Brown announces candidacy
WASHINGTON—California Gov. Edmund G. Brown Jr. formally began his quest for the Democratic presidential nomination yesterday, declaring himself the only political leader capable of awakening the United States from its malaise.

KANSAS CITY, Mo.—A concrete and steel fuel transfer tube was damaged during testing at the Wild Creek nuclear power plant near Burlington recently, the state Department of Energy said Tuesday.
Damage minor at Wolf Creek
"Really it is a fairly simple matter to repair the concrete, replace the steel plate and repair it," said Kair Seyfirt, chief of the NUC's office in Arlington, Va. "We are going to work with them."
Soyfri said the damage seemed to have been caused by using too much air pressure during testing. Utility officials said the tube would be used about one inch deep.
Lyle Koeper, a plant spokesman, said the problem should not delay construction, which is scheduled to be completed in 1983. The plant is being built by Darden Systems.

WASHINGTON (AP) - The Senate gave its approval last night to move of the biggest and most powerful bill through Congress, including $20 billion for the development of synthetic fuels.
The $3.1 billion measure, approved 65-19, now goes to a conference committee where differences will be resolved with a much less expensive House version.
The legislation gives a big boost to President Carter's energy plan, first proposed last July 15.
"Success in Nicaragua made more people in El Salvador impatient," he said. "Nicaragua applauded what eventually happened in El Salvador."
The bill passed yesterday would establish an independent five-member commission on energy prices to increase dollars in price and loan guarantees to energy companies willing to invest in
development of various alternatives to imported oil as well as incentives for homeowners and renters to weatherize their homes.
The legislation also includes about $14 billion worth of incentives for the
Persons who earn less than the median annual income of about $16,000 for a family of four would be entitled to grants of up to $350 on each $750 spent on weatherization.
A number of the followers of ousted Nicaraguan dictator Anastasio Somoza fled to Honduras, where they are now stirring up political dissent. he said.
The legislation also includes low-interest loans of up to $2,500 for persons who earn less than $40,000.
Synthetic fuels, such as oil and gas extracted from coal, shale oil and tar sand, have always been too expensive to develop commercially. Carlier has urged the government to bring big enough to permit synthetic fuels to become an alternative to imported oil.
The president has set a goal of producing an equivalent of 1.5 million barrels of imported oil from synthetic fuels by 1995.

"Cuba is costing the Russians a couple million a day," he said. "The Russians just cannot afford to intervene as the United States has."
The constant threat of warfare has led to change in the pacifist attitudes of Costa Rica, he said.
The prime agent of change, Stansifer said, is not foreign intervention, but cross-the-border politics.
"The Latin American countries are so involved with each other that movements are bound to spill over the borders," he said.
"Honduras is polarized between different political factions." He said that the presence of revolutions hardened political attitudes on all sides.
FOR EXAMPLE, the July Nicaraguan revolution influenced unrest in El Salvador, he said, and it escalated political tensions in
Stansifer said that whenever there was a bitter conflict under one government, neighboring countries had to take a position one way or another.
"Costa Rica is one of the most pacifist nations, but it has turned toward thinking of defense," Stansfer said.
"Costa Rica doesn't even have an army, but now it is considering one."
