In some cases such lands have been accessible to the public only because a friendly farmer or rancher has allowed the public to use a private road, Senator Moss said. My bill would avoid these problems by providing a means for acquiring lawful access for the public. It is clear that without access, the public lands are not public, the Senator concluded. Two new electronic device1 which show promise as sola cells for converting llu sun: energy into usable electricity are being developed by Boll Telephone Laboratories. Jf they can be manufactured inexocns5-velthe devices could help h the nations fight to reduce dependency on fossil fuels. The most promising development is a layer of cadmium sulfide deposited cn a single crystal of indium phosphide. It has an efficiency to 12.5 percent, which is comparable to the efficiency of the older, but more expensive silicon solar cells. Twenty years ago, Bell Labs invented the solar battery, consisting of extremely pure man made crystals of silicon and with y y. land-holdin- gs 1-- 15 91.

According to Dick Lodmell. new Executive Director of the Utah Chapter, a special statewide effort is underway to give those with MS a larger role in activities. In the past the State Society has done things for its members now we want them to take a more active personal part in what happens, says Mr. Lodmell. We expect patients to tell us what they want. They should be involved in the actual planning and function of our program, adds Mrs. Gloria Gustin. Chairman of the State Society.

However, they are so expensive to make that the silicon solar battery is used only In applications where cos; is not a orimary factor, such as in satellites and space vehicles. In their present configuration, the new solar cells are limilod to single crystal size in the laboratory. If it proves possible to make large area solar cells, the devices should cost substantially les to manufacture than silicon cells, making them available to the general public. The new devices were created by Sigurd Wagner and Joseph J. Shay, at Bell Labs, as part of a program to investigate new materials and components for optica communications systems.
