Air Force Under Secretary Antonia Handler Chaves said "Federal reserved or rights will not be asserted. He also pointed out that neither State nor Federal law allows the Air Force to reduce the water available to holders of existing water rights without paying just compensation. The Air Force considers the system administered by states for determining the availability of water prior to authorizing its use to be more efficient than litigation in the courts over Federally established rights. The states' system also assures conservation of a scarce resource.

F'irmage Speaks to vVorr.cr.s' Groups Representatives of women's organizations in Utah met at the Capitol to learn more about the MX system and its basing in Utah. The Women's State Legislative Council met in the House of Representatives at the State Capitol Feb. 28th to hear an opponent of the racetrack basing mode for the MX missile in Utah and Nevada. Dr. Edwin Brown Firmage, Professor of Law at the University of Utah College of Law, spoke against the MX racetrack basing in Utah. Dr. Firmage said he objected to our government intentionally making any populated land area a special target to draw Soviet missiles in case of war, to Utah and Nevada as a means of preserving Minuteman ICBM's located elsewhere. "If a decoy strategy must be used, deploy such a system at sea," he said. Dr. Firmage said that, contrary to comments made by Air Force representatives and others, Utah is not a prime target by virtue of Hill Air Force Base and Thiokol being located here. "No serious student of possible Soviet targetting would equate the targetting attraction of an MX system to Hill Air Force Base or a plant making ICBM components. Those targets which must first be destroyed are ICBMs or other strategic weaponry which can Immediately destroy significant portions of Soviet ICBMs. MX carried over three times the payload of our most advanced ICBM, Minuteman III, and will do so twice as accurately. Neither Thiokol nor Hill Air Force Base pose any such threat." Dr. Firmage said that the 4600 "aim points," or hiding places, along the racetracks for the MX missiles would all have to be destroyed by any Soviet nuclear strike. This means that virtually all the Soviet ICBM force of 5000 warheads would have to be targctted at Utah and Nevada in order to land-base- d (Continued on back page) U A&Sgg Shop with the merchants who advertise in The Press and make the space possible for stories you like to read! ,v , Beaver 3rd. and 4th.
