Of State Miller Receives Word On Delegate Certification (Continued from page 1) lots printed for the September 10 Primary Election. A disagreement and court suit over seating of delegates at the Republican convention in July has caused the numerous problems related with the printing of the ballots. The reason the clerks have not printed the ballots as of yet is that they are waiting for the outcome of the court hearing slated for August 20 which is effect might effect the names that are to appear on the ballot. Salt Lake County Clerk W. Sterling Evans said the ballot could affect the primary election and said he would seek an at torney general opinion about the possible postponement of the Sept. 10 election. Ballots should be delivered to voting districts 15 days before the election which means a delivery date of August 23 yet the court hearing is not slated until August 20. Third District Judge Jay Banks said he cant move the hearing day up any sooner without creating a hardship for the people preparing the case. The real problem is with the time involved with the printing of the ballots and the distributions. Some counties hold seminars for election judges and need the ballots by September 4.

(Ted) Moss. Dr. Gordon J. F. MacDonald put forth a sober appraisal of changing climate as he testified on the Moss bill, S. 2350, which basically seeks to make information from Earth Resources Technology Satellites (ERTS) more useful to a wide range of applications. MacDonald said ERTS holds great potential for making better use of natural resources but cautioned that, as of now, the information from satellites is not widely available to many of the people who could use it best.
