(The Navys recent decision to rent k Clearfield warehouse to Sperry Rand for assemblying the Sergeant ge fense activities of Northern Utah) The crux of the disagreement between . the Administration and its critics oii 6iir defense position is that the Administration believes that even though the Russians are ahead of us in ICBM production we have a balanced retaliatory striking capacity so powerful as to prevent them from beginning a war. U. S. retaliatory power will soon include 2M ICBMs, three Polaris submarines and a ring of bases surrounding the Soviet Union, some witlTlCBMs, and the worlds best strategic bombing force which constantly has planes in the air ready to retaliate. v .Discussions bn whether to economize or not to economize are working their way into almost ev-. ' 'S of Utah With educational problems taking both the national and Utah spotlight, the selection of Gov. Cecil H. Underwood of West Virginia as Lincoln Day. banquet speaker for the Beehive State was especially timely, Utah Republican leaders pointed out. Gov.

He is a distinguished edu cator as well as one of the youngest chief executives in any of the CO ; . ery committee hearing and House debate, even if the subject as for removed, from budgetary consideration as labor reform legislation or ' Hawaiian statehood. Right now the battle of the budget is being fought on the Senate floor where the omnibus housing bill ..supported by the Democrats is being debated. If this legislation is passed in its present form, the cost to the taxpayers would be nearly $3 billion over the next six years. This Administration, which is the strongly opposing bill, had called for $1,660 billion spread over six years. The Minuteman will be smaller and lighter than the present liquid-fuele- d missiles, and it' will have zero reaction time, whereas the Atlas and Titan take at least 15 . -- minutes to be fired. Also, the Minuteman launching sites.-wil- l be can. and even be made simpler mobile which decreases the chance of their being- destroyed' by an enemy attack. .
