More tarry blobs discovered in river Prostitution law passes committee McMillan rebuked one of bis own scientists who was quoted Thursday as saying that the St. Clair could be the biggest hazardous waste problem encountered in North America. Arguing that no evidence exists so far to justify such a claim, McMillan said it is not the job of departmental officials to "pontificate."

He told reporters he first learned of the new pollutants at noon Thursday after receiving a report based on film taken by divers who had combed the bottom of the river which flows between Ontario and Michigan with submersibles.
