Paper wins right to publish stories HARRISBURG, Pa. (UPI) A weekly newspaper whose reporter finagled his way into a job at Three Mile Island today alleged the nuclear plant's security was "vulnerable to sabotage" in articles the power company tried to suppress. In stories written by Robert Kapler, 26, on his first assignment out of journalism school, The Guide contended Metropolitan Edison security system was so weak terrorists could easily take over the plant. "After spending a month on the island, poking around on my own in unauthorized places vulernable to sabotage, I came away with the conviction Three Mile Island is a prime candidate for the saboteur who has the patience to worm his way Kapler wrote. Among other things, Kapler contended he was able to breach and photograph the most security sensitive part of Three Mile Island, the control room where operator errors precipitated the serious nuclear accident March 28, 1979.

Met-Ed, arguing that exposure of its security system could invite terrorism and hence pose a threat to national security, had asked that the news stories be suppressed. But Dauphin County Judge John C. Dowling ruled against suppression Monday, arguing, "Without a free and informed press, there cannot be an enlightened citizenry to protect the values of democracy." The two stories: by Kapler were headlined: Mile Island, It's Paradise Island for the Saboteur" and "I Waltz Into Unlocked Control Room." Kapler contended it was easy to get into Three Mile Island posing as a security guard, that personnel were not monitored or searched thoroughly for weapons and vital areas were left unguarded. Her decribed how he obtained a job as a guard Jan. 2-19 using false identification, A company official acknowledged Monday Kapler's background and references were never checked.

Kapler wrote that he took a concealed camera into restricted areas something also acknowledged by Met-Ed and The Guide published three blurry photographs of the plant interior, including the control room. He wrote, "There is nothing unusual about a guard entering a control room. But for all intents and purposes, I am not a guard. Neither am I a terrorist or saboteur. But I could be.

"Since I was a guard, I was never frisked. had an opportunity to roam by myself throughout the complex. If I had indeed been a saboteur, I could have taken explosives, weapons and ammunition onto the island, into the vital areas, into the Unit No. 2 control room." The NRC said it was investigating The Guide incident, and Met-Ed spokesman Sandy Polon said it forced the company look at our entire security procedure." Two papers (Continued From Page 1) Sydney Schanberg, metropolitan editor of The New York Times, said his reporters had written the story the previous week and it was decided to print it in the Sunday editions. "There was no, change in our plans," Schanberg said, when asked why the story was published the same weekend the FBI was closed down.

But he added, "We knew they (FBI) were going to go to some of the targets on that weekend." Bob Greene, an assistant managing editor of Newsday, said they could have published fair story" the previous week but were a nervous" about using some of the Lames of the congressmen believed to be involved. Greene said a Newsday reporter was sent last Friday to see a. Justice Department official who told him, "'NBC and The Times have been here and our basic thing is this; we're sending agents out sometime Saturday to take statements from the people involved. We want to be able to take the people by surprise." Greene said. the federal official asked Newsday to sit on the story until Sunday morning, and then the newspaper could contact those congressmen it believed to be involved in the investigation.

He said Newsday agreed to cooperate, but noted NBC ran the story without names Saturday night and The Times "had already called people before the FBI had interviewed them. "We made a gentlemen's agreement, and we kept it," Greene said. DIES AT 59 CHICAGO (UPI) Ray Garrett former chairman of the Securities and Exchange Commission, died here. He was 59.

The Sheriff's reports that Harold D. Bretz, 35, of 305 Benton was westbound on Benton approximately one fourth mile west of Benton, when his pick-up truck left the roadway and went into a steep embankment. The truck reportedly rolled over at least once before landing on ice in Sycamore Creek. According to the report, the vehicle was partially in the water with Brets pinned inside the truck's cab after it landed on the driver's door. A nearby resident, Charles Maskey, 208 Benton heard the crash and pulled Bretz out of the cab and onto the creek's bank.

Bretz was transported to Wyandot Memerial Hospital by the Sycamore Rescue Squad where he was admitted with possible internal injuries. He is reportedly in fair condition today. The department reports the truck was demolished and no citations were issued. French sites under siege in Libya today PARIS (UPI) Libyan demonstrators the eastern Libyan city of Benghazi and wrecked the French Consulate General a in burned the French Embassy in Tripoli, French officials said today. They said the offices housing the consulate in Benghazi were destroyed, but the French diplomats there were allowed to leave and none was harmed.

mob of Libyans shouting slogans denouncing the French also stormed the embassy in Tripoli, doused it with gasoline and burned it. All personnel at the French embassy escaped unharmed. Libyan authorities ignored pleas for help from Ambassador Charles Malo, French officials said. After attacking the French Embassy, the mob moved to the Tunisian Embassy and stormed it. The crowds left without doing any major damage after finding no one inside, Tunisian officials said.

