EPA issues'effluent guidelines'

c. 1980 N.Y. Times News Service WASHINGTON The Environmental Protection Agency proposed Friday stringent new rules requiring iron and steel producers to cut down substantially on the toxic substances and other pollutants they discharge into the nation’s water. The new “effluent guidelines,” as the rules are called, could cost the industry, already suffering from a capital shortfall, about $1 billion over the next 10 years, the agency estimated. An official of the American Iron and Steel Institute said that the industry probably would ask the incoming Reagan administration to stretch out the deadlines for compliance with the rules in order to ease the capital squeeze on steel companies, which, he said, is affecting their ability to compete with foreign producers. The environmental agency also announced Friday proposed new rules for controling acidic water and other wastes from coal mines and coal cleaning plants. Douglas M. Costle, the administrator of EPA, said that the new rules “would insure that expanded coal production does not occur at the expense of clean waterways.” The new rules for the steel industry, promulgated

Friends, dignitaries pay final tribute to Beth Bowen

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) A former housekeeper says Indiana’s first lady enjoyed life and liked having people in her home. And it was in the governor’s residence where scores of visitors came Friday well-wishers, politicians and friends who gathered to pay respects to Beth Bowen, 62, the day after she died. Mrs. Bowen’s death ended a three-year battle against a painful bone marrow disease. A harpist played as legislators, staff and guests lined up to speak to, shake hands with or to hug dewy-eyed Gov. Otis B. Bowen and the Bowen children, Robert, 28, Timothy, 32. Judith McGrew, 33, and Richard. 36, and their spouses. Outside, flags flew at halfstaff. Inside, visitors signed guest books in the entryway that houses a large color picture of the governor and the woman he was married to 41 years. Bowen was elected in 1972 and again in 1976, the first governor in this century to be elected to two consecutive terms. He is barred by statute from seeking a third. In the kitchen, household staff recalled a kind, frugal woman who taught them how to cook, crochet and save money during her eight years as a popular first lady of a popular governor. “She was one of the sweetest people I know,” said Susie Hicks, 68, who was the governor's housekeeper before she retired in 1976. “I think she enjoyed life and enjoyed people in her own home.” But she said Mrs. Bowen was a thrifty woman who would sometimes sew her own clothes and “cut costs on everything.” Greta Byrd, 23, was a maid for the Bowens two years before moving to Kentucky in April 1980. “She (Mrs. Bowen) taught me how to cook, how to crochet and how to needlepoint,” the

former maid said. Mrs. Bowen used to knit or do handiwork in the gallery of the House of Representatives while her husband presided as speaker. The governor’s 71-vear-old cook, Alvania West, said Mrs. Bowen “taught me how to make a lot of German dishes.” Mrs. Bowen was the daughter of German immigrants. “She was everything. She was the nicest person you could know,” the cook said. Mrs. West said the first lady served as hostess to her staff at the Bowens’ home in Bremen. “I thought I was going up to work. She had me at home as a guest,” Mrs. West said, recalling her first visit to the northern Indiana home. Mrs. West’s husband, Blanche, has been a governor’s butler 14 years and a houseman 52 years. Dressed in a white jacket and black tie, he held the door as guests left. “Mrs. Bowen was one of the sweetest women in the whole world not just this whole town. She would go out of her way to help people. You’d have to look a long time to find another like her,” he said. West said Mrs. Bowen advised the Wests to keep their savings in separate accounts in case the other spouse died or suddenly became ill. West said Mrs. Bowen told him, “That’s how the governor and I do it. That’s the way we started off.” “She gave me a school on how to save. She was a saver, not a waster,” West said. The butler said the first lady would clip coupons to save money, and other staff said she would give the coupons to them. The butler said Mrs. Bowen was often in great pain from the disease, multiple myeloma, “but you didn’t know it if you could see her. She smiled to the last day. She was just sweet.”

