Kendall, an advocate of increased trade between the Soviet Union and the United States, was the keynote speaker at the chambers 75th annual membership banquet at Hotel Utah. The president of the $2.7 billion international holding company told the 820 persons in attendance, including chamber members and their wives, that the United States must adopt a policy of toughness on the one hand and cooperation on the other in order to create it good atmosphere for continued peace. Must Net Forget Difference We must not forget the difference in ideologies between ourselves and the Soviets, he said. And we must not forget that given the opportunity the Soviets would destroy our system as we know it. But we also must look at the Soviets in realistic terms and assert the fact that our best course is to work toward the betterment of our mutual interests. He said the most dangerous threat to peace and the American way of life was during the cold war because there was no chance for the two sides to work out a system of cooperation. Detente Eased Threat Mr. Kendall, claiming that detente of the early 1970s brought a great easing of that threat and benefited, both countries, said the atmosphere in the Carter administration is a throwback to cold war days. Detente was badly misunderstood," It didnt ignore the cur system and the Soviets system, nor did it cause us to relax our defense against possible , attack. But it did allow us to better understand each other and work toward mutual goals. It was an enabling tool for both sides Mr. Kendall said. vast differences of trade and Industry and it helped the cause of peace. If necessary, we still would have moved swiftly and forceably against the Soviets, but detente insured that if we did go to war, it wouldn't be because of a misunderstanding. Allowed Greater Access Mr. Kendall said the trade agreement between toe United States and .the Soviet Union allowed a much greater access to toe Soviet market for American businessmen. The agreement provided that the United States could stop shipment of Soviet goods to American soil if it threatened the domestic market in the United States. well-bein- In return, the United States granted the Soviets favored nation status, and opened up International credit to the country. But Congress had to ratify the Mr Kendall said. And agreement, you know what happened from there.

( M r- - Savant, Critical Of Oil Crisis The energy crisis doesnt exist and a professor of economics Thursday told the Salt Lake Kiwanis club. Dr. Armen Albert Alchian, of the University of California, told the club that instead the situation has been caused by government price controls and political pressure. He noted that when the Arab oil embargo was declared in 1973, price controls were in effect that had been imposed by President Nixon. Later, when gas prices went up, toe shortage disappeared, he said. He said that in 1967 Arab nations refused to ship oil to the United States but this was not noticed because wage and price controls were not in effect then. After the embargo, he said, the price of crude oil went from $5 to $14 a barrel. The government, through allocations, determined who would receive crude oil, he said.

Meet Code, State Fire Chief Says The office of State Fire Marshal Grant Walker has made a fire code bust almost in his own backyard: toe office of Lt. Gov. David S. Monson, it was revealed Thursday. Partition walls for new offices, a remodeling job under way for toe past two weeks, have been ordered removed and restarted from scratch because partition panels contain foam cores the state fire code doesnt permit. Deputy Fire Marshal David Pingree, hearing the hammering and sawing from his office directly below, chanced to go upstairs to toe second floor and noticed that the partition panels have polyurethane foam cores. . Toxic Fumes Because when exposed to flame the material gives off toxic fumes, the state code bars it in state buildings. Similar panels are in use in scores of State Capitol and State Office Building rooms, but these older materials contain honeycomb cardboard cores that wont emit hazardous fumes when burned. Richard Tholen. State Building Board, said the materials supplier must not have told the contractor (Building Systems, Inc.) he was changing the cores." Cores Different And workmen, though noting the cores were different, must have assumed the state knew what it was doing in ordering that kind of panel material. Once used widely as an insulating material, polyurethane foam came into disrepute after several major fires produced deaths not by fire but by inhalation of the fumes from the burning foam. Salt Lake City allows the material to be used, Mr. Tholen said. |
