NEW YORK — The U. S. power industry could save the equivalent
of200 million barrels of oil a year, or 9 percent of its fuel consumption,
by consolidating into operating units using bigger generators, accord
ing to a Pennsylvania State University study.
Dr. John E. Tilton, Jr., who conducted the study with John H.
DeYoung, Jr., a graduate student, said most of the utility companies
simply are not big enough to follow the example of the American
Electric Power Co. system, with huge, efficient generators that pro
duce power more cheaply than other systems.
By saving 9 percent on fuel, the power industry could cut $2.5
billion a year from costs at present prices, the study said.
Fragmentation is the main cause of the lag in building bigger, more
efficient fossil-fueled generating plants and the only solution is for the
government to foster consolidation of the companies, the study said.
John Dolan, an American Electric Power Co. vice president, said he
thought Tilton’s estimate of the savings that could be achieved if all the
1,000 power systems in the United States could be raised to the
efficiency of his company’s system was about right.
But Dolan said there are many obstacles to this and, in reality, the
potential saving frequently is not a sufficient incentive to justify aban
doning investments in existing smaller generators and raising money
to build huge new fossil-fired plants. He also said that when smaller
companies begin thinking about such big ventures, they may begin
thinking about nuclear plants instead of burning coal or oil.
Dolan said the legal and political obstacles to consolidations are
tough and the red tape surrounding a big nuclear venture is even more
formidable.
Jack Schenck, an official of Edison Electric Institute, the industry’s
biggest trade association, wouldn’t comment on Tilton’s figures with
out seeing them in detail but said he believed the power industy in the
United States is making satisfactory progress towards rational consoli
dation and power pooling in order to take advantage of economies of
scale.
He noted while there is still room for improvement as Tilton points
out, the building of even bigger generators would lead inevitably to a
point of diminishing returns. He also noted that the projected growth
rate of power demand in the United States has been cut back signifi
cantly in the last few years.
Tilton made the further point that small utility companies are doubly
deterred from building the largest and most efficient generators by the
high cost of installing and maintaining backup generators in case of
damage to the primary plant.

April to raise $10,000 needed for the station to complete its
$80,000 operating budget. The auction will be conducted on
KAMU-TV; bids for merchandise will be accepted on the
phone. The station also plans other fund-raising projects, in

through advertisements and 12 per
cent through employment agencies.
Blumenson said most available po
sitions never show up in want ads or
on employment agency lists.
“A person has to know where and
how to look and how to promote him
self or herself,” she said.
“It comes down to regarding your
self as a product and knowing how to
package and market that product
and break into the "old boys net
work.”
The marketing techniques include
defining what skills a person’s suc
cesses involved, Blumenson said.
These are determined by analyz
ing 10 or 15 accomplishments in a
person’s life to learn which talents
were used in each experience, she
said. If the talents or skills are repeti
tive, it becomes obvious which
careers would be most suitable.
Blumenson said these talents
should he ranked in order of enjoy
ment.
These “motivated skills” will be
engaged in career pursuits.’
Then comes the entry into the “old
boy network. ”
“But you should do this only after
you determine what your skills are,”
she stressed.
Although the long range object of a
job search is to gain employment,
Blumenson said, “in the short run,
it’s to expand the who-you-know
network. ”
The idea, she said, is to obtain one
interview in the career field of inter
est to impress the interviewer — not
necessarily to be offered a job. With
luck," she said, the interviewer will
provide names of other people in re
lated positions and will mention the
job seeker’s name to them.