GOP primed to take advantage of newest census statistics

c. 1981 N.Y. Times News Service WASHINGTON - The Republican Party has positioned itself, using campaign contributions, computer programs and careful planning, to take advantage of the 1980 census figures in the congressional and legislative redistricting battles that will be fought in 50 state capitals this year. The final figures are encouraging to the Republicans. Most of the 17 House seats in the North and West that will be shifted to Sun Belt states will come from the urban, traditionally Democratic parts of those states, because those are the regions that lost population. And recent Republican gains in state legislatures and governorships are expected to give the party greater influence on how the maps are drawn than it could exert after the 1970 census. Nor has the Republican effort stopped with the election. The party’s national committee is offering state parties, at nominal cost, access to its computer capacity for producing districting maps designed to

under the Clean Water Act of 1970, would require iron and steel plants to adopt the “best practical technology” to clean up a broad range of pollutants as soon as they become final probably sometime this year. “Best practicable” means, in effect, the industry average for technology. By 1984, however, the steel and iron plants will be required to use the “best available technology,” meaning the best cleanup techniques available to industry for reaching the discharge limits set forth in the proposed standards for each pollutant. These standards cover conventional pollutants, such as dissolved oxygen and solid particles, as well as toxic substances, including carcinogens and poisons such as cyanide. The new rules affect about 680 plants, which together use more than six billion gallons of water a day to process iron and steel according to the agency. The use of best available technology would reduce the discharge of toxic pollutans by over 90 percent, the agency said. However, an agency official said that even when the new rules were in place they would not necessarily achieve the Clean Air Act goal of “fishable, swimmable waters,” at all steel facilities.

An agency official said that some industry representatives had asked that the EPA hold off on issuing the new regulations until the Reagan administration took office. However, the official added that the agency was under court orders to put out the clean water rules. In its announcement, the EPA said that it was proposing control systems “at the low end” of the range it had examined in terms of the costs involved. It said that all of the capital expenditure for water pollution control by the industry over the next 10 years would be about $1.02 billion. Earl F. Young, vice president for energy and environment of the American Iron and Steel Institute, the industry trade group, said that the industry would have to see the precise numbers imposed for each pollutant before it could make a judgment on the new rules. Young noted that a tripartite industry-union-government committee recently estimated that the steel industry will have a capital shortfall of about $2 billion a year over the next four or five years. In that same period the industry will have to spend about S7OO million a year to comply with air and water pollution rules.

One suspect still at large

Two deputies, robber shot at Indy

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) - At least one of two off-duty deputies shot and killed by a suspect had no idea he was arriving at the scene of an attempted holdup, police said. The suspect, who was not immediately identified, also died from wounds received while exchanging gunfire with one of the victims, authorities said. The Marion County sheriff’s deputies slain Friday night were identified as Terry Baker and Gerald Morris, both 28. The suspect, James I. Coleman, 31, Indianapolis, also died from wounds suffered while exchanging gunfire with one of the deputies, authorities said.

Embargoed again Carter passes grain policy -- and the buck -- to Reagan

WASHINGTON (AP) - President Carter is extending the Soviet grain embargo for a second year and passing the issue to Ronald Reagan, who now says lifting the embargo as he promised during the campaign is “something for a great deal of study,” Commerce Secretary Philip Klutznick announced Friday that Carter renewed the partial embargo on U.S. grain sales to the Soviet Union only hours before it was to expire at midnight Wednesday. Reagan still could cancel the embargo after taking office Jan. 20, but the president-elect

maximize Republican strength. While Democrats in several states have equivalent technical expertise available, their party has no comparable national effort. The national focus on shifts in congressional seats, both from one region to another and between parties, is not necessarily going to be the central concern in all state capitals. Students of redistricting observe that preservation of incumbents, and state legislative rather than congressional incumbents, often takes first priority when legislatures meet. “The only time the congressional districting assumes major importance,” observed Bill Brock, the Republican national chairman, “is when the majority leader or minority leader in the legislature is cutting a deal to find a House seat for himself.” But the same sort of population shifts that will cost New York five seats and Indiana one, or add three seats in Texas or four in Florida, will be reflected in legislative power shifts within states.

