US South Africa poli cy (Continued from P .l Col.6) According to one high administration source, President Carter himself may go to New York to take the U.8. seat in the Security Council and deliver a major Africa policy statement. Responding to this rumor, one key African diplomat says, “We will not be appeased merely by a Carter appearance here. He has to say something that will really show a new direction for the U .8. government in Africa." •Ending U.S. nuclear cooperation with South Africa. Some advisors say the nuclear cooperation treaty with South Africa should be terminated because South Africa has not ratified the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty and is believed to be developing weapons. •Abolition of tax credits for U.S. investors in South Africa and Namibia. While the Democratic platform endorses this action, business opposition makes the abolition likely only for Namibia, where only a few U.S. firms would be affected. •Public pressure to force U.S. corpora tions investing in South Africa to up grade their treatment of Black employ ees. A W hite House conference with key industry leaders to discuss this and other possibilities is now under consideration. Sources confirm that the basic writing of the State Department review is being done by Donald Peterson, the principle author of Kissinger's major African pol icy messge delivered in Lusaka, Zambia, last April. Peterson refuses to discuss the project. But knowledgeable sources say it may include additional policy options aimed specifically at demonstrating American resolve to bring majority rule to Rhod esia. The Carter Administ ration has already gone on record favoring repeal of the Byrd Amendment, the legislation that allowed U.S. imports of Rhodesian miner als in violation of U N sanctions. Passage of the repeal became almost certain recently when the powerful stainless steel industry dropped its opposition because U.S. manufacturers can now obtain the alloys they have been getting Rhodesia from a new Union Carbide plant in South Africa. Other options include: •Young's proposal to reopen the stilled Geneva talks through prior consultations involving Britain, the U.S., the front-line African states plus Nigeria and Zaire-but without South Africa and Rhodesia; • A t least partial U.S. recognition of the Patriotic Front, the group that recently won front-line state recognition as the legitimate representative of the Zim babwe (Rhodesian) people; •Pressuring U.S., British and Dutch oil corporations to cut off Rhodesia's oil supply in an effort to cripple the Ian Smith government; •Closing the Rhodesian information office in Washington, the only official Rhodesian agency operating outside Southern Africa.

GRAND OPENING TALKING DRUM BOOKSTORE This year, after the installation of $60,000,000 worth of air cleaning equip ment, Pacific Power's Dave Johnston plant, near Glenrock, Wyoming has stopped smoking. The first three units at the plant are now connected to giant air cleaners— “electro static precipitators’’--that remove the fly ash.The result is a power plant without smoke. Only Unit Four, which is equipped with a "wet scrubber" system of ash re moval, will produce any indication the plant is operating.. .and that's only steam, which evaporates quickly. The Dave Johnston air improvement this case the remodeling of an older power plant, cost a lot of money. And those costs will sooner or later show up in higher electric bills. Pacific will continue to work to improve the environmental performance of its plants and mines in Wyoming and elsewhere. It’ll be expensive... but, as at Dave Johnston plant, you know you’re getting your money’s worth. It works. No smoke. p ro je c t, in 1634 N X Alb.rto SI.
