VAizLEY" Opposes Increas In Grazing Fees On Public Lands Senator Frank E. Moss (D-Utah) todav told Interior Secretary Stew art Udall that if the proposed in crease in grazing fees an public lands is allowed to go into effect, "the impact on the livestock 'n dustry in Utah and the Intermoun tain region will be catastroplc." "Much of the industry cannot survive such a serious- economic blow," the Senator said. The Senator asked that any ad justmcnts in fees be delayed until after the results of the Public Land Law Comission study are made available on June 30, 1970. At the very least, he said, "ex tensive public hearings should be held In the intermountain area, Including In-cluding Salt Lake City, before any changes are authorized." Senator Moss quoted from a study recently completed by Utah State University which shows that if grazing fees are increased by 1.23 AUM, as proposed in the rulemaking rule-making announced in the Federal Register on November 16, it could cost Utah ranchers about $835,000 in a.nnual Income.
