He said it is very hard to money out of Con- get any gress at all, and it would be impossible now. In his telegram to the Olympic Committee, Caldwell said. "We oppose Utah Olympics in 1976. Little Cottonwood Canyon, the proposed site, is the center of controversy over current development. All preparations for the games would be conducted in an atmosphere of existing dissension. In a previous letter to the committee, he elaborated on the Wasatch Mountain Club's point of view. "Fundamentally. there is no great difference between Utah and Colorado voters on this issue except that only the latter had an opportunity lo express them selves through the ballot box. Me said the Wasatch Front canyons are important as scenic attractions and that they provide Salt Lake City with a large proportion of its culinary water, the quality of which has already shown a decrease as a significant result of existing development. Caldwell said that promises of no permanent structures to be built in the canyons are not reassuring. We believe under these circumstances a Utah Olympic bid will neither benefit the state nor work to the best advantage of the International Olympics. he said. The increased demands for more development will be met by increased opposition with the result that the preparations for the Olmvnipics will continually be conducted in an atmosphere of turmoil, and the reputation of International Olympics will suffer further setbacks. that Vern Huser. executive director of the Utah Environment Center, said the resolution adopted by board members outlined a number of principles that should be observed if the Olympics are held here One requirement would be to insist on an inventory of environmental resources and an impact study on all Olympic sites prior to construction of facilities. The study would include geology, soils, vegetation, hydrology, fishery, wildlife, stream biology, scenic reresources, recreational sources, historic resources and wilderness values. The group would also seek to assure that the state and all governmental subdivisions "must refrain from using the Olympics as a device for advertising and promoting accelerated growth and develop ment of the state. The would also group request that local citizens and groups be involved in Olympics planning and decision making, that a land use commission be set up at the state level for control over all derelated to the velopment Olympics, that a regional transportation district be set up to plan an environmentally responsible transportalion systems for the Olympics "including some kind of mountain mass transit system," and to recognize that many aspects of an Olympics present opportunities for lasting community and that the improvements proposed Jordan River Parkway concept might well be incorporated into the overall Olympics plan " School Enrollment Declines Stormy Weather On Way A new winter storm threatening a large area from Oregon to Texas moved into Utah today bringing snow to much of the state.

It went to an underwater storage place in Penn sylvania first and finally was consigned to Clearfield which became a glass bank for the armed forces The glass will be sold in 20 lots ranging from 306 to 4,972 pounds each The estimated original cost of the glass in all 10 lots was $30,000, but that figure is believed to be only a small fraction of the cost of production 30 years ago.
