The committee, a sub-group of the Senate Government Operations Committee, is studying problems in control of pesticides. Metcalf said he is confident the committee will propose not only protective measures and practices for our country health and wildlife resources but also for the preservation of a thoughtful freedom of use for the insecticides and other pesticides that humanity will need for many, many years to come. WASHINGTON (AP) Development of modern insecticides is one of the great scientific achievements of the 20th century.

Dr. Robert L. Metcalf, professor of entomology and vice chancellor Of the University of California, told a Senate committee yesterday. Like virtually every other achievement of the human mind, insecticides are subject to over-zealous, misapplied, or ignorant usage, he testified. It is, I maintain, these deficiencies of application rather than the quality of the products themselves which are quite clear AGES 2 MONTHS TO YEARS.

(AP) Reactor Site On Fault? i Experts Split BOGDA HEAD (AP) Two consultants for Pacific Gas and Electric Co. contend the proposed Bodega Head nuclear power plant site is not located in an active earthquake fault zone, despite discovery of a bedrock fault fracture. Dr.

Don Tocher, University of California seismologist, gave an on-site news conference Monday his interim opinion that it is extremely unlikely that an earthquake caused the break in the 93-million-years-old granitic rock. Elmer C. Marliave, former chief engineering geologist for the State Department of Water Resources, said the San Andreas fault zones area of active shearing lies on the zones eastern edge, two miles or more east of the site. The proposed $61 million, kilowatt plant's site is located about a quarter of a mile west of the San Andreas fault zones western edge. COUNTER JUDGMENT The views of Tocher and Marliave countered the judgment of Dr.

J. P. Eaton, the Interior Departments seismic hazards investigator, that the Bodega Head site is not an adequately safe location for a nuclear power plant." In his opinion, Eaton said, the Bodega Head site, on a Pacific shore headland 50 miles north of San Francisco, failed to meet the test of this consideration: The magnitude of possible human damage that would result from destruction of the plant by an earthquake suggests that it should be built only if there is no reasonable doubt that it would survive any earthquake likely to occur on the nearby San Andreas fault." The company flew newsmen and cameramen in two chartered helicopters to Bodega Head. There the newsmen were lowered by crane in a metal cage elevator to the bottom of the reactor pit 60 feet below sea level. The circular pit is 142 feet across.

Tocher displayed and explained the bedrock fracture area in the formation of quartz diorite, a granitic stone formed from cooling fluid magma 93 million years ago. Tocher said the fracturing evident in the reactor pit wall could have been caused by a number of forces other than earthquakes. The bedrock fracture line extended fully across the pit. Tocher said a substantially shorter fault line had been in the voering sedimentary rock. 40,000.

YEARS OLD The sedimentary rock was laid down in layers in successive submerging of the area. Buried wood in the top sedimentary layers established their age at more than 40,000 years. The fault fact shifting in the sedimentary rock ranged from four to nine inches. Tocher said this fracturing could have resulted from differing rates of compacting. Marliave said the site area would be subject to considerable shaking action by major earthquakes along the San Andreas fault.

But he and Ferd F. Mautz, chief civil engineer, declared the plant design would include a safety factor to withstand earth shocks substantially greater than the 1906 quake. The reactor pit will be excavated 14 feet deeper in the next two weeks. We will want to make a thorough study then before reaching our final conclusion, Tocher said. The Atomic Energy Commission will rule on application to build the plant after a public hearing soon to be set.

By th6n, the company will have invested $2.5 million in site acquisition, development and the reactor pit ex cavation. LET GEORGE IT! ALL i INSURANCE NEEDS 4 4 ir 1 I 10:00 A.M.
