President Herbert Hoover be-- 1 lieves the executive branch of the government should have the ex-- 1 elusive power to decide when a' president is unable to carry out his duties. In a letter to a Senate judiciary subcommittee, Hoover said he cannot conceive of a group of cabinet and agency heads acting otherwise than in the national interest in such a situation. He opposed plans for allowing Congress to participate in such a decision on the ground that it is despite their promise, months ago, that they would set free all their American prisoners. Observers in Hong Kong specu- lated that the three men are being held as hostages for concessions from the United States perhaps an agreement to include Urges Expanded Study Of the Reds in China in a new East-We- st summit conference.

Crash; Pilots Die Three IWAKUNI, Japan m U. S. Jet trainers crashed into the sea shortly after takeoff Saturday night from the Marine air facility here and all three pilots are presumed dead, an Air Force spokesman disclosed today. Rescue attempts were started Immediately after the crash, which occurred at 7:12 p.m. Japan time (2:12 a.m. p.st.). Nq, trace of the victims had been found five hours after the crash, the Air Force said. The spokesman said that the flamed out almost implanes mediately after takeoff and and that they crashed Into the sea about 1,000 feet from the end of the runw ay. The three aircraft were from the 418th Fighter Training Squadron at Misawa Air Base in Northern Honshu and were on a routine training flight here. Iwakuni is located about 25 miles southeast of Hiroshima. The three planes were identified as F84G jet trainers. "The exact cause of the crash has not been determined the an- nouncement added Range Production And Show-Typ- e Turkey Discussed EPHRAIM Turkey growers have been vainly trying to get range production from a show-typ- e turkey, a California specialist has told Utah produc- ers.

Mr. Macllraith said he believes the transition from the standard to the broad breasted bronze was necessary. But he said many strains have advanced too far toward meat production. Thus he, said, econ-mi- c reproduction of turkeys has been affected. "The beef cattlemen do not use show-typ- e animals on the range.

Mr. Criddle warned that he was not suggesting Immediate change of all agrtcutluarl uses to Industrial, but rather an attempt to fare up to the problems that we will meet as our state develops. With water resource development becoming more and more expensive, the ability of users to repay costs decides whether or can be not the development made. He said that such projects ss the proposed Dixie project are too costly if agriculture must repay all costs under present economic conditions. However, if we can assume he added, that the water is temporarily being banked for future users who will be able to meet the payment requirement, then I dont think we should hesitate move ahead. Mr. Criddle was listed to give the faculty honor lecture before hts appointment by Gov. George D. Clyde as state engineer.

Khrushchev, a frequent guest at Moscows diplomatic cocktail parties, has launched a vigorous campaign against drunkenness in Russia. Pravda said Khrushchev, speaking Wednesday to farmers in Minsk, called specifically for a crackdown on moonshiners. The time has come to raise sharply the question of the struggle against drunkenness and against home brewers, Pravda quoted Khrushchev as saying. This struggle must be undertaken by the people as well as by those charged with enforcing the law . . . He who makes home brew, he who gives drink to his people, act against the interests of the state, against society, and deserves punishment. I have seen a film, Befora It Is Too Late, made by the Soviet Lithuanian Film Studio, he was quoted as saying. In this film the hero drinks vodka very often. It is not seldom that in plays on the stage, the hero is shown with a large bottle of vodka.

Such questions must be given mature study and investigation, he declared. Mr. Criddle said the Cedar City Valley and the Escalante Valley in Iron county are the only places in Utah where ground water development has been really comprehensive and added that vast reservoirs exist beneath other areas of the state. The quantity of water available to the state and its disposition has changed very little in the past 110 years. If we could save 30 per cent of the evaporation from Utah Lake an additional 60.000 acre-feof water would be made available for various uses. Evaporation preventives can save that much.

The Board said it will grant the boost to help alleviate the industrys financial ills pending its formal decision on the airlines' plea for fare hikes ranging from 12j to 20 per cent. Hearings on the larger increases are now in progress. Some domestic airlines have urged the CAB to expedite the sessions, which began last November, to prevent some companies from suffering irreparable damage while the CAB is considering the issue.

Dr. Williams Illustrated his fascinating lecture with kodakromes on the geologic features of the area. He pointed out that It Is now certain that the valley began between twenty and thirty million years ago. Dividing his lecture into five periods or chapters, he first point- ed out how geologic faults produc-- 1 ed by earthquakes, along wlthi volcanic action, erosion, and cli- -: matic changes created a basin. Cache Valley has been a basin from the beginning, but our mountain ranges have fault escarpments, and one side of a fault may be 75 feet lower than the other side. The second chapter of the history was the filling in of the valley by "consequence streams such ss Logan River. which is almost as old as the valley itself. Volcanic action created great ashfalis which buried leaves and even fish and birds during the Pleiocene era of ten million years ago. Evidence of this can be found near Paradise where in an old buried pond were found fir, pussy willow, elm, dwarf su-- 1 macli, three species of clams, 17 species of snails, 3 feathers s. of a bird, and 12 kinds of Chapter III of the history was the Lake Bonneville eia, w hlch left two levels of its height, as a shoreline at 5135 and another at 4774 feet. Utah State University is on this lower shoreline of pro-- 1 historic lake Bonneville. The lake lasted possibly from 500,000 to 750,000 years, and filled the valley not only with fine sedi- ments and soils but sealed off the water below, under water pressure, with clay sediment, making possible the artesian wells of today.

From the Kloepfer gravel pit recently came camel teeth and a fine bison skull was found In Logan cemetery. Chapter IV was the period of the Great Drought, or the altathermal age.
