I Public Utility Commission attor- [ney Allen King said the phone com- panys request is the largest in the Inistory of the four-year-old state . agency. They’re asking way too much,” ingsaid. “Not by any stretch of the agination do they need $326 mil- Residential customers’ bills jump a minimum of $1.75 and ore with increased charges for lirectory assistance and optional fea- res such as push button dialing under SW Bell’s proposed rates. Proposed charges for directory isistance would increase from 20 cents to 25 cents and the number of free information calls would be cut in half, from 10 to five. Phone company officials said the reposed increases would raise SW ell intrastate revenues in Texas 11.65 per cent, not counting income from longdistance calls to points out- , side the state. No change is proposed in intrastate long distance rates — the Federal Communications Com ission approved an increase in in- rstate long distance rates in June —but the phone company is seeking to change the procedure for calculat ing so-called lifeline or measured service rates to a system similar to long distance charges. Holiday Customers trying to save money by making 25 calls or less per month would be charged on the basis of how long they talk, the time of day and distance of local calls. SW Bell said the brunt of the in crease will fall on vertical services such as Centrex and PBX equip ment, up an average 18.7 percent or $120 million, and private line cus tomers, up an average 78.9 percent or $74.4 million. The phone com pany requested the new rates be effective Aug. 12 but the PUC is not expected to act on the proposal until September. The $326.3 million increase would represent an 11.65 percent increase in intrastate revenues for the phone company that serves 80 percent of the state. “Double digit inflation eats up the gains that we make in in creased sales and reduced ex penses,” Paul Roth of Dallas, SW Bell’s vice president for public affairs, told a capital news confer ence. “Our earnings must be better if we are to attract the tremendous amount of capital that we need to keep up with growth.” The PUC granted SW Bell a $57.8 million increase in rates in its first rate case on Dec. 21, 1976, another $124.5 million on Aug. 14, 1978, and an additional $138.7 million on Nov. 21, 1979. Nuclear protesters still on reactor site United Press International GLEN ROSE — Organizers of a protest at the $2 billion Comanche Peak nuclear power plant say as many as 35 demonstrators are still hidden away on the facility’s grounds. Seven protesters arrested Saturday at the brushy, 8,000-acre con struction site were being held at the Hood County jail in Granbury. A spokesman for the Comanche Peak Life Force, which staged the demonstration, said some of those still on the Texas Utilities Co. property had been there since Thursday. It is the longest occupation of a U.S. plant that is non-operational, the spokesman said. No additional arrests were made Sunday as demonstrators con tinued picketing, singing and staging anti-nuclear skits at the front gate. A Department of Public Safety helicopter, sherifTs deputies, Texas Rangers and security guards with dogs searched the rugged country inside the plant’s fences for members of the protest group. Demonstrators could been seen running for the cover of bushes when news helicopters approached. Most of the protesters were from the Dallas-Fort Worth area, but others came from Austin, Oklahoma and Pennsylvania, said a Life Force spokesman. About 100 were at the main gate during the peak of the demonstrations. In June 1979, 48 demonstrators were arrested for entering the plant. -y way deaths at 42l ■ totally exha * you’ve given® lands and itood at attf nual Turke) inds at Kyle hymn, n probably 1 lent of the A! oach D.X sleeves roll® led and be i >od fight, as ; to and eng /ar Hymn position \&M.

This year’s total was high er than the last similar weekend Fourth of July holiday. During the 78-hour Independ ence Day holiday, 42 people died in traffic mishaps in Texas, mostly sing le-vehicle accidents. The counting period began at 6 p.m. Thursday and ended at mid night Sunday. There were two accidents that kil led three people — one near Beevil- le, Texas, and another near Sabine Pass. DPS spokesman Richard Grim- mett said the 42 victims were killed 36 accidents — 31 of which were single-fatality wrecks. Nineteen of the 36 accidents involved only one car, he said. Eighteen people were killed in last year’s midweek, 30-hour July 4th holiday. In 1977, the last 78-hour oliday, 35 people were killed in exas. DIETING?
