One group went ashore to a small town called Isabela la Sagua and shelled the Russian military camp. The other stayed in the boat and lofted 20-mm, cannon shells into the ship. One of the artillery shells hit the stack carrying the hammer and sickle, the report said. In New York, Antonio Vaci.

EFFECT UNCERTAIN However, there was no agree- ment whether the effects froia smaller quantities of radiation follow the same pattern as from larger amounts. Nor was there any certainty about what level of radiation could be considered safe, if any. At present, most experiment- ing involved plants. and ani- mals. Information about the ef- fects of radiation on humans usually came about as 2 result of accidents. Dr. Beaudry said the last se- ries of Soviet high-altitude nu. clear tests had produced less radioactive fallout than aptici- pated by Western _ scientists. This apparenly was an indica- tion the Russians had deve'oped a relatively "'clean" bomb. The Montreal professor said he has no reports concerning U.S. tests and added that the amount of radiation in the air now is about the same amount as given off by the luminous dial of a wrist watch.

Roach.

Mr. Justice Roach reported that an 'alarming' amount of organized gambling had taken place in Ontario but found no evidence or other organized crime, His findings brought the im- mediate resignations of James Bartlett, deputy commissioner of the Ontario Provincial Po- lice, and District Inspector Al- lan Stringer of Peterborough for alleged associations with gamblers. Both retire on full pensions after careers of 36 and 31 years respectively with pro- vincial police. The report drew contrasting reaction from government and opposition spokesmen, Mr. Justice Roach absolved the atterney-general's depart. ment of allegations of corrup- tion which had arisen during his: 66 days of public sittings.
