Moss was with the leadership of Congress yesterday when the President announced his support for an extension of the price control bill. I support the extension of the Emergency Petroleum Allocation Act as a measure to protect consumers from unjustifiable oil company price increases and to prevent a new explosion of inflation and unemployment," the Senator said in his statement before the Senate. He emphasized that the price of oil, left unregulated by the Federal government, is pegged to the monopoly price set by the OPEC cartel. That price is now $13.40 per barrel and every indication points to at least another $2 per barrel increase in the fall when the OPEC oil ministers again meet," he warned.

The bill was reported out of the Commerce Committee favorably and passed the Senate unanimously. The Consumer Fraud Act sets out five kinds of fraudulent activities affecting consumers and subjects the knowing commission of such acts to stiff criminal penalties. The bill also allows the affected consumer to cancel any contract or agreement resulting from a transaction involving such unfair consumer practice.

For the last forty years, the trend has been away from local governments and toward centralization on the national level. More and more pow er has been taken from local government officials. Revenue sharing has been the one bright spot in all of the taking away of power and responsibility from local governments. It has been the one thing that has allowed local officials to provide their own answers to the various problems facing their jurisdictions, Sen. Garn said. Sen.

Sen Garn said the four year contract award will be used to evaluate products related to the gassifieation and liquefaction of western coals withstand 200,000 pounds of stress, a capacity which would accommodate large cargo planes. It is classified, though, as a general aviation facility which can accommodate 60,000 pound aircraft, a classification which is only a guideline. The airport can be used by passenger and cargo planes, and has been used as such when the Salt Lake International Airport has been fogged in. In the past the facility has based commercial airlines, but the last airline left the airport in 1958. The airlines, says Gibson, just dont find it profitable to use the Ogden Airport when the Salt Lake airport is 45 minutes away. It costs too much to duplicate facilities. The airport expansion project cannot until mid 1976 when possibly be the impact statement will be completed. If and when the statement is approved, Ogden City Council then may decide whether it wants to continue with the expansion program. It may be that costs, in money and in citizen both dissatisfaciton, may prohibit continuation of the project. When the first project was stopped in 1973, a federal court order prohibited federal funds from being disbursed by or to anyone. Ogden City was left with the job of terminating contracts, which cost the city several thousand dollars, according to the Ogden City Engineering Coordinator. If the project injunction should be lifted, then Ogden can possibly be reimbursed for the money it lost when the stop-wororder was issued. The bid for the project in 1972 was favorable, with the federal government assuming about 60 per cent of the costs. Ogden and the state would pay equal parts of the remaining 40 per cent. Construction costs have risen considerably over the past three years, and no one can estimate how much the airport project may cost by the time the environmental statement is approved and Ogden could go ahead with the expansion. Costs may stop the project. And the people may stop the project. The has Roy Citizens Association (RCA) already pledged to fight in court any attempt by Ogden to lift the injunction. Roy City Council has donated $500 to the RCA's cause. The residents of Ogden have by large been silent about the whole issue. The members of RCA have several questions about the impact of the expansion project. They say they dont want increased noise and danger over their homes and schools. The draft environmental impact statement says the increase will be gradual and imThe perceptible. engineers working on the study have concluded that the end effects will not be significant enough to halt work on the project. Another concern has been property values, and specifically the possibility of k Thiokol sale of flares Sen Jake Garn said that he is encouraging the State Department to take action that would benefit both the State of Utah and the Republic of South Africa Sen Garn said that on April 1, 1975, Thiokol Corporation of Brigham City was notified by the State Department that its application for an export license for the sale of illuminating flares to the Republic of South Africa had been disapproved. He said the sale would have meant $547,960 to Thiokol. Its my understanding that the State Department disapproved the application on the ground that the sale of these items would be contrary to the embargo on the export of U S Munitions List Articles to the South African government, Sen Garn said in a letter to Secretary of Slate Henrv Kissinger. "In light of the fact that this type of illuminating flare is not a weapon, the Departments disapproval of the application does not seem justified These flares are used for search and rescue operations. Our refusal to sell them to South Africa may be incompatible with the rules and spirit of international law. The Convention of the High Seas says that every coastal state much have an adequate search and rescue service and, where circumstances require, should cooperate with neighboring states for this purpose. Sen. Garn stated J t 1 home buyers not being able to secure federally insured loans. The Federal Housing Administration receives maps from the FAA indicating the Composite Noise Ratio (CNR) for those areas near an airport. A CNR rating is a composite rating, taking into account all noise factor aspects. The ratings are 1, 2 and 3, with 3 being the zone with the most noise. There are no problems in getting federal loans in a Zone 1. Zone 3 property is practically ineligible for federally insured loans. For construction on property in a Zone 2 a full environmental impact statement is required before any federal loans may be authorized. owners may still secure conventional loans for buildings on Zone 2 or 3 land, and the decision whether to give the loan is made by the bank. Carl Dinius, subdivison analyst for the FHA, says the agency has had to turn down many subdivision loan requests around Salt Lake International Airport and Hill Air Force Base because of the noise created near the airport. FHA Chief Underwriter Nobby Iwamoto said the agency may approve loans on homes already existing, even if they are in a CNR 2 zone. 30 NF.F 40 NEF Property However, said Iwamoto, HIS MAI, taken from tile environmental impact study, shows noise contours. .30 NEF is equal to a 2 CNR, and a 40 NEF is the same as a 3 CNR rating. 1 proposed homes and especially subdivisions may have the loan request denied because of noise. FHA would not approve any loans for buildings at the immediate end of a runway, Iwamoto stated. RCA has expressed concern about Roy High School and Sand Ridge Junior High School being in high noise zones. Last week's article showed Roy High was built at a time during which there was no talk of expanding the Ogden City Municipal Airport. Ogden City Engineering Coordinator Fred Seymour has provided information which indicates Weber County Board of Education was notified by Weber County Planning Commission on Nov. 10, 1969, would become a major that runway Commission couldnt the and runway recommend locating a school in the approach zone for runway 3. Ogden City officials, say the minutes of the Nov. 10, 1959, meeting, reported to the was the only Board of Education that could which possibly be runway 1 1 lengthened. Further, the county airport approach were adopted by Roy City, making it unlawful to erect or locate places of public assembly such as schools, churches, hospitals, apartment housing within an approach zone of a runway.
