Power Outlook
Still Indefinite
SEATTLE W The Pacific
Northwest power outlook is on a
"week - to - week basis," L. E.
Karrer, executive vice president
of the Puget Sound Power and
Light Company, said Tuesday.
Power output now is just about
keeping pace with consumption,
he said, commenting after the
weekly telephone conference of the
area's public and private power
officials Monday. He .added:
"Next week's conference may
show a completely different situa
tion." The winter's peak load for elec
tric consumption in the Northwest
is usually reached about January
15.
J. Frank Ward, superintendent
of Tacoma City Light, another of
th conferees, said that another
power curtailment is not in sight
immediately. The mild weather
and lowered industrial and private
electricity consumption has aided
the situation, he added.
U.N. Officials Said
Angry Over U.SL"
Congress Probes
UNITED NATIONS, N. Y. (JP
U. N. officials were reported seeth
ing Tuesday over U. S. congres
sional probes that give the im
pression they are lax in dealing
wfth the problems of subversion.
They contend they move as fast
and as efficiently as cooperation
from the U. S. government's ex
ecutive branch allows.
Charges popping at a Washing
ton inquiry into the Justice De
partment's handling of a federal
grand jury investigation of the
problem were regarded here as
damaging to U. N. relations with
the American public.
For the record, high officials
would only say "no comment" But
they made no secret that they
were disturbed. They declared
testimony published Tuesday was
not new, and that they had at
tempted to deal with It before.