The Marion County sheriff’s deputies slain Friday night were identified as Terry Baker and Gerald Morris, both 28. Coleman had several different identification cards in his possession, said Lt. Robert A. Warren of the sheriff’s office, and was identified by his brother at the hospital. “He (Baker) had no idea he was walking into a holdup,” said Warren. “We had a report of a woman being assaulted. He wasn’t in uniform and didn’t have his gun drawn when he entered the store.” Six customers and two employees at a discount clothing store on the city’s northeast

told reporters in Palm Springs, Calif., “I think this is something for a great deal of study. You have to determine whether it’s having as much effect on the Soviet Union, or if that’s being offset by a worse effect on our own agricultural communities.” During the presidential campaign, Reagan said the embargo had hurt American farmers more than it did the Kremlin and promised to end it. “I will, when elected, fully assess our national security, foreign policy and agricultural trade needs to determine how best to terminate yet another of

Although all of the final internal state-by-state totals will not be ready much before the April 1 deadline, Vincent P, Barabba, director of the Census Bureau, said Friday that it was clear that in general they would reflect significant relative declines for the nation’s older cities. “Those mayors weren’t screaming for nothing,” he said, referring to challenges to the Bureau’s totals made in several northern cities, challenges which if finally upheld by the courts could alter the details, though not the general thrust of the results of redistricting. Both the reapportionment of congressional seats among states, and the redrawing of congressional and legislative district lines within them, will have a similar partisan impact, according to Robert M. Teeter, president of Market Opinion Research. Teeter, whose Detroit firm does polling for Republicans and is also heavily involved in preparing computerized district mapping for states and state political parties, said “There are going to be less seats

Trial of hostages threatened again

By The Associated Press Tehran Radio warned again today the American hostages would be put on trial if the U.S. government failed to meet Iran’s terms, labeled the incoming Reagan administration a “Zionist clique” and said unless the presidentelect comes up with a solution now “he would be making a great mistake.” “The U.S.A. is obliged to solve this problem,” the radio said as the 52 Americans spent their 427th day in captivity. “Naturally the problem will be solved only if Western wishful thinking to one side the U.S.A. were to accept Iran’s proposals. “If the U.S.A. thinks that Iran will show more lenience in the matter, it is greatly mistaken. It would be better for it not to embark on such a dangerous experiment. In such an event the U.S.A. would witness the trial of the American hostages and the disgrace of the imperialist policies in the region and in Iran.” The radio said because President Carter lost to Reagan in the U.S. election “he deems it unnecessary to haggle for the freedom of the hostages but would rather that the problem thathas defeated him burden Reaganalso.... “What can be forecast is that by Jan. 20, when the Carter administration vacates the White House for the Zionist clique of Reagan, the issue of the hostages will remain as it is now, at an impasse. The Reagan administration would then have to find a solution to it, at the beginning of its term. “But, if Reagan does not think up something for the issue right now, and relies on the wishful thinking that the Iranian government might show more leniency, he would be making a great mistake.” On Friday, the Algerian intermediaries arrived in Tehran with Carter’s counteroffer to Iran’s demand that $24 billion be deposited in the Algerian Central Bank for the hostages’ release. Tehran Radio said the Americans were prepared to put $6 billion in the Algerian bank to cover Iran’s money demand. Informed U.S. sources said the figure was closer to sl2 billion. Tehran Radio on Friday also praised the Carter administration for its “calm tone” and “quick reaction” in the negotiations and

side were being tied up when Baker entered the store, Warren said. “He said something like, ‘I guess I’m in the wrong place,’ and started to walk out,” said Warren. “We think he was trying to bluff his way out. ” Baker’s effort did not work, and he was shot at close range in the back of the head, Warren said. “We believe the suspect made him as a policeman,” Warren said, adding that Baker was eating a sandwich iA a nearby restaurant when he heard the report of a woman being beaten. That report came after wit-

the inequitable and ineffective policies of the Carter administration,” Reagan said on July 3. The Republican Party platform called for the embargo to “be terminated immediately.” The embargo was first imposed one year ago this weekend in response to the Soviet military occupation of Afghanistan, and Klutznick said the extension was justified by the Red Army’s “continued presence” there. The embargo is only partial. It blocked shipment of about 17 million metric tons of U.S. wheat and corn scheduled for export to the Soviet Union in the

