' A-Plant Hysteria COMPLsTELT IGNORING the scient111cally-l sound advice of the San Francisco health officer
. that a nuclear-reactor electric plant at Bodega p
Bay would constitute no danger what6ver to milk '
produced in Sonoma County or anywhere else, a
)
self-styled committee in favor of pure milk showed j
up in Sacramento the other day to present a petition.
.{
against the proposed power plant.
The petition was presented to Acting Governor-3 Glenn Anders'on, who already had taken a stand against the power plant in.Sonoma Co6nty although he has not opposed a similar plant already built in l
,the milk-producing county of Humboldt, or suggest-I ed that the Navy be run out of Vallejo because it
'uses nuclear-powered submarines which put into Mare' Island Navy Yard.

MR. HYATT WAS' WRITING to the Board of-

Supervisors of Marin County, but his common-sense views apply to the entire subject of the proposed plant:
"... This Association comprising 3,358' members
, has given' endorsement to the concept that an Atom-ic Park be developed at Bodega Bay.. The great majority of the responsible and representative or-ganizations in Sorioma County have given similar endorsement.
"Our basic concern with this proposed develop-t
. dient has been the very favorable effect it will have a on broadening the tax base and lowering the tax
(
f,l.
burden for the existing taxpayers of Sonoma County, as well as increasing power potential for future eco-q
.t nomic development of this entire area.
b "While we are a governmental research-oriented
l
'. ' organization with 18 years of experience we do not t
s and have not felt competent to pass judgment or '

- make recommendations on the engineering, nuclear, 1 safety, geologic or scismologic problems of the pro-j posed atomic park. Pubile hearing in Santa Rosa will be held on these problems by the legally desig-.
