Public Service Commissioner Billy Lovett said Monday the state shoulJ set operating requirements for Georgia Power Plant Vogtle or risk saddling ratepayers with "enormous" costs. Pointing to the performance of nuclear Plant Hatch, which operat-, ed 54 percent of the time in 1986, Lovett said, "We have to do better than that at Vogtle." "You just shudder to think over their 30- to 40-year life, if they don't operate efficiently, the money that's going to be spent," Lovett said. "The cost that's going to be transferred to the ratepayers is just going to be enormous if the commission doesn't set proper 'standards." The Public Service Commission is holding summerlong hearings on Georgia Power's request for an $805 million rate increase to cover its share of Plant Vogtle's unit. The two-unit nuclear under construction near Augusta now is expected to cost $8.87 compared to $880 million when it was planned in 1971. Lovett is spending two days at Plant Hatch, located in southeast Georgia between Baxley and Vjdalia.

Charges to be dropped against couple in baby's death in Fla. Florida authorities will drop criminal charges Tuesday against a Smyrna woman and her boyfriend, who are now expected to testify against a Dunwoody couple accused of murdering their infant daughter. Allyson Leigh Bailey, 23, and Rickey Moore, 29, both of Dun-woody, were charged with murder and aggravated child abuse after their newborn child was discovered in a trash can at a motel near Tampa last July 4, according to Hillsborough County's Assistant State Attorney John Trevena. The trial is scheduled to begin Aug. 3.

Trevena said charges against Jamie Pall, 25, of Smyrna, and Leon Harrell, 29, of Daytona Beach, will be dropped Tuesday. They had been charged with two counts each of accessory after the fact to murder and two counts each of accessory after the fact to child abuse. According to Trevena, the two couples traveled together from Atlanta and stopped at a motel in Seffner, just east of Tampa. A 7-pound, 1-ounce baby girl, with her umbilical cord still attached, was found July 4 in the motel's trash can. The baby was healthy at birth and was suffocated, authorities have said.

Suspect sought in apparent drug-related fatal shooting Atlanta police Monday night were seeking a suspect in the slaying of a man who was shot to death in an apparently drug-related argument. The victim, Willie Lawrence Murphy, 30, was shot at about 6:25 p.m. outside 135 Bell St. N.E., said homicide Detective M.T. Greene.

Murphy died about 40 minutes later at Grady Memorial Hospital, Greene said. He said a recent study by researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) showed that U.S. nuclear plants are out of service more often than plants in Europe. Swiss nuclear plants operated 86 percent of the time during a 10-year period beginning in 1975, compared to 60 percent for U.S. plants, the study found.

West Germany has an average of 78 percent and France 73 percent. The MIT study concluded that training, ability to learn from experience and high management expectations are important factors in nuclear plant performance, Lovett said. Hatch, a two-unit boiling water reactor, has been in service since 1975. But its performance has varied 42 percent in 1984, 77 percent in 1985 and 54 percent in 1986. For the first five months of 1987, however, the plant has operated 80 percent of the time.

Lovett said Georgia Power management should be credited for the improvement. But he said that Vogtle, because of its cost, cannot afford the same spotty performance. The PSC staff indicated in an earlier hearing that it will recommend a performance standard as a condition of the proposed rate in- Duke agreed not to return to the county or to participate in demonstrations there for a 12-month period starting Monday, according to Gober. The march, which drew an estimated 20,000 people to the small town of Cumming, was held to protest years of alleged discrimination against minorities. The county is virtually all-white.

Duke, the president of the New Orleans-based National Association for the Advancement of White People, was among several hundred counterdemonstrators opposed to the march. Duke said the dismissal of the reckless conduct charge was "a victory for white rights in America." Civil rights leaders charge that blacks have encountered discrimination in housing and employment in Forsyth County. They also demand restitution to families of Marks who were illegal Taylor said EOA contributed $25,000 for the renovations and Fulton County chipped in another $10,000. Each of the furnished houses cost about $15,000 to renovate, and volunteer labor and donated building materials helped cut costs. One local company moved two of the houses to Bowen Avenue for free, he said.

Norman Ricks of EOA said he believes the new program is the first of its kind in the nation. He said families who move into the houses can stay for nine months. They must agree to establish a sav uled drug deal. She also charged that Leonel Ramirez was intimidated into giving a damaging confession to police. In that statement, Ramirez admitted to having dealt cocaine previously with his brother and to dropping Santiago Ramirez off on Pharr Road with the knowledge that a cocaine deal was about to transpire, officers testified during a pre-trial hearing.

The government must prove that Leonel Ramirez was a cocaine dealer in order to establish his alleged complicity in the murder. In addition to a second-degree murder charge, he is accused of conspiring with his brother to distribute cocaine and possessing cocaine with the intent to distribute. "Leonel Ramirez was kept in a small room with several agents present, men who came in and said, 'Leonel, your brother is dead and we shot him. We'd like to get some information from you and we're going to keep you here until Vogtle must operate more efficiently than Plant Hatch, PSC Commissioner Billy Lovett says. crease.

PSC Vice Chairman Gary Andrews and Commissioner Jim Hammock repeatedly have asked commission witnesses whether they favor such standards. Fourteen states have performance standards of some sort for their public utilities. Georgia Power spokesman David Altman said the company does not oppose performance standards "if the performance standard is fair." Altman said the company would want standards that would reward for superior performance if it would be penalized for poor performance. ly forced from their land in the county in 1912. A biracial panel, including six members from Forsyth County and six from Atlanta, was established earlier this year by the Forsyth County Commission and the Cumming City Council to study whether blacks had been excluded from living and working in the county and to explore job and housing opportunities there for minorities.

State Attorney General Mike Bowers, in a 33-page report presented to Gov. Joe Frank Harris earlier this month, said it would be "difficult" to resolve court claims for compensation payments based on the value of land that the blacks were forced to sell or abandon. The report suggested that a more practical way to deal with the claims could be in the establishment of a claims commission by the state Legislature. ings account to set aside at least 15 percent of their gross earnings, and pay rent and utilities. After nine months, the families may apply for the Housing Authority's federally funded Section 8 private housing subsidy program, Ricks said, while working toward purchasing their own homes.

To be eligible for the transitional housing program, families consisting of at least one parent and one child must currently be living in a shelter for the homeless, and the parent or parents must be employed or have marketable skills. we get Ms. Hashimi told jurors. "You have to decide whether this man, because he was Santiago's brother, was also his drug partner," Ms. Hashimi told jurors.

"We believe the evidence will show you that Leonel Ramirez would not have any part in his brother's drug business. The government's second witness testified otherwise. Ricky Morton, 36, identified a picture of Leonel Ramirez as the man who was sitting on the passenger side of a car when Santiago Ramirez sold Morton cocaine. The cocaine and money passed through Leonel Ramirez' hands, Morton testified. Morton, an admitted former cocaine dealer, said he became a confidential informant for Stastny and helped the agent arrange two cocaine "buys" from Santiago Ramirez, The first in November 1986 was for one ounce and the second, a month later, was for two ounces, he testified.
