THE Militians COURIER-JOURNAL, FRIDAY, MARCH 25, 1977 Co Marble Hill hearing told PSI ignored coal as fuel By HOWARD FINEMAN Courier-Journal Staff Writer MADISON. Ind. From the jewelry he wore, it was easy to know which side of the debate Norman Kilpatrick would be on in the Marble Hill hearings here. He wore a ring set with a polished lump of coal. His tie clasp had a matching little black "stone." Talk to Norman Kilpatrick for any length of time and you begin to wonder eats crushed coal for breakfast.

Kilpatrick, of Charleston, W.Va., is: witness for the Commonwealth of Kentucky in the federal hearings ending their third week in this museum-piece of a town. His main point, as he summarized it yesterday, was that the company seeking to use nuclear power at Marble ignored a cheaper source of fuel clean, low-sulfur coal in Appalachia. The sulfur content of coal is important to utilities because federal law requires them to limit the amount of sulfur bearing pollution they send out their smokestacks. The lower the sulfur content of the coal, the less money they must spend on antipollution equipment. Because it is more desirable, low-sulfur coal is generally more expensive.

Public Service Co. of Indiana (PSI) has proposed building a $1.6 billion nuclear plant at Marble Hill, on a bluff overlooking the Ohio River 10 miles south of here. The hearings are being conducted by the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC), the federal agency that would issue a license to PSI to begin work on the plant. The NRC must decide whether a nuclear plant is the cheapest and least damaging way for PSI to meet what the company claims will be much greater demand for electricity in the 1980s and 1990s.

Kilpatrick, who has advised the West Virginia legislature and acted as a gobetween for coal companies and coal buyers, charged that PSI didn't give Appalachian coal a serious look. He said he based his charge in part Two are killed, three are injured in I-65 accident From Staff and AP Dispatches Two teen-agers were killed and three other people injured yesterday in a collision between a motor home and a tractor-trailer truck on I-65, eight miles north of Elizabethtown. State Police identified the dead as Stephen Clavey, 13, of Northbrook, and Linda Choose, 16, of Niles, Ill. Clavey's mother, Donna, was admitted to Hardin County Hospital, while his father, Arliss, was treated and released. The truck driver, Jack Boyette of Brunswick, was hospitalized with a fractured leg, hand and other injuries.

His truck caught fire after the crash. In other accidents: Rickman Glover, 70, of Christian County was killed Wednesday afternoon when the bulldozer on which he was riding hit a tree. He died of chest injuries after the tree fell on him. His body was discovered about two miles from Hopkinsville in a wooded area. Survivors include his wife, Katerine DuBois Glover, two brothers and two sisters.

The funeral will be at 2 p.m. today at Hughart Funeral Home in Hopkinsville, with burial in Green Hills Memorial Gardens. Dallas Wallace, 22, was in critical condition at Louisville General Hospital yesterday after suffering second- and third-degree burns on 80 per cent of his body at the Keller Extrusions of Kentucky plant in Berea. Wallace apparently was carrying hot ashes, a residue of Keller's aluminum smelter process, when winds blow ashes on him. No one witnessed the accident, a Keller official said.

The company is investigating, he said. Kindergarten fund to get funds for undergoing tests More than $6,000 of the $10,000 needed for a proposed Gallatin County kindergarten is available, according to Mrs. Ardith Scott, PTA president, if 320 people can enrolled for a series of skin sensitivity tests to be conducted by Proctor Gamble in Warsaw and Glencow this spring and summer. A Proctor Gamble research team will place nonallergic tape patches onto volunteers arms to test sensitivity to perfume, soaps and body lotions. For this participation Proctor Gamble will contribute $6,240 to the Gallatin County kindergarten building fund.

That will leave $3,860 to be raised through donations and loans. Bill would create fund for medical student loans FRANKFORT, Ky. (AP) The Interim Legislative Committee on Business Organizations and Professions voted yesterday to prefile a bill that would create a $500,000 education loan fund for students in the state's two medical schools. If passed by the 1978 General Assembly, the proposal would allow the state Department of Human Resources to lend $5,000 to 50 students attending the University of Kentucky and 50 at the UniLouisville. The student, after finishing residency, would set up a practice in areas of Kentucky that suffer from a doctor shortage.

Priests' group supports priesthood for women on copies of letters PSI wrote to coal companies in 1973, soliciting bids for coal to fuel another new power plant. While those letters and responses to them concerned another plant, Kilpatrick argued that they showed a pattern of disinterest. "From the facts I can gain on PSI's efforts in 1973 to get large amounts of low-sulfur coal," he said, "it clear that they had opportunity least is, start serious negotiations." The company apparently did not do so before choosing to "go nuclear" at Marble Hill, Kilpatrick implied.

And he said that PSI could still make the switch and save money. "From the contracts in the last few years, it seems clear that PSI could obtain adequate low-sulfur coal" now, he said. Under questioning by PSI's attorneys, Kilpatrick said he knew of only one "block" of coal reserves in Kentucky controlled by a single producer big enough to supply the needs of a plant at Marble Hill for 30 years. That producer, he said, was the Island Creek Coal Co. of Lexington.

