Utah pioposes locating the giant undertaking of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration m the Dugway Proving Ground area in sparsely settled Tooele County. The announcement and release of a report was made at a conference in the office of Sen. Wallace F. Bennett, It was to have been attended by all members of the Utah congtessioral delegation. Sen. Frank E. Moss. was there but Reps. Sherman P. Lloyd, were and Gunn McKay, detained by an important House vote. A joint delegation statement was Issued, however, which said: We congratulate the Utah Spaceport Committee tor the thorough and compie-hensiv- e report they have prepared. We endot se the report fully and add our support to the efforts of the committee to riiloim NASA officials of the advantages a Utah spate shuttle launching location would offer. All aspects of the program would be benefited by a Utah locaiton. Costs w ould be greatly reduced in the vital operational stage and efficiency would be Representing tire spaceport committee weie Milton Weilenmann, John W.

He told newsmen that Cape Kennedy in Florida was Utah's main competitor for the space shuttle and that it lookeu as though the sue selection would be announced by NASA within a few months. Altitude Savings He said the Dugvvay ateas 5.300-foaltitude w ould result in a saving to NASA over a period of moie than $2 billion over l Cape Kennedy. The report itself listed the potential savings of $1.8 billion.

Fittingly enough, although I imagine it is only by coincidence. Salt Lake Coun-1- y Attorney Carl J.

Over the years, the genet ai impression has been that the Fiench Bastille was a fairly grim place. Accoiding to the movies on the late show (usually starring Louis Hayward or Ronald Coleman), the Bastille was a plaee vvheie pnxoneis moaned all night long, and the chains clinked and clanked, and the rats sainied. and the poi ridge was seived in dirty tin plates, ard the guouls spent their spare time knocking llie teeth out of aristocrats.

Mr. Hivson said Dugways t altitude meant a substantially greater pay load than at Kennedy, based on a calculation of about 1.7 pounds more for every foot of launch altitude, with no increase in thrust. This means 17 peicent greater payload capacity for the launches in the shuttle mission profile than Kennedy Space Center, he said. He also emphasized the la ah site offers a definite advantage bv having an He explained capability. that from Cape Kennedy the flights couldnt be made over Cuba and from White Sands, N.M., there would be the problem on som flights of flying ever Mexico. A California site has fog and dense population problems. 5,300-foo- From Dugvvay you could launch in all directions, he said. Mr. Gallivan reported, We have at Dugway a great launching pad which cannot be matched. He described tire committee's report as the beginning of an effort to bring the shuttle program to the West. Sen. Moss wanted to know how many jibs the shuttle program would provide and was advised there would be between 3,000 and 7,000. Another major talking point for Utah was that the state has large reserves of natural gas, coal and petroleum, the three principal raw materials used in the production of liquid hydrogen for rocket fuel. It also was pointed out the potential sites are within 120 miles of Hill Air Force Base, a major Air Force installation with "a reputation for excellence in the maintenance of the countrys ICBM resources, giound-to-ai- r missiles, frontline fighter aircraft and the Titan III booster components. Desert Location The Great Salt Lake Desert is an ideal location for a spaceport, the reIt has the essential port concluded. qualities of isolation, low population density, government ownership and security. However, as a result of the geographic factors aftecting Utahs population distribution; a spaceport located on the periphery of the desert would provide one-hou- rs access to the Intermountain Wests major metropolitan areas. Beautiful satellite communities set in the foothills of the Oquirrh Mountains offer convenient access to the remote Dugway site while providing potential spaceport employes a myriad of readily available cultural and recreational g vantages including: Award-winmn- adpub- lic schools, planned communities, hunting and fishing, skiing and hiking, boating and swimming, camping and picnicking, professional and collegiate sports, excellent universities and world famous orchestra and ballet company.
