Couldn't Repeat, Hydro Exec Says By WILLIAM A. GARRETT Press Bureau Washington--The Ontario Hydro-Electric Power Commission has blocked out week's massive northeastern This was disclosed yesterday W. G. Slater, vice-president the Niagara Mohawk Power at the conclusion of a FedPower Commission inquiry the cause of history's worst failure. power.

situation that left us in dark couldn't be repeated now," Slater said. He and engineers from several utilities takpart in the investigation agreed there are no American relay points as far as they know--that could touch off another such blackout. "I don't know of any relays our system that could fail, Slater. But Slater still was ready, with other power executives and engineers, to begin further studies aimed at "preventing the inconceivable." ASKED WHETHER the powcompanies were doing something about it already, Commissioner Chairman Joseph C. Swidler declared: "Indeed they We've got the whole (powindustry busy at it." Slater said American power systems collapsed "like tenpins" last Tuesday when a surge of energy was sent into their interconnected lines by the tripping of a relay referred to at Sir Adam Beck Plant 2 at Queenston, Ontario, on Niagara River.

This relay was carrying 350 megawatts: its and load when was as it trans- was ferred to four other circuits at same station, each carrying kilovolts, and they cut out, as a result. "All the power suddenly went southward, overloading our systems," Slater explained, "beyond any conceivable tolerances." QUICKLY KNOCKED OUT were all systems below BeckNew York State Power Authority, Niagara Mohawk, Rochester Gas Electric, Orange Rockland, Consolidated Edison, then those in New England. A Westinghouse engineer who studied power grids testified it took only minutes complete the regional breakdown. He said each segment was gone in less than a second. Still a mystery was what caused the overload at Beck that started the chain reaction.

Swidler said the first "pin" the relays that caused last power blackout. toppled at 5:16 p. m. The overload cause, Slater said, still is "an open area." On a big chalk board in the hearing room in which more than 20 utilities produced information on what happened to them in the blackout were listed the times each company broke down and restored service. Swidler said there had been failures before- smaller scale--and the firms" should have "concluded" that there could have been more.

THE CHAIRMAN SAID there was "no present dispute" about the finding that Ontario was the source of the trouble, and "no question of sabotage." "One big question," he noted, was why the Ontario disturbance had such widespread said A. J. Harris, who represented the Ontario commission at the inquiry, reported Canadian "precuations" against a recurrence. He said the Canadian and American versions of the power failure "fit together perfectly." Asked whether the blackout had cast a shadow on dreams of a nationwide power grid, Swidler answered: "No in my mind there is much to be done. We need better studies, more integrated operations, stronger power "ALL COMPANIES will involved" in computerized studies of power problems, Swidler said.

FPC's investigation into the blackout's cause ended during the lunch hour after about four hours of testimony by witnesses from six utilities listed the commission as, in this order, Niagara Mohawk, York Power Authority, Rochester Pennsylvania-Jersey- Maryland, Consolidated Edison and New York State Electric Gas. Other companies, were invited to sit as did Ontario. All have been requested by FPC to state by Wednesday the major problems encountered in restoring power and to append recommendations along with reports on steps already being taken. Boston Gang War Has Bloodiest Day Boston-(P)-The claimed three victims in the 20-month-old vendetta. The bodies of victim Nos.

27 and 28 were found shot to death last night in the Mickey Mouse Cafe at nearby Revere Beach. They were Raymond Distasio, 35, of Medford, the cafe's daytime bartender, and John B. O'Neill, 26, of Revere, a customer who lived nearby. Earlier in the day, the body of dino, ex-convict of Robert Winchester A. Palla- 34, was found beneath an elevated highway near Boston Garden.

ALL THREE had been shot in the back of the head. Police believe all the deaths are links in an endless chain of revenge killings between rival gangs of petty hoodlums. Police said Distasio was shot twice in the back of the head and O'Neill three times. O'Neill also had gunshot in both arms, the chest and back. His body was found close to the front door at the end of a trail of blood which indicated he had been fleeing, wounded, when he fell.

Distasio's body was found sprawled in the middle of a dance floor at the rear of the cafe. Authorities said both men were shot from close range. Five shells were found, some .45 caliber and the rest .38 caliber. No guns were found. Money in the cash register and on the bodlies ruled out robbery, police said.

THE BODIES were found by Joseph Doto, a Revere special policeman who worked at the cafe as a handyman. Police report Distasio was a friend of John M. Schackleford, 31, of Wilmington who was wounded in his right arm Saturday in Charlestown. Schackleford told police he was sitting in a parked car and was shot by someone in a passing car. O'Neill, who formerly lived in Whitefield, N.

moved to Revere about three months ago with his wife and their four young children. Mrs. O'Neill said her husband worked in a Lynn shoe factory and they had planned to move to that city last night. whom is three months old. The killings began in March, 1964, with the shooting of William J.

(P) Color printing, already expanding rapidly in today's newspapers, will continue to improve as a result of research and progress, southern, newspaper publishers Otto Silha, vice and general manager of the Minneapolis and Tribune and vice president of the American Newspaper Publishers' Research Institute, outlined recent improvements in color and other aspects of the business. "I think the new inks and the new attention to the craftsmanship of printing with those new color inks will improve newspaper color and should result in the sale of more advertising in our medium," he told the convention, attended by publishers from 14 states.

Silha said on a recent trip to Europe he saw many new modern newspaper plants and changing methods of transmission which should lead to improvement in this country. Property Transfers Ruth C.

S. Offer Saudis Aid London (P) The United States and Britain have joined in a unique offer to supply Saudi Arabia with a modern, $200,000,000 air defense system. Qualified diplomats, who disclosed some details today, said the British-American proposals were flown to King Faisal's government last week by British Deputy Minister for Aviation John Stonehouse. THEY SAID the offer in part includes the sale of American Hawk missiles, British supersonic interceptor jet fighters and a highly advanced radar and communications, an system as up-to-date the air defense system. The informants, who declined to be identified by name, said the proposed deal has a two significance: -It could end an era of cutthroat competition in arms sales between American and Britain, at least in the Middle East.

-It could signal far closer coordination in British-American policies for the defense of key countries in the Middle East. THE INFORMANTS reported the Saudi were surprised to receive the offer. The British and American governments had been competing strenuously for the complex of contracts. Negotiations began in 1964 after aerial attacks by Egyptian planes on Saudi villages near the Yemeni frontier. It was then that Faisal resolved to begin building a new system of air defense.

If the deal goes through, the British could be associated with the Americans in the Saudi Arabian defense system for years to come. Presumably the British would have to provide pilots, trainers and technicians until the Saudis build up their own corps of air force men.
