Show 2 — The Logan Utah Tuesday May 5 Herald Journal 1981 test of Kimball’s Complete - SALT LAKE CITY (UPI) The complete text of the statement on the MX missile system issued Tuesday by the First Presidency of the Mormon Church: hidden some missiles each armed with 10 warheads Each one of these 10 nuclear warheads will have have far greater destructive potential than did the bombs dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki “We understand that this concept is based on the provisions of a treaty which has never been ratified and that absent such a treaty the proposed installation could be expanded indefinitely Its planners state that the system is strictly defensive in concept and that the chances are extremely remote that it will ever be actually employed However history indicates that men have seldom created armaments that eventually were not put to use “We are most gravely concerned over the proposed concentration in a relatively restricted area of the West Our feelings would be the same about concentration in any part of the nation just as we assume those in any other area so selected would have similar feelings With such concentration one segment of the population would bear a share of the burden inlives lost and property destroyed in case of an attack particularly if such were to be a saturation attack “Such concentration we are informed may even "We have received many inquiries concerning our feelings on the proposed basing of the MX missile system in Utah and Nevada After assessing in great detail information recently available and after the most careful and prayerful consideration we make the following statement aware of the response our words are likely to evoke from both proponents and opponents of the system "First by way of general observation we repeat our warnings against the terrifying arms race in which the nations of the earth are presently engaged We deplore in particular the building of vast arsenals of nuclear weaponry We are advised that there is already enough such weaponry to destroy in large measure our civilization with consequent suffering and misery of incalculable extent "Secondly with reference to the presently proposed MX basing in Utah and Nevada we are told that if this goes forward as planned it will involve the conroads struction of thousands of miles of heavy-dut- y with building of some 4600 shelters in which will be £ Syria today rejected Israeli objections to Soviet-mad- e missiles in Lebanon and Western diplomats said Syria appeared ready to risk “a limited conflict” Israel agreed to receive a US Middle East trouble shooter but Prime Minister Minister Menachem Begin said "only a miracle” would enable diplomacy to resolve the crisis "Syria is determined to confront the Israeli attacks on the Lebanese the Palestinians and the Syrians with all its potentials and the tools of fighting be those SAM-S- s or whatever" Syria’s Ba'ath A1 government-ru- n newspaper said i Damascus Western diplomats in Damascus said US Ambassador Tolcott Seeley saw Syrian Foreign Ministry officials on the missile conflict but "there has been not much progress and Syria President Hafez Assad is taking a hard line” ambassador "We consider those missiles a threat to everything in the world we hold dear to us” Begin said Monday “It is a threat to Israel It is a threat to freedom It is a threat to the (Lebanese) Christians” But in Washington the administration said it was engaged in intense diplomatic efforts to defuse the situation and President Reagan sent a message to Begin urg- The diplomats said “the situation is still tense and the Syrians seem willing to risk a limited conflict with Israel over the missile issue” In Jerusalem Begin agreed today to a request by Reagan to receive special Middle East troubleshooter Philip Habib in an attempt to avert war Begin said Habib was expected this week and was “probably going to talk with everybody” indicating the Syrians has agreed to the peace mission But an Israel radio reporter quoted Begin as saying "only a miracle” would enable diplomatic efforts to succeed in resolving the crisis The prime minister said Israel would not consider any “compromise" involving restrictions on Israeli reconnaissance flights over Lebanon “We must fly over it to take photographs because of ing restraint “We regard the situation as serious but many governments including our own are talking to all parties" acting White House press secretary Larry Speakes said “We’re hopeful it will return to more normal status” State Department spokesman David Passage said the United States did not have any deadline despite Begin's reported demand the missiles be removed from Lebanon’s Bekaa Valley northeast of Beirut POLICE BLOTTER Idaho State Police

predictably plunged Monday opened trading today with the Dow Jones industrial average slipping another 55 points Oue congressman termed the developments the continuation of a interest “nightmarish roller-coaster rate ride" Faced with signs the economy is overheating the Federal Reserve Board jacked up its discount rate — what it charges banks to borrow money — from 13 percent to 14 percent Beryl Sprinkel Treasury undersecretary for monetary affairs today expressed pleasure at the action “We’re pleased to see that the Federal Reserve means business con trolling the money supply” said Sprinkel one of the administration’s sharpest critics of the Fed “If it leads to short-ru- n problems it’s well worth the price we are paying” he said Major banks anticipating the discount move hiked their prime lending rates — what they charge top corporate customers — a full percentage point to 19 percent The increase came less than a week boost to 18 percent after a There also was a sharp surge in half-poi- nt money market rates reflected by a nearly jump in interest rates earned by Treasury bill purchasers Taken together the rate hikes constituted the “dropping of the other shoe” that banks and stock markets feared was on the way because of last Friday’s report of an explosive and inflationary 84-- trillion growth in a broad measure of the money supply Higher interest rates elsewhere tend to drive banks to the Fed for money to lend By raising its discount rate the Fed decided not to let this happen Instead it took the advice of the Reagan administration to tighten credit and slow money supply growth regardless short-ter- m 2 SENTENCED inn J Gittins The Cache Group Sierra Club will meet Wendesday at 7:30 pm in room 317 of the Business building at USU Ed Loth direc- tor of

derail inflation and stunt the growth of the nation's money supply saying that even if the move hurts “It’s well worth tiie price” The Fed raised its discount rate Monday as major banks boosted their prime rate again — a pair of actions likely to prolong high interest rates for consumers "Our fathers came to this western area to establish a base from which to carry the gospel of peace to the peoples of the earth It is ironic and a denial of the very essence of that gospel that in this same general area there should be constructed a mammoth weapons system potentially capable of destroying much of civilization "With the most serious concern over the pressing moral question of possible nuclear conflict we plead with our national leaders to marshal the genius of the nation and to find viable alternatives which will secure at an earlier date and with fewer hazards the protection from possible enemy aggression which is our common concern News of record Syrian occupation forces in Lebanon and (because) of the terrorist organizations If we did not fly we would not know what they are planning against us" An aide to the prime minister said Begin sent a response "through regular channels” to a letter from Reagan Monday that asked Israel to give US diplomatic efforts more time to resolve the crisis peacefully Begin said Monday that Syrian had reinforced its missiles positions

that with so many billions of dollars at stake we will hear much talk designed to minimize the problems that might be expected and to maximize the economic benefits that might accrue The reasons for such portrayals will be first-strik- highly-disproportion- AZiade “Published studies indicate that the fragile ecology of the area would likewise be adversely e first-strik- Syria ready for ‘limited’

forebearers first came to these western valleys "Furthermore we are told that in the event of a e attack deadly fallout would be carried by prevailing winds across much of the nation maiming and destroying wherever its pervasive cloud touched “Inevitably so large a construction project would have an adverse impact on water resoures as well as sociological and ecological factors in the area Water has always been woefully short in this part of the West We might expect that in meeting this additional demand for water there could be serious longterm consequences "We are not adverse to consistent and stable population growth but the influx of tens of thousands of temporary workers and their families together with those involved in support services could create grave sociological problems particularly when coupled with an influx incident to the anticipated emphasis on energy development 200 J&- 600 WEST LOGAN UTAH 753-58- 05 2295 |
