               ************************
 
>> CLEARCUTTING OPERATION SHUT DOWN IN CLAYOQUOT SOUND
 
MacMillan Bloedel violations of fisheries/forestry guidelines
unacceptable, says Greenpeace
 
VANCOUVER, BC, Canada 20 July 1994(GP) An international team of
Greenpeace activists shut down an active clearcutting operation
in Clayoquot Sound today, as they scaled and chained themselves
to logging machinery in the old-growth temperate rainforest.    
The activists from Canada, U.S., Germany, U.K., and the
Netherlands, disrupted an active clearcutting operation, landing
a helicopter on the site in the Cypre River valley. Locking on to
machinery, the activists unfurled banners reading "CLEARCUTTING
CLAYOQUOT, STILL NOT SOUND" and "GO CLEARCUT FREE."
 
The protest comes the day after Greenpeace released a report
revealing over 60 violations of the British Columbia
Fisheries/Forestry guidelines by MacMillan Bloedel in Clayoquot
Sound. The Cypre River Valley was one of the areas examined.     
"Violations are ongoing in Clayoquot Sound, the government is not
taking action, so Greenpeace will,"  said Tzeporah Berman,
Greenpeace Canada forests campaigner. "Although the government
and industry have promised sweeping changes in forestry
practices, our research has shown that very little has changed on
the ground. Clayoquot Sound is being devastated by clearcut
logging while the government and industry fumble for a solution."
 
Stripping forests bare by clearcutting has devastated Canada's
ancient temperate rainforest and caused erosion and siltation and
damage to streams which are prime salmon spawning grounds.
 
The Canadian governments and the forestry industry are spending
tens of millions of dollars to assure customers that Canada's
forest practices are sound. However, little has been done to
implement the existing standards, which are far below those found
in the US or Russia. 
 
"Witnessing the destruction caused by clearcutting in these
temperate rainforests is deeply shocking. Consumers in my country
X need to understand what they are buying into when they purchase
products that come from such devastating forest practices," said
Peter, Paul or Mary, of country X. 
                                                            
Greenpeace is demanding that the B.C. government:
 
* institute a ban on clearcutting in Clayoquot Sound; 
* immediately suspend roadbuilding and the issuing of further
cutting permits until Government initiatives, including the
Central Region Board and the recommendations of the Scientific
Panel, are implemented. 
 
FOR MORE INFORMATION, PLEASE CONTACT:
 
On site in Clayoquot Sound, Tzeporah Berman at (604) 725-4221   
Tamara Stark, Greenpeace Vancouver, (604) 253-7701
 
The MV Greenpeace can be reached by dialing 0 and asking for the
marine operator. Ask for the Greenpeace ship, identity N112156,
Tofino, channel 24.
The MV Greenpeace can also be reached by INMARSAT satellite
telephone at 011 872 130 0130. (Please note that calls are
$10/minute)
 
Notes to editors:
 
The Greenpeace report released yesterday was authored by John
Werring, a registered professional biologist and environmental
lawyer with the Sierra Legal Defence Fund. It shows that not only
do current clearcutting practices contravene B.C.'s new Forest
Practices Code, but they do not even meet existing guidelines
under the B.C. Fisheries/Forestry Guidelines, Cutting Permits and
Road Building Permits. Cutblocks examined are also potentially
violating the Federal Fisheries Act. Lawyers are continuing their
investigation of avenues of prosecution.
 
Today's action in Clayoquot Sound is part of Greenpeace's "No
Fish, No Forests, No Future" tour on Canada's West Coast. The MV
Greenpeace has been travelling down the coast from Prince Rupert
to Victoria. The tour is focusing on damaging practices in the
fish and forest industries and the repercussion for the social
and economic future of resource-based communities.

			WATTS BAR NUCLEAR PLANT BLOCKADED
				OVER 50 PROTESTERS JAILED 

Early this morning over 150 protesters were attacked by local police 
and Tennessee Valley Authority security while participating in a 
peaceful demonstration at the Watts Bar Nuclear Power Facility in 
eastern Tennessee.  The protesters had blocked the main entrance of 
the facility, opposing further construction of this taxpayer-funded 
energy fiasco.  Some protesters were locked to cement-filled 
barrels and a thirty-foot pole tripod, as large crowd chanted and 
sang in support.  The blockade slowed down access to the facility for 
several hours.

