WASHINGTON (AP) - The State
Department says it is not ready to accuse
the Soviet Union of violating the
principles of SALT II even though the
Russians recently concealed data from
the test of a new missile.
The initial revelation of the Soviet
missile test - by administration officials
who asked not to be named - came a few
hours after President Carter told a group
of magazine editors visiting the White
House that "we are committed to the
pursuit of detente" with the Soviet
Union.

dormitories that had been taken over by
some 600 inmates for nearly six hours
after a lightning bolt knocked out all powr

who noted that the prisoners gave up
peacefully after the lights were restored
just before 2 a.m. this morning.
A host of riot-equipped prison
personnel entered the dormitories when
power came back on, but met no
resistance. There were no casualties on
either side. Ryer said.
"Of the eight units, three of them did
nothing at all. The other five set fires,
broke out a good part of the window, and
broke toilets." Ryer said.

"I feel it is vital that the
American people understand
the state of our intelligence
operations." Hance said. "And
the truth is that the CIA and our
other intelligence agencies
have nearly been put out of
business in recent years. It is
time we tell the American
people just how serious the
political attacks on our intellig-
ence operations have been."
"We need to stress, again
and again, that an effective
intelligence operation is vital
and essential to maintaining a
strong America.
"Intelligence activities may
not be a nice business, but
unfortunately, the game in
which we are players is not a
nice game. The fact that we
allow foreign agents access to
important information relative
to our government through the
Freedom of Information Act is
unthinkable and must be
changed.
"To allow those who reveal
the identity of intelligence
agents to go free while their
victims lose their lives, can no
longer be tolerated.
"We have just witnessed in
the Middle East the problems
when we have poor intelligence
resources. The CIA simply has
not been effective in recent
years. There apparently were
abuses of the power the CIA
once had. However, we have
gone too far in restricting the
CIA at the expense of our
national security.
"I feel this legislation still
allows the American people to
retain adequate controls over
intelligence agencies. However,
it does restore enough authority
to allow- intelligence agencies to
gather information on the state
of foreign affairs, terrorism and
our national security."

In former British colonies,

regulated that the practice
borders on ritual: It can only be
administered by the principal or

in a "punishment" book with
such details as the number of
