The report says the potential delays are different for each source joLenergy, reaching areas that needed it The report also said: The plan emphasizes the importance of setting more realis- tic prices for energy so that cop- jee total costs tnQK.il clearly and can make their choices accordingly. Given the serious ness of the energy problem, the conservation -measures proposed In the plan could be more drastic. The plan anticipates higher-than-average growth in the gross -national product, continued gains in environmental protection, and a move toward coal as an energy 'source.

The goals are commend- able, but the plan does not demonstrate that all three can be achieved simultaneously. Oil and gas production problems would most likely occur be- cause laws and regulations may postpone access to frontier, areas, for exploration and development particularly on the Outer Continen tal Shelf. Additional coal production facilities would be constructed by the coal industry only if new markets for coal. were ensured. Manpower and capital shortages could delay opening of new underground mines, and transportation bottlenecks could prevent coal from tice and offering federal jobs to contributors.

The Russians say they are using the iceberg, code-named North Pole 22, for meteorological and oceanic research.

-The Paris daily France Soir quoted North 'Atlantic Trea Organization (NATOi sources in Brussels as saying about 160 Soviets were stationed aboard the iceberg. located north of Canada's Queen Elizabeth Islands and west of Greenland. According to France Soir, the Pentagon has urged Canada to'iise discretion in monitoring the base because it said Washington also uses icebergs for surveillance purposes. Two other papers.

been distributed nationwide, the institute said. In the game, students adopt the roles of environmentalists, utility executives, interest groups and residents who must determine the need for a power plant in a fictional area. Each group's recommendation is then considered by a commission, which rules on the need for a plant, what type of plant should be built, and which of three sites should be used. Thirty-two roles are assigned to students. Zeldin charges that the role cards include biased descrip tions of anti-utility groups.

For al is instance, a student radical to be known as an oddball in this area. A city planner is told he believes more power plants mean more harm to the environment, and if it takes blackouts to wake then blackouts it should be." Scheetz responded that Zeldin excerpted the description out of context. The only ax we have to grind is to get a better informed public in response to demands for energy, Scheetz said. The Audubon article quotes the designer of the game, Raymond Montgomery, as saying, The last thing 1 wanted to do was promote nuclear power. My own personal luefei bias is against nuclear power, but 1 bent over backward to keep my bias out.

The President failed to consider possible delays that could prevent domestic energy production from meeting his goals, the report said. The domestic supplies would offset dependence on foreign oil. If such delays occur, production of oil could fall short of he -plan's goals by as much as millions of barrels per day, said the congressional Office of Technology Assessment.

Production of natural gas may also fall below the goals by the equivalent of million barrels of oil per day. Coal production could fall short of the goals by 200 million tons per year. Nuclear power plants could produce 15 per cent less energy than the plan anticipates. While the report criticizes some aspects of Carter's plan," if says he's moving in the right direction with a national effort to combat the' energy crisis. Without immediate action, the growth in world demand for oil could exceed the production capacities of exporting nations by the mid-1980's," the repent said.

Carter's commitment to -Is reel's future military security has come under question recently from some American Jewish leaders. But the source called attention to Vice President Walter F. Mondales unqualified promise of a continued commitment in a San Francisco speech June 17. Mondale said the survival of the Jewish state is not a political question "but rather stands as a moral imperitive of our foreign policy." i mi COOL All pools unassembled.

In the July issue of Audubon, the society's bimonthly magazine, environmental writer Marvin Zeldin says the game portrays environmentalists as unthinking fools who oppose all proposals for new power plants. Utility executives, on the other hand, are portrayed in the game as reasonable people equally concerned about environmental and energy problems, he said. We think it's a sound educational tool," said Dr. Richard Scheetz, coordinator of educational. ation of privately owned power Its an instructional Simula-, tion that presents a complete diversity of points of view so students can decide for themselves." Scheetz said in a telephone interview when asked about the Audubon charges.

There are no predetermined answers. The game was developed by Creative Studies, a Boston firm that designs educational simulations. add first distributed in 1974.

Scientists aboard the Re-' searcher, a 2.875-ton ship of the U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration showed the guests instruments used to monitor the character of the weather, water and ocean bottom.

Twelve miles out of New York Harbor, the delegates watched the New York sanitation vessel North Sea dump sewage sludge into 60 feet of water. Then they went below and saw the descending sludge trace a brown cloud on a graph created by sound waves bounced off the ocean floor.
