He appeared at the Little America Hotel in a seminar sponsored by the John Birch Society. Calling the transfer of the strategic canal a "suicidal course," Moorer said Three other admirals joined Moorer in pleading with President Jimmy Carter to not go forward with his plans to give away the canal, as it is "absolutely tied to the U.S. defense and the defense of the free world-.- ' The two countries, U.S. and Panama, signed different versions of the treaty; Panama's denied the U.S.a right to keep the canal open by military force.

Some 41 members of Congress have signed a request for a full hearing to imestigate legalities of the Carter administration's treaty, which Moorer (R-Uta- says is an "illegal treaty'.' Ann Turner of South Weber, a key local John Birch member, called "meeting Admiral Moore quite a thrill. He's quite an American hero.

In addition, Davis County Flood Control will be petitioned to make a project there a priority; said Council member Stuart Adams, who lives adjacent to the site.

"I just wish some of our political leaders would wake up and recognize they have a role to play in all of these things, in relation to China. "The White House has been very reluctant to do anything with China, to the point they're willing to put us at great risk. It's not just our nation, but the free world in general.
