NI. nuclear foes tie up courts

CONCORD, N.H. P --New
Hampshire officials are trying
to prevent a logjam when more
than 1,400 anti-nuclear power
demonstrators go on trial.
Meanwhile, it is costing the
state $50,000 a day to hold them
in four National Guard armor-
ies.
The demonstrators, arrested
Sunday after a 24-hour sit-in at
the construction site of the Sea-
brook nuclear power plant, with
few exceptions have stood firm
in their refusal to accept bail.
THEY ARE demanding that
all those arrested be freed
without having to pay cash bail.
Bail set during 24 hours of ar-
raignments Sunday night and
Monday ranged from no cash
for some to $500 for others.
Lt. Col. Herbert Geary, who
is in charge of the detention,
said 900 National Guard mem-
bers are involved in holding the
protesters, nmost of them men
and women in their 20's. lIe
said additional expenses for
food and services put the total
cost at $50000 a day.
Geary said kitchens were in
operation at the armories be-

ginning with the noon meal
Tuesday. About 800 of the de-
monstrators were fed hamburg-
ers from Burger King on Mon-
day night, although a number of
the demonstrators say they are
vegetarians; and a breakfast
catered by McDonald's and
Dlsnkin' Donuts.
TWO CIPIZENS groups hate
led a legal fight against con-
struction of the Pubhlic Service
Company's Seabrook plant for
more than five years. During
that time, the stimated cost has
increased from less than $800
million to more than $2 billion.
And construction has been lim-
ited to excavation for the first
of two nuclear reactors, as fed-
eral agencies have withheld ap-
nroval of the plant's cooling sys-
tem.
Critics say the plant is locat-
ed on- a potential earthquake
fault, and that the hot water
from its evooling system would
threaten marine life in a near-
by estuary. The utility says the
plant is necessary to meet New
England's energy needs in the
1980's.
In Hampton, a small coastal

resort comnsrity, officials
were bely eginning to sort out
the long list of defendants
charged with trespassing dur-
ing the weekend demonstra-
tions. Iampton District Court,
wirich has only two part-time
judges, has jurisdiction over
Seabrook.
MALCOLM H A M I L T 0 N,
court clerk, said the first 20 or
so demonstrators tentatively
were to go on trial Thursday.
But he said officials were re-
viewing the issue and the stag-
gered court dates set during the
:rraignment might be changed.
Hamilton said the small court
will have difficulty absorbing
all the cases and that one option
was to hire special judges at
$50 a day= to help alleviate the
load. "We don't have 1,400 cases
every days in Hampton District
Court," he said. ". . . but I'm
certain the state is going to han-
dle it. The judicial system isn't
gong to break down."
The state was expected to
try the demonstrators in groups,
but under the law each defen-
dart may demand a separate
trial.
M E A N W 11 1I E, STATE

tifficiils were reviewing how to
pay for keeltiog the deonistra-
tors' cofined arid ttome legisla-
tors rliready were asking pri-
vately what effect the costs will
hse ois the state's alretils deli-
crte budget.
The state has two emergency
funds totaling $150,000, but that
would be used tip in less than
three days. The budget provides
no contingency fund for the Na-
tional Guard.
Any expenses incurred by the
National Guard while under a

Me~rwhile, som. of the dem-
titnstrritrtrs under arrest contin-
tied to c(timiplrin about their
treatment. More than half of
them are being held at the Man-
chester armory with the rest
distributed in armories in Con-
cord, Dover and Somersworth.

THE DEAN OF BEE'SQUICKIE QUIZ.
Q: The best water for beer comes from:
a) Big Duck Mountain.
b) Underground from Tijuana.
c) A small store in Macon, Ga.
d) None of the above.
A: (d) The way some beer drinkers talk about water,
you'd think Alice found it in Wonderland.
Not that water isn't important to a beer's taste.
It is. Very important.
But the fact is, virtually all brewers filter
and further purify their brewing water.
And Schlitz doesn't stop there. They put their
water through what they believe is the most
sophisticated purifying process of any brewer
in the world.
So when they're through, it's purer than the purest
springwater.
