Miss Shackelford escaped injury in the accident Oil shale is not a panacea for Americas energy problems, and great expectations from it are probably doomed to disappointment, John Carver, former undersecretary of the Intenor and member of the Federal Power Commission, said Fnday. His was one of several conflicting views given at a seminar on oil shale Friday at the Hotel Utah Others believe oil shale will bnng vast wealth to Utah; that it will ruin tne state's environment and destroy rural lifestyles; that it is the answer to the energy crisis. The seminar was sponsored by the Utah State Bar, the Federal Bar Association in Utah, the Salt Lake Area Chamber of Commerce and the Utah State University Environment ar.d Man Program. Carver, in a luncheon speech and in an interview with the Deseret News, said problems now unforeseen will probably arise with oil shale development. We are dealing with an unknown technology, and a lot 'i problems arise on a construction basis we didnt know about on a pilot basis, he said. Known problems are what to do with the spent shale, scarcity of water, and problems, such as housing, schools, roads and other accommodations for the influx of workers. Despite the problems, development of shale will proceed, Carver predicted. He noted that big companies' have paid enormous amounts to lease three sections of government land containing shale and they must produce oil or lose their investment Carver said America must respond to the energy crisis o and develop its own resources or we will be a on yo-y- the Arabs string. Max D. Eliason, vice president of Skyline Oil Co., which plans to build a prototype oil shale extraction plant, told seminar goers, It is truly a national tragedy that this large storehouse of energy in oil shale remains untapped at this critical juncture in the nations history. over 600 billion barrels of recoverable oil in the shale deposits in Utah, Colorado and Wyoming and even a small fraction of the reserve would be a welcome supplement to the U.S. oil supply at a time when high prices, public inconvenience and international blackmail characterize our energy picture. Eliason said it is clear the U.S. must develop all of its available energy resources in order to meet our exploding demand for energy. Asst. Utah Atty. Gen. Robert B. Hansen outlined the money benefits the state may realize from the oil shale and the likely detrimental effects. plants These include: degradation of the air, soil and water; disorientation of permanent residents as their semi-rurenvironment is transformed into an industrialized one, and heavy burdens on schools, health facilities, housing, roads and law enforcement.

It isnt broadmindedness at all its moral apathy, or maybe moral cowardice. Youth of today need to learn to be tolerant of people, but intolerant of untruth, of laziness, of immorali'v, declared President Ezra Taft Benson cf The Council of the Twelve. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-daSaints, Friday night. He keynoted an Eagle recognition banquet for Scouts and Scout leaders at the Utah State University Center. Our youth need to develop qualities of leadership, he said. They need to learn the value of staying power . . . They need to the devotion to duty learn devotion to duty that keeps a good doctor on the job right around the clock in an emergency the devotion to duty that leads a scientist or a teacher to persevere in a low paying position in the public service because that is where his or her maximum contribution can be made. President Benson said the problem is not a boy problem; it is a man problem, the problem of providing leadership to teach the Scouts cooperation and help them develop y qualities of leadership and the value of staying power. It is not for us to moan and groan about juvenile delinquency and other problems of our youth, he said. Let us rather use all possible time and energy in trying to develop Club, the through Scouting, the youth Future Farmers of America, the church, school and community organizations. Youth need inspired leaders to help them to be honest with themselves; to guide youth safeW along lifes pathway is the noblest work of all. President Benson called for men who can appeal to boys and inspire them to want to live right to participate in Scouting. Lets mobilize men, hundreds of men, who love boys; who believe in them; who not only have the technical skills, but who will inspire them, because boys need inspiration Preseven more than they need information, ident Benson said. 4-- I am sure that all of us here love the youth of America. Our boys and girls, young these are our greatest men and women assets. We have confidence in them.

The commissions accepted bids for several road projects, including two miles of the belt route from Redwood Road to 5700 South in Salt Lake County, and heard protests from Price residents against a proposed overpass in their neighborhood. Otis Winn, a Salt Lake City trucking industry representatue, warned that banning triple trailers (combinations of truck and trailers exceeding the 65 fe"t now allowed and ranging to 105 fet in total length) would cause trucking to migrate through Idaho and Wyoming. He said requiring tiucks to be broken into smaller units at Utah borders could make materials more costly for Salt Lake area manufacturers and slow deliveries ta the extent unemployment would increase in Utah. The triple trailers have been strongly opposed by the Utah branch of the American Automobile Association, on grounds they are a highw ay hazard. Before Winns presentation, Highway Department director, Blaine J. Kay, suggested allowing the large trucks on carefully monitored segments of through Weber, Daus, Salt Lake, Utah and Washington from Salt Lake to counties, and on Nevada. Meanwhile, Luke Pappas, a Price attorney, presented a petition signed by about 2?0 property owners along Price's Main Street from 2nd East west to the town's northwest residential area.

Calvin L. Rampton made that statement Friday to the Governors Advisory Council on Community Affairs. He was asked if the current attempt to have the Utah Land Use Act placed on the ballot in November would prevent the counties fron conducting land use studies and planning. Even though the bill is not law, Rampton said land use plans and studies could be conducted under present county zoning regulations. If the attempt to have the land use act placed on the ballot is successful, Rampton said, it would take an extensive campaign to educate the people on the issues. He said many impressions given by people seeking signatures for the referendum petitions are not accurate. Support from the Utah League of Cities and Towns, the Utah Association of Counties and the community affairs council will be necessary to see that people become informed on the land use issues, he said Clearing skies, may be colder Shale funds ruling Rain showers, snow flumes, canyon winds should all be brushed aside by tonight, making way for dry, sunny weather Sunday. Afternoon temperatures will range from 55 to 65 after readings today from 45 to 55 in the north and 50 to 60 south. Lows tonight will be in the 20s and lower 30s. U.S. District Court Chief Judge Willis W. Ritter has ruled in favor of the state in a motion concerning oil shale revenue. Ritter said revenue derived from leasing oil shale lands Treaseastern Utah should be placed in interest-bearinury bills or notes, pending the outcome of a suit contesting in title to the land. U.S. Attorney C. Nelson Day argued that the money should be paid directly into the U S. Treasury. But Ritter indicated the funds would probably be more accessible to the state were Utah to win its case, if they were kept in notes. y Anti-aborti- petition received on Secy, of State Clyde L.
