Involved is the structure of Of The Public By JACK ANDERSON The deeper the WASHINGTON Navy delves into the Pueblo affair, the more compelling is the evidence that admirals should be on some swivel-chai- r trial. area, They dispatched a slow, undefended, ship into troubled waters to spy on North Korea. She was loaded with electronic gear, tapes and documents so secret that even the skipper, Commander Pete Bucher, wasnt permitted Lloyd full access. Yet, in case of capture, sledge hammers were the only available destruction devices, and the documents had to be stuffed into weighted canvas bags and dumped overboard. electric power development for the next Machine guns were mounted on board, but Bucher was ordered to keep them tightly covered in sensitive waters to avoid suspicion. Despite three warnings from the irascible North Koreans immediately before the seizure, the admirals neither withdrew the Pueblo nor took steps to protect her. Half a dozen Air Force fighters, which had been kept on strip alert in South Korea to protect a sister spy ship on a less provocative mission, were left in Okinawa 900 miles away while the Pueblo cruised off the North - Korean coast. When the Pueblo was first intercepted and circled by two North Korean vessels, the radio officer couldnt raise Navy headquarters in Japan for 14 hours. The message didnt reach the Pentagon for 25 hours 35 minutes. The nuclear submaScorpion Affair rine Scorpion disappeared in the Atlantic last May. For five months, the Navy searched the ocean bottom in vain for the wreckage until the Russians helpfully pointed out where the Scorpion had gone down. The untold truth is that the Soviet Navy kept better track of the Scorpion than did our own Navy. When the Israelis Liberty Affair ripped into their Arab neighbors in June 3967, two warnings were dispatched to the spy ship Liberty to clear out of the area. The first message W'as delivered to the Naval communications station in the Philippines. The second at least reached the Mediterranean but was erroneously routed to a relay station in Morocco. Meanwhile, Israeli planes, mistaking the Liberty for an Egyptian ship, bombed it and killed 34 crewmen. Arnheiter Affair Lt. Comdr. Marc Arnheiter, the gung-hskipper of the picket ship Vance, upset some junior officers by attacking enemy targets on the Vietnam coast too aggressively and by cracking down on his crew's lax ways. These complaints to a Navy chaplain resulted in Arnheiter's summary dismissal. He demanded the right to face his accusers at a Despite nationwide publicity, the admirals, rather than risk embarrassment in an open court, refused Arnheiter his hearing. Alexander Affair Capt. Richard Alexander, one of the Navys most promising officers, who had been given of the battleship New Jersey, felt And.eitei had received a raw deal. Troubled by his conscience, he put his careei 011 Hie line and protested to the Secretary of the Navy over Arnheiters treatment.

Bonneville Power has forecast a tripling of power demand by 1990 in the Columbia Drainage Basin, which it serves. Noting that all the best hydroelectric generating sites will already have been developed in the region by 1980, BPA foresees a necessity to build coal, oil, or nuclear-powere- d steam plants to handle most of the increasing power demand. The vast majority of power generated in the Northwest now comes from water-drive- n turbines. With many of them subsidized with federal funds, power rates there are by far the lowest in the nation. BPA proposes to keep Northwest rates low by subsidizing huge thermal power plants of at least 1,000 megawatts (a billion watts) capacity. Too large to be built by any single company in the Northwest as part of its own system expansion, BPA says, a series of such vast generating centers could be built and their output integrated into the entire Northwest, year by year. Rather than ask to build its own steam power plants in the manner of the Tennessee Valley Authority, Bonneville Power Administration would avoid a direct public versus - private pow'er clash by buying power from the private utilities to support the billion kilowatt hour a year growth of its municipal and cooperative customers. Less federal cash would be required than building power plants and the area could be benefited by integrating its entire power grid. Steam plants could absorb the entire base power load, with federal and private hydro facilities used to supply power during times of high peaking power demand. Since steam plants run most economically at full constant power and hydro generators may be easily turned on and off for peaking, such Integration would offer obvious advantages to the entire region. The carrot held before the private utilities would, of course, mean that the private companies would be giving a new lease on life to the public power agencies giving them new sources of power for their own expansion without the necessiof financing major generating plants of their own. ty The effect of the proposed BPA guarof large amounts of anteed purchase At Enemy's power from private or municipal plants, plus other advantages the agency could offer, might be worth as mm.., as ten per cent of the cost of a $140 million power plant. Where costs are figured in 10 hundredths of a mill, $14 million would be a strong lever in giving BPA influence over location and timing of new private construction in its area. Since Utah Power and Light Co. serves a wide area of northern Utah and southeastern Idaho, which is within the BPA marketing region, UP&L eventually could expect to take part in the program an expectation that could easily affect the companys plans for future power developments. With the new Northwest-Southweintertie now about to be comnew sources of cheap Northwest pleted, power could affect all of the U.S. west of the Continental Divide, and could inject new factors into planning for such projects as the Kaiparowits plant, now planned for southern Utah. If the BPA were to contract with Utah Power for one or more 1,000 megawatt power plants, taking all of the initial surplus power and repaying in cheap hydro power, rates in the state could be brought down dramatically. For Utah, w'here power now costs almost six mills integration into the per kilowatt-hour- , BPA system could cut the price by a third, according to the BPA report The state could attract more industry, and enter a new growth period based upon not new lower power costs. Writh a tie-ito the big Kaparowits contemplated, power plant and its three mill power, rates might fall even lower. But it would, of course, be subsidized power. st By HAROLD LUNDSTROM Deseret News Music Editor More than 200 ALL STOPS OUT organists are expected to attend the regional convention of the American Guild of Organists Col- (AGO), Ricks lege in Rexburg this weekend (21-22- The convention no small a c c o mplishment for Ricks College to acnicve is being sponsored by the Ricks Student Chapter.

All-stat- e Phyllis Curtin, Metropolitan Opera Capabilities By RUTHVEN E. LIBBY Vice Admiral, U.S. Navy (Ret.) The most dangerous error a nation can commit is to underestimate the military capabilities of its adversaries. The next most dangerous error is to base ones defense posture on a hope of what the enemy may decide to do, rath-ethan on what he can do. In the case of Red China, the United States has been guilty of the first mistake (and of the second in Korea). With respect to the Soviet Union, we have committed both errors in the past, and there are still those in high position In the country who seem determined to perpetuate the second. Former Secretary of Defense Robert S. McNamara set up batteries of computers, maintained a stable of whiz kids and spent hundreds of billions of dollars during the seven years of his regime. Despite all this, U.S. defense posture fell to a dangerously low state. Three major assumptions appaiently controlled McNamaras decisions: Parity Military strength equal to that of Russia rather than superior to it was the way to obtain security. 1. rulers are basically reahonorable sonable, people, genuinely interested in easing world tensions and in reducing the burden of heavy expenditures for military purposes.

With respect to the growing menace of Red China, there should be no doubt in anyones mind as to the intentions of Chairman Mao Tse-tun-g and his cohorts. The free world in general, and the United States in particular, will do well to remind themselves that the Red Chinese (and Mao teaches) leadership believes that once man has eliminated capitalism he will attain the era of perpetual peace, and there wall be no need for w ar. Tlieie after and ior all time mankind will never again know war." But, Mao adds, this happy state can be achieved only by force of arms ; hence it is the sacred duty of every Communist to work toward the destruction of capitalism by every possible means, including war.
