mou to eve effi ne elena ol ty ne -+ For Cleaner Living The conflict between two studies just released regar- ding electric power is more seeming than real. One study, done by the Council on Economic Priorities, found that 15 utilities whose com- bined output equals 25 per cent of the United States energy production, have lagged far behind in installing - an- tipollution equipment. The second study, by the Federal Power Commission, forecast doubled electric power prices by the year 1990-and blamed anti-pollution costs in large part. The two reports are not necessarily contradictory. Fuel costs and interest rates on capital investment are also key factors in the rising price of kilowatts, and will continue to be. Doubtless antipollution efforts will add a further burden, but this is not an acceptable excuse for evading the widely accepted need for environmental protection. Electric energy, as the power industry itself has long boasted, is one of the best buys for the dollar today. The public pocketbook can bear © some extra cost for a cleaner environment. Now let the industry see that it is done. -CHRIST IAN SCIENCE MONITOR Animals Killed in Barn Fire ALBION - About 50 sheep and lambs, a cow and four heifers as well as large quantities of hay and farm equipment were destroyed yesterday afternoon as a West Barre Road barn went up in smoke.

Rescue Work Continues KELLOGG, Idaho (UPI) - Rescue workers found seven more bodies today in the depths of the Sunshine Silver Mine, raising the disaster's toll to 58, . with 33 men still missing. So far only two survivors have been found.

The article was broad- cast by the New China News Agency and monitored here: Articles in the People's Daily, though often written by senior Communist party officials, rank below a formal editorial or a party or government statement. Some China analysts here say the article leaves Premier Chou En-lai and his government an option for more-or less- forceful official reaction. The article disputed Nixon's claim that he was forced by the North Vietnamese to mine their harbors and blockade shipment -of military supplies into the THIS HIGHEST SOCIETY trio shopping along Rome's fashionable Via Due Macelli is composed of (from left) Princess Sophia, wife of Prince Juan Carlos, pretender to the Spanish of Greece, Danish wife of self-exiled King Constantine. throne; Queen Mother Frederika of Greece and Queen Anne-Marie Services Set for Youth After Death in Silo SHELBY - Tragedy struck a Shelby farm family when the body of one of their sons was found Wednesday morning near the bottom of a loaded corn silo on Sanderson Road. .

The following morning neighbors recalled having seen the lad near the large silo when silage was being drawn off Tuesday. The silo, used for the Smith Farms dairy cattle, stands apart from buildings and is larger in diameter than the conventional barn silo, police said. It was said to hold nearly 300 tons of corn - when full and was half full when the search for the body began. Woman's Body Is Identified NIAGARA FALLS, N. Y.

The Soviet statement, drafted after rounds of conferences in the Kremlin by the Soviet leadership, reiterated the Soviet Union pledges of \necessary support\ for Hanoi and urged the United States to return to the Paris peace talks. Moscow warned that the blockade \is a dangerous and slippery road\ and said \it can . lead only to another 'aggrava- tion of international tensions and lawlessness in international relations.\\ It branded the blockade a \gross violation\ of navigational freedom of the . seas.