The attacks Monday came only eight days after France provided Tunisia with military logistic aid to put down an attempted insurrection by, Libyan-trained guerrillas in the Tunisian mining city of Gafsa. Officials said Libyan authorities did nothing to restrain the mobs inflamed by Libyan government statements accusing France of seeking to rebuild its colonial empire in Africa. The French Foreign Ministry has issued an angry protest over "the' inadmissable behavior of Libyan authorities. The Foreign Ministry also said France reserves the right to demand appropriate reparations. Informed sources said France is certain to stop the delivery of spare parts for the sophisticated military equipment that it sold Libya in the late 1960s at the height of close cooperation between the two nations.

The Libyans received 110 Mirage fighter bombers from France in 1970, the largest such number of the Dassault company aircraft sold to any foreign customer. Libya also has bought a sizeable amount of French missiles and torpedo boats, sources said. "I felt sick and disgusted watching the attack," said Marie Folliot, a grade school teacher in Paris who saw television news of the attack. "You can hear about the situation in Iran and sympathize with the Americans, but it never really hits home until it happens to your own people."

Douglas Applegate, said today, Applegate said he would attend a U.S. EPA briefing today on the new proposal concerning the burning of the state's high sulfur coal. Meanwhile, regional U.S.

EPA Adminstrator John McGuire flew from Chicago to Columbus, Ohio, to brief legislative leaders on the plan. The Ohio Plan, submitted by the administration of Gov. James Rhodes in an attempt to satisfy federal requirements for statewide clean-air regulations, calls for averaging the testing over a 30-day period. The U.S. EPA has been calling for a more stringent 24-hour averaging period and the conflict between the state and the federal government has stymied acceptance of any plan in Ohio for years.

"What we are looking for now, and what the EPA is going to do, is to put into effect on a temporary basis, legislation I introduced in Washington asking for a look at 30-day averaging over a limited period of said Applegate.

County pressured to sign (Continued From Page 1) Elections Systems representative Bob Braun met with commissioners to discuss the Board of Elections proposal for a puncheard computerized voting system. Commissioners are already considering advertising for bids for a centralized computer system to be used by all county offices as well as the Board of Elections. The elections board had previously requested a punchard computerized system to be used in the June primary and all elections thereafter.

The Board of Elections made its request for commissioners to advertise for bids in December. Since then the Data Processing Board has N.J. New Jersey Gov.

Braun told commissioners that CES would lease a punchard tabulating computer to the Board of Elections at $1,000 for use in either the primary or general election or both. He added that centralized computers used in other counties have not always been successful in counting the ballots on election night. He added that using the CES system during the primary or general election would save the county roughly $19,000 in election costs.

Commissioners said they were still investigating all the possibilities for a centralized computer system before they reached any decisions. They added that they would take. Braun's proposal and information into consideration. Animal Claims In other business, the board signed a resolution authorizing a $687.50 payment to be made from the Dog, and Kennel Fund to Terry Crall and Myron Pittman, Wyandot County Line Caledonia, for animal claims filed with the county auditor's office. Crall and Pittman filed the animal claims after dogs owned by Dan Noggle and Robert Weir killed 16 of their sheep.

County Dog Warden Raymond Shumaker cited the two into Municipal Court, where Judge John F. Bender ordered Noggle and Weir to pay $687.50 in damages. Shumaker stated that the two signed their dogs over, to him and Weir paid his share of the damages but Noggle did not. Commissioners said they were obligated to make the $687.50 payment from the Dog and Kennel Fund since Noggle did not pay his share as ordered. Bee Inspector board reappointed Harvey Hartzler, Bucyrus Crestline, as Crawford County bee colony inspector.

He will receive $4.50 per hour and 18 cents per mile alloted as gas mileage, according to the resolution. Commissioners appropriated $1,200 for the apiary inspections. Hartzler was rehired for one year in December but at that time he asked for an increase in wages and gas mileage. This will make his second year as county bee inspector. Hartzler previously received $4 per hour and 17 cents per mile in gas mileage.

Purchase Orders The following purchase orders, were signed by commissioners today: A purchase of light bulbs, flourescent lamps and flood lamps for the Sheriff's Department from Electric, 3044 Andrew totaling $264.22.
