Owens asked the Rep. Wayne Owens, House Armed Services Committee to hold off on authorizing work on the reportedly safer binary gas because "there are inconsistencies in the military posture in chemical warfare and stated U.S. policies at the Geneva Arms Limitation negotiations." Binary gas has been sought by the Defense Department because it consists of two substances that are relatively harmless until mixed together. Their use wouid allow the U.S. to dispose of toxic gas in storage in Utah and elsewhere around the nation. Nerve gas is kept in U.S. munitions stocks as a counter to use of gas by a potential enemy. Owens said the U.S. was telling the Geneva participants that this country was not manufactunng new chemical weapons, and is reducing stocks of chemical weapons, and at the same time looking for funds to develop binary gases. Over the last several years the Pentagon has sought to deactivate large quantities of old gas weapons, notably at Rocky Mountain Arsenal near Denver, but has met local opposition to doing the work in Colorado and Utah objections to shipping it into the state. old-styl- e Eyring to be honored Dr Henry Eyruig, distinguished CARLISLE, Pa professor of chemistry at the University of Utah, will receive the Priestley Memorial Award here Wednesday.
