Ohio Electric Utilities Eye Carter Energy Plan 2 The Morion Stor Fridoy, May 13. 1977 Dems Rush Voting Registration Switch Hi khM vfK demand generally occur between 5 p.m. and 7 p.m., asked, "How high a price must we ask our customers to pay at that persuade them to eat dinner at In the afternoon "Experience in Europe has indicated you don't accomplish much." While electric utilities support restructuring rates to accurately reflect the costs of serving customers, White said, they oppose rates that would force selective conservation. Rpferrina to the controversy Deferral of the experimental breeder reactor and nuclear fuel reprocessing programs, while apparently limiting the use of plutonium and the spread of nuclear weapons, "means higher costs in the near-term (into the 1980s) and unnecessary uncertainty after the turn of the century," White said The utilities also scorned pending federal legislation to regulate strip mining, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency requirements on sulfur dioxide emissions and "proposals misnamed as conservation issues," such as time-of-day pricing and in-terruptible rates.

too that he can count on heavy financial support from the AFL-CIO and other labor unions backing his bill. More than 20 amendments were tacked onto the bill that will go before the 99-member House next week. In its present form, Ohio voters could register up to 21 days before an election that was increased from IS, but is more lenient than the present JO day limit or on election day itself, simply by presenting valid identification. The voter would then receive a stub showing that he has enrolled and his name would be posted in the polling place. Both of these provisions were added as safeguards against fraud.

Registration would be permanent, barring a move, thus eliminating the current requirement that voters must cast a ballot at least once every two years or be purged from the rolls. The voter would have to be a resident of Ohio for 30 days, but he could vote on the day be moved into a county or precinct by stating that he "now" resides there. "This is a deliberate attempt to saddle the honest people of Ohio with an election system that is impossible to administer," Netzley charted. The panel aisu attempted to tighten up another area of the legislation, which permits individuals to go door to door with registration forms in efforts to sign up voters. A penalty of up to six months in jail and a so ,000 fine could be imposed in instances when the canvasser, after agreeing to return a completed form to the election board, failed to do so.

The way was cleared by an 4-4 favorable vote Thursday on the controversial bill in the House Elections Committee, with all four Republican members dissenting. To the Republicans, the Democratic electon reform bill is better described as "instant registration," or in the words of Rep. Robert E.

Netzley, R-81 Laura, "a blueprint for fraud." Cognizant that their chances of stopping the bill in the legislature are slim, GOP forces are considering placing the issue on the statewide ballot, as a referendum to repeal the legislation. In the Senate, a separate bill to assure that election board records are kept open for public inspection during regular business hours was approved 27-0 and sent to Gov. James A. Rhodes The Senate has already approved the registration bill. House Democrats want to complete action on the latter bill without delay to clear the decks for the all-important 1978 gubernatorial election, when they expect to reap the benefits of a big turnout.

"If there is a referendum, I will look at it with pleasure," the sponsor of the bill, Sen. Tony P. Hall, D-6 Dayton said. "I can sell this bill and I'll go all over the state to do it." Hall knows OHIO SCENE Grabs By TOM JOURNEY Associated Press Writer COLUMBUS. Ohio (AP) -Nearly three week after President Carter presented his national energy policy to Congress, Ohio electric companies have responded with a ixture of praise anJ criticism.

The criticism is mostly for the more controversial of Carter's proposals: deferral of experimental breeder reactor development and use of Plutonium fuel for nuclear reactors, strip mining of coal and restructuring of electric rates. On the other hand, the utilities praised Carter's emphasis on coal and nuclear power, conservation of oil and natural gas, conservation by consumers and simplified licensing of nuclear power plants. "We thought it better to study (the plan) carefully than to shoot from the hip, John R. White, president of the Ohio Electric Utility Institute told a press conference Thursday in explaining why the utilities took so long to respond to the proposals. But, be said, "We believe a workable energy program can be developed on the basis of Mr.

Carter's program if energy producers, legislators and regulators work harmoniously toward realistic goals." 1 White, who also beads Ohio Edison said he disagrees with most of the President's proposals "which particularly affect the electric industry." "1 am sure our customers would have to pay more if the Carter program is adopted," White said. Local Report Partly cloudy tonight and Saturday. Lows in the 50s tonight and from 75 to 80 Saturday.

