The secretary also said that the powe companies still must submit an environmental impact statement on the new location, but he called a conference saying that he was keeping in touch with Governor Calvin Rampton and others in Utah and hoped to make a decision as rapidly as possible. When we get the impact statement we will take a second look at the project from a number of points of view. This apparently in reference from an earlier decision he had rejected for a plant site because of the visual impact on the nearby Glen National Recreation Canyon Area. The water supply available to the Colorado Basin and other resource environmental and questions will have to be answered. As to the existing plants pro ducing power the secretary said that older power plants were probably going to have to be allowed to put out more stack gas pollution than would be permitted under the Clean Air Act. Technology did not appear to be available for cleaning up older plants which have a useful life remaining of 0 years. Were going to have to allow some emissions of the same sort that these plants have historically created, although his department and the federal agencies are working on technology to equip older plants with cleanup devices. The secretary observed that it would be preferable to permit a certain amount of air pollution rather than shut down power plants and create brownouts or blackouts. The Secretary also told persons at the conference that his department is moving to do the engineering necessary to begin cleanup of the salinity pollution of the Colorado River under the Mexican Water Treaty. Legislation to clean up the river was passed by both houses of congress earlier this month. 25-3- Senatorial Candidate Holbrook Has Steps To Save Cattle Industry Utah Senate candidate Donald Holbrook today warned that total disaster confronts the cattle industry unless congress and the administration take immediate steps to save it. Holbrook said that on a recent tour of southern Utah he found the problems being experienced by Utah cattlemen were beyond belief. He said the government should take steps to save the industry, and the first thing it should do is make disaster loans available to farmers and ranchers to get them back on their feet. Next, he said. We must slop this constant importation of foreign beef that is undermining our local industry and causing bankruptcies to the point where well soon have nothing but corporate farmers and corporate groups in the cattle industry." Holbrook said he favors the concept of giving ranchers credit for their grazing rights on fed THE SALT LAKE TIMES FRIDAY, JUNE 28, 1974 Page Eight eral lands, when use of those lands is curtailed because of drought or other problems. He said ranchers ought to be able to use the credits to graze their cattle on the lands later on, when conditions have improved. He also suggested that the expertise available at Utah State University should be put to good use in improving federal range lands. He said that with the new grasses and technology USU is developing, the Federal government has an opportunity to expand and improve the nations cattle industry. Finally, Holbrook said, the most important thing the government can do is enforce the Antitrust Laws. Here we have farmers and ranchers going bank-run- t, we have the consumer paying high prices for beef, and in between, we have exhorbitant profits being made. Something is wrong with that, and weve got to do something about it. he said. Draft Environmental Statement Of Resource Lands Management A draft environmental impact statement concerning the National Resource Lands Management Act is now available for public review, according to Paul L.

The Lord gazes down upon mankind from heaven where he lives. He has made their hearts and closely watches everything they do. The army cannot save a king-f- or great strength is not enough to save anyone. A war horse is a poor risk for winning victories it is strong but it cannot save. But the eyes of the Lord are watching over those who fear him, who rely upon his steady love. He will keep them from death even in times of famine! We depend upon the Lord alone to save us. Only he can help us; he protects us like a shield. No wonder we are happy in the Lord! For we arc trusting him. We trust his holy name. Yes, Lord, let vour constant love surround us, for our hopes are in you alone. best-equipp- ed (Psalms Religious Heritage of America, Waslungion, D.C. 33:12-22- ) |
