United Press International
LOS ANGELES — The
“Beautiful People” ard armed and
dangerous.
Some of them are, anyway.
A generation ago, they would
have joined a tennis or golf club,
or taken up polo. Today, they join
the Beverly Hills Gun Club, a 3-
month-old establishment provid
ing comfortable surroundings for
the wealthy and prominent to
practice defending themselves
with pistols and shotguns.
“We re getting about five new
members a day,” said club presi
dent Arthur Kassell, a security
consultant with a background in
California politics, law enforce
ment matters and the entertain
ment business.
“We’re just getting started, and
we expect to have about 600 mem-
be”s by Christmas.”
The club has unusual added
extras for a firing range — a lounge
with a big-screen TV, chess and
backgammon tables and a re
staurant patterned after the show
biz favorite, Ma Maison, with
umbrella-shaded tables where
hungry shooters can order a steak.
There are plans for a suntanning
deck.
In the carpeted lobby, men^
hers can buy club T-shirts or pis
tols and ammunition. On the wall
is a poster showing a shapely
woman wearing a holster, and
under her the words, “You can’t
rape a .38.”
The heart of the club is a 17-
position firing range with targets,
which can be set at any distance up
Nuclear neglect
charged in suit
United Press International
PHILADELPHIA — General
Public Utilities Corp. filed a $4
billion lawsuit Thursday against
the federal government, claiming
neglience by the N uclear Regula
tory Commission contributed to
the accident at Three Mile Island.
GPU said in U.S. District
Court that “neglience and omis
sions by the Nuclear Regulatory
Commission in the performance of
its duties and reponsibilities were
causes of the TMI accident and the
resultant damages to GPU.”
The complaint seeks damages
for the utility, its customers and
shareholders.
A GPU division, General Pub
lic Utilities Nuclear Group, is the
operator of Three Mile Island nuc
lear power plant near Harrisburg,
Pa., scene of the nation’s worst
commercial nuclear accident on
March 28, 1979.
Among the omissions, the com
plaint asserted, were “failure of
the NRC to give GPU and other
utilities a warning based on a pre
vious nuclear plant incident that
would have prevented the TMI
accident.”
GPU charged that inspectors
and other officials of the NRC
learned of a similar malfunction at
the Davis-Beese nuclear plant in
Ohio, 18 months before the TMI
accident.
The utility filed a complaint
with the NRC on Dec. 8, 1980,
charging negligence and ommis-
sions. The NRC rejected the com
plaint on June 8, clearing the way
for GPU’s action in federal court.
The damages sought by GPU
include recovery of the estimated
$1 billion cost of cleanup at the
damaged TMI Unit 2 and another
$1.6 billion in replacement power
costs for both units.
The utility is also seeking $430
million for the restoration of TMI,
Unit 2, lost revenues of $930 mil
lion and increased borrowing costs
of $40 million.

Two of the positions flip targets
quickly in and out of view for com
bat-style snap shooting. The shoo
ter can control the time exposure.
Lifetime members pay $300 for
unlimited use of the club and
range. The common folks can
come in for $7 an hour if they wait
for a vacant spot.
Kassell, who wears a 9mm semi
automatic pistol under his three-
piece pinstriped suit, says he
doesn’t like to reveal the names of
celebrities who sharpen their
shooting eyes at the club.
“These people have real worries
that entitle them to privacy —
they remember John Lennon,”he
said.
The club’s newsletter, howev
er, includes photos of Angie Dick
inson, Sylvester Stallone hefting a
shotgun, and Marilyn Lewis,
chairman of the board of the Ham
burger Hamlet Corporation,
squinting through the sights of a
revolver.
For a place called the Beverly
Hills Gun Club, there is a prob
lem. It’s not in Beverly Hills. The
club is off on the wrong side of
Wilshire Boulevard in an indust
rial area of West Los Angeles that
the boutique crowd on Rodeo
Drive, 5 miles away, must surely
consider tacky. The original plans
called for the club to be located in
Beverly Hills, Kassel said, but the
present building was available
sooner, and he still has plans to
open later in Beverly Hills.
Kassell denies the club panders
to paranoia.
T grew up in New York, know
ing nothing about guns,” h
said.“I was definitely not a gu
type person, I just got into thi
through my political work.
“But we can’t pretend ths
there aren’t criminals out there, q
that they don’t kill people or se
riously harm them. That’s a fan
tasy.
“But it’s another fantasy tl
ignore the fact that thousands c
people are buying guns, peopl
who don’t know the first thing ab
out them. We have old ladie
come in here with shotguns soml
guy in a sporting goods store sol<
them, and they don’t know how fi
unload the things.
“These people will be safer —
we ll all be safer — if they knov
how to handle them safely.’’ )
