and set an apparent record on
one complicated game,
Defender, of more than 20 mil
lion points
It took Mahugh 24 hours to
run up 20,307,600 points Satur
day and Sunday at a video par
lor-restaurant in Seattle's
University District.
The score was for a single,
25-cent game As a prize, the
video parlor, Arnold's, gave him
the quarter back
Mahugh, 23, of Seattle was
prompted to shoot for a record
after reading a story in Time
magazine about an apparent
record of 15,963,100 points set
in 16V4 hours by a 15-year-old
Illinois youth
"I read the magazine article
on Tuesday and decided I could
take on the guy's record," he
said "I never knew anyone
cared before And I wasn’t do
ing anything this weekend."
In the noisy, fast-paced
Defender game the player con
trols a spaceship to protect his
men from "landers'' and mu
tants" on the ground and in
space while trying to avoid be
ing blasted from the sky
Mahugh said 50,000 points
would be an average score for a
competent player
Mahugh is a community col
lege student who plans a u
niversity physics degree and a
career in music and computers
He began playing video games
last March during his lunch hour
at a tavern near his job at
Boeing
"I was a very serious type of
guy before video," he said
Training in classical and jazz
piano helped his "fingering and
strength for the video games
Mahugh said he tired and had
to quit at the end of his mara
thon.
"My hand felt like it was going
to fall off, and I couldn't see
anymore he said
Polish leader
blasts Solidarity
WARSAW, Poland
Polish Premier Wojciech Ja
ruzelski bitterly attacked the in
dependent labor federation
Solidarity, the United States and
its allies Monday and hinted that
military control of Poland's
mines and factories will
continue for some time
In his first address to the
Sejm, or Parliament, since mar
tial law was declared Dec 13,
Jaruzelski said some restric
tions on civil liberties could be
lifted by the end of February, but
only if there are no "illegal
activities” directed against the
state, Radio Warsaw reported
Warsaw radio also reported
gasoline sales would resume in
February, under a strict ration
ing system
In Belgium, Common Market
representatives meeting at their
Brussels headquarters agreed
to push for higher interest rates
on Common Market export
credits granted to the Soviet
Union
"Before the 13th of December
last year, the stability and
security of the state had been
unhinged and the economy was
crashing.” Warsaw radio quot
ed Jaruzelski as saying "The
threat of fratricidal war was in
the air.”
He said lifting of martial law
would depend on the
fulfillment of conditions which
would secure a permanent safe
and normal course of life, the
smooth functioning of the
economy ”
He said Poland has a long way
to go before martial law is end
ed
"The calendar must not
decide the future of our country,
and above all no external pres
sure whatsoever must decide
it,” he said in an apparent
reference to Western demands
tor the release of internees and
restoration of civil liberties
If no illegal actions develop,
if unforeseen circumstances do
not arise these restrictions (on
civil liberties) will be lifted or
considerably reduced, at any
rate by the end of next month
said Jaruzelski
He accused the United States
and NATO of indulging in psy
chological propaganda aggres
sion” against Poland especially
by withholding food shipments
In Washington. White House
spokesman Larry Speakes said
diplomatic reports contradict
Jaruzelski's claim that
repressive measures may soon
be lifted He said Jaruzelski's
speech seemed to be a jus
tification of martial law, so it
"surely could not be character
ized as positive in its implica
tions ”

BPA plan proposes
utility rate increase
PORTLAND
Wholesale utility rates
charged by the Bonneville
Power Administration would in
crease by as much as 80 per
cent under a plan announced by
the BPA Monday
BPA Administrator Peter
Johnson said the maior reason
for the big increase in rates for
so-called ’ firm load ' power is
the increasing costs of Wash
ington Public Power Supply
System plants 1,2 and 3
The BPA is underwriting
nearly the entire cost of the two
nuclear plants Johnson noted
that the termination of WPPSS
plants 4 and 5 caused an in
crease in the costs of plants 1
and 3, because the four nuclear
generating plants were being
built in tandem
The BPA has no direct finan
cial tie to the terminated WPPSS
plants
In announcing the rate hike
proposal, Johnson said BPA
and WPPSS directors were
planning to meet to cut con
struction costs by 15 percent at
the three nuclear plants
The measure was one of
several BPA cost-cutting plans
designed to keep the rate in
creases at the lowest possible
level, the BPA chief said
Johnson said rates for BPA
firm power to publicly-owned
utilities and some pri
vately-owned utilities would
increase from an average of
1 14 cents to between 1 85 and
2 05 cents per kilowatt hour
The BPA also is seeking an
increase of up to 30 percent in
rates for interruptable power to
direct service industrial cus
tomers from the current 1 73
points per kilowatt hour to
between 2 1 and 2 25 cents per
kilowatt hour
Under the regional power act,
the BPA serves as a broker for
most electricity produced in the
Pacific Northwest, including all
of the relatively inexpensive
power generated by dams on
the Columbia River
Rate increases would be
passed to consumers by the
utilities, although the size of
those increases would vary
based on a utility's dependence
on BPA power
