Guard repair snow damage PITTSBURGH (AP) Two hundred National Guardsmen from two units were called up yesterday to help West Penn Power Co. repair major snow storm damage in West moreland and Fayette counties. The men, members of the headquarters company and company A units of the Ist Battalion, 110th Infantry from Scottdale, Mt. Pleasant and Connellsville areas, will help remove trees, branches and other debris blocking the restoration of downed power lines. They were the first units to be called up, although more than 100 National Guradsmen ith various skills have been tapped individually for service-this week. Westyenn also said that 14 towers in its "backbone' transmission network in Fayette County were pulled down by the weight of the ice and snow and predicted it would be some time before they ar s e repaired or replaced. "It's` not directly related to many of our service problems," said a spokesman for the utility. "But it reduces our alternatives in terms of providing electricity." He noted that one major cable was covered with ice 27 inches thick. West Penn, hit hardest by LEN GO PIONEER° Sunday's heavy snowfall, said 85 per cent of its customers who lost power during the storm have had service restored. But close to 20,000 of the 125,000 customers who lost their electricity will be without it at least until Saturday. "Transportation and communication have been such that we are still finding people without service," said West Penn. He added that residents of eastern Westmoreland and Fayette 'counties will "have problems for several more days at least." In the face of heavy criticism frotn county and state officials, including Lt. Gov. Ernest Kline who said the utility was dragging its feet on repairs, West Penn said: "Our problem is to get service restored. We'll worry about criticism later." Meanwhile, the rest of the state's utilities promised yesterday that service would be restored by the weekend to all but the most remote customers. But even as they spoke, their work crews were finding two repairs where one had been before. "It looks now like we had 16,000 people out during the storm," 'said a spokesman for Bell Telephone Co. "Several thousand people are still out.'? He said linemen are still crawling through snow banks and avoid downed live wires to do repairs in Fayette County. The Pennsylvania Electric Co. said 5,000 customers remained 'in the dark in Cambria County and about 50 scattered homes were still without electricity in Cam bria County.