Demonstrators were singing peacefully when law enforcement 
officers charged into the crowd and began to push people back.  The 
officers then stated that if the demonstrators left TVA property 
they would not be arrested.  As most people complied with the police 
request, the same officers attacked the crowd, violently and 
randomly assaulting some, while chasing others down the highway.  
Guitar players, spokespersons, and a woman who had been given 
permission by TVA's Chief Security Officer to act as a legal 
observer were targeted as police arrested dozens of people.

Police then corralled the remaining non-violent proesters away from 
the blockade site under threat of arrest, leaving nine people 
unprotected, locked to the tripod and cement barrels, in the hands of 
numerous law enforcement officers equipped with riot guns and 
rifles.  All arrestees were taken to the Rhea County Jail in Dayton, 
Tennessee.

"It was clear that the local police were incited to use violence and 
intimidation by the TVA security," said Suzanne Sims of Katuah 
Earth First!  "This was a totally non-violent demonstration 
protesting a toxic industry.  We owe it to future generations to keep 
this out of our neighborhood".

Two other activists were arrested without justification as they 
approached the jail seeking the status of the first group of 
arrestees.  Moments later, Rhea County sheriff's deputies told the 
remaining non-violent activists to leave town immediately or be 
arrested on charges of inciting a riot.  About fifty people remain in 
jail on charges of trespassing.  Bail has been set at $1,000 per 
person.  Arraignment has been scheduled for 10am on Tuesday, July 
12, at the Rhea County Courthouse in Dayton, Tennessee.

These following NOTES are provided by the NFN:

The Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) is a public corporation 
created by Congress in 1933 to provide for the full development of 
the natural resources within and adjacent to the drainage basin of 
the Tennessee River.  This area covers land within the boundaries of 
seven southeastern US states including Georgia, Tennessee, 
Kentucky, Alabama, Mississippi, Virginia and North Carolina.

The TVA built 20 dams in its first 20 years of operations.  In 1962 
(latest info available) nearly half of the TVA's total electricity 
sales went to the defense agencies of the Federal government, the 
largest users being being the Atomic Energy Commission plants at 
Paducah, KY and Oak Ridge, TN.

The court case involving the nearly 60 Watts Bar protesters may 
soon become known as Monkey Trial II due to the fact that the 
hearings and trial are set to be held at the Rhea County Courthouse 
in Dayton, TN.  This is the same courthouse in which the famous 
Scopes or Monkey Trial was held in 1925.

The Scopes trial tested the constitutionality of the state law which 
stated "...it shall be unlawful for any teacher in... public schools... to 
teach any theory that denies the story of the Divine Creation of man 
as taught in the Bible and to teach instead that man has descended 
from a lower order of animals."  John Scopes, a young biology 
teacher, openly taught evolution to provoke a court test for the 
validity of the law.  A side issue of the case, fundamentalism vs 
modernism, attracted world wide attention.  The prosecution was 
lead by William Jennings Bryan while the defense was directed by 
Clarence Darrow.  Scopes was convicted and the statute upheld but 
the sentence was set aside on a technicality so that the 
constitutionality of the law never reached the federal courts.

Once again evolution is on trial as those who defend it are 
persecuted by those who would see it destroyed.

     WORKSHOPS
     "Dealing with the ecological advantages of rural areas"
     Dealing with ecological questions has a long tradition in
the area of youthwork and in the meantime it is a  large  part
of the whole spectrum of youth activities.
     This is  especially  true  for  rural  areas,  in   which
environmental subjects  have  a more existential importance in
the sense of being of life-long importance for the  people  in
these areas.
     This workshop   will   deal   with   the   environmental
"treasures" found in rural areas.
     Also in the time of conference following  wirkshops  will
available:
     "Not Without   Us:   Youth   Policy   with   Respect   to

         THE WISSENSCHAFTSLADEN HANNOVER e.V.

     In the 80th in Germany many of  the  critical  scientists
were unsatisfied  with  the  framework of their own scientific
work at universities and research  institutions,  mainly  with
the ever  growing  distance  of  scientific  knowledge and the
needs of everyday life.  Because of this some  of  thesepeople
fouded a  non-university  institution,  that was situated just
within this gap between science and daily life. The aim was to
confront the  scientific  communitu  with the needs of society
and to bring (back) social and  ecological  responsibility  to
the university.
     The Wissenschaftsladen Hannover e.V. was founded in 1986.
Because of  the nuclear accident in the Soviat Union that year
one of the first main topics of work were  informations  about
nuclear technology and radioactivity.  Lucky enough there were
not only scientists but academics,  pedagogues  and  other  as
well. From  the  beginning  there was the intention to work in
interdisciplinary teams.
     Today the  Wissenschaftsladen Hannover e.V.  has about 30
permanent members and several corresponding  members.  It's  a
registered society  and  financed by membership subscriptions,
donations, expert-opinions and several projects.  The honorary
members and   the  employees  of  the  Wissenschaftsladen  are
working on several different topics in the sphere  of  ecology
and environmental      protection.     Remaining     constant,
Wissenschaftsladen aims can still be described as follows:
     science for the benefit of the public and
     science for the benefit of the environment.

