Monday, April 15 THE UNDERSEA WORLD OF JACQUES COUSTEAU (ABC, 7:30-8:30 p.m.). "Search in the Deep." The oceanauts of the Calypso journey to the Island of Europa in the Mozambique Channel, foremost breeding ground of giant green sea turtles, those mysterious and ancient armored behe moths that sometimes grow to 800 Ibs. and the span of two arms' lengths across their shells...

In preliminary drafts of the speech-and in the advance word given to congressional leaders and foreign powers including Britain, the Soviet Union and France-the 20th parallel cutoff point was explicitly stated.

Stone of the Army Materiel Command insisted that the heavy, viscous nerve liquid sprayed from the aircraft could not have been carried off the proving ground by wind. Yet wind velocity during the test was between 5 m.p.h. and 20 m.p.h., with gusts up to 35 m.p.h. blowing in practically a straight line from the proving grounds to Skull Valley, where the sheep died. Facing a delegation of Utah Congressmen in Washington last week, General Stone...
