Harbor Disclosed -NATIONAL FORECAST FOR FEB. 27, 1975- Solar Power Entrepreneur Calls Ventura County Probe Harassment, Denies Publicity Stunt Theory BY JERRY BELCHER Times Staff Writer cy "to help ensure our completing the country's first photovoltaic solar cell array.

"Blowing up our plant for $500,000 would not only have delayed critically important plans but Would have cost us millions of dollars in solar -electric power orders and licensing agreements from all over the world." The Kerr affidavit stated that the California Department of Corporations had issued a "cease and refrain" order against Schaflander prohibiting him from offering or selling shares of stock or other securities of the jpM30 29.80 29.00- 29.80 2S'50nsJ5T I WV SAU.T STE MARIE KV Sf'-g' J-it-JC MttAjoi IS-2I jMTKotT; 'y Ajt WirANU.y I MNVH JT HAT7ERAS uTXTr I osT 1 Ju-Umoo i 'Tx a vni tT52S 3010 Wr HtTTvlTtaeX eSANimsonsfOi ske5heid I I VwCaNTEViWEESiDf COU WAUM STATIONARY OCCLUDED SANtAMWcJT 1 72 50r78j4(J RON!

"We have some very good pilots, but we also have some bad ones," said Capt.K.0. Meyer. Harbor pilots are charged with bringing ships in and out of the harbor.

Meyer's charges were heard during a board discussion of proposed, state legislation that would put the pilots under a state commission rather than their present city Civil Service status. Los Angeles, with 15 pilots, is the only harbor in California that operates its own pilotage service. All others except Long Beach are under a state commission, and Long Beach pilots operate as a private company under contract to the city. Assembly Bill 396 has been introduced by Assemblyman Vincent Thomas (D-San Pedro) at the request of the Los Angeles Pilots Assn. tabling about the change.

The commission moved unanimously to oppose the Thomas bill. The bill is in answer to previous action by the commission that authorized its staff to examine the possibility of establishing a franchise operation for pilotage that might jeopardize the pilots' Civil Service status but would reduce the Harbor Department's liability in accidents caused by pilot error. Fred B. Crawford, general manager of the Harbor Department, said some agents and steamship companies have requested that certain pilots not be assigned to their vessels. He quoted as an example the case of Capt Pat Donohugh, who was piloting the tanker Sansinena when it went around in the harbor two weeks ago.

Crawford would not reveal details of the grounding, which will come before a Coast Guard hearing the next time the vessel is in port, but he said Donohugh has been suspended for 30 days without pay as the result of the Harbor Department staff investigation of the matter. "Based on the evidence, we are convinced that the Donohugh action was appropriate, and it may be that after the Coast Guard investigation is completed additional penalties will be assessed," Crawford said. Meyer also complained that some pilots do not care for their equipment and fail to follow instructions, but said he is handicapped by Civil Service regulations that make discipline difficult Claims and counterclaims flared Wednesday over what Ventura County authorities said may have been a "publicity" bombing attempt at a Newbury Park firm that says it can mass produce electrical power from the energy of the sun. Ventura County Dist. Atty.

Stanley Trom said that while no charges have yet been filed, "there are a number of questions" he wants to ask Gerald M. Schaflander, president of Consumers Solar Electric Power about the company's financing and the attempted bombing of the Newbury plant on Feb. 14. Schaflander, in a telephone interview from Washington, D.C, said the Ventura investigation is another example of "harassment" aimed at preventing his company from producing cheap electrical power. He called for a grand jury or state-level investigation of the entire situation and added: "We needed protection in Ventura County and what we've gotten is harassment, charges of stock fraud and libelous statements that we tried to blow up our own plant" The company first came to the attention of authorities in Ventura County when what was then described as a "sophisticated" incendiary-explosive device was found by a security guard at the Newbury plant The device failed to explode.

In an affidavit made public Tuesday, Ventura County Dep. Sheriff Roger Kerr said: "I have reviewed the information concerning the operations of CSEPC (the company) and Schaflander with the assistant district attorney of Ventura. It is his opinion that Schaflander may be involved in a major fraud of California and Ventura citizens. It is further his opinion that the device described was planted by unknown persons associated with CSEPC in order to generate publicity and to entice investors." Schaflander had called several press conferences after the device was found. He claimed he, his family and his firm had been harassed and threatened since development of his solar energy conversion equipment began in Menlo Park and later in Newbury Park.

Schaflander said Wednesday that for "anyone to say we're trying to get publicity by planting a bomb" indicated "he doesn't have any brains." He added, "You dont entice investors if your plant can't produce your product" He said the company had a $500,000 "business interruption" insurance poli Western, National Forecasts Schaflander "said Wednesday he could not reveal names or amounts, but he did say short-term loans were made to him personally in return for "an agreement giving the person the option at a later date to convert the loan into stock if and only if that was approved by the California Department of Corporations." Schaflander said he had been assured by his attorney that this was a legitimate business transaction. According to the af fadavit, a Ventura investigator said he had been informed by the Delaware Department of Corporations that CSEPC was not registered as a corporation in that state. But Schaflander said it was registered. And an independent check by The Times showed that Schaflander's company was incorporated in Delaware April 18, 1974, and that it remains a corporation in good standing at this time. A Ventura County sheriffs spokesman confirmed later that the affidavit was erroneous on the Delaware matter.

He admitted the mistake might damage the case. But he said he did not believe it would invalidate all the findings of the affadavit A search warrant was granted on the basis of the affidavit last Saturday. Schaflander was personally searched at the plant and documents of the company were seized. Schaflander once headed Notob Products Co, which produced ciga-rets made from lettuce leaves. He claimed the Florida-based firm was forced out of business after two explosions in its plant in 1963-64.

"We could not fight the tobacco companies who were terrified of the product," he said. He claimed the same kind of attempt is being made to force his solar firm out of business, this time by oil and electrical power SOUTHLAND FORECAST LOS ANGELES: Some early morning fog and low clouds, otherwis hazy sunshine today and Friday.
