The speeder entered a ''dead end street and Zamora halted his patrol car and waited. At that moment Zamora heard a loud roar to the west froma gully in populated area covered with sagebrush. "I could see dust fly up." he recalls I thought there was something that might 'have blown up, since thetes a dynamite shack over theie. " Zamora drove his car on a bumpy toad to the top of a hill for a look. Slightly, more than half a mile away,, nestled in the guliy, was a white object that appeared from the distance to be a car turned on end Zamora also said lie saw two figures beside the object. He heatedly denies he ever reported seeing little men. All I could see from that far away was what looked like, two sets of white coveralls beside the object. I couldnt see any features, just two figures in the distance. It was like two sets of coveralls hanging on a washline, thats all.. They looked about four feet high. Zamora radioed that he was going to investigate. Then he drove along the bumpy road, losing sight of the object while in a dip. He stopped the car at the top of a mesa some TOO yafds from the object and got out. In the gully about 20 feet below him, the thing sat silent. The two figures had disappeared. Zamora advanced closer. was with one end, which I figure was the front, sort of and smooth, with no windows or openings of any kind. It was sitting on legs about four feet tall and seemed to be about the size of a car." A sudden roar from the "eng" almost deafened Zamora. Thinking it might explode, the officer turned and ran for some bushes. Glancing back, he saw the object rise straight up. He dove into the bushes and covered his head, then peeked up. One . . .

"It finally came on okay, and I asked the state police to send out Sergeant Chavez. Sgt. Sam Chavez of the New Mexico State Police picks up the story: "He (Zamora) was quite emotional and upset when I got here. Finally, he told me what he had seen and we went down into the gully " smouldering and ground they lound six ,rur about 10 by 18 inches imprints forming the rough shape of a diamond and two round indentations a few inches soft the '' apart. Chavez notified the military, who sent men to the scene. They examined the ground for radiation, taking samples of both in scope and geography, that it stands out by itself. But what about the Bear River Compact between Utah, Idaho and Wyoming? Or the recently formed Four Corners alliance among Utah, Colorado, Arizona and New Mexico? Or the multi-stattax, traffic and other regulatory compacts through which states have reciprocal agreements with other states? This Rocky Mountain Federation Federation, e which started as an idea in 1965 at Denver and took one more step nearer actuality here in Cheyenne this week, Appears discussed here in Cheyenne has tremendous potential for development. And its geographical distribution makes that potential greater. It stretches from Canada on the north (bordering Idaho and Montana) to Mexico on the south (bordering Arizona and New Mexico). Colorado bounds the Great Plains; Wyoming and Utah comprise the heart of the Rockies. And this Federation is ambitious. Arstates its goals as: ticle III of its s To promote the general welfare of the states of Arizona, Colorado, Idaho, Mon being con- siderable future promise. Traditionally, the interstate compact has always worked to the advantage of the smaller states, or the more isolated states, or the states which lack the political muscle of the more populous areas with the big electoral votes. No one has ever doubted the wisdom-o- r the strength of an alliance such as the Colorado River Compact.

And Utah gets the benefits of such an organization for $10,000 per year, wmch is the state's apportioned share of tire Federation budget (based on population). Colorado, for example, pays $20,000 per year and Arizona puts in $15,000. Wyoming pays $5,000 and the rest, including Utah, put in $10,000. A federation such as this can set up and carry out cooperative programs on a or merely multi-statbasis. region-widAn example could be cooperative development of the oil shale deposits of Colorado, Utah and Wyoming. But even more important could be a cooperative interchange of research information on such vital Western masters as tourism, industrial development and e e Naturally, no such Federation is going to work together so smoothly as to eliminate all friction. There will be political differences, as the political balance of power shifts. (When the Federation was first proposed, three of the stalls had Democratic governors. Now only one Democrat, Calvin L Rampton of Utah, is a state chief executive.) There will be differences between the geographical states which have existed for yeais But the governors of these seven states feel that the advantages to be rightly so gained from cooperative efforts will far outweight divisive factors.

V similar lack of correlation between the value of a nation's currency and the productiveness of its economy can be A shown in all other countries. The Germany of November, 1923, was physically in much better shape than the Germany immediately after the armistice of November, 1918. But the purchasing power of the German mark had dropped in 1923 to less than a billionth of its purchasing power in 1918. The France of 1939 was many times more productive than the France of 1914, but the French franc of 1959 was worth less than a hundredth of the franc of 1914. Compared with even 10 or 20 years ago, the currency units of leading South American countries will buy only a tiny fraction of what they would have bought then. Buf' nearly all these countries are more productive than they were then. The value or purchasing power of a currency unit depends upon what it is convertible into and how many such units are outstanding. The reason the " dollar "has so much less purchasing power today than in 1933, in spite of the great growth in our national incorrie and wealth since then, is that there are so many more dollars outstanding.
