Ozone study to go to Great Smoky Mountains JERUSALEM (AP) Dr. Mikhail Agursky, a pillar of the Soviet scientific establishment who became a dissident and campaigner for Soviet Jewry, was found dead Tuesday in his hotel room in Moscow. He was 58.

The Hebrew University said he apparently died of a heart attack. An Israeli citizen since 1975, he was in the Soviet Union for a brief visit. Agursky was a member of the Soviet Academy of Sciences specializing in physics and cybernetics and an adviser to the Soviet military industry before his faith in communism ebbed and he became an opponent of the Soviet system. At the Hebrew University in Jerusalem, Agursky turned his research efforts to Soviet affairs and became a popular commentator.

"Now that we've verified injury in the (laboratory), and we know it is ozone, we need to take to the park level," park service spokesman Jim Renfro said. "How do we relate it to the mature forest? That's really the goal," he said of a study begun this week on selected trees in the Smokies. GATLINBURG (AP) Scien- Researchers have identified the Park Service-supported liar pollution patterns from symptoms of pollution under controlled conditions at the Smokies' Uplands Research Laboratory.

Now they are moving into the field. "Are we having visible injury in the eastern forests?

Roofing materials were scattered in front of the one-story building and windows were broken, she said. Officers responding to a burglar alarm across the road discovered debris in front of the damaged clinic at about 7:45 a.m. EDT, police said. The clinic normally opens about 8 a.m. Mazzucco said no one was at the clinic when the attack, occurred.

She suggested it was connected to anti-abortion sentiment in Wichita, where more than 1,500 people have been arrested for blocking a clinic. "What would you think?" she answered when a reporter' asked if the attack was motivated by the Wichita protests. The Chattanooga clinic has been the site of anti-abortion protests in recent years.
