Show I Page Eight FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 25, 1966 Sen. Moss Addresses Utah Farmers Union Contract Awarded By Kennecott For Magna Plant Sen. Frank E. Moss (D-Uta- h) said Saturday that a three-poinational concensus seems to be emerging which foretells the shape of Americas future role in the Vietnamese crisis. Sen. Moss addressed the annual convention of the Utah Farmers Union at the Hotel in Salt Lake City. First, we will pursue our military effort at about its present level the war will NOT be greatly escalated at this time, Sen. Moss said. Second: we will insist that certain economic and social reforms be pressed in Vietnam if we stay. The changes must be p made on a and mutual cooperation basis. Special emphasis must be placed on land tenure laws and customs; We will step up our foreign aid program, giving more money for sanitation, health, housing and food and more technical assistance in adjusting to the reforms nt New-hou- se ... self-hel- which are made. information and facts which I did not have. I have confidence that in each instance the President has acted out of love for his country and in a way which he felt was in the best interest of the country. Sen. Moss continued: When the President makes a decision . . . after he has agonized over it and searched his conscience and considered it from every aspect . . . the President deserves the support of the country. We should not be divided in time of peril. Open and spirited discussion and the right to disagree are our heritage and our strength. This discussion precedes the decision of the one chosen to decide. There should and must be continuing discussion of the new issues as they present themselves in the total schemes which are behind us. We should look ahead in finding solutions to new and difficult problems yet to be decided. Sen. Moss also told the Utah Third: We will continue, Farmers Union delegates that without pause, and with even The agricultural revolution has greater force, our efforts to bring brought farm incomes up both the conflict to the conference for the Nation and for the aver table. age farmer.

Parsons Company of Los Angeles has been awarded a $6 million contract for engineering design and construction of a new acid recovery plant at Kennecotts Utah Copper Division smelter, west of Magna. J. L. England, smelter plant engineer, was named project engineer for the new facility, which will produce 500 tons of sulfuric acid daily. Construction will begin in about three months, and should be completed by January 1, 1967. The plant will be the divisions sixth such unit. sulfur dioxide Converting from the smelting processes into sulfuric acid is part of the divisions continuing program to utilize all available values in the Bingham copper ore to produce salable Increasing amounts of ore now being mined will result in availability of more sulfur for recovery. Current modernization of the smelter, combined with improved processes, will mean that a larger proportion of the sulfur dioxide in the smelting processes now will be recoverable. This in turn will Contribute substantially to the divisions longstanding efforts to minimize emissions from the smelter plant. Mr. England was employed as an engineer trainee by American Smelting and Refining Company at the Garfield Smelter in 1950, following his graduation from the University of Utah with a Bachelor of Science degree in civil engineering. He became an employee of the Utah Copper Division when the smelter was purchased by Kennecott in 1959. He and his afmily live at 2851 Nora Drive in Salt Lake City. 4) Rep. David S. King Friday asked for a Congressional stocktaking on federal motor pools. In my stops at federal installations both at home and abroad, I get the general impression that the civilian motor pools are, in most cases, excessively large, said Congressman King. He said he has asked the Government Activities Subcommittee on which he serves to request a full accounting from General Services Administration and other agencies on motor pool operations. The motor pool in Salt Lake City fills most of the new Federal Buildings basement and two adjoining parking lots. Traffic from this motor pool rarely seems to put more than a small fraction of the cars into use. From my stops elsewhere, I have the impression that this situation is typical of the motor pools throughout federal service. In both investment and maintenance, the tens of thousands of cars in federal service represent a tremendous annual expense, said Congressman King. The big jump in the costs of stopping a communism takeover in Southeast Asia demand that we trim every ounce of fat we can from domestic programs. Civilian agencies should be willing to operate with fewer cars to help the war effort, he said. Congressman King suggested that Subcommittee Chairman Jack B. Brooks ask federal agencies for data that would show: 1. Number, locations and car counts for civilian motor pools throughout the states. 2. Frequency of operation of individual autos in each pool. 3.
