"Most of them (peace movement leaders) are much more to see Hanoi's concerned objectives fulfilled, not yours," said Robert F. Turner, Vietnam veteran and researcher at the Hoover Institution or. War, Revolution and Peace. Turner spoke as the congestion opened Sunday. It will continue today and Tuesday with the delegates voting on a series of resolutions. Generally, the organization has supported the administration. However, it voted at its last meeting in May to label the Vietnamization program a failure as far as it concerned freedom for the POWs. Sentiment appeared hawkish at the Sunday session. When a graying mother of a POW rose to speak kindly of Mrs. Weiss, she was silenced by boos and snouts of "sit down." Mrs. Weiss and Dellinger were members of the antiwar delegation which recently took custody of three Uj5. pilots the North Vietnamese released. The convention delegates also applauded Sunday when it was suggested the league refuse to let Mrs. Weiss's group handle mail exchanges with the POWs. "If you work for Cora Weiss and the peace movement, a few of you will get your husbands or sons back a little early," Turner said, "but Hanoi won't release the lot of them because you're the best thing they've got going.

UH Ultphof County Residents Jam Hearing on Subdividing By JOSEPHINE ZIMMERMAN Some 70 residents of Utah County jammed the county's public meeting room this morning to protest provisions of the proposed change in the county subdivision regulations, Yukus Inouye, Highland, asked why the changes were being made in the ordinance adopted only in 1970. He declared that the changes are confusing and those who have land have no way of planning for the future. "The forsight of planning seems to be in question," Mr. Inouye charged, and he recommended that a more ' thorough study be made concerning the consequences before any attempt is made to adopt the subdivision changes. Howard Jensen, Provo, charged that the proposed changes were hurtful, and that public benefits are fully realized," he said. There had arisen some feeling between the district and the Forer t Service arising from conflicting testimony given by the two agencies at a public hearing on the expected, environmental impact of the project held last month in Orem. Lynn S. Ludlow, general manager of the water district, had followed Mr. Hamre's testimony with a strong statement of condemnation of some of the Forest Service positions. In particular, Mr. Ludlow said of a study done by the service on the minimum stream flows desired for the least impact on fishing in project affected streams, that it was superficial, and appeared to be hurriedly prepared. "In short, it is my opinion that this study and report was conducted and prepared to satisfy some preconceived conclusion," Mr. Ludlow told the hearing.
