New Snow Hurries Swirl Over State Ry United Press International I New snow flurries swirled across Indiana on a spotty basis today amid near-zero temperatures which returned to harass Hoosiers only 36 hours after the season’s first springlike weather.

Frank Freimann said Monday the “threats” by the General Accounting Office to reclaim the alleged overcharges were “unfair, 1 invalid and undemocratic.” He said the contracts were “fixed price contracts” awarded Magnavox as low bidder in the competition. Last Friday, the GAO in its report to Congress said Magnavox developed its $3 million price proposal on the basis that it would buy the spare parts from another supplier and estimated the prices would be the same as those accepted by the other firm for a smaller order placed the year before. (• 1 “However,” the GAO said, “the supplier had since reduced those i prices and had twice stated to Magnavox that it would accept lower prices for new orders.” Trade in a good town — Decatur

No Need For Government In Power Industry ST. LOUIS (UPD—An official of the Edison Electric Institute of New York City Monday night told the Mississippi Valley Association banquet there was no need for the federal government to enter electric power industry. ’ Edward Vennard, vice president and managing director of the institute, said electric power during the past 30 years has become a part of the move toward a government planned economy. Government spending in this field, he said, was unnecessary. Vennard added economists agree that the amount of electrical power used by a country is the best index to the state of the nation’s economy. He pointed out that although Russia has three times the land mass of the United States, this country uses three times as much power and has five times the amount of transmission lines as Russia. He predicted the Soviet Union would never catch up with the U.S. An earlier speaker, Glade R. Kirkpatrick, retiring president of the MVA, said the storage and re-use of water would be necessary if the U.S. is to be able to meet its daily water supply needs by 1980. He said ways would have to be found to store the water that falls and to transport the water while at the same time protecting its purity. "The same gallon of water can be used over and over again many times and thus permit the available water supply of 600 trillion gallons to satisfy the demand for a much greater supply,” he said. Regarding river pollution, Kirkpatrick said the country was about 10 years behind in keeping up with the protection of its rivers. He said cities which remove 80 to 85 per cent of the impurities from sewage are considered to be doing a good job. A great deal of research needs to be done before ways are found to remove new chemicals from sewage before discharging it into rivers, he said.

(UPD —Mediators were scheduled to meet today with union and management representatives in an attempt to break a stalemate in talks to end the Studebaker-Packard strike of 6,500 workers.

Jack Navlan, state mediator, said washup time was the main issue but added that several other issues in the new contract hinged on agreement on the washup period. He said the federal and state mediators met separately with union and management Monday but reported no progress. He said a meeting with UAW officials was I set for this morning and a joint meeting was tentatively scheduled for the afternoon.
