'on Atomic Energy, will be the featured speaker when the Hum-boldt Bay atomic power plant of the Pacific Gas & Electric Com-j pany is dedicated Monday at its i
Jr.
site four miles south of here.
Pastore heads a list of national, state, county and local public of-ficials taking part in the cere-
'a monies, a PG&E spokesman said.

pected to produce economically competitive electricity, he added.
The Humboldt nuclear facility already is producing its fu!! 11-a censed power of $1,500 kilowatts.
After its second fuel o>re is in-f
, stalled, about two years from now, j
the cost of generation is expected j
to be as low as that of conven-tionally produced power in the j
Humboldt area.
Meanwhile, in Washington, the Advisory Committee on Reactor Safeguards advised the Atom!c Energy Commission that the pro-posed test program by PG&E to demonstrate Humboldt Bay opera-tions at higher power would not constitute a hazard to the health and safety of nearby asidents.
PG&E is currently licensed to operate the plant at its initial rated power of about 48,500 net electrical kilowatts. PG&E bas re-quested.an amendment to its'11-cense to begin a planned program of gradual increase in power of a boiling water reactor from 48,500
- to 68,500 net electrical kilowatts.
Initially, the company planned s
a 15. day test program to demon-strate operations at higher power.

more than everyone in every car moving south on f
the Redwood Highway is headed for the same place I
for the identical reason.
l I
So it is with the current efforts being made by f
opponents of,the proposed nuclear power plant at Bodega Bay to create so rauch political heat that.
i the Atomic Energy Commission will render a politi-l cal decision instead of one based on economics and
. scientific fact.
Among those opponents are such unlikely trav-1 ellers-on the same road for completely different I
reasons-as two or three extremely conservative farm-ers and the California h6use' organ of 1he Communist Party..
g 1The c6nservative farmers prefer things as tr.ey are to even a remofe chance that the Atomic Enoc;y a 4
Commission could be wrong if it decide: construction of the plant would create no hazar-
.THE COMMUNIST.S overwd no oppo.. :r..ty to weaken the United States from within. The Ecdega Bay dist ute is a natural for them. h provides a i
"cause" for them to muscle into, and anything that I
causes mistrust of cither warlike or peaceful use of j
the. atom is right dowii their alley.-
Less visible are the motives of some of the so-called " liberal" politicians. Secretary of'the Interior Udall and Senator Engle, of course, are public-pcwcr enthusiasts from 'way back. As long as the taxpay-crs, and not stockholders in a taxpaying utility are doing it, they seem to see no loss of beauty in buiL
. Ing hydroelectric dams-preferably a mile high-en every river in the nation. But, apparently without ever having bothered to look at it, they proclaim
,' that a taxpaying power plant at Bodega Bay would impair a wild and unique beauty.
THEN'THERE'S that political curiosity, Glenn i
Anderson, the licutenant governor cPCalifornia, who ',
is also suddenly sticking his nose into the matter I
and writing adyice to the AEC, when not busy hav-ing his picture taken rocciving a petition which could have no conceivable practical effect except to heav -
ily damage the Sonoma Cdunty milk industry. What his mo'tive might be is difficuh to imagine.
