fttntinrl fctar ij Thursday, May 20, 1971 Fuel Adjustment Rates Announced Foul Play Doubted In Drownings TOKYO (UPI)f A U.S. Navy spokesman said today four American sailors whose bodies washed ashore over the last four days may have drowned together in a single boating accident. The four three from the aircraft carrier USS Midway and one from the USS Oklahoma City disappeared after they went on liberty May 9, the same day their ships docked at the U.S. Naval Base at Yokosuka. Their bodies washed ashore separately on beaches near the towns of Zushi and Kamakura outside the mouth of Tokyo Bay over a four-day period beginning last weekend.

The Navy spokesman said autopsies on all four indicated death was due to drowning and "there were no indications of foul play." The discovery of their bodies came shortly after police announced the arrest of a Soviet journalist on charges of buying secrets from an unnamed petty officer on the Midway. However, police 1 1 ed as "too speculative" any link between the arrest and the sailors' deaths. Honor Code Due Probe WASHINGTON (UPI) Army Secretary Martin Hoffmann may order an investigation of the honor system at the U.S. Military Academy at West Point. However, Hoffman re-fused to investigate personally reports of honor code violations at West Point.

Lawyers for some of the 49 cadets accused of cheating asked that he intervene, Army officials Wednesday released a letter from academy superintendent Lt. Gen. Sidney B. Berry saying "an independent assess-m of the honor system at some future date may have merit." rf By CHRISTINA EVANS Sealiee) Itar lie The chairman of the Florida Public Service Commission, following the June fuel adjustment hearing for power companies in Altamonte Springs Wednesday, recommended the monthly hearings be 9 cut back to four a year. "These meetings are taking an awful lot of time I and costing everybody a lot of money, and I can't see why it's justified," Commission Chairman W.

T. pi Mayo said. "I don't see why we couldn't eliminate I the monthly meeting." HE SUGGESTED the monthly hearings be replaced with quarterly reviews and asked the commission legal staff to determine the steps necessary to make the change. The monthly hearings on fuel adjustment began in December 1974 and were established by written agreement following an opinion from Atty. Gen.

Robert Shevin that it was illegal for the commission to increase rates to offset increased fuel costs without a public hearing. Donald Alexander, the commission's rate counsel, said it could take a new agreement or it might require an amendment to the state statutes to change the fuel adjustment hearing schedule. THE COMMISSION currently reviews the monthly fuel adjustment charges at quarterly meetings, and Commissioner Paula Hawkins of 'Maitland said she agrees the quarterly hearings probably would be sufficient. "I think it's a tremendous expense on the customers" for company and state officials to travel 'to the monthly hearings, held wherever the commission happens to be meeting, Mrs. Hawkins said.

A spokesman for Gulf Power Corp. in Pensacola said company officials have traveled 28,000 passenger miles to attend the fuel adjustment hearings. COMPANY OFFICIALS are required to attend the hearings. Their recommendations are routinely I accepted each month and reviewed in depth at present quarterly review sessions. If the monthly hearings were cut back, Mrs.

Hawkins said the power companies would set their own fuel adjustment charges each month. At the end of three months, if the commission determined a company had overcharged, the difference would be refunded to the customers. "My one concern would be getting the refund back to the people who paid it," she said. AT WEDNESDAY'S fuel adjustment hearing, the commission approved a $2.28 credit per 1,000 kilowatt hours for customers of Florida Power 17 cents more than they got last month. Florida Power's customers will pay $39.63 for 1,000 kilowatt hours of electricity next month, down the May level of $39.80.

The company's fuel adjustment credit increased primarily because of a $132,826 refund on the June billing for the cost of fuel for power used by the Company for construction projects but billed to customers during the past year. CUSTOMERS of Florida Power and Light Co. will get a 42 cents credit per 1,000 kilowatt hours on their June bills, down from the $1.32 credit they, received in May. The May charge for 1,000 kilowatt hours was $32.01.
