"They do not need killer satellites to protect space over the Soviet Union. Backfire bombers are not a defensive weapon, nor are packs of killer submarines, and fleets of destroyers." Peace is never a ''(iefi; i easily attained goal," Rhodes a id.

"Freedom, to be kept, must constantly be tions of SALT I treaties, Rhodes said "The Soviets have established clandestine facilities heavily camouflaged. Equipment moves at night. Missiles of questionable legality under the treaties are being advanced as rapidly as possible. This lack of good faith is shocking to our American sense of decency, but it is the foundation of Communist strategy." One of the Russian demands at the SALT II talks Is that the U. S.

cruise missile be limited to 650 miles, Rhodes said, which would1 give our obsolete B-52 bombers little chance of getting close enough to the Soviet Union to launch the cruise missiles to targets. "Yet, we have scrapped the B-l bomber. How silly can' we get?" Without the B-l as the missile launch plane, the full potential of cruise cannot be realized, Rhodes said. 1 Republic Bureau WASHINGTON -Russia is assembling a vast arsenal of attack weap-ons while the United States is scrapping some of its military programs and slowing development of others, Rep. John J.

Rhodes, said Tuesday night Moscow's program of unprecedented growth plus the Soviets' violations of the SALT I agreement are creating a world atmosphere in which the United States dare not make unilateral disarmament moves, Rhodes said. Rhodes spoke at the annual congressional dinner of the Veterans of Foriegn Wars. The VFW presented him with its annual congresssionai award. He said the nation is "sadly disillusioned concerning detente. There was a time of high hope that perhaps the Soviet Union really desired a lasting world peace, and that understanding between their government and ours was gaining ground." But this country has been rudely awakened by recent world events.

"If Cuba commits aggression in Africa, who believes she could resist the temptation of seizing, or destroying, an undefended Panama Canal?" Rhodes asked. The United States should make it clear to the Russians that "we do not intend to play games with them." If the Soviets want peace and eventual disarmament, which we also want, then the United States should negotiate until those objec-t i are reached, Rhodes said. "If they intend for us to put our heads in the sand and continue to negotiate while they and their Cuban proxies commit aggression in Africa and elsewhere we will have none of it," he said. Concerning Soviet viola Williams schools -li: faulted on records RwuMIc (holt So, Moray was caught in a dilemma. According to Moray, he got the following advice from the WPA agent: "I have tested and tested until I am fully satisfied and feel there are no more tests left to make.

As long as I have the device I will want to run tests, so I wish you would destroy the damn thing so I cannot ask for more tests." However, Moray said he and the WPA agent decided to make just one more test, which the agent said "should be all anyone In the government could ever ask for." When the test was completed, Moray said the WPA agent "grabbed a hammer and smashed the R. E. device before I could stop him." "Now, I cannot ask for any more tests," the agent told Moray. But, the saga does not there. The WPA agent remained in Salt Lake City, Moray claimed, and came around the laboratory often trying to convince Moray that his one chance of rebuilding the device would be if he went to Russia and worked for the communist government One chilly evening, Moray strolled to his laboratory after dinner to pick up some notes.

He was wearing an overcoat and carrying a pistol. In the dark corridor outside the laboratory office, Moray claimed he was attacked by an assailant who swung a blunt object at him and struck him in the shoulder. Moray said he scuffled with the assailant, who pulled a gun that fired while they were fighting. The shot grazed Moray's leg. In the confusion, the assailant was able to scramble out the door with Moray in pursuit his pistol drawn.

Outside, Moray claimed he saw three other men in the field next to the laboratory. One, Moray maintained, was the WPA agent Moray said he opened fire and was able to wound two of the four men before they were able to get away. The police never picked up any suspects. The WPA agent left town shortly afterward, Moray said. In 1941, Moray resigned as a consulted to the REA.

The research money REA had promised never materialized, he said. Moray did buDd another device in the 1940s, but due to Insufficient money la said it had to be made of inferior material. The device malfunctioned and burned. In 1974 when The Republic visited with Moray, he still was trying to get the money to build another device. He died shortly forward.

John Moray now operates the research laboratory, Cosray Research Institute. "We have a couple of contracts to keep the business going," he said recently. John Moray also is getting ready to publish a new edition of his father's book, "The Sea of Energy in Which the Earth Floats," which first was printed in 1931. Richard Moray, another Moray son, is involved in a real estate venture in British Columbia John Moray said he and his brother still hope to raise the money to build another device. "It will be more difficult since Dad died," John said.

"But, we still have his notes. We have found that some of the notes have deteriorated with age, though." Thursday: A postscript. Continued from Page Why Halleck singled out "radiant energy." la not clear, but the Associated Press reported his remarks. Halleck said REA was trying to "perfect a system of syphoning radiant energy from (he air" and had hired Moray at $25 a day. About the device, Halleck quoted from the testimony of an REA engineer, who said: is unfathomable.

In some Inexplicable way he has, I believe, stumbled onto something that he himself cannot understand, but which, if it is all he thinks it is, will more profoundly affect the human race than any discovery in previous history. Halleck said the mystery man, whom he identified as an agent for the Works Projects Administration, "spent two years assisting, begging, cajoling and' threatening Moray to develop his radi-ont energy." The mystery man reportedly died several years ago, so it was decided that he would remain anonymous in this account For purposes of identification, he will be referred to as the WPA agent At first work with the REA personnel went well. Because of the fee he was receiving and assurances that more federal money would be available for research, Moray had obtained a loan and built a laboratory facility near his Salt Lake City. home. Robert Craig, deputy REA administrator at the time, quite impressed with Moray and the "radiant energy" device.

Until his death in 1972, Craig supported Moray in efforts to interest other federal agencies in the device. things started turning sour. I Moray was advised by a patent attorney that further public demonstrations of the device could jeopardize his rights to patent the device. Moray had been trying since 1934 to patent his invention, but the U.S. Patent Office refused to grant one.

"No natural source of electric-wave energy is known to the Examiner and proof of the existence of such a source is required," reads the rejection statement Boy idles, 6 hurt as car hits van A seven-year-old boy was killed and six other persons were hurt in a two-vehicle accident on Tuesday. Michael Price, son of Deborah Price, 29, of 1630 W. Elm, died Tuesday afternoon at Good Samaritan Hospital. Phoenix Patrolman Earl Parks said police were told a Cadillac was traveling west on Indian School at about 75 mph with a flat tire. At 20th Street, Parks said, the car apparently failed to stop for a red light and slammed into the side of a northbound van driven by Frank E.

A separate report by Auditor General Douglas Norton on the Palominas Elementary School District at Hereford said: Spending from the district's special-projects fund, consisting of $19,623 in federal grants, exceeded the district budget last fiscal year. Law requires a school to petition its county supervisors whenever it expects expenses to exceed its budget The district also retained unspent funds from a 1975 career-education grant which should be returned to the state. Regarding the Williams district, Norton's office said the district lacked a record of year-to-date expenditures from its building bond fund. Nor did it retain documentation of federal, state and county gran's received, the audit report added. will be in service is unknown, he added.

"It depends on the animal and how well they're taken care of," Kotsur said. "Chandler has had some dogs for around three or four years. We hope to got our money's worth, training-wise." The dogs were purchased and are being trained with a grant of about $10,000 from the Arizona Law Enforce-ment Officers Advisory Council, a statewide professional organization.