CLEVELAND (AP) Columbus factory foreman Alva Walker, who won $140,000 in the Ohio lottery Thursday night, says he's going to "build a white picket fence around my little world." The little world where Walker, 43, and his wife, Helen, live centers on their "ranch-style house on a postage-stamp lot" in Grove City. They have three children, and Walker, who has worked at the Fisher Body plant for 22 years, said he loves to "get out in the yard and fool around." He also likes to golf and bowl and said he has no plans to retire. Walker brought a cheering section of about 15 persons with him Thursday night, including bar manager Mike Toner, who sold him his winning ticket. "Every week since the lottery started, Mike has saved me the first two tickets off one of his rolls," Walker said. Walker wore a key chain as a good luck- charm, he said the charm, containing a glass of mustard seeds.dwas given to him Tuesday night by rivet operator LuAnn Thompson.

IS TODAY STAK GOP Cries 'Foul9 On Court Bill By ROBERT E.MILLER Associated Press Writer COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) -House Democrats have voted to create three election districts for municipal judges in Hamilton County over GOP claims of "judicial gerrymandering." Republicans also charged Thursday that the 58-33 vote by which it passed the House feU short of the two-thirds majority (66) required by the Ohio Constitution for the creation of "a new court." They hinted at possible legal action if the controversial bill, which returns to the Senate for consideration of House amendments, is finally enacted. Rep.

Richard H. Finan, R-19 Cincinnati, was ruled out of order by House Speaker Vernal G. Riffe D-89 New Boston, when the Hamilton County lawmaker objected that the bill had not been passed. Minority Leader Charles F. Kurfess, R-83 Perrysburg, also was gaveled down by the speaker when he sought to be recognized to press the constitutional issue.

An angry Kurfess later made it clear that he intended to make the GOP objection a part of the House Journal, apparently for use as the basis of a possible court suit to declare the law unconstitutional. "You're changing the jurisdictions (in the bill), and we say this is creating a new court," he said. The bill, introduced in the Senate by Sen. William F. Bow en, D-9 Cincinnati, would upset tradition in Hamilton County a Republican stronghold which for years has elected judges countywide, mostly Republicans.

Bo wen's bill, carried in the House by Rep. William L. Mallory, D-23 Cincinnati, increases the number of such judges in the county from 10 to 13, but requires them to reside in one of three districts and be elected by the voters in that particular district. All judges would have countywide jurisdiction, a point Rep. Norman A.

Murdock, R-21 Cincinnati, stressed in accusing majority Democrats of "judicial gerrymandering. Once, in an emotional floor speech, Murdock called out to the Democratic House contingent from Cincinnati, across the aisle, "you can't win an election in Hamilton County." Rep. Arthur Wilkowski, D-46 Toledo, arose to defend Ma Dory's bill, saying it "opens up the political process" to many Hamilton Countians, especially the poor and blacks, who haven't had a say in the election of judges for many years. Wilkowski readily accepted Murdock 's charge that the bill was political. "It's blatantly political," he said, but in the sense that "we here in the legislature are elected, from districts, to make these kinds of decisions that are fair to all the people of Ohio."

"The only thing that would solve that Franklin situation would be for Consol to give the men a meeting," Guzek said. "They won't. I think it's damn foolish." The men walked out there after a foreman hit one of the miners, he said. Guzek said the union doesn't want the foreman fired. "We don't want to take his job.

But we want him to get some days said when "one of our men pointed a pencil at a foreman he got 20 days off. "He (the foreman at Franklin 25) got five days."

The trustees voted 8-1 to approve the awarding of contracts Thursday after listening to the demands of about 800 demonstrators at the Student Center. About 300 students jammed the Student Center for the demonstration sponsored by the May 4th Coalition, and another 500 overflowed outside the building for the session with the trustees. The trustees let student representatives speak on four of their eight demands before cutting off discussion and voting to approve letting of contracts for the new building for the Health, Physical Education and Recreation Department. Calling the session a travesty, the demonstrator left the Student Center and marched to the site where Ohio National Guardsmen killed four students and wounded nine other seven years ago.

Most of the demonstrators dispersed, but a handful set up four tents and announced plan to spend the night. bthe May 4th Coalition, which sponsored the demonstration, said another rally would be held today.
