IH-443) 17 Experience In Field runs ESTIMATES YEAR PAYMENT K.AH A first-hand of the York blackout was written to Huron trieads the day after happened by Mrs. H. F. Hol- thuten, former Lcnorc Sut- ler of Hitchcock and Huron, She said: "I was at ttth Street and (roadway, just hiving icended from a elevator after picking up two winter ran storage, and I glanced up at the towering Empire State Building just as the lights be- gan to flicker and dim and then out completely. And, save or the headlights of cars and lusts, I was in utter darkneil, was the scariest feeling, es- KcliUy with DO oat knowing ust what had happened.

"I STEPPED through a door- way to a little shop, holding: my two heavy coats. After wait- ing for several minutes and rylng to fears of the one shop clerk, who was sure everyone who passed was going 0 come in to rah or rape her, and attempting to assure an- ther frightened little lady that couldn't have sabotage and that the Russians weren't about to blow ui oft the face of the earth, I decided to start walking home by the light of the cars. "There were mobs-of people the I was lucky, for after walking three blocks, I aw a cab driver who had sev- eral people surrounding his cab, and asked if he were going up own. The answer was, yes. So did get a ride up to 59th and 6th Avenue.

AH the way up, the streets were filled with peo- ple. One good thing: there was 1 traffic cop at nearly every ntersectlon. With no traffic lights, driving was dangerous. "WALKED THE rest of the way to 128th (Central Park South), where there was hard- room on the streets to walk. ft my armload of coats with he doorman and proceeded to take the stairs two flights at a time arid a rest of five minutes between spurts up and up, untO I finally reached he 13th floor.

Someone in the obby had kindly given me a candle to light my way. Was relieved to find Harry (her hus- and) already home. We were orttinate. "But what about ihe people caught between floors in ele- vators? What about the hun- dreds of- thousands in the sub- cays? What about little old ladies who couldn't have walked up even five flights of stairs? What about people who live in he suburbs and had absolutely no transportation home? "OUR LIGHTS went -on at about 4 a.m., but we have been all day today (Nov. 10) without water or elevator service.

In our building the power for those services is DC, but I understand hat this will be corrected be- fore the day is over. I was to have had dinner party to- night, but was suri my guests would not like to walk up the 11 flights even if I could cook a meal without water, so called it off. "It all seems unbelievable and Impossible that there could ever be such a widespread blackout, it certainly seems Ul- advlsM to have had so many areas hooked up to one feeder line so that when It went out the whole Northeast blacked out. Something must he wrong someplace, and it will he most interesting to earn the results of the investigation."

"Thfc gras it thick, coarse and as tall a man," he said, "while the weather is hot and humid." Turning to other matters, Capt.

Miller took a slap at the numerous demonstration against U. S. involvement in Viet Nam, stating that the American people must decide how much of this they will tolerate. "MOST or the demonstrators are a bunch of he said, adding: ''They get a lot of attention they don't'deserve and the majority don't know what they're talking about." "They have no feelings or understanding of the Vietnam- ese people," he added. Capt.

Miller said much of the misunderstanding stems from the fact that most people arc not aware that half of the war in Viet Nam is helping the peo- ple to help themselves. NOT ONLY do we clear the Viet Cong out of the villages," he said, "but civic action proj- ects are set up to include basic sanitation, digging of wells and providing medical and dental care to some who have never seen a doctor or dentist." Capt. Miller, who has served 10W years in the Marine Corps considers himself a career sol- dier, had nothing but praise for the South Vietnamese Army. "Much is said about their in- effectiveness," he said, "But this is simply not true." TO EMPHASIZE his point, Capt. Miller told of one inci- dent when i South Vietnamese unit drove i battalion of North Viet Nam soldiers back Into the north.

'Two plane loads of supplies was confiscated," he added, "and most of it was of high caliber, made in Eastern Euro- pean Communist countries." CAPT. MILLER doesn't con- sider as assignment to Viet Nam any worse than driving down a freeway.

"At least, in Viet Nam we know where the enemy Is," he said. When questioned about per- sonal experiences, Capt. Miller told of a sniper who was located under the entry channel for helicopter traffic to the Da Nang Air Base. 'He'd shoot at us regularly and we all knew he was there," Capt. Miller said.

"HOWEVER, we would fly high enough so that if his bullets did hit the helicopter they would merely scratch the paint." "I believe he finally died from frustration," he laid with a smile. The Millers will leave today for the Marine COrp Air Facil- ity at New River, North Caro- lina, where he has been re- assigned. WHEN ASKED if would Uke to return to Viet Nam, Capt.
