The Air Force should consider breaking the complexup. he said. “T believe the Air Force should be compelled to fully examine at least two other alternative deployementareas before a final deployementdecision is made.” Mathesonsaid. Before the gove .or left Utah Wednesday. the State Senate rushed unanimous approval of a resolution asking Congress to reconsider the racetrack plan for deploying the MX. The senators believe the large racetracks will take too much land outof public use. Instead, the senators urged that the Air Force lookfor alternative plans. The-Utahlegislators were also concerned about Soviet targeting propriate substantial funds for capital improvements Matheson told the subcommittee, “‘to aid the states and their communities in the development of schools roads hospitals” and other public facilities Later, the state will need payments in lieu of taxes to support the new facilities and programs brought in by MX construction, he said. Matheson obviously wanted the funds committed before construction of the missile complex begins. The Air Force has said Matheson will have veto power over the MX plan and the governor indicated Thursday that he will use the powerif any part of the project doesn't meet Specifications laid down by the state. “In myrole as protector of the interests of the people of Utah.”” Matheson said, “I must insist that the Department of Defense and the Air Force make the strongest case possible demonstrate that deployment is necessary for the national security and thatit is being done in a mannerthatis defensible” in all ways. Doctors Fight Inj ection Execution BOSTON (UPI) — Doctors should refuseto participate in executions by lethal injection of drugs — a form ofcapital punishment already adopted by four states — two Harvard Medical School Medical experts said today. Writing in the New England Journal of Medicine, Professor William J. Curran and Dr. Ward Casscellssaid involvementof the medical profession in druginduced deaths represents ‘‘a corruption andexploitation of the healing profession’s role in society. “The growing adoption of these programsraises serious ethical issues for American physicians about their continued and expanded participation in state- ordered executions of human beings for crimes.” they said. Oklahoma, Texas. Idaho and New Mexico have adopted laws requiring capital punishment be carried out by drug injections rather than electrocution or the gas chamber. Florida is considering suchlegislation. “If the medica! profession refuses to cooperate with these laws, then it would effectively nullify them, since nurses and other health personnel can only acton the direction and under the supervision of physicians,” Curran, an expert in medical law, said in aninterview. “No medical practice act of any medical or allied health profession licenses it members to kill,” he said.
