KEPUBLfS A-4 The Arizona Republic Phoenix, Tuesday, July 31, 197J More about- By Ketcham DENNIS THE MENACE Connecticut plans garbage recycling: Skylab tlda) lature created an authority oversee the system, condemn land, sell bonds and contract with private industry. Once the system is built, annual operating costs are expected to be around $50 million. The system is to become self-supporting through user fees and the sale of recycled waste. The General Electric Co. received more than $1 million to create the Connecticut plan.

The first recovery plant, which will prepare dry fuel, will be modeled after one being tested by the Union Electric Co. in St. Louis. Because of its present volume of garbage and shortage of landfill space, Bridgeport, was picked as the site for the Associated Press HARTFORD, Conn. Short on dumping ground and tired of smoky incinerators, Connecticut announced on Monday a statewide recycling plan that eventually will convert all its garbage into electricity, fuel and reusable metal and glass.

The state Department of Environmental Protection unveiled a 20-year, $295-million blueprint for solid waste disposal that relies heavily on still unproven technology being tested in other parts of the country. A spokesman for the federal Environmental Protection Agency said the plan was unique in its scale. It calls for Connecticut to build 10 "resource recovery plants" at the rate of one each year beginning in 1976. The plants will separate bulk refuse into reusable materials such as aluminum, glass and ferrous metals, which will be sold. What little remains will be carted away to landfills.

The state plans to build 45 centers where garbage will be collected and shipped to the recovery plans by truck, barge or rail. The plan also calls for 18 new landfills. The state hopes to increase the amount of waste recovered from the present figure of less than 5 per cent to more than 60 per cent by 1985. In the first full year of operation, probably 1976, state officials anticipate recovering I i IIP" IHH 1-3. 72,000 tons of iron and steel, 47,000 tons of glass and 4.000 tons of aluminum.

The energy developed will be equivalent to 650,000 barrels of oil, officials say. By 1975, they anticipate recovering enough from iron and steel to build 200.000 automobiles, enough glass to make 450 million bottles, 23,000 tons of aluminum and enough energy to generate 10 per cent of Connecticut's energy needs. Pulverized, combustible refuse will be mixed with oil in a conventional power plant boiler and burned to produce electric power. More than 3.3 million tons of gargage more than a ton for every man, woman and child in the state went to Connecticut dumps, land first plant. BETTER GET YOUR.

"Phoenix is the only one (of the members) that can sink MAG," Driggs said, because federal requirements say the regional group must include 75 per cent of the governments and 75 per cent of the population. Phoenix contains 60 per cent of the population of Maricopa County. THIS IS Driggs promises the staff will do an "objective" study and analysis of the routes.

Johnson's report, entitled "Broadcasting in America," rated network affiliated stations in the nation's top 50 markets against standards established by Johnson for local programing, numbers of commercials, news and public affairs.

Lousma and Garriott will perform the space walk, doing two major jobs during 3'2 hours outside the spacecraft. They will deploy a sun shade on top of one installed last month by the Skylab i astronauts. Lousma and Garriott will also replenish film in the Skylab solar telescope. Sunshade protection on the outside of the orbiting laboratory is needed because a metal shield ripped off when the space station was launched May 14. Loss of the shield caused the 118-foot craft to overheat in the baking effects of the space sunlight.

The Skylab 1 astronauts installed a parasol like shade device during their 28-dny mission last month, but experts worried that material in the parasol may be rotting in the sunlight. Lousma and Garriott will install a shade of a different model. It will be unfolded like a window shade along a V-shaped frame of poles. The astronauts' rest Sunday night was interrupted by a leak in the space station. Mission Control sent, signals to automatically replace the atmosphere leaking out, but the spacemen were awakened at about 7 a.m., EDT, by the increased flow of oxygen and nitrogen.

The crewmen located the leak a hatch which failed 1o close properly over "For any federal street or highway funds we need a continuous planning process," he said. The federal government enlarged its demand for regional planning in 1966 with the Demonstration Cities Act. By that time, a regional transportation group had been formed here called the Valley Area Traffic and Transportation Study (VATTSi. Dripqs said it was composed of city, county and state engineers, and the group did studies for the state highway department. In 1967, VATTS was merged Into MAG, which became the "umbrella" for planning a wide range of needs.

Last year, 153 federal grants totaling million came through MAG, he reported. Transportation planning remains a major MAG function. v. The first step in setting the freeway's route is a public hearing at 7 p.m. Wednesday in Maryvale High School, 3415.

"We're willing to accept the fact that our plan is not responsive to the public vote, because we have not taken action yet to change the MAG plan," Drinks said. He added that the reason this has not been done is that to retain federal transportation funds, anything deleted from the plan must have a replacement.

But, Driggs said, MAG Chairman B. L. Tims, Scottsdalc mayor, will make clear in his opening remarks to those attending the public forum that the map is only for references purposes. "We had a choice of including the present location that is on our official plan or including it along with a lot of alternate locations," Driggs said. "All we've done is list the present location, and we're saying to those, attending, the forum to tell us here they want it to be placed." Jack DoBolske.

MAG secretary, agreed with Driggs' explanation and added, "I don't think there was any intent to prejudice anybody with the map."
