He reminded his listeners, however, that not all in this country have equal opportunity; thousands go to bed hungry every night. He pointed to specific areas where people have little opportunity, and said "if they had a chance they might be the people who find a cure for cancer or arthritis."

"In short, it is my opinion that this study and report was conducted and prepared to satisfy some preconceived conclusion," Mr. Ludlow said. Water Need Robert B. Hilbert, general manager of the Salt Lake County Water Conservancy District said that water supplies in Salt Lake County are only adequate until 1975. He said that water wholesalers buying water which affects 200,000 people have already been advised that supplies are short, for the rest of 1972 and will be for 1973.

Regarding increasing water releases into streams, he said that this would provide no guarantee that the extra water would be left in the channel fcr fish. There is no law in Utah which would stop anyone farther down the stream from appropriating that water for his own use, he said. A director of the Central Utah Water Conservancy District Clifford L. Ashton, a trial lawyer who said that he had much ex perience in water right litigation said that if Utah's portion of the Colorado River water is not all used, even temporarily, the risk is great that Utah will permanently lose its entitlement. He said, "Anyone familiar with water litigation knows that there is nothing as permanent as a 'temporary' water right." Contract-Boun- d Mr. Ashton said that the project had been approved by Congress, the people had approved the project, political officials had all worked for approval of the project, the Bureau of Reclamation and the Central Utah Water Conservancy District were mutually bound by contract, and the project was already well under construction.

Kevin Styler, a student from Delta High told the hearing that people in the county have been modernizing irrigation systems in an effort to conserve the water and to make it go farther for years, "but there is simply not he said.
