AEC Receives Complaint That Labor Figure Threatened

Butz Says Supply Enough To Meet Demands

VALPARAISO Ind. (AP)The U.S. Atomic Energy Commission’s Safety and Licensing Board has passed along to the AEC charges that a northwestern Indiana labor figure threatened a witness in a public hearing on a proposed nuclear power plant near V alparaiso. The committee reopened hearings Tuesday on the proposed Bailly Generating Station of Northern Indiana Public

Service Co.

The alleged threat came to light at the reopening of the hearing. Edward W. Osann Jr., attorney for environmentalists

and others opposing the plant, introduced affidavits to the board charging that Toby Bocanegra, Portage, threatened Herbert P. Read, a Chesterton environmentalist who was Osann's lead-off witness in the

hearing.

Bocanegra, 53, was identified as the chairman of the Organized Labor Committee for Industrial Development in Northwest Indiana. The committee has supported the proposed

plant.

Read alleged in his affidavit that Bocanegra told him Sept. 4, “We almost took care of you

Mistrial Motion Denied In Dauber Murder Trial

KOKOMO Ind.(AP)—Amotion for a mistrial was denied "Won’t Bo Long’’ For Skylob Crew

SPACE CENTER Houston (AP) — “It won’t be long now,” said Skylab 2 commander Alan L. Bean. The three-man crew of the orbiting laboratory began preparations for its return to earth next Tuesday at the end of the 59-day space trip. Bean made his remark Tuesday during a discussion with mission control about procedures for flying the Apollo ferry ship after leaving the space lab. Bean, Owen K. Garriott and Jack R. Lousma also discussed with ground controllers the complicated plan for deactivating the station — shutting off some systems, turning others on and stowing equipment in preparation for a visit by the Skylab 3 crew starting Nov. 11. The astronauts completed two earth resources surveys over the United States on Tuesday. They planned another today to gather data over the Great Lakes, New York state and the Atlantic ocean. During a second survey today, they were to aim their sensors and cameras at a strip of West Germany, Switzerland, Italy and Israel. Mission control said that by the time the flight ends, the astronauts will have conducted 39 earth reoources passes, 13 more than scheduled. The extra work forced them to borrow film from the Skylab 3 supply, which will be replenished when that crew rockets to the lab.

Wednesday by Howard Circuit Fourt Judge Robert J. Kinsey in the first degree murder trial of William Dauber, 38, Valparaiso. In denying the motion. Judge Kinsey said he could not find a deliberate attempt on the part of Starke County Prosecutor David Wallsmith to enter objectionable testimony. Just prior to the defense counsel’s motion for a mistrial Tuesday, the state’s key witness made a comment that he and Dauber had gone to Chicago with Jimmy Cautura for permission to “make a hit.” It was later discovered the judge’s order applied only to those references to evidence by counsel during their aruguments outside the presence of the jury. When the trial resumed Wednesday, Judge Kinsey ordered the testimony containing references to Cautura and the word “hit” stricken from the record. The judge told the jurors that the answers were not relevant and should not be considered in their deliberations. In ruling on the motion before the jury was called into the courtroom, Judge Kinsey said the word “hit” was not a reference to baseball. Defense counsel Gerald Alch did not object to the testimony Tuesday until the witness said “hit.” The judge then ordered the jury into the chamber. On Wednesday, the judge ordered on his own motion that the jury be sequestered for the remainder of the trial. The motion for mistrial was made Tuesday by Alch, who asked for and received an order from the judge to restrict press coverage of the evidence referred to in the motion for a mistrial.

Three Persons Killed One Injured By Fire

CHICAGO(AP) — Three persons were killed and one was injured late Tuesday when fire swept through a two-story frame building on the South Side. Police said the injured youth Cary Madlom, 17, told authorities that he and the others were sniffing paint thinner in the abandoned tavern on the first floor when the fire broke out. He said the fire started when one of those at the “sniffing party” lit a match near the

paint thinner. The dead were identified as Jerry Malnowski, 26; Ricardo Ontiveros, 20; and Patrick Conlin, 20, who lived above the tavern. All the victims were from Chicago. Madlom told authorities that a five-gallon can of paint thinner was poured into a large container and stired with a stick to spread the fumes throughout the room. Then, “all of a sudden, the whole room was in flames,” he said.

before; I had it all set up." Read’s wife, Charlotte, president of the Porter County Chapter of the Izaak Walton League of America, said in a separate affidavit that Bocanegra told her on the same day that, “We are going to get him (her hus-

band).”

