WASHINGTON (UPI) — De

Ford said in a veto message
that spending under the bill

billion to his budget deficit and
would be “costly not only to
consumers and taxpayers, but
to American farmers in the

If the one-year “emergency”
bill became law, Ford said, it

“discredited policies” resulting
in huge surpluses, multi-billion
dollar federal spending and a
revival of government acreage
controls for farmers. In the
long run, Agriculture Secretary
Earl L. Butz said at a news
conference, the bill would also
have meant higher food prices
for consumers.
Democratic lawmakers
charged Ford’s action would
leave farmers without adequate
price protection at a time when
their costs are at record levels
and the government is calling
on them for all-out food
production. They said adminis
tration cost estimates were
greatly exaggerated.
Ford did not —as Butz earlier
predicted he would —soften the
impact of his veto by ordering
administrative action to raise
wheat and feed grain support
loan rates to about halfway
between present levels and
those proposed in the bill. But
he took two steps designed to
mollify farm critics.
The President promised he
would order increases in
support loan rates for wheat,
feed grains and soybeans later
if unforeseen further declines in
farm prices require such
action. Also, in a move strongly
urged by GOP lawmakers, he
announced “we are determined
to do everything possible” to
avoid any revival of federal
export controls on farm pro
ducts.

Navy rescue ships
end Viet evacuation
WASHINGTON (UPI) -
Navy rescue ships ended their
evacuation of Vietnamese re
fugees today and headed
toward undisclosed Pacific
ports, the Pentagon said.
In announcing the end of the
evacuation of at least 18,000
refugees who made their way
to U.S. warships aboard any
craft that could sail or fly,
officials left open the chance
more seaborne stragglers might
be picked up off the Viet
namese coast.
Pentagon spokesman Maj.
Duane Austin said the Navy
ships and chartered sealift
vessels had been ordered to
head out into the Pacific before
dawn today (Thursday after
noon Washington time).
The Pentagon statement said
“the ships are all operating in
international waters and are
heading eastward.”
The statement included a
loophole for the rescue of
Vietnamese who may yet
escape their country by sea. It
said under “international mari
time law, people found in
distress on the open sea will be
rescued by U.S. ships.”

A message to our Member-Consumers.
A few facts
about the rising cost
of providing electric service.
Electric service requires unusually
large investments in equip
ment-much larger in proportion to
sales revenues than most businesses.
W’e all recognize the problems of inflation,
and the steadily rising costs of everything we
buy.
The total system which distributes electric
energy must use poles—up in cost almost 50%
in a year . . . and transformers—up almost
20% ... to name just two items. And most of
us have first-hand knowledge about the rise in
the cost of money which must be borrowed
to finance operations .(money which is
now largely borrowed in the commercial
money markets.)
Growth in demand for electricity brings
growth in the demand for system
improvements to supply it.
W’e resist increases in our wholesale electric
rates through every channel open to us. W’e
deplore the continually rising electric
rates—all the more because we came into
existence to provide electricity to people who
didn’t have it ... and who rarely could
afford it where it was available.
armada is headed with the
refugees it has picked up from
barges, fishing boats and
ditched helicopters in Viet
namese coastal waters, Austin
said:
“They’re moving out into the
Pacific, generally toward the
Philippines or Guam, but that’s
just a geographic direction and
it’s still up in the air where
they’ll go and where they’ll
offload the refugees.”

Now, where does coal come in? In Georgia,
it is the fuel which generates about 85% of
our electricity. Coal offers a long-term source
of fuel for electricity because we have about a
400 year supply in this country. We must get
on with technological developments which its
use will require, for oil and gas sources simply
will not meet the world’s future demands for
energy. And accelerate nuclear development,
said by many to be our best bet for years to
come.
But ... it is the outrageous rise in the cost
of coal that is at the root of the problem!
Coal prices are up as much as eight times what
they were about a year ago, at some of the
mines ... and the increase continues.
This is the reason for the “fuel
adjustment”—authorized by the Federal
Power Commission to allow the power
supplier to pass on the escalating cost of fuel
... and which shows up as an added item on
the consumer’s electric bill each month.
We’re doing all we can to hold the line on
costs. We feel obligated to reach the
consuming public with some of the reasons
for rising electric rates ... and some of the
causes of the problems we face today.
