Marshfield News-Herald Tuesday, February 21, 1978 Page 20 Obituaries Joseph J. Doyle Me any Gives C-Minus to President MIAMI BEACH. Fla. (AP) AFL-CIO President George Meany gives President Carter a "C-minus" grade for his first year in office. But he also gives Carter an "A for effort." "I don't want to be over-criticial of the president.

He's trying pretty hard," Meany said Monday as leaders of the AFL-CIO called on congress to slash income taxes and Social Security costs. The union Executive Council, holding its winter meeting here, said the nation needs 4 million new jobs a year. It proposed that the federal government spend $13.25 billion to create 2 million new jobs in fiscal 1979. Meany says Carter has "nothing new in the way of jobs." "He's depending on tax incentives to business. And there's no indication that tax incentives have created any jobs." Although the United Mine Workers union is separate from Meany's 13.6 million-member AFL-CIO, Meany has kept an eye on the 78-day UMW strike and said he discussed the negotiations with Labor Secretary Ray Marshall Monday morning.

Charles McNeer, president of Wisconsin Electric Power said there should be no problem selling power to some grids, citing that of the Ohio-Indiana region (ECAR) and noting the strike is concentrated in the East while mining continues in the West. "With our conservation and the coal to the west of us, we'll be able to provide ECAR with as much as they can use," he said. Some utility spokesmen said it would be annoying to have consumers reduce consumption, then have a power surplus which couldn't be sold to other states after all.

McNeer said there also would be an unnecessary surplus if homeowners did all their power conserving at night rather than shifting some of their daytime appliance use to evening. "If all the conservation takes place at night, it could give us a problem," he said.

I to of GLJJflTZ' MADISON (AP) Wisconsin homeowners may be told to reduce their consumption of electricity by as much as 10 percent so that power can be shared with coal-short Eastern states under an offer by acting Gov. Martin J. Schreiber. Charles Cicchetti, chairman of the Public Service Commission, said Monday the power reduction would be voluntary, aimed first at public institutions and dwelings. Industries would be the last to have to conserve so that employment can be maintained, he said.

Schreiber, in Washington Thursday to discuss the impact of a United Mine Workers strike, said Wisconsin's fuel supply is still good. He said he hopes the government will not force the state to share its supplies with less foresighted states whose coal reserves are shrinking. But Wisconsin is "ready to offer whatever assistance" it can under a voluntary energy-sharing plan, Schreiber promised during a White House meeting. Cicchetti met Monday in Madison with spokesmen for industry and public utilities. He said he would suggest to Schreiber that, to help other states, Wisconsin citizens might be asked in an appeal that could be made Wednesday to reduce their electricity use.

Cicchetti said he didn't know how much reduction might be required, but that up to 10 percent might be in order. He said homeowners might be asked to shift the use of appliances to nighttime when the general demand for power is less. He said Wisconsin may have up to 500 megawatts of electricity available If you've been a Watch Waiter be glad to hear that the famous GP Quartz has dieted down slimmer, smaller proportions and is now more hand some than ever.
