It should be noted that C. C. Wbstahal, 7tBE, refers on page 2 of the release (underlined) to future p1 mas for reactors ta California.
You will recall from the PGER $2,400,900,000 (billion) esponsion ,

- A-Plant To Open EUREKA (UPD - Sen. John
, O. Pastore, D-R. I., chairman of the Joint Congressional Committee
'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 site four miles south of here.
Jr . Pastore heads a list of national, state, county and local public of- l ficials taking part in the cere-
'a monies, a PG&E spokesman said. ;
, ci The plant is the first such nuclear
- power facf!!!y - in America ex-
' - - pected to produce economically
] !
competitive electricity, he added.
, The Humboldt nuclear facility a
already is producing its fu!! 11-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- l 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.
- s Initially, the company planned a 15. day test program to demon-strate operations at higher power.
ne committee report did not constitute official Atomic Energy Commission approval, but was n. >
guarded as a major step in that
- direction, according to an aide of Sen. Clair' Engle, D Cahf.

EVERYBODY on the same road in public af- )
fairs is not travelling it for the same reason, any i 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 So it is with the current efforts being made by I 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 disti ute is a natural for them. h provides a ,
"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.
