Western Confab ends Governors set up energy crisis outline GLENEDEN BEACH (UPP Ending four days of discussion, western governors came up with broad guidelines Wednesday to deal with the energy shortage and establish a regional energy policy. The governors wrapped up their annual conference with unanimous agreement that their efforts were productive. They also agreed that much more work needs to be done in search of a comprehensive policy that will ultimately meet future energy requirements. The governors were more weary than refreshed when they left Salishan Lodge on the Oregon coast to return home. But they left closer together on issues than they were before they arrived at the popular ocean resort. The major energy resolution found governors united on the need to reduce energy con sumption by persuasion, law or regulation. At the same time they called for a dramatic increase in research efforts to develop new energy sources. Significantly, they said en vironmental considerations should not be sacrificed in the process. “Research and development efforts should be directed most forcefully toward the use of resources that minimize hazards to the environmental quality achievements of the past and the future,” their resolution said. Principal steps requested by the governors included: --Developing an energy con servation ethic to reduce con sumer demand. -Immediately committing money to develop new energy sources such as solar and geothermal power, turning coal to gas. turning coal to liquid and construction of nuclear reactors. The latter was contrary to the advice of consumer advocate Ralph Nader who addressed the governors Tuesday. -Supporting the creation of a national grid system for distributing electricity. -Eliminating phase four price controls to relieve independent gasoline dealers of unfair treatment. -Urging utility companies to make available low-cost finan cing for the installation of more adequate installation in new and existing homes. -Asking President Nixon to make completion or hydro electric generating facilities a national priority. -Petitioning Congress to make adjustments for automobile emission controls in high altitude areas for greater fuel economy. Leader is a leader, says lady commander FUERTH, Germany (UPI)-Lt. Col. Nancy Hopfenspirger took command of 830 men 'Hiursday as the U.S. Army’s ranking female commander overseas and said leadership ability transcends sex barriers. “If a leader is a leader, regardless of sex, they will demand respect-they will earn it,” the 47-year-old colonel told an interviewer on assuming command of the big Wuerzburg support activity. “So whether the leader is a woman or a man is not relevant. The question is, do they possess the leadership qualities to accomplish their mission?” The feeling seemed to be mutual among the men Col. Hop fenspirger, a dynamic five-foot brunette from Delmar, N.Y., will be commanding in the north Bavarian support area. “It does not make any difference if she wears a skirt or trousers,” said Sergeant First Class Eldon Bauer, a maintenance technician from East Alton, 111. “If she has the training and the knowledge and is capable of using them, she should be able to command.” Sergeant First Class James Morris of Vicksburg, Miss., said, “I don’t see any problems because we are an administrative unit. If we were a combat unit then I would have some strong comments.” Col. Hopfenspirger, who is not married, accepted her command scroll from Col. John Eggers, commander of the north Bavaria sup port district. “All the publicity is a little earthshaking,” she said. “I don’t know of any other woman officer who has found herself in a similar situation.” The U.S. Army in Europe does have one other woman officer in command of men, Capt. Reba Tyler, who took command of a postal detachment in Mannheim earlier this year. But her command is much smaller than that assumed by Col. Hopfenspirger. ‘No,’ says Agnew chum to Maryland grand jury BALTIMORE (UPI)-Meeting in strictest secrecy, a federal grand jury heard its first evidence against Vice President Spiro Agnew Thursday in a seven-hour, 20-minute session. Agnew’s lawyers made plans to try to block the inquiry on con stitutional grounds. While Agnew put in an ap parently routine workday in Washington on the eve of a long weekend in California, 22 members of the grand jury in vestigating political corruption in Maryland were understood to have heard four witnesses before they recessed, possibly until some time next week. One of the first to appear before the jury in the federal courthouse in downtown Maryland was William Muth. public relations vice president of an engineering consultant firm and former vice president of the Baltimore City Council. Some reporters said they recognized an Internal Revenue Service agent entering the building, but it would not be established whether he had testified. Muth, an old friend of Agnew’s said he refused to testify before the grand jury because federal prosecutors had never told him what the investigation was about. He said he was excused. Muth said he was offered limited immunity from further prosecution three weeks ago, but turned it down and also ignored a request to bring with him Thursday records dating back to 1960. “It’s a fishing expedition,” he told UPI. “If they’re going to use this star chamber, it’s one of the worst things ever perpetrated in American politics.” Short Hair Long Hair- Beards Cuts- Styles Trims—Color PARKSIDE BARBER SHOP 1672 W 18th (18th & Chambers) 1672 W 18th (18th & Chambers) 342 4611 free estimates Tues Fri 9 9 Sat 9-6 Read the merald Read the Imerald RESEARCH Thousands of Topics $2.75 per page Send for your up-to-date, 160-page, mail order catalog Enclose $1.00 to cover postage (delivery time is 1 to 2 days).
