isn't good enough. I'm sorry that we can't keep the card catalogs, but I'm also sorry that Fifth Avenue isn't a horse path anymore," he said. The problem, said Curley, was that the 3-by-5 cards were wearing out, and "we had to photograph the cards just to preserve the information." The library, second in size to the Library of Congress among U.S.

libraries, has 8 million books. Copying the cards, which now fill 800 volumes, took a decade. In addition to the volumes that will be used at the library, about 200 sets have been sold to libraries worldwide. Each set cost $34,000, though microfiche sets were offered at a bargain price of $19,000. In 1972, the library stopped recording new acquisitions on cards, instead entering them into a computer database located in Palo Alto, Calif.

That information now will be copied into the new library computer system, which has been nicknamed "CATNYP" Catalog of the New York Public Library. The library held a cocktail party Thursday afternoon billed as a "fond farewell to the card catalog." Invitations were printed on 3-by-5 cards, in the manner of the departing catalog cards Starting today, the cards will be packed in crates and hauled off to a libary annex in an old MGM film warehouse on West 43rd Street. Beth Diefendorf, assistant chief of general research, said the cards would be thrown out after five years, but Curley was not so certain. "You know libraries," he said. "We don't throw anything out." Abortion foes TALLAHASSEE, Fla (AP) Saying that recent bombings had hurt their movement, Florida abortion opponents called Thursday for peaceful protests on the anniversary of the Supreme Court decision legalizing abortion.

Tom Horkan, executive director of the Florida Catholic Conference, said the bombings have given abortion-rights activists a platform from which to attack the right to-life movement. "If I wanted to damage or destroy the right to life movement, the first thing I would do is to go out and bomb a few abortion clinics because that destroys the credibility of the right-to-life movement, which has always been.
