be nsed also by the US Navy WASHINGTON (UPI) -Hi- ghlights of President Nixon’s State of the Union message to Congress: Revenue Sharing— He proposed a ?16 billion “revenue sharing” program to pump federal money into states aid cities This would include 38 billion in new funds and 310 billion from conversion of More Oxygen Power In 14 CPE KENNEDY (UPI)-T- he Apollo 14 command ship carries more oxygen power and water than pari Apollos to get its crewmen back to earth in almost every conceivable type of emergency The Apollo 13 astronauts had to rely on the oxygen and power in their lunar landing craft to sustain them for the trip back hone after a command ship oxygen tank exploded If the accident had occurred after they had abandoned the lunar module at the moon they would have been doomed Third Tank To eliminate such a possibility in the future engineers installed a third oxygen tank in d Sterilization Law Explained SALT LAKE CITY (UPI)— Utah law making it a criminal offense to undergo sterilization is directed only to patients or inmates of state institutions Making the interpretation was Third District Judge Stewart M Hanson who ruled in a case filed by three Salt Lake City area residents Susan H Parker Dana Sch-ac- k and J Rand HirsM filed the case Sept IS against Gov Calvin L Hampton in contest of the Utah Code on sterilization The code reads in part: “Except as authorized by this chapter every person who performs encourages assists in or otherwise promotes the performance of any of the opcn-tionsJthe purpose of destroying the power to procreate the human species Js guilty of a felony" Judge Hanson decreed that the act relates "entirely to in- existing programs in which federal aid is earmarked for specific purposes Some of the 14's command ship isolated it from the other two tanks added an extra battery and put aboard five more gallons of water Inadequate oxygen tank heater switches that led to the Apollo 13 explosion have been eliminated tank wiring has been encased In metal conduits and fans have been removed from the tanks to make them virtually fireproof “I would say that as a result Apollo 14 has a safer Apollo billion—would be “unrestricted” The remainder would be allocated among six broad purposes— urban development Education rural development Job training transportation and iaw enforcement— with states and localities making their own local decisions on exactly how it should be spent Local Control— Revenue sharing is a practical way to disperse power now centralized in Washington among the closest to the governments people and most responsive to their control curbing inflation “we have paid a price in increased uiemploy-ment- " So hell propose a redink federal budget with spending exceeding prospective revenues in order to “help stimulate the economy and thereby open up new Job opportinities for millions” Overall View of the State of the Union— “We have gone through a long dark night of the American spirit But now that night is ending the easier explanation is pollution Last year a federal study indicated that 29 million of 282 million people in scattered test areas were drinking faucet water which was safe but stinky Almost daily a news report tells of some new and more stomachretching reservoir contamination A housewife in Los Angeles for instance says she recently turned on her tap and got a small piece of beer bottle glass covered with a gob of petroleum oil The situation in California has reached unactually precedented levels And fittingly bottled water first made its mark in America there Following the devas-tatin- g earthquake-fir- e of San Francisco area residents could not use regular water because of the fear of impurities Today a quite similar problem prevails over much of the southern California area because the normal water drains from too great a distance to remain clean Radio announcements often announce the necessity to boil water in many areas As a result one of six state citizens drink bottled stufl and some fill bathtubs and even swim pools with it The lengths some people go to soak up bottled water these days may seem excessive And probably are Yet there is considerable evidence that all things being equal the better one s water the better one’s health Europeans who drink mineral water (Vichy Evian Fiuggi) 1906 at a rate to put Americans to shame (23 billion bottles in 1969) got the idea from Michelangelo who some historians believe relieved himself of a kidney stone with pure spring juice One company in the United States Mountain Valley of Hot Springs Ark has an ancient OK from the Food and Drug Administration to advertise as a therapeutic benefit because no one has been able to disprove the medical belief that mineral water because of its solvency properties cleanses the body like a brush Good water says Mountain Valley’s president John Scott “was the world's first medicine And depending on which kind you drink it still can be a health aid Some of the sparkling variety for example acts like a seltzer You'd be surprised at how many old people drink it just to get a good burp" But today's rejuvenated water distributors such as Scott refuse to dwell on the medicinal possibilities of their product That's old hat Besides the buyer today is largely after something else: purity or palatability And you can be sure the water industry is responding ' Few of the companies fail to mention the pollution crisis in their advertisini An pitch or brochures some New York area concerns have gone off what

conference Mission Director Chester M Lee said the extra oxygen and battery would enable Roosa Alan B Shepard and Edgar D Mitchell to get back home without their lunar module in almost the worst possible case --an Apollo 13 type failure alien the command ship is being flown solo behind the moon in lunar orbit Of course danger and stupidity exist in such scare tactics And most bottling executives like John Scott are quick to condemn the “The industry practice: doesn't have to exist on people's fears Actually I know of no tap water in the nation which is really unsafe to use And that's a good Indeed it is Americans use billion gallons of tap water a day bottle companies produce only 500000 gallons in the same period “We could never provide it all” says one supplier In other words despite growth in the wonderful water industry next to Mother Nature it’s still just a little drip 400 thing" (Ntwipaptr Government Reorganization— proposed a “sweeping reorganization" of the federal government's executive branch reducing the present 12 Cabinet departments to eight Health Care— He will send Congress later “a far reaching set of proposals for improving America's health care” Included will be "a program to insure that no American family will be prevented from obtaining baric medical care by inability to pay” and a major increase in federal aid to medical schools to

Retun Lee said a return from such an accident would be “very austere" but the three crewmen would get back safely There are Mill two types of for however emergencies which there would be no way out—
