"There s always a tendency to tell the press just so much.'' he says and he's abler to sense when the truth stops and the dissembling begins This is a much better life," McCarthy says in an interview in his office, sitting before a picture of Walter Lippman "I'd have no hesitancy to choose it "I'm much more independent I'm not constrained by constituent pressures, diplomatic pressures, presidential pressures, financial pressures All I'm expected to do is get the facts, and write the truth " The worst thing in politics is raising money, he says "My God there must be 20 some of them are my people in Congress friends, otherwise decent, honorable men who are in jail or in trouble because of the way they went about raising dough The whole system is a corrupting influence."

"The extent to which state and federal leasing programs have operated as simple land giveaways is startling," Cannon told a news conference at the Colorado Capitol "Western coal development is probably the single-mos- t important parameter in the nation's energy equation today," Cannon said "It could make or break Jimmy Carter's national energy plan." Cannon said federal and state governments have leased public lands at astonishingly low rates and the land has been snapped up by speculators who have done little actual mining. He said no more leases should be offered until better use was made of land already leased out and improvements made in leasing programs Cannon said his study also revealed: Exxon is the largest holder of state, federal and Indian leases in the West. Oil companies in general play a dominant role in Western leasing; The five largest federal leaseholders control about 31 percent of the federal coal leases and the top five state leaseholders control an average of 45 percent of the leases in each state, and; Lease speculation is rampant. More than 25 percent of all federal leases have changed hands since 1973 and 34 percent of all state leases have been assigned at least once, and; Only 14 percent of all federal leases and 0.7 percent of state leases are now in production. Therefore, Cannon said, enormous coal expansion in the West can be supported without additional leasing. The report said 16 billions tos of federal coal reserves now were under lease. In addition, six Western states have issued 2,553 coal leases, half in the past five years, and covering three times the amount of federal land under lease, States included in the study were Colorado, Montana, New Mexico, North Dakota, Utah and Wyoming. Cannon said his study revealed the average amount of money paid for federal lease land amounted to $17.79 per acre. He said the state leases averaged only 55 cents per acre, and some "token" lease sales in Colorado have gone for 25 cents per acre, he said. 5 FRIDAY 8 o.m. to 9 p.m. I 4 8 s00A.M.

But Federal Aeronautics Administration officials said Tuesday no decision has yet been made about the new equipment and procedures, despite an urgent recommendation by the National Transportation and Safety Board last month. The NTSB, which is investigating the Sept. 25 crash, recommended a Terminal Radar Service Area (TRSA) be established at Lindbergh Field. This would require that most aircraft flying in and out of the San Diego field be sequenced and separated by at least 500 feet altitude and 1,500 feet in distance. The system would require new radio equipment be installed at Lindbergh Field. Equipment now used at the field only shows range and speed of aircraft. William Reynard, an attorney for the National d Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) s that he had received reports of four over San Diego since Sept. 25. But, he said, there is no legal requirement for pilots or controllers to report such incidents to NASA. They are only urged to do so. According to the air traffic controllers, American Airlines and United Airlines owned the commercial s and the airliners involved in two of the other three involved PSA aircraft. s One of the reportedly occurred Oct. 25 at 2 p.m. A radar screen at Lindbergh Field was shut down for servicing when air traffic began to 99 NT E Master Charge and Banckcards Welcome University Mall Orem SUIT HEADQUARTERS 132 So.
