INDIANAPOLIS — The largest and most efficient steam-electric generating unit ever built by an investor-owned public utility will be constructed at Lawrenceburg, on the Ohio river, by Indiana & Michigan Electric company. This was announced here this at a joint press conference conducted by Governor Matthew E. Welsh and R. E. Doyle, Jr., vice president and general manager of I&M, a major operating company of the American Electric Power System. The governor termed the announcement “a tremendous boost for the economy of southeastern Indiana" and congratulated I&M for the company’s "faith in the future growth and prosperity of the Hoosier State.” The 580,000-kilowatt, $73-million unit will be the fourth at I&M’s Tanners Creek plant at Lawrenceburg. Construction will begin this summer and is expected to be completed by the spring of 1964. The new facility will be designed to operate at an anticipated heat rate of about 8,500 British thermal units per kilowatt hour of heat generation—a new record in the efficiency of the conversion of the energy of coal into electrical energy. The unit is expected to burn about 1,600,000 tons of coal annually, all of which will be delivered via river barge. The private utility industry’s largest units operating today are two generating machines with in-

dividual capabilities of 500,000 kw. Both of them are on the seven- . state AEP system, both are world leaders in generating efficiency, and one of them is an l&M unit. This is the single unit at the new Breed plant on the Wabash river near Sullivan, dedicated last October. The new unit at Tanners Creek, upon its completion, will raise that station’s total generating capability to 1,105,000 kw. At that level and at that time, it will be the AEP system’s largest power plant and one of the major plants in the investor-owned utility industry. As a yardstick of comparison, onlyone privately owned power plant in operation today—also an Indiana plant—is larger. This is the 1,300,-000-kw Cliffy Creek plant of the Indiana-Kentucky Electric Corporation (of which I&M is a part owner) 65 miles downstream at Madison. I&M provides electric service to a population of 1,360,000 in 167 communities and rural areas in northern and east-central Indiana and southwestern Michigan. In turn, it is part of the AEP system, which serves about 5,350,000 people in parts of seven states: Ohio, Kentucky, West Virginia, Virginia and Tennessee, as well as Indiana and Michigan. “The electric-power requirements of the I&M and AEP systems’ customers generally have been doubling every ten years,” Doyle said. “This fact—coupled with the recently announced 30-year interconnection agreement providing for an exchange of electric power between I&M and Indianapolis Power & Light company—led to our decision to begin construction of this new facility at Tanners Creek.” Plans also call for construction of 186 circuit miles of 345,000-volt transmission line and necessary substation facilities at an addition,al cost of over sl2 million, Doyle said. These new lines will route the additional capacity from Tanners Creek into the I&M power system and, in turn, into the balance of the AEP* System, as well as into the Indianapolis Power & Light system. I&M today operates a backbone transmission network totaling almost 700 circuit miles of 345,000-volt lines. In addition to the Tanners Creek and Breed plants, I&M also operates the 390.000-kw Twin Branch plant near Mishawaka and several | smaller plants. Completion of the ' Tanners Creek addition will increase the company’s generating capability to more than 2,000,000-kw ■ and that of the entire AEP System ■ to more than 8,000,000-kw. Tanners

Creek's first two units, each with a capacity of 155,000-kw, were placed in commercial operation in 1951-62; its 215,000-kw third unit went in service in 1954. Castro Foes i Set Fire To Havana Stores t HAVANA (UPD — Foes of Pre- . »nier Fidel Castro set fire to two 1 government-seized Woolworth 10- > cent stores Tuesday night and | j bombed two other nationalized re- J tail centers in the biggest outbreak ; of anti-Castro sabotage in downtown ’ Havana since New Year's. The fires, apparently set by de-J layed-action phosphorus charges 1 in top-floor warehouses at the two ’ stores, started about 7 p.m. and burned until after midnight. Thick black smoke blanketed downtown Havana. A fire department spokesman blamed both blazes on “sabo- > tage.” The Castroite radio blamed ! it on “phosphorus sent by the i Yankee imperialist Central Inteli ligence Agency and placed by i traitors bought by blood-stained , Yankee gold.” A later broadcast blamed the flames on "McCarthyite (CIA Di-j i rector) Allen Dulles.” ! While firemen were fighting the two blazes, about 20 blocks apart, . bombs exploded outside the na- ’ tionalized Sears store t and the Precios Fijos department store, also government-owned. Three persons —a fireman, a special policeman and a store em- ‘ ploye — were injured fighting the 1 fires. The bombs caused no re--1 ported casualties. Damage to the £ two buildings was extensive, i . v ; Swine Tour, School • Scheduled Friday a 5 The Adams-Wells county swine ] tour and school will be held Fri- * day. according “to Leo N.
