To ease the climb, the railroad in 1919 established a acres ot foundations and falling walls. Also the railroad towns of Colton and Tucker became unnecessary as locomotives became more the railroad decided to switch their division point to Helper. Most of the buildings and equipment were taken there. The town is now occupied by a gas station, two motels and division point at the summit to send helper engines down to Colton and Tucker (the rest area on the west side of the summit). in 1930 efficient.

Mary, who could bake pies and cakes that would melt in your mouth. Katherine, whose cooking of Italian foods especially raviolis would have you begging for more. Carinda, whose special personality made her indispensible in waiting on customers in the dance hall. The fourth daughter Rose, married LaSalle and I have vivid memories of the Eaquinta family as they went about their daily chores of operating the hotel. John Eaquinta, visiting and talking to customers, in his hands a copy of the Readers Digest, the Italian edition. Severia, his wife, was loved by everyone who knew her. He untimely death in 1942 left a void that was never filled. The Eaquinta sons; Joe, Carl, Frank and Louie, always made everyone welcome and they served some of the best food in Carbon County. Sam and Jimmy the other two John had Spatafore, four children, but still found time to work at their many restaurants. The last one being the Towne Cafe Price. in Of the ten Eaquinta children: Joe, Frank, Louis, Sam, Carl, Jimmy, Katherine, large numbers of Soviet military personnel and the huge amounts of equipment being poured into Aghanistan is sending new shock waves through the U.S. intelligence community and is causing a major reassessment of Soviet intentions and capabilities in the region. What was originally thought to be an expeditionary force of 40,000 to 50,000 is turning out to be a permanent invasion of 100,000 Soviet troops including elite combat units formerly stationed in East Germany. In addition to this extra large military manpower buildup, there has been a huge stockpiling of military equipment in Afghanistan and the Soviet Union at airfields near borders with Iran. Within the U.S. intelligence community, this omnious buildup is now being taken as a clear signal that the Kremlin plans to use Afghanistan as a base to work with Islamic and Communist groups in Iran for an eventual takeover of that countrys vital oil and gas fields. Despite its Islanic fervor, the revolutionary government in Iran has offered no assistance to the Moslem rebels fighting the invading Soviet forces despite their 400 mile border and long cultural ties. The Ayatollah Khomeini, considered by some intelligence officials as an imposter and Soviet agent, has refused to condemn the Russian invasion of Afghanistan or their killing of tens of thousands of Moslems. ever they came home it was like a e, D.C., The pro-Sovi- Mary, Carinda, and Rose, only Jimmy and the four daughters survive.

Spheres of Influence In private White House discussions, the president has taken the position that the U.S. can do little in Iran and that the country is now actually outside of the U.S. sphere of influence. The president believes the U.S. must concentrate on protecting Saudi Arabia and its vast supply of oil and the other small Arab nations in the Persian Gulf region. To implement this strategy, the Carter Administration is now seeking to establish a e series of bases in the Indian East region that could be used by U.S. forces to protect Saudi Arabia. Significantly, this strategy fits into the the President worked out understanding with the Soviet leadership at Vienna last June whereby Iran and its oil would pass into the Soviet sphere of influence while Saudi Arabia and its oil would remain under that of the U.S. While the brutal Soviet invasion of Afghanistan may have shocked the President into seeing the Russians in a new light, it appears not to have the oil deal he reached with the Soviet leadership at Vienna last June. For example, the President has rejected recommendations by the Joint Chiefs of Staff that he should be prepared to take military Ocean-Middl- action to secure Irans oil fields for the West. The recommendation was made during a recent White House meeting on what the U.S. could do to obtain release of the 50 U.S. Tehran. in hostages Drawing The Line The President so far has flatly refused to publicly draw a line in the Middle East as to when and where the U.S. would use its military might to defend the vital oil supplies in the region. Aides admit that if and when the President does draw a line that Iran will be outside of it since the U.S. already has cut itself off from this oil supply. In 1978, the U.S. imported nearly 1,000,000 barrels of oil a day from Iran. When asked about the Presidents positions, one government insider put it this way: How can the President draw a line now? He would have to show his hand on Iran and he isnt ready to do this. If the President said publicly that the U.S. has written off that oil, he would be in real trouble with our NATO allies and Japan since they are the big users. At the moment, the Soviets dont even have control that of Aimed country. at Nato Should Iran one of the worlds largest exporters of oil pass into the Soviet sphere of influence, the Russians then would be in a position to approach Europe and Japan with if the offer to facilitate their oil supplies only Western Europe would slip out of its relationship with the U.S. Given the balance of forces between the U.S. and the Soviet Union by the end of 1980, the Europeans would have to be heroes to refuse the Soviets offer. These are the hard cold facts emerging from events in the Middle East and the reason e why a public discussion of where and when does the Carter Administration plan to makes its stand against further Soviet aggression. full-scal- Drug usage rise continues The drug problem in are safe for public this country is not use. confined to the young, As a pharmacist by to societys miscasts, affluent or to swingers.

Colorado, The militant students and police of the Ayatollah have gone out of their way to protect the Soviet Embassy and its personnel from Afghan demonstrators. For reasons of their own, the hardline assessment of the intelligence community has not been accepted by President Carter and his foreign policy advisers who have the last word in what type of action the U.S. will take in the region. Their policy planning and decisions so far have been based on the questionable judgement that the Soviets will limit their current military operations to Afghanistan and that Moscow is not now engaged in a move to control the sea lanes and oilfields Administration.