             (to be concluded in next issue)

     KALININGRAD AUTHORITIES STOPPED THE ACTION OF GREENS

     August 19,  1994 (EDI) Kaliningrad,  The  authorities  of
Kaliningrad/Koenigsberg  stopped the non-violent international
environmental action of Baltic Greens.  The bus with 36 people
     from Lithuanian Green Movement,
Lithuanian Universities, ECODEFENSE! (Kaliningrad/Koenigsberg)
and other environmentalists was stopped before  Russian-Polish
border  (in  Kaliningrad  region).  The  bus  went  along  the
Lithuanian and  Kaliningrad  coast  of  the  Baltic  Sea.  The
participants  of the action went out on the coast time-to-time
and collected coastal garbage. The plan of the action included
similar  walk  along  the  Lithuanian,  Kaliningrad and Polish
coast.  After it the plan included to bring  the  garbage  and
give   it  to  the  authorities:  Lithuanian  garbage  to  the
lithuanian authorities,  the Russian garbage  to  the  Russian
authorities, the Polish garbage to the Polish authorities.
     The authorities said the action organizers need pay about
1.300.000 Rub (about $650) for the trip in Poland where Polish
Greens  waited  the   bus   for   the   action   continuation.
Participants  don't  had  this money and the official faces of
the  Kaliningrad  administration  don't  helped   (Before   it
lithuanian  authorities  helped  to  the  organizers,  in  the
similar case).
     Action participants will present the packs with the coast
garbage to the administrations of the coastal regions.

   STOCKHOLM IMTERNATIONAL PEACE RESEARCH INSTITUTE PRESENT

Ian Anthony  (ed.)  THE  FUTURE  OF  THE DEFENCE INDUSTRIES IN
CENTRAL  AND  EASTERN  EUROPE  Sipri  Research   Report   No.7
Oxford/Stockholm, University Press/SIPRI, 1994, 142 p.

The report  examines  the  defence  industries  in Central and
Eastern Europe as they attempt to restructure in the  wake  of
changes  brought about by the end of the cold war and downward
trends in both military expenditure and arms control  exports.
Separate chapters examine the developing military doctrines in
Central and Eastern Europe, the trend in military expenditure,
the   nature   of  the  efforts  to  restructure  the  defence
industries,  the  international   dimensions   of   industrial
restructuring and the role of arms exports.  Finally, the book
attemps to relate the on-going process of  defence  industrial
restructuring   into   the  context  of  an  overall  economic
structural adjustment that is now underway  in  the  countries
under study.  Just a personal matter of terminology: I believe
it is better to speak about  'military'  industry  instead  of
'defence'  industry,  especially as a large part of this study
is devoted to Eastern European international arms exports  and
the  'defence'  priorities/intentions of the customers are not
always clear.

            WISSENSCHAFTSLADEN HANNOVER e.V.

(continuation from N24) Therefore we give advice  to  all  who
     need scientific
support in dealing with environmental problems and  conflicts.
We give literature references and help to build up information
networks for organizations.  If the ones who ask our help  are
private people,  grass root organizations and citizens' action
groups or if the probelm is from outstanding  public  interest
we try to do the work for free - as far as possible.
     Therefore we take part in research with our own  projects
(see  below).  We  try  hard  to work in fields that are of an
topical scientific interest and to use our work in a way  that
is of interest for relevant groups of society and not only for
the  scientific  community   itself.   We   support   critical
scientists  and academics and give students the chance to take
part in our projects to get to know something  about  existing
alternatives to the traditional scientific framework.
     Following a selection of topical projects:
     * Environmental consciousness of foreign people.
     * Electromagnetic  fields.  Advices  for  the  public and
strategies for mediation.
     * History  of  nature  and  technics.  Case  studies  and
comparisons in history and presence.
     * Ecology and time-system.
     * Saving energy.
     * Waste  avoidance.  Conseptional  reflections  and  case
studies.
     * Food-stuffs and genetics.
     * Climate change and its implications.
     * Traffic and environment.