But he said that there is no reason why PSI should want or need only one supplier for the entire life of a plant. "I've never understood why PSI thinks that it needs one huge block," he said. "Other utilities don't, believe that. They have lots of contracts." In earlier testimony, PSI officials said that the company has contracts for uranium with four suppliers, and that 60 per cent of their needs for that fuel are not yet contracted for. PSI attorneys said the company told federal officials last year that prices of not $30 to counting $38 a ton delivery for low-sulfur costs covere average.

Kilpatrick said such prices were "excessively high." Under questioning, Kilpatrick was able to give only a few examples of exact prices for low-sulfur coal that PSI could purchase right away if it wanted to. But there was a reason why, he said. Coal companies' prices vary according to the lengths and terms of the contracts they agree to, and according to the financial backing big buyers are willing to give. If a utility the size of PSI came to a coal company with a "substantial offer," he said, that company would open a mine, lower the price, and do whatever else was necessary to assure a long-term deal. In his testimony, Kilpatrick listed more than a dozen companies that he claimed could be approached on such a deal.

Milward-Broadway Mortuary here. A national conference of American Catholic priests has urged church leaders to open the all male Roman Catholic priesthood and diaconate to women. Their resolution, which asks Pope Paul VI to remove "those canonical impediments to ordination based on the sex of candidates," was approved by voice vote Wednesday evening by delegates to the annual convention of the National Federation of Priests' Councils (NFPC). The convention, which concluded its four-day session yesterday at the Galt House in Louisville, brought together more than 200 priests from throughout the United States. The group's action on women's ordination was interpreted by observers as an important step in the drive to open the Roman Catholic priesthood to all qualified applicants.

The drive gained impetus last fall with the approval of women priests in the Episcopal Church and with the results of the Catholic Call to Action Conference in Detroit. There, delegates proposed sweeping church reforms, including women priests and optional celibacy. Celibacy was not discussed at the NFPC conference. "There is a greater understanding and acceptance in most parishes that women are taking a larger role in the ministry," the Rev. James Ratigan said at news conference yesterday.

Ratigan, a 38-year-old priest from Joliet, is president of the NFPC. this at the Louisville convention, delegates heard the chairman of the National Assembly of Wom- By BRUCE BUURSMA Courier-Journal Staff Writer en Religious call for closer cooperation between priests and nuns. Priests should not think of nuns as "priest-substitutes," warned Sister Kathleen Keating. "The ordination of women," she declared, "is a coming reality in the (Roman Catholic) church, and we must help the people of God prepare for its coming." In other action this week, NFPC delegates: Officially deplored sexism and urged Catholic dioceses to eliminate sexual discrimination and sexist language. Voted to send a telegram to President Carter in support of his stand on human rights issues.

Commended Memphis Bishop Carroll Dozier for his controversial "Call to Reconciliation" gatherings last year, at which thousands of divorced and otherwise lapsed Catholics returned to the church. Explored new ways of "ministering" in the church, calling for public hearings to make "an inventory of traditional and nontraditional ministries in the local church." The NFPC, which has its headquarters in Chicago, is a federation of more than 100 priests' councils, associations, senates and religious orders in the United States. Ratigan, who is midway through a two-year term as president of the group, described the priests who represent the federated councils as "activists and a little left of center" politically and theologically. Plans for fairgrounds include park with theme reading: An amusement park with a central theme was included in long-range plans for better use of the State Fairgrounds proposed to the Kentucky State Fair Board yesterday. Two alternative plans were explained to the board by officials of Leisure and Recreation Concepts, of Dallas, Tex.

The firm was hired by the board last fall to look at the fairgrounds and new land acquisitions and recommend how they could best be used. The park envisioned by the planners would be located on ground presently used for a nine-hole, par golf course near Gate 2. The planners suggested that the park be divided into three sections a turntown and a unit devoted to Kentucky's the village, a Daniel Boone mining industry. The park, which would operate 100 to 150 days a year, would contain 13 rides, some of which could be changed from year to year. Also proposed are restaurants, craft shops and an antique train to connect the various attractions on the park grounds.

Fair Board, the planning firm proposed locating recreational vehicle parks for use by fair exhibitors and carnival operators. Leisure and Recreation Concepts, which has planned large amusement parks in other cities, also proposed a fountain-filled stretch of open pavement, in front of Freedom Hall and its two new wings and a complete realignment of traffic movements on the grounds.

The esplanade would be used during the annual State Fair for the "civic midway," the refreshment and food stands operated by local nonprofit groups during the fair. The two plans submitted to the board differ only in the location of the horse barns. In Plan the barns would remain along the North-South Expressway, on the east side of the exhibition complex. Under Plan they would be relocated at the present site of the Fairgrounds Speedway and their original site would be used for parking. A key feature of both plans is construction of a four-lane road" around the entire of the patimetene grounds.
