W ASHINGTON (AP) -
Most Pentagon research spe-
cialists are satisfied the
United States can adequately
test several important new nu-
clear weapons, including big-
ger multiple warheads, before
a limit on underground tes-
ting takes effect
We can do what we want to
do in that time frame " said
one official referring to the
more than 20 months remain-
ing of unrestricted nuclear
testing below ground
This confidence probably is
based largely on an ex-
pectation that the pace of tes-
ting will be sped up signifi-
cantly The Atomic Energy
Commission reportedly has
asked for another $89 million
for this purpose this year
A new U.S.-Soviet treaty
bans all underground nuclear
test explosions greater than
150 kilotons, the equivalent of
150,000 tons of TNT, after
March 31. 1976
A previous treaty has for-
bidden all nuclear tests in the
atmosphere, in space and un-
der water since 1963
Both United States and Rus-
sia conducted nuclear weap-
ons tests last week, about a
week after the new treaty was
use the saved weight and
space for better devices to im-
prove accuracy
.Also. they say, it would be
possible to mount more war-
heads with better accuracy on
present Minuteman missiles

Southwestern Bell Telephone
Company has initiated a new
voluntary identification pro-
gram according to company
Manager John Millar.
“To make our customers
feel more secure, we've in-
structed our residence service
personnel to present I.D.’s
without waiting to be asked,"
Millar said
The manager said the
firm's installers and repair-
men are issued identification
cards, and “in the past
they've shown these I D 's on
request."
The new policy was initiated
because some people were
claiming to be telephone or
other utility service people to
gain entry to homes

A pair of new commanders
will take charge of Fort Sill s

monies Tuesday

command of the 546th and 1st
L Ronald A Rulison will
take command of the 197th
Military Police Detachment
This would be about twice
as powerful as the current
generation of multiple war-
heads (MIRVs) that can be
aimed at separate targets aft-
er being carried aloft by a
single Minuteman ICBM
Other advanced nuclear
weapons under development
include multiple warheads for
the new Trident submarine
launched missile and new ar-
maments for present and fu-
ture bombers
Some Pentagon research
specialists are known to be
disturbed because the new
treaty forecloses the United
States from matching the size
of new Soviet MIRV’s These
Russian warheads are said to
run as big as the explosive
equivalent of 1 million to 2
million tons of TNT
But the prevailing view ap-
pears to be that the most im-
portant research objectives
are gaining much greater ex-
plosive yield from a given
weight of nuclear material
and greater accuracy for mis-
sile warheads
