Richard BOSTON (AP) A nuclear scientist from the University of California says that hundreds of persons in the Boston area could die if water pumped from the Connecticut River was contaminated by a high level of radioactivity from a nuclear power plant at Vernon, Vt. Dr. Arthur Tamp lin, assistant director of the Atomic Energy Commission's Radiation Laboratory at the California school, told the legislature's Urban At'; fairs Committee Thursday that "between 400 and 600 deaths from cancer in a 4 million population area could result if the radioactivity reached the maximum set by the Atomic Energy Commission." The Metropolitan District Commission plans to divert water to Boston from, the Connecticut River at a point 11 miles south of the Vermont nuclear facility. Tamplin's view of the dangers was disputed, however, by Dr. Leonard Sagan, a scientist at the Palo Alto (Calif.) Medical Clinic and a specialist in radiation.

Sagan said that the AEC's standard, for radioactive emissions from nuclear poiver plants provides for safe human consumption. Emissions from the plant are about 1 per cent of the AEC standards, Sagan said. He added that about 30 scientists with expertise in the nuclear field signed statements disagreeing with Tamplin.

U.S., Russia Reported Talking Turkey On Lim' iting ABMs, Offensive Missiles FRESNO, Calif. (AP) In the first major breakthrough in a five-year California table grapes labor dispute, two large growers have agreed to two-year contracts with Cesar Chavez' union.

"I felt it's time we stopped thinking with our hearts and started thinking with our heads," oneofthe growers, Anthony plane, said simply after the agreement was announced Thursday. "We just want some peace." By JOHN W. FINNEY The two signersBianco's Bianco Fruit Corp. of Fresno and the Dispoto Co. of Tulare, owned by Bruno Dispotopreduced 80 million of the 718 million pounds of fresh grapes grown in California in 1969.

Chavez, who organized a ntt tionAide boycott of table grapes to gain union recognition, told a news conference the contracts were "very moderate as to terms." But he said he was hopeful they would bring "a measure of peace to the, grape industry." The contracts call for vineyard workers to receive $1.75 an hour as a minimum wage, plus a 25-cent-per-box incentive rate. They also will get 12 cents an hour in fringe benefits. The second year of the contract provides for a $1.90 minimum hourly wage. Top precontract wage was about $1.65 an hour plus 15 cents a box. They were the first contracts negotiated by Chavez' AFL-CIO United Farm Workers Organizing Committee in the San Joaquin Valley, where most of the nation's table grapes are grown.

Six previous contracts were signed with minor growers in the Coachella Valley in South. ern California. The agreeMents, effective June 15, will affect about 3,000 workers and ,3,070 acres of grapes in the San Joaquin and Coachella valleys in California and in Arizona, where Dispoto operates vineyards at Centennial Farms near Phoenix. The growers also agreed to a union demand not to use several pesticides which the union contends are injurious to workers' health. Chavez said his organization plans to intensify nonunion table grape boycott activity and- predicted that if the grape strike is not fully settled, "California will see the first general strike by farm workers." system and one that could develop into a "thick" ABM defense with 'a potential for upsetting the deterrent balance.

Much of the controversy in the negotiations in recent weeks is said kJ have centered on the Americans' reluctance to give up the area ABM defense concept, which is embodied in the administration's Safeguard system. In recent days there have been indications that the administration was to retreat on the issue. In testimony last week before the Senate Armed Services Committee, Secretary of Defense Melvin R. Laird raised the possibility that U.S.-Soviet agreement could "preclude any ABMs" and thus require the "dismantling" of the Safeguard system as well as the incomplete Galosh system around Moscow. to have taken the initiative in proposing a strict limitation on ABM systems.

Initially, the Russians were said to a ban on all M3M systems. When that failed to arouse American interest, they, reportedly proposed that ABM systems be limited to deployment around Moscow and Washington. The result apparently was to place the United States on the defensive in the negotiations. It was said to have maintained that any agreement should permit a limited "area defense" ABM system providing protection against Communist China.

The jury deliberated 90 minutes. Acquitted were Benjamin F.

Tilley, 59, of Boston, and Charles Domenico, 37, of Braintree. A third defendant, Gennaro J. Angiulo, 50, of Nahant, was acquitted on a directed verdict earlier, in the week on a charge of being an accessory after the fact. The government case was based on the testimony of John J.Kelley of Watertown, who said he planned the robbery, but did- not take part because he was under police surveillance. Kelley is under indictment in a $1 million armored car robbery in Boston two years ago.

1970 New York Times News Service WASHINGTON The United States and the Soviet Union are discussing an agreement on the control of strategic arms that would impose a freeze on the current level of offensive missiles 'and would limit antiballistic-missile defense to the protection of Washington and Moscow. Whether a formal accord will emerge from the tentative discussions remains uncertain. For all their expressed caution, administration officials say they are increasingly encouraged by the fact that the two sides have settled down to serious, detailed negotiations in the talks in Vienna. Since they resumed in mid-April, the 'two sides, according to disarmament experts involved, have submitted proposals for limiting offensive as well as defensive strategic weapons that cover some of the same points. The United States was said to have offered a range of proposals for limiting offensive weapons, the most comprehensive of which would prohibit multiple missile warheads, or MIRVs, as well as any antiballistic missile systems, or ABMs.

Alternative Described Since such a plan would require on-site inspection for enforcement, there was little expectation that it would be acceptable to the Soviet Union. As an alternative, therefore, the United States was said to have offered a proposal not requiring on-site inspection that would freeze land-based and submarine-based missiles on each side. Each would be permitted to shift from land-based to sea-based missiles as it saw fit. As a variation, the United States was said to have advanced a plan for phasing out land-based missiles, with, each side moving to a deterrent force built around submarin-ebased missiles. The Soviet Union was reported by disarmament sources mei U.S.
