Bee Scene A New Section Will Appear In The Bee Howard Blewett McGee ruled late yesterday that Mcllin 73 could not be charged with contempt for his editorial comments on Blewett's handling of a case involving a dog that allegedly trespassed on Blewett's garden The case in Superior Court lasted just 25 minutes The editorial published Jan 17 stated in part "In the latest incident this one in the San Andreas court we have the ludicrous situation where the judge (Blewett) deliberately had a neighbor's dog trapped and then hailed the dog owner into his court set the bail and then tried to sit in judgment on the case" Continuing the editorial said "In our view this gives credence to some lawyers' opinions that our local judicial courts have a strong resemblance to kangaroo courts" Me llin who

net electrical capacity of 913000 kilowatts Construction was authorized by the AEC in Oct of 1968 "We have not heard anything of the hearing plans yet" Dave Caplan general counsel for SMUD said late last night "but it's certainly right and proper that the plans should be reviewed by the AEC It's a safe plant and we intend to satisfy everyone that it is" The AEC said that petitions to intervene in the hearing had been granted by the safety and licensing board to eight Sacramentans One of the eight Homer Ibser 2670 Kadema Drive said one of the main issues is the emergency core cooling system The other Sacramentans planning objections at the hearing include Judy Phillips Dick Gregory Patrica A MacDonald George McAdow Bruce Mc Nitt Ruth O'llearn and Myrna Schimke The petition of another Sacramentan Edward Frisby was denied by the board but Frisby was invited to make a statement at the hearing An AEC spokesman said that any person who wishes to make an oral or written statement may
