Nuke firm admits ‘screw up’
United Press International
DALLAS — The controversial
Comanche Peak nuclear plant,
three years behind schedule, will
cost 4.5 million ratepayers in Dal
las and other Texas cities another
$1.2 billion — five times the ori
ginal estimate — and the cost
overrun may go even higher.
For the past six months, Texas
Utilities spokesmen have consis
tently said the plant would cost
$2.24 billion — their 1980 esti
mate. But the company said Mon
day the controversial plant near
Glen Rose would be delayed three
years and cost an additional $1.2
billion.
Utility officials indicated costs
could increase even more.
“As brilliant as we are, we
screw up some, too,” said Lou
Fikar, vice president of Texas Uti
lities, the company that owns the
plant.
A congressional report said
Monday that even without the
new delay, the plant is a “sadly
familiar saga of construction,
financial and safety problems.”

United Press International
DALLAS — Authorities in
Houston are holding two
Louisiana youths on capital mur
der charges in connection with the
weekend shooting death of a Dal
las airport manager, homicide
officers said.
Police charged Robert Paulhus,
19, of Metaire, La., and Sherman
Lyons, 18, of Abbeville, La., with
the death of Red Bird Airport
manager J.C. Bristo, 57. Both
were jailed in Houston and are
expected to be transferred to Dal
las later in the week, police said.
Bristo’s body was discovered
Sunday in the bedroom of his
apartment. He had been shot once
in the head, police said.
Police said Paulhus and Lyons
were arrested Sunday in Houston
on traffic charges before Bristo’s
body was found. They were driv
ing Bristo’s car when arrested and
police said robbery appeared to be
a motive for the shooting.
Barroom brawl
suspect sought
United Press International
HOUSTON — Police are seek
ing a suspect for questioning in a
barroom brawl that sent a police
sergeant to the hospital with a
broken arm.
Sgt. Robert Taylor was sus
pended with pay Monday pending
an internal affairs investigation
into the Oct. 13 incident.
Officials said Taylor com
plained of not feeling well and left
his patrol job early Oct. 13. But
eyewitnesses to a bar fight later
that night said Taylor used a racial
slur in asking a man sitting next to
him to find another seat. The man
refused and a fight ensued.
Taylor was taken to a hospital
where doctors operated on a
broken arm and treated other in
juries he sustained in the fight.
Police said they are seeking the
other man, who fled before police
arrived.
Primary
may be big
United Press International
DALLAS — Dede Casad, the
newly announced Republican can
didate for the Texas 3rd Congres
sional District, said the primary
could be the largest in Texas his-
tory.
Casad, president of the Dede
Casad Public Relations and
Advertising Agency in Dallas,
announced plans Monday to run
for the seat being vacated by Rep.
Jim Collins, R-Texas.
“This is the most ambitious en
deavor of my career, ” Casad said.
“This is a people’s race. And as
their candidate, I will be challeng
ing professional politicians who
are trying to maintain control in
certain areas of special interest.
Casad, who classifies herself as a
conservative, said she was
approached by several people and
asked to run for the House seat,
leading to her decision to enter
politics. She said she does not yet
know who her opponents will he.

Texas Office of Traffic Safety
The new announcement con
trasted with repeated company
denials this year that the cost of
the plant ultimately would exceed
$3 billion and possibly reach $4.1
billion. Monday’s announcement
was the plant would cost an esti
mated $3.44 billion.
Originally, company officials
estimated the twin nuclear reac
tors for the plant would be com
pleted in 1980 and 1982 at a com
bined cost of $779 million. The
new figures released Monday rep
resent a 54 percent cost increase.
Company officials now concede
the first reactor will not be com
pleted until 1984 and the second
in 1985. The anticipated comple
tion date for the plant has been
pushed back five times.
Officials said the most recent
18-month delay was because pipes
used in Unit One of the plant did
not fit precisely. Fikar said a 500-
person engineering team was
trying to solve the pipe problem
— which is approximately one
person for every 26 non-fitting
pipes.
Texas Utilities Board Chairman
T. L. Austin Jr. said the latest cost
increase was caused by changed
regulations of the U.S. Nuclear
Regulatory Commission.
But in Washington, a staff mem
ber of the House subcommittee on
the Environment, Energy and
Natural Resources said a recent
examination of completion delays
and increased costs at 10 nuclear
plants — including Commanche
Peak — showed the problems
usually were the result of utility
companies’ own technical staffs.
The congressional report, for
the panel headed by Rep. Toby
Moffett, D-Conn., used Com
anche Peak as an example that the
utility companies, not govern
ment regulation, are stalling con
struction .

FORT WORTH — Marshall

Knox was staggered.
“That’s my son,” Knox
