"I think the important thing is that we greatly expand the level of effort on both conservation and production, and that's definitely what the president has in mind." Freeman would not talk about specific programs Carter is considering, but he said the discussion avoided politics. He said he got the impression Carter was sharpening his views on various options and how to implement a wide-ranging mobilization effort. "NO ONE suggested that any large sums of money will be coming to TVA, Freeman said. "Obviously, everybody is not going to get every pet idea at the top of the president's list, but I don't think that's crucial.

Nobody can be that cocksure that one idea is more important than the other." TVA is the nation's largest power system and coal user and has the largest commitment to nuclear power of any utility in the country. It provides electricity for Tennessee and parts of Alabama, Mississippi, Kentucky, North Carolina, Georgia and Virginia. fil? Alabama Group Breaks From KICK ixmm Construction to widen the westbound lanes of Interstate 24-40 between the junction of the two highways and the inner loop is scheduled to begin today, State Department of Transportation officials said yesterday.

and 9 a.m. and from 3 p.m. to 6 p.m. "The crews will sometimes be working in the evening," said Ms. Hazel, urging motorists to drive carefully.

The first phase of the program is scheduled to take a month "weather permitting," she said, noting that crews will then switch to median work. The project, estimated to cost $1,975,000, includes converting the three 12-foot lanes into 11-foot lanes, widening both east and west roadways to four-lane thoroughfares. At the present time they are three-lane thoroughfares. Italians Defeated Austrians in 1848 ROME (AP) The Italians defeated the Austrians at the Battle of Goito in 1848.

David Freeman, after meeting Sunday with President Carter at Camp David, said he does not think Carter will fire Energy Secretary James Schelsinger. "There was no hint of any personnel change," Freeman said yesterday. "Jim was there and fiarticipated in the discussion with the rest of us. le seems to be very much in charge as the secretary of energy. FREEMAN WOULD not discuss what was said in the five-hour meeting with Carter, but he said he wanted to dispel rumors that he is under consideration as a possible successor to Schle-singer.

"My assessment of it is that people who are speculating are just doing it because that's the game this week, he said. "I have no basis for thinking that anybody wants me to come back to Washington. If they do, I don't want to go back, and I'm serious about that." A former White House energy adviser. Freeman said he did not think there would be any major energy address from the White House until early next week. HE SAID HE was called at his home Saturday morning by White House domestic affairs adviser Stuart Eizenstat's office and told Carter wanted him at the meeting Sunday.

"TVA is an important part of the energy scene and I happen to. have been a person who has advised the president in the past." he said. "I'd like to think he was just interested in what I had to say." Until his appointment to the government-owned TVA's board in 1977 by Carter, Freeman was most widely known as strong advocate of conservation as the primary way out of the energy crisis.

About 100 members of a north Alabama Ku Klux Klan chapter broke off with the national organization yesterday in what a spokesman predicted would bring dissolution to the Invisible Empire. Jim Davis, a New Market service station operator, said his group voted to withdraw from affiliation with the Invisible Empire, Knights of the Ku Klux Klan, because it was dissatisfied with recruiting practices and the actions of state and national leaders. "WE DON'T LIKE the quality of people they are recruiting low class people, people who are hotheads and habitual drinkers and drunkards," Davis said. "And we're not going to be associated with it any more. "We try to do right, within the law, and we're not a night-riding group of people," he added.

Davis said the New Market chapter, one of two Klan groups in the Huntsville vicinity, will meet at a cotton gin parking lot tonight to form the.new organization. "WE BELIEVE in a white-man's government and in prayers in the schools. And we're going to represent the good, middle-class working people who don't walk around barefooted and (who) look Davis said. 1 Empire, because the type of people they are recruiting don't ever do any good, then just want to raise hell," he said. Bill Wilkinson, imperial wizard of the national Invisible Empire Klan, said from the Denham Springs, headquarters of the group that Davis description of the recruits is untrue.

"THIS WOULDN'T BE the first time that a new Klan has been formed, or attempted to be formed. But it's the first split in this organization," Wilkinson said. The Invisible Empire was launched four years ago when Wilkinson led a split from a klan group headed by David Duke, the Knights of the Ku Klux Klan. Both Klan organizations began recruiting heavily in north Alabama last summer in response to civil rights activities in Decatur. Marches by blacks, staged in Decatur by the Southern Christian Leadership Conference, preceded the Klan activity.

The marches were to protest the arrest of a mentally retarded black man. Tommy Lee Hines, 27, on charges of raping three white women.
