(UPI) — It will take more than high-riced promotions and big-buck advertising to get the residents of this northwest Louisiana cityto give up their shrimp crawfish, fried chicken and ice cream But that’s exactly what Louisiana politicians want to do to prove that a proper diet could cut the city's death rate by 10 percent. “‘In effect, what you're trying to do is put the whole town on a diet.” said Gov. Edwin Edwards, who announced Tuesday thestate will put up $40.000 for the unusualnutritional study Natchitoches, the oldest town in the Louisiana Purchase territory, has been selected by nutritionist Dr. Nathan Pritikin as the site of a year-long experiment on the relationship of a lowcholesterol, high-fiber diet to heart disease and cancerofthe digestive tract But some residents. who admit they've pigged out more than once on Big Macs and frenchfries, Sayit will take a mighty effort to convince the city’s oan dwellers to change their eating hal ANTI-ABORTION eeTeenyben the thousands march near the Trea: ashington, D.C., enroute to the Capitol onSen mS anniversary of the Supreme Court decision recognizing women’s Constitutional right to abortion.

I think they'll need to justify their reasons forit."” And would he give Up3a juicy steak for a crisp lettuce salad? “I pretty much eat what I want,” Graham said. Dietitians, insurance companies and the state agreed to coordinate the experiment, which will attempt to wean Natchitoches residents from fat, red meat and eggs to the high-fiber, lowcholesterol fare prescribed in Pritikin’s best-selling diet and exercise book. Protest High Court Decision The governor, a Cajun who likes spicy gumbo and seafood, admitted some of the diet food was not haute cuisine. “T think I’d just as soon die 10 years earlier as eatthat stuff, butit is a noble experiment,” he said. Is the epee striking fear into thegrills and grease of the majorfastfood chains? “tT would tend to doubt it very seriously,”’ said Steve Ciaccio, a managerof one downtownfranchise.‘‘I don’tthink it’s entirely a bad idea to try to better people’s eating habits, but I think ourfood is pretty eating.” “If they could get them to stop eating meat — boy — I’m telling you, i don’t want to see that,” said Matt Bisell, another restaurant manager. Pritikin’s researchers have computed the death rate for Natchitoches residents for the past 10 years. After a year of eating low-cholesterol foods, their death rate will be compared to that of the demographically similar By JERELYN EDDINGS United Press International Thousands of anti-abortion activists handed outred roses in Washington and other cities across the nation, while their opponents delivered applepies to legislators in California and held marches, news conferences andrallies. All of the hoopla Tuesday was to mark the seventh anniversary of Supreme Court’s decision to make abortions legal, a ruling thatstill spurs emotions and political activism on beth sides of the issue. ‘The largest demonstration was in Washington, D.C., where thousands of anti~abortion activists from across the nation marched in a steady, drizzling rain from the White House to the Capitol and chanted, “‘Life,life life.”” They wore red roses, a ‘‘symbol of the beauty of life,’ and carried placards denouncing the Supreme Court decision.

Windfall Funds Decision Awaited From the Congress WASHINGTON (UPI) — President Carter's call for an Olympic boycott has drawn wide support from both liberals and conservatives in Congress unlike the call 45 years ago for US withdrawal from the 1936 games in It's politically motivated — in ef- fect he (Carter) assassinated the Olympic movement in the world. To say this is 1936 all over again means we're only a few years from World War Nazi Germany Onits first day of business in 1980 several resolutions were introduced in Congress calling for boycotts or relocation of the Games from Moscow. and Senate Democratic leader Robert Byrd and House Speaker Thomas O'Neill were confident of passage U.S. Olympics Committee Chairman Robert Kane was to testify today before the House Foreign Affairs Committee Many members, in floor speeches Tuesday likened the Soviet drive into Afghanistan to Germany's aggression in the 1930s and said foreign policy should transcend sports. Acting Senate Republican leader Ted Stevens, who said he has not made up his mind on the boycott question criticized Carter's moves as a shell game to divert attention from his failure to return the 4merican hostages from Iran and S. failure to anticipate the Soviet invasion “It’s just moving the pea under anothershell.”’ he said, noting the possibly devastating effect a U.S. boycott decision could have upon the 1980 winter gamesin Lake Placid.

(UPI) — A surprise -room-only crowd filied arural Klickitat County auditorium in Goldendale Tuesday it to hear a highly technical presentation on the namee first large-scale wind-energy roject. Representatives of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, Boeing, and the Bonneville Power Administration told the audience of farmers, business people. city and county officials, that the three electricity-generating windmills will be the largest in the world — 300-foot long blades standing atop 200-foot towers. It will be the first time a cluster of such wind-powered generators have ever been built on a single site. The three MOD 2 windmills, developed by Boeing for NASA and the federal Department of Energy will be constructed in the Goodnoe Hills about 15 miles southeast of Goldendale, a Central Washington community ofirneaedheal farms, cattle ranches, opra 200 local residents, many of them hoping to see Goldendale become the ‘Windmill Capital of the World,” filled the seats and lined the walls of the Klickitat County Public Utility District auditorium. James P. Couch, head of the MOD 2 programfor NASA’s Lewis Research Center in Cleveland, Ohio, said the ie themselves will each weigh 88 ‘tons and when turning at maximum speed of 17% rpm the bladetip will be traveling at 188 mph. All three together will generate a maximum of 2.5 megawatts,sufficient energy to provide all the electrical needsof 2,000 to 3,000 homes. The MOD 2 windmills are the fourth generation of windmills developed through the Department of Energy. The Boeing Engineering and Construction Co. of seattlemlpaula the giant windmills, l_beoperated by the BPANae NASA Energy generated will be transmitted into the BPA Northwest power pool. Thefirst windmill is expected to cost $48 million. Uris 2 aod Sareea to cost $4.3 million.

Delays in the construction of five publiclyowned nuclear power plants in Washington forced the federal powermarketing authority to raise Klickitat County’s utility rates 35 percent in December. The Goodnoe Hills site was selected last August from among 17 sites submitted to the Energy Department nau the nation. BPA expects to take over operation of the firstuunit Dec. 19. Units 2 and 3 are scheduled to go on line in March and Mayof 1981. During construction of the giant windmills a visitor center at the site will be powered by an Enertech wind turbine, one of 12 small windmills also to be constructed in the county. Roy Nishi, BPA Walla Walla area power manager, said the 12 windmills in that pilot project are to cost approxi-, mately $8,000 apiece and are to generate 2,200 watts each, an amount not even sufficient to powera hot water heater. Three-Mile Island Fallout Scraps Plants CLEVBLAND (UPI) — Five Ohio and Pennsylvania utilities have scrapped plans to build four nuclear reactors costing $7.3 billion, blaming the “uncertainty” of nuclear plant construction since the Three Mile Island accident. In addition, the groupofutilities announced Tuesdaynight they will delay the completion dates of three other reactors already under construction . “The political and regulatory uncertainties affecting the future construction of nuclear plants has intensified following the accident at Three Mile Island,” the Central Area Power Coordinating Group said in a statement. “Nuclear construction scheduled urther in the future carries greater uncertainty of eventual cost. “This uncertainty has compelled the CAPCO companies to terminate those nuclear units not yet under actual construction in order to reduce the future costs to our customers and shareowners,”’ the group added. The members of the power group, known as CAPCO, are the Cleveland Electric Illuminating Co.. Toledo Edison Co., Ohio Edison Co., Duquesne Light Co. of Pittsburgh, and Pennsylvania Power Co. The CAPCO companies serve some 2.5 million customers in northern and central Ohio and western Pennsylvania. LOMPOC,Calif.
