PPL Joins 9 Utility Companies In Sponsoring 2 -Year Nuclear Power Generating Plant Study Pacific Power & Light Com pany and nine other western util ity companies announced co-sponsorship of a two-year study pro gram directed to the technologi cal problems and economics of utilizing a 250.000-kilowatt capa city nuclear-powered generating plant on a typical electric com pany system. Hof f a Attorneys Prepare Appeal To Judge's Order NASHVILLE, Tenn. IUPD Do-, fense attorneys plan to appeal the refusal of a federal judge to dis miss a jury tampering indictment against Teamsters President James P.. Hoffa or grant him a change of venue. Attorney James Haggerty' said he will appeal the ruling of U.S Dist. Judge Frank Gray Jr. to the U.S. 6th Circuit Court of Ap peals in Cincinnati. The defense contends the indict ment should be thrown out be cause of alleged illegal improper activity on the part of govern ment agents. It says Hoffa could not possibly get a fair trial here because of "prejudcial" public ity. meetings of the grand jury which returned the indictment. Gray said however, "the charge that an unauthorized person was present while the grand jury was in session. . .was not substantiated." In describing the study gram, D. R. McClung. PP&Li president, said the investigations are another forward step in the company's continued interest the advancements being made in civilian nuclear technology. 'The study program will help our industry be prepared for the time in the future when nuclear- filed steam generating plants might become competitive with modern and efficient coal or oil fired steam - electric power plants," McClung said. McClung noted PP&L operates large-capacity coal-fired plant in Wyoming and expects to util-j izc coal in that Rocky Mountain stale for many years. In the states of Oregon and Washington, he added, coal and oil fuels are of higher cost and the company should look at the possibility that nuclear-fired plants may be more economic when they are needed to back up the low-cost hydro electric based systems. Living Cost Hikes Again WASHINGTON (UPll The Labor Department reported Fri day that the cost of living rose to a new all-lime high last month ;Study program will be co-spon sored in association with General Atomic Corporation, the firm that pro-steam under high-pressure high-temperature conditions com parable to steam produced m modern oil or coal-fired power plants. McClung said the new study program w ill be based on the as sumption that a 250.000-kilowatt nuclear plant was to be operated on the system of Public Service Company of Colorado. He said the Colorado utility, which serves a state adjacent to PP&L's Wyo ming System, is generally typical of the participating western companies. "We arc concentrating on the design and operating character istics and the economic potential! he added. The information from the tech nical and economic studies will be available to Pacific Power in making system power supply comparisons with the Pacific Power s steam-electric operationl in Wyoming and its hydroelectric SKOPLJE, Yugoslavia (UPII The survivors, bewildered and still numb, talk today of nothing but the dead.

Some say thousands of (his city's 200,- 000 residents perished among the uncountable tons of rock, con crete and steel sent tumbling by the tremor. No one really wants to talk about individuals.

Hoffa and ten others have pleaded innocent to charges of at tempting to "corruptly influence" jurors in Hoffa's trial last year on charges of accepting an illegal payoff from a trucking firm.

In this orbit, the! moonlct was completing one cir cuit very 23 hours 28 minutes. The orbit period nearly matched the rotation speed of earth an effect which makes Syncom-2 ap pear to remain almost stationary in one part of the sky. Actually, space agency officials' said, Syncom-2 Saturday was drifting slightly to the east at the rate of 7.5 degrees per day. This "drift" is what they will try to halt in a series of correction maneuvers scheduled to begin this! weekend. The satellite was equipped wilh small gas jets that can be trig. gcrcd from ground stations. Even- tually, the experts hope to get Svncom-2 in a position where its speed will exactly match carth'sl rotation or, a "24-hour orbit. In that position, the moonlct1 ill remain an ever-present tar get in the sky for communica-i tions tests between a ground sta-! lion at Lnkchurst, N.J., and a mittee have been invited to sit in.

A bipartisan congres sional delegation will be asked to accompany him, although no de finite arrangements have been made. Power Saws Prohibited ALTURAS - Bill Cooperrider, forest supervisor of the Modoc Na tional Forest, has announced that beginning Aug. 1, the use of pow er saws for cutting dead, dry wood in Modoc National Forest will be prohibited. This applies to snag fulling on timber sales as well. An exception to this fire closure is the "low hazard" juniper area within the Devils Garden. Persons interested in cutting fire wood in Mansfield, a member of the Senate Foreign Relations Commit tee which will act on the treaty, said the President's "very good" speech pointed out that the agree ment "represents a breakthrough in the cold war and could, if properly observed by both sides, be the first brcaK in the clouds in many years.' He warned that "it would be wrong to make too much of this agreement." But, he said, "even more, it would be w rong to make too little of it.' Sen.
