Dr. Clarence Allen of the Cali-

as asked about the connection
nd replied, "We don't think

ALTHOUGH small success
:as been made recently in pre-
icting quakes, Allen thinks "it
ill be a long time before we

"And almost all seismologists

is willing to stick our neck out

Some Californians actuallyX
welcome little quakes, thinking.
they relieve pressure in t h e4
ground that might otherwise
cause big ones.
But Allen thinks that theory
is naive.
"IT WOULD take an inordin-
ate number of small shocks to
relieve stresses that are build-

"There are too many faults."

WASHINGTON (M?-President
rord plans to seek postpone-'
ient of clean-air standards for
ower plants to help them con-
ert quickly from oil to coal-
>urning boilers, administration
ources said yesterday.
Interior Secretary R o g e r s
dorton, declining to disclose
pecific policies, told a reporter
he President's State of the
Jnion address Wednesday would
nclude proposals to speed power
lant conversions to coal.
BUT ANOTHER administra-
ion source said the proposal
vould seek to amend the Clean
ir Act, postponing for several
ears the power plant standards
tow scheduled to take effect in
nid-1975.
Morton, addressing the Manu-'
acturing Chemists' Association,
tinted a postponement by say-;
ng that "the policies for de-
relopment of coal are now bal-
anced, in terms of the time
e've got to buy on the en-,
tironmental problems."
Coal was barely mentioned

policies Monday night. Morton
assigned it the central role in
achieving energy independence
by 1985 as promised by the
President.
"IF WE FAIL on coal, we
can't get from here to there.
It's the Big Casino," Morton
said, "Coal is the key."
"We're going to have to en-

courage the use of coal as fast'
as possible . . . To get to 1985
with oil import levels we can
live with, we are going to have
to double the use of coal," he
said.3
Morton, chairman of the cab-
inet-level Energy Resources
Council which prepared policy
options for the President, ex-I
pressed his own strong opposi-
tion to government fuel ration-
ing or similar efforts to control
directly the public's rse of
energy.
"I AM totally opposed to the
proposition that we should put
on volumetric controls and ra-
tion energy for the next ten
years," Morton said. "it is
much better to incline the mar-
ket toward conservation."
In the push to encourage the!
use of coal by power plants in
place of oil or natural gase, -he
administration nas stood by the
insistence of the Environmental
IProtection Agency on the use
of either low-sulfur coalthr ex-
haust-scrubbers to prevent pol-
lution, sources said.
But it was expected to pro-
pose postponement for three or
four years, or even longer, of
the air pollution standards that
would require these measures.
EPA has already been grant-
ing power plants permission to
miss the 1975 deadline under
consent agreements setting
schedules for compliance over
the next several years.

HE WAS asked about reports
of American planes flying re-
connaissance flights over North
Vietnam in violation of the pact.
While not directly acknowledg-
ing the flights, he said "selec-
tive violations" of the cease-fire
"cannot take place on only one
side."
When asked if the United
States was living up to all the
protocols, he replied, "I have
nothing further to add." !
The Cambodian counterattacks
were aimed at pushing rebel
forces back from positions they
have occupied for the past two
weeks, the Phnom Penh com-
mand said.

Neak Luong to Phnom Penh.
Navy sources said all the cas-
ualties were in one boat hit by
five 75mm shells. The convoyj
was carrying more than 250
civilians, mostly women and
children, and ran through a 15-
mile corridor of fire.
Neak Luong, 32 miles south-
east of Phnom Penh, straddles
the Mekong River and control
tof the area is the key to
keeping the shipping channel to
Phnom Penh open. A resupply
convoy for Phnom Penh h a s
been unable to travel upriver for
the past 25 days.

less than 10 miles north of theI
capital, 74 rebels were killed.
