Staff Correspondent " SALT LAKE CITY, July 25 (U.R) The Wasatch fault! a an earthquake earth-quake menace to Salt Lake City and - Utah is a highly overrated subject. , That , is the opinio! of Dr. Hy-rum Hy-rum Schneider, professor of geology geol-ogy at the University of Utah and siesomological coordinator for the federal ; government for the state of Utah - - Quite contrary to some public . opinion. Dr. Schneider believes the Wasatch fault has reached a state of complete passivity and that the threat of an earthquake due to a slip in that fault is a remote possibility. pos-sibility. ' For many , years anxious eyes have turned to the slip in the earth's, crust located on the western west-ern slope of Wasatch range- from Brigham City to Nephi and .have wondered when and where the next slip would occur. - But according to Dr. Schneider the last movement occurred some 20,000 years ago. ."We have geological geo-logical proof," Dr. Schneider said, that the last slip in the Wasatch fault occurred many thousand years ago, and since there have been no additional 'faults' in that period of time,' the natural conclusion con-clusion is that the slippage in the earth's crust has come to a standstill1 stand-still1 In explaining tne Wasatch fault,' Dr. Schneider said that several thousand , years ago when Lake Bonneville covered the entire Salt Lake valley, the mountains now known as tne Wasatch range suddenly sud-denly rose above the surface of the ground level. In some places the rise was as much as 6,000 feet.. , .' , , This , catclysmic upheaval of course, wrought untold damage to what are now known as the in-termountain in-termountain states. . After the original period of upheaval, up-heaval, there were a series of minor movements in which the earth was attempting to readjust itself. Each one of these movements move-ments whether 10 inches or 10 feet was accompanied by an earthquake that "perhaps shook the entire state."

Five were killed. years ago. That change is visible at the mouth of Parley's canyon, and shows a fault of perhaps 80 feet However, more recently within the past century there has been no sign oti any major or even minor change in the Wasatch fault, and according to records of the Utah university seismograph, there has not been even a budge out of the slslon in the earth. However, said Dr. Schneider, should the Wasatch fault start movement it would be a disaster for Utah. "If any appreciable movement were to occur, it would wipe out the entire populated area of Utah, and perhaps lay the rest of the state bare and untenable for years to come."

Communism Isn't Powerful enace, Uilllue Declares SAN FRANCISCO, July 25 OLE) Wendell L. Willkie last night warned Americans not to let their distaste -for communism - blind them to the value of Russia's stand against Germany. , He said it is Russia not communism com-munism battling the Nazis, and "a. smart bull that is charging a tough toreador .doesn't allow himself to be diverted by a red flag-." ; Willkie, crusading for national unity, addressed more than 12,000 persons who filled the civic auditorium audi-torium and stood in the streets, at an Americans United rally . "Russia is now the dam that on one wide front is holding off that Nazi force, which, like a flood, has been spreading over the world," he said. "Once that dam is broken, the water will reach almost to our western shores. "Same of our isolationist friends are hysterically distressed because communism is presently, by the grace of Adolf Hitler, keeping back the flood. And they ask: why welcome this help from the communists, when we like them no better than the Nazis? ' Willkie said the answer is simple: sim-ple: Nazism is a powerful menace to democracy, and communism isn't. Church Notice SEVENTH DAY ADVENTIST CHURCH Sabbath school 9:30 a. m.
