In the Ferguson case, the driver contended
that his refusal to drive was a protest against
"abnormally dangerous" working conditions
protected under Section 502 of the Act and
a protest on behalf of other employees
against the unsafe condition of the truck
and to secure its repair. He argued that such
protest is protected under Section 7 of the
Act, which gives employees "the right to
engage in concerted activities for the pur-
pose of mutual aid or protection."
The Board argued that its deferral under
-Spielberg was proper because the statutory
question-whether in all the circumstances
Ferguson was justified in refusing to operate
the tractor because' of unsafe operating con-
ditiois-"was squarely faced by the Joint
[Grievance] Committee since Article 16 of
the contract prohibited discharging Fer-
gusol unless his refusal to drive based on
safety factors 'is unjustified.'
The court takes this issue with the Board
on this point, saying:

"The 'green revolution,' encouraging as it
is, nevertheless shows that traditional agri-
culture won't solve the food problem of the
future," according to Rainer Gross, West Ger-
man nutritionist working on the Peru proj-
ect.
The undertaking here is far from tradi-
tional. Essentially, it converts sunlight, a
minimum of water, and a tiny fresh-water
plant into a"flour" that nourishes human
beings with vitamins, minerals, fatty acids
and, above all, protein, the basic element of
all healthy human nutrition.
The plant is a microalga with the scientific
name of Scenedesmus. Sown in shallow plas-
tic basins of water, it is cultivated with
abundant sunshine, measured doses of car-
bon dioxide and a special mineral fertilizer.
It produces a crop every four days.
A centrifuge harvests the crop, recycling
the water back into the growing basins.
Dried, the microscopic plant becomes a pow-
dery, leaf-colored "flour" with the faint
scent and flavor of fresh salad greens.
Except in appearance and consistancy,
however, it's not really a flour at all. It nei-
ther thickens nor binds when combined with
other foods, whose colors and flavors it easily
assumes; and it boosts the nutritive value.
"The traditional food with the highest pro-
tein value is the egg, followed by milk, beef
and soya," Gross said. "Scenedesmus ranks
between eggs and milk. By adding it to milk,
we can give the latter a higher protein value
than eggs."
West Germany has conducted research
on cultivation of Scenedesmus for human
nutrition for more than two decades with

CIA INVOLVEMENT IN INTERNAL
AFFAIRS OF OTHER NATIONS
QUESTIONED
HON. JOE L. EVINS
OF TENtrFSSLL
IN THE HOUSE OF R.EPRE ENTA rIVi;S
Wednesday, September .15, ;9874
Mr. EVINS of Tennessee. Mr. Speaker,
the Tennessean in Nashville in a recent
editorial questions the involvement of the
Central Intelligence Agency in the inter-
nal affairs of other nations.
The editorial specifically refers to
testimony of CIA Director William Colby
before a House subcommittee to the effect
that the CIA was actively involved in the
agitation in Chile against President Al-
lende prior to his overthrow and death.
This testimony included the statement
that the CIA authorized $500,000 to aid
the political opposition to President
Allende, $300,000 to bribe Chilean legis-
lators to vote against the late President,
and millions of dollars for destabilization
of the Government.
Hopefully these policies of covert ac-
tivities related to the internal affair:; of
other nations will be reversed and a new
set of principles adopted for the opera-
tion of the CIA with much tighter reins
on covert action.
Because of the Interest of rely coilea> ues

Disclosures that the central Intelligence
Agency authorized millions of dollars for
covert activities in Chile are bad enough,
but President Ford's public defense of this
Nixon administration policy is astounding.

Chilean President Allende, he said there arcs
