Some persons, hearing that nuclear material was involved, telephoned newspapers, police and sheriff's offices to ask if they would be evacuated. They were told it wasn't necessary.

The nation's first presidential preference primary will be held there March 10. Nixon was asked if he thought "blood letting" would hurt the Republican party in the election campaign.
