The 'angle lines of the A were about 30 yards long.

Although of great value, the slingshot in concept is quite simple. Instead of dumping the cargo out the back. ..of the; plane and waiting for an extraction chute to open the big one attached to the load,' the slingshot opens the big chute directly. Yep, No. Middleman .This means the middleman is bypassed. The static line, or rip cord, is opened from the plane and variables' such as wind, drift and play on the guideline of the cargo chute are minimized. This enables the navigator to more accurately compute the precise moment to re ' Yards Away 'Closest drop to the target was 40 yards. Using the old method, the average, ac-- , curacy was 95 yards from the target. . In Fridays tests, drums of water strapped d together in payloads were dropped. The importance of the development was noetd by Capt. Roald E. Peterson, Salt Lake, who said that in brush warfare, the enemy at times is only 100 yards away, and pinpoint accuracy is vital. - The slingshot will eject cargo containers one at a time, or they may be placed in aggregates of six. 40 1,700-poun- j- - ,, t f '4 ' v o V w 'J y.y r t .

I have in my file hundreds of letters from people of the city complaining that on fheir retirement or social security income they cannot pay the taxes they now have to pay. Urban renewal has not solved the problem in any other city. Large cities operating unone-thir- d der urban renewal programs since 1949 still have more and worse slum, areas than we have in Salt Lake City. I think were doing a good job here of improving our city with new building and remodeling. The city is providing new sidewalks; xub' and gutter- - and drinking fountains. If we had less taxes, people could improve their own property. I therefore urge the defeat of urban renewal.
