Commission promotes tighter nuclear security
WASHINGTON (AP)—The Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) has proposed tightening security to protect commercial nuclear fuel processing plants and uranium and plutonium shipments against sabotage, theft and terrorism.
There was no indication when the commission would be able to adopt the new legislation.
missioner short of a quorum and cannot take formal actions.
The regulations, published in Tuesday's Federal Register, would require sharply increased guard forces for high-grade plutonium, both in storage and in transit.
THEY ALSO WOULD impose, for the first time, a requirement that private guards maintain a specific distance.
Bennett to meet President discuss energy problems
TOPEKA (AP) -Gov. Robert Bennett will meet this weekend with President Carter and top cabinet officials in Washington to discuss the administration's energy program. Bennett also will discuss the extension of a partnership with Agricultural Secretary Bob Berkala.
Bennett told reporters at a news conference yesterday that he and the 40 other governors were invited to attend a meeting tomorrow evening with chief energy adviser James Schlesinger. A meeting is scheduled with the President Saturday.
"I believe they will hear us," Bennett told reporters in his office. "But whether they'll speak is up to them."
Suggesting the governors were part of a presidentially played at selling the Carter energy program, Bennett said he never expected the company to give information know he is dissatisfied with the plan.
The governor said he also had a meeting scheduled Friday with Bergland, during which Bennett said he would push for support of a new farm bill now in the Senate.
That bill proposes a 1977 wheat target price of $2.99 a bushel and a 1978 target price of $1.10, both substantially above the materials contained in the House version of the bill.
Carter has said the Senate prices are too high, and has indicated he would veto that bill if it came to his desk in the present form.
"We could come up with a lot of money for the farm bill if they got rid of a lot of that minute like seeing that some yellow snail is saved if you build a dam," Bennett said.
Bennett said the money necessary to provide the $2.90 wheat target price could come from cutting a lot of federal boon funds. He also noted the importance of Health, Education and Welfare.
Bennett said he would deliver a pitch in his meeting with Carter for total deregulation of prices on new natural gas supplies. He also aimed to incentivize aims at increasing production.
He said enough gas and oil were available underground in Kansas, Oklahoma, Texas and Texas. "It's a good nation's energy needs until use of nuclear and alternative energy sources are suf-
But, he said, producers now have insufficient incentive to go after the reserves. He said he regards deregulation as a better option and turns to the full oil depletion allowance.
OKLAHOMA CITY (AP)—Two small children, left sleeping alone in their father's car, were burned to death yesterday when someone stole the car and set it on fire, authorities said. Seven hours later, a 19-year-old man surrendered.
Police said they didn't know why the car had been set on fire.
Man steals car, sets it on fire; 2 sleeping children die in blaze
The man in custody was identified as Michael Creston Moore of Newcastle, Okla. Police said they did not know of any connection between Moore and the children's father.
The car in which the children were sleeping was stolen before dawn, officers said, while their father was delivering newspapers at an apartment complex.
Police said the fire appeared to have been set deliberately. They also said the thief may not have realized the children were sleeping in the carpeted hatchback area.
Police said Moore, accompanied by an attorney, was booked on two murder complaints pending further investigation. No formal charages were filed.
They said the man's 18-year-old sister also was taken into custody in connection with aiding and abetting his escape by hiding him.
shippers be certified in good mental health, as well as good physical health.
The victims were identified as Melissa Isaac. 6. and her brother. Martin. 3.
Although companies presumably would not do so knowingly, they could hire a lunatic to guard nuclear materials without knowing that NRC standards, a soaked man, said.
Officers said the car apparently was driven directly to the death site, eight blocks away, where its interior was doused with a flammable liquid and set on fire.
The proposed new rules also would increase the requirements for nuclear shipment guards to stay in contact with those ships that could summon helm if necessary.
THE PROPOSED REGULATIONS would not apply to nuclear power plants. Instead, the rules would apply to 12 nuclear fuel facilities operated by nine companies under a commission and to three companies licensed for nuclear material transportation.
Organized terrorism in recent years has focused new attention on the possibility that nuclear fuels could be stolen and fashioned to deliver explosives, and aided greats to expose people to radiation.
THE NATURAL RESOURCES Defense Council, an environmental group, asked the NRC to tighten security measures on an emergency basis. Last January, the NRC issued a security, not immediately but a speeded-up rulemaking process.
The NRC and the U.S. Energy Research and Development Administration, the two agencies created in 1975 out of the old Atomic Energy Commission, concluded last year that security measures for civilian nuclear activities needed improvement.
Last May, the NRC proposed requiring the companies to prepare contingency plans that guards could use to foil terrorist attacks or sabotage.
PRESENT RULES REQUIRE the companies to prepare for an attack by deploying proposed rules would require defenses adhere to hold off coordinated, separate attacks by trained, dedicated teams of terrorists armed in a semi-automatic weapons and explosives.

WINCHESTER, Tenn.-A 1930s drama was telecast in a darkened federal courtroom yesterday as a jury of six heard evidence in a $6 million libel suit against NBC and its film "Judge Horton and the Scottsboro Boys."
The other set would increase the physical security required for nuclear installations
SMOKEHOUSE
Among the most attentive in the audience was Victoria Price Street, 70, a principal character in the drama then and now. She is initially as she heard an actor call her a whore.
NBC film telecast as evidence in trial
The so-called "Scottabarbo Boys" were tried three times, and all eventually served prison terms. Eventually, all were paroled or pardoned.
Street, who lives on a tobacco farm near Winchester in east Tennessee, says the network labeled her, slandered her and invaded her privacy with the made-for-telovision movie by portraying her as a woman of questionable character and a perjure during a war; or a war case of 1831, which became a social racist of Indianism in the South.
Street is one of two white women who said they were raped by nine black men on March 25, 1931, as they rode a freight train between Chattanooga and Huntsville. Ala.
Last March, the NRC proposed that nuclear guards be investigated before they

NBSC showed the two-hour program in April 1978. It said the two women had died in 1918. Although both women, then alive, filed for an arbitration broadcast the program again Jan. 3, 1977.
The second woman involved in the case died recently.

Street is portrayed as an attractive brunette with a strong Southern accent in the movie. An actor playing a defense attorney in the movie says, "The defense in this case made one thing perfectly clear—that Victoria Price was a whore."
"The proof will show," Fraley said, "that the scriptwriter, Mr. John McGrevy, made that up and that never occurred, especially to calling Victoria Price a whore."
"NBC, in this production, has accurately portrayed this case," Campbell, the defense lawyer, said. "We are not here to dictate the facts or the credibility of Victoria Price."
"And any inaccuracies were not defini-