Osann submitted the affidavits as part of a motion asking the AEC committee to hold NIPSCO in contempt because the utility “has encouraged or condoned conduct by one of its associates constituting harassment of a key witness.” Attorneys for NIPSCO denied the utility has any connection with Bocanegra. Jerome Garfmkel, chairman of the committee, said the three-member board will not rule on Osann’s contempt motion for at least a week. He said he has passed Osann’s charges and supporting documents along to the AEC with the expectation that the commission will in turn refer them to the Justice Depart-

ment.

Stock Market Rings Up Sharp Gains

Cousins "Publisher Of Year”

NEW YORK (AP) — Norman Cousins, editor of Saturday Re-view-World, has been named publisher of the year by the Magazine Publishers Association. Cousins received Tuesday the association’s Henry Johnson Fisher Award, named for the late board chairman of the McCall Corp. The presentation came at a symposium on “America’s Right to Know” at Carnegie Hall. Cousins was editor of Saturday Review for more than three decades before he quit in 1972 when the magazine was sold to a California-based group. Cousins later bought back Saturday Review and combined it with World, which he had founded in the meantime.

Compromise Pension Bill Ready For Senate

WASHINGTON (AP) — A compromise pension reform bill was ready for Senate action yesterday. Senate leaders said they were hopeful of obtaining a final vote, although numerous amendments remained to be disposed of. The compromise merges the provisions of separate \ersions from the Labor and Finance committees. Several senators interested in making individual changes in the bill said they were prepared to offer their amendments yesterdav. There seemed to be little chance, however, that any of the basic protections of the bill would be weakened. These would establish vesting standards for the 40 million Americans covered by private pension plans, mandate that the plans be adequately funded, establish a government insurance program to make pension payments where a company goes out of business or a plan has insufficient assets, set up a voluntary portability program to enable an employe to transfer pension rights from one company to another and tighten standards for fiduciaries and trustees of pension funds.

Sen. Harrison A. Williams Jr.,D-N.J. chief sponsor of the bill, said two-thirds of Americans covered by private pension plans have no vested rights — meaning no guarantees that they will receive their pensions. Reasons, he said, include a requirement that an employe work with a company until he is 65 or some other specified age to draw benefits, or a requirement that a worker have a lengthy period of service with a company to qualify.

MONTREAL (AP) — Strikes in Canada’s newsprint industry have meant the loss of about 250,000 tons of production so far this year, a spokesman for the Canadian Pulp and Paper Association said ytsterday. He noted that this is a small percentage of Canada’s total annual output of about 10 million tons. But he said it came at a time of heavy demand for big fall issues of newspapers and magazines. He also pointed out that customers in the United States are suffering most because the struck companies export most of their newsprint to the United States. The strikes have hit Abitibi Paper Ltd., Canadian International Paper and Price Co. Ltd. and forced newspapers and magazines in the United States and Canada to suspend some editions, limit the size of publications or curtail press runs. Demands for higher wages and increased benefits have been paramount in the disputes between the companies and their employes, most of whom belong to the United Paperworkers International Union. The spokesman for the pulp and paper association said it is unlikely that the lost production can be made up in a year in which North American mills have been operating at near capacity to meet heavy demands for newsprint. Newsprint users will probably have to watch their consumption this fail, but shortages will be alleviated, he added. The strike against Abitibi was settled earlier this month, but CIP mills in Quebec and New Brunswick are still closed, and the wage dispute continues.

the highest possible consumption figure to arrive at his projected deficit." However, the IWC issued a revised statement Wednesday saying the shortage apparently has been reduced to between three million and six million tons during the 1973-74 period. It cited record wheat productions in Canada and expected increased wheat production in Australia and said, “the overall supply situation of food grains, course grains and vegetable protein feeds seems to

have taken a turn for the better." Butz said that not only do grain supplies appear enough to meet import demands but there could be some increase. “If the world production situation continues to improve in Canada, India, Russia, and some other important area and if some institutional barriers can be overcome — there could be additional grain available beyond minimal requirements,” Butz said.
