Show FRIDAY, MAY 8, 1970 Page Twelve Army Agrees to Study Request To Hold Up Center Transfer Speakers Announced For Education Meet Charted for Sept. Two major speakers for the Tuesday to nected with the consolidation of 1970 Utah Conference on High- The Army agreed take under advisement a request by Rep. Sherman P. Lloyd of Utah to hold up the proposed relocation of Deseret Test Center headquarters from Fort Douglas to Dugway Proving . Ground as pending an overall Defense Department study on Dugways future responsibilities in the chemical warfare and biological research program. The relocation involves nearly 200 civilian employees now stationed at Fort Douglas. The 2nd District Congressman said following a meeting with Army spokesmen in his office that the Army also agreed to consider delaying final actions on the proposed reduction of 30 military and 91 civilian jobs at Dugway and DTC. Rep. Lloyd said the study now underway will hopefully be completed by July. It will address questions on future plans for the Armys existing chemical warfare and biological defense research facilities in light of major policy changes in the CBW program announced by the President last November. Another major issue is whether the Army wants to continue to maintain any operations at Fort Douglas. He stressed that there was nothing to indicate that Dugway would be closed down. Rep. Lloyd said Deseret Test Center employees had objected to moving the DTC headquarters to Dugway because it would require them to either relocate nearer the proving ground or commute 160 miles a day round trip from Salt Lake to Dugway. In view of the many unanswered questions regarding this move, I have requested the army not to take any action on the proposed relocation or the employment reduction, and I am pleased to report that they have agreed to consider my request to hold these decisions in abeyance until the study is complete and its results are announced by the Secretary of Defense, he said. The Army acknowledgeh that there are several problems con Dugway and Deseret Test Center, among them the inadequate housing facilities, inadequate schools on the base and the distance to major commercial services, he said. He said although the Army announced on March 4 that it would complete the relocation of DTC headquarters to Dugway by July, officials advised him that the studies on the relocation were made before the President major policy announcement and that the justification for a move may have to be The Presidents announcement in November said that the U. S. would confine the biological research to defense purposes only and would eliminate the offensive biological weapons research program. ed.

Dr. G. Homer Durham, Utah Commissioner of Higher Education, and Max Lerner, nationally snydicated columnist, will speak at conference sessions September 1 on the SUSC campus in Cedar City. Theme of the conference will be Issues in Higher Education. We think we have two speakers who will fit in extremely well with our theme, Dr. Morrell said. Dr. Durham is just completing his first year as head of Utahs first coordinated system of higher education, and Dr. Lerner is a recognized authority on many facets of education, according to Dr. Morrell. Prior to becoming Utahs first commissioner for higher education, Dr. Durham was president of Arizona State University where he worked in close collaboration with a single governing board. He has been instrumental in creating the Utah Coordinating Council for Higher Education and has been a consultant to Nevada and Mountana Legislatures. Dr. Lerner was educated at Yale, Washington University and Robert Brookings Graduate School of Economics and Government. He has taught at several major universities, wrote and edited several books, and was a Ford Foundation professor and study grantee. He is currently a professor of American Civilization at Brandeis University. Dr. Morrell also announced the 1970 Resolutions Committee. Dayna L. Stokes, Brigham Young University, will serve as chairman. UCHE members who would like to have the conference consider a specific matter should contact one of the members of this committee, Dr. Morrell 10-1- THE SALT LAKE TIMES Grade Crossing Wrecks Claim Sen. Moss Seeks Local Residents Most grade crossing accidents involve local drivers who are familiar with the crossings, and many of the accidents occur at crossings where some form of protection is provided, according to the Utah Safety Council. Leo Barlow, Utah Safety Councils Vice President for Traffic safid today, Ther,te is growing concern over the increasing number of accidents at grade crossings. Most drivers involved in fatal crossing accidents live within 25 miles of the scene, Barlow said. Habit is an important factor in crossing accidents. A motorist- crosses railroad tracks a hundred times and no train is in sight. He is conditioned to a secure feeling that the train wont be there the next time and he relaxes his vigi-lenc- e. Construction Start for Dixie Senator Frank E. Moss of Utah has announced he will ask that $400,000 be written into the appropriation bill to make the Dixie Reclamation Project a construction start in the fiscal year 1971. Moss is scheduled to testify before the Public Works Subcommittee of the Senate Appropriations Committee on May 15. The Dixie Project was first authorized for construction in 1964. However, further studies revealed the probability of excessive reservoir leakage at the site originally selected. A new location was found 15 miles downstream in the Virgin River Basin. The project was then reauthorized in 1968. This change required considerable modification of project facilities, inclding the elimination of power development as a project feature. The present Nixon budget request includes $100,000 for Dixie to complete the definite plan report. Once this is done and money is made availabile, actual work can begin. It now appears that we are ready to go ahead with the first phase of construction. The people of southwestern Utah have waited patiently for this development. I sincerely hope that Congress will now see fit to fund the initial construction of this most important water project. That section of our State is in dire need of adequate irrigation facilities and until Dixie Project becomes a reality, the southern Utah citizens will continue to suffer. Barlow said the best safeguard for motorists is to slow down when they see the round advance railroad warning sign. As you approach a crossing be sure your vehicle is under control, he said. Slow down to a speed that will allow you to stop safely if you have to. If a gate is down or a signal is operating, heed the warning. Stop and stay stopped until the train passes and the warning signals stop operating. Then before you start up, make sure no train is following on the same trek or coming from the opposite direction on another track, where it has been hidden from your view by the train just passed. The safety official called attention to one fatal trap some drivers fall into when they travel the same route over and over Barlow says the best formula again. These drivers learn the train to keep you out o ftrouble at crossings is this: slow schedule and they know when railroad so down you can stop safely if one is due, he said. Its around check both that time of day that they are necessary; carefully be directions; expecting a train cautious. But if they approach at time from any any direction the crossing in between times of any track. scheduled, they sometimes tend to relax and assume theres no danger.