claimed U.S. officials regarded Reagan’s tough talk on the hostage issue as the rantings of a “political cowboy.” Later, however, the state radio put out conflicting statements on the hostages and one commentary was cut off twice. The first broadcast said Iran could clearly see that the U.S. government had implicitly accepted all the terms laid down for the hostages’ release. But almost immediately the speaker was cut off. Ninety minutes later another commentary said it was clear the United States was not prepared to take any positive steps to have the hostages released and “their trial could now expose more than ever the ugly face of American imperialism and demonstrate the legitimacy of Iran’s claims.” Still later, however, the first commentary was rebroadcast and again cut off at the same point. The U.S. government informed Iran this week that Jan. 16 four days before Inauguration Day was the last practical day for reaching a settlement with Carter, officials in Washington said. They stressed, however, that the administration actually would need more time than that to begin shifting Iranian bank assets and to carry out other aspects of a settlement. “It’s a fact of life that the clock is ticking,” State Department spokesman John H. Trattner said Friday. He also gave assurances the Reagan administration would carry out any remaining, unimplemented provisions provided there is an agreement by Jan. 20. “Obviously, there are certain parts of what we have proposed that would require more time than remains in this administration,” Trattner said. “If the Iranians and the United States agree to this kind of proposal, then it would carry beyond Jan. 20.” Trattner said Reagan and his aides had indicated several times “they would accept any arrangements agreed to by this administration before they take office.” However, Reagan presumably could decide to scrap the current proposals if an agreement is not concluded by Inauguration Day.

nesses saw the suspect struggling with a female clerk, who had tried to escape, and reported it to police, Warren said. Morris, who was in uniform, was working nearby as a private security guard at the time of the shooting. Warren said he exchanged shots with the suspect and was able to make it back to his patrol car to notify the dispatcher he had been shot. “Morris died from a bullet fired from Baker’s weapon,” Warren said. “The suspect had apparently emptied his weapon and picked up Baker’s.” Baker died at the scene, while Morris, wounded in the throat, and the suspect died in St. Vin-

Eight million more metric tons is being shipped under the pact in the current crop year A metric ton is about 2,205 pounds and is equal to 39.4 bushels of corn or 36.7 bushels of wheat. Some soybeans and soybean products also were embargoed, as were more than 11 million pounds of frozen whole chickens that the Agriculture Department wound up buying for

in core Democratic areas, and more seats in suburban growth areas, swing areas.” “I’m not sure you’re going to have any more seats that are core Republican,” he said. Similarly, Brock argued that while Democratic legislatures in Florida and Texas might be able to minimize Republican gains in congressional delegations, the new representatives would reflect “change in philosophy” from the ones who will be losing their seats. “They will be more growth-oriented, and conservative economically,” he said, than congressmen from older cities “with serious city problems.’ ’ But that conservatism, he said, would not be uniform. Some of the growth is in Houston, he said, but it can also be found in places like Sarasota, Fla. He said the new congressmen are “going to be very interested in the elderly” and, in many cases, in the environment.

cent’s Hospital, Warren said. The people in the store were not hurt and were freed when additional deputies arrived. Baker, assigned to patrol car duty, had been with the department 4Vfe years, Sheriff James Wells said. He is survived by his wife and 2-year-old daughter. Wells said Morris, who was single, had been with the department two years. “Neither officer was dispatched to the scene by our department.” Wells said. “They responded quickly to a call for help on their own. It was just unfortunate we did not really know what was happening at the time.”

donation to hospitals, nursing homes and other institutions. Shipments of phosphates for fertilizer, oil and gas equipment and parts for a truck plant also were blocked. One reason was an accompanying government program to buy up or otherwise divert from the market all the grain that would not be going to the Soviets. In all, around $3 billion was spent or committed including $5.5 million for the chickens to soak up the food that had been embargoed.
