In Viet jVfittt Formal Declaration Of War Would Raise Many Problems EDITOR'S NOTE The United States has sent a major military force to South Viet Nam, and Army, Navy, Marine and Air Force units participating actively in the fighting. U.S. servicemen are being killed and wounded, but there has been no declaration of war. Why? Some of the pros and cons of such action, and some results of a formal declaration, are discussed in this analysis. By LEWIS GUL1CK WASHINGTON (AP) A formal declaration of war by the United States in the current Viet Nam conflict would raise so many difficulties that it apparently has been ruled out by U.S.

policymakers. This does not reflect any Washington disbelief in the reality of the bullets puncturing the peace of Southeast Asia. President Johnson has used the Word "war" and has pledged an unlimited American commitment to prevent the Reds from taking over South Viet Nam. However a formal was declaration a power given Congress under the Constitution would pose major complications for U. S.

State Prison Farm Saves Taxpayers An Estimated $180,000 Per Year Avowedly, the U. S.

aim is to help the Saigon government an aggression from the north. It is not to overthrow the Hanoi regime ruling North Viet Nam, or to get into war with Red China or the Soviet Union. Furthermore, the Communist attacks in South Viet Nam vary from organized military assaults to isolated terrorist crimes. If Congress were to declare war, a first question naturally would be: Against whom would war be declared? The Viet Cong? The United States does not recognize the claims of these Communist guerrillas to being a government, and much of what they do like murder and arson can be classed as acts subject to criminal prosecution. By RALPH DOHME STAFF WRITER Penitentiary to most people means a cell where a prisoner is placed and just about forgotten, but that is not so in Newj Mexico.

There are many projects go-! ing on at the State Penitentiary! all the time, but the biggest and most productive is the penitentiary honor farm at Los Lunas. There, about 130 prison inmates are kept busy growing food crops used in the feeding of the state's biggest correction- ial institution. In addition to the paying their debt to saving the taxpayers $180,000 a year doing so are helping Mexico State of the most year. In addition, the prison grows and processes its own beef and pork products, chickens, eggs and milk. According to Warden Harold Cox, the prison farm can grow anything that can conceivably be grown in this part of the country.

As a matter of fact, it has been told to the warden that Irish potatoes could not be grown here and in an effort to prove a point, there are two acres under observation at this time with Irish potato roots in the ground. It is rather early to say whether the crop will be successful, but if it is proven that does not want to getting into a fight with the big Communist powers, which a pf Submarines declaration of war against OUJJiimi.

Those regulations, issued two years ago In preparation for the disposal of AEC- owned housing, are still applicable and will be the priorities to be followed in those housing sales. In drawing up the regulations, the AEC considered four principle factors considered essential to the community: the retention and recruitment of personnel essential to the atomic energy program; the minimization of dislocations within the community; the expeditious accomplishment of the disposal program; and, the desirability of encouraging private firms to locate or remain in the community. The rights of priority for purchase of the properties on which appraisals have been completed are the following: For single-family the occupant; 2. any resident of the property; 3. any project connected person; 4.

any widow or widower or any retired former resident; 5. any Inhabitant, defined as a person who owned real property in the project area on May 10, 1943. For duplex the senior occupant; 2. the junior occupant; 3. a Junior occupant of any duplex house who has been prevented from exercising hla see- on priority by reason of the exerciae of the first priority by the senior occupant; 4.

any resident of the property; 5. any project connected person; 6. any widow or widower or any retired former resident; 7. any inhabitant, as defined above. Although the priority regulations were drawn for the purpose of providing an orderly and equitable succession of possible buyers, if previous AEC experience is duplicated at Los Alamos, virtually all of the sales are expected to be made to the occupants or the second priority buyer.

That was the case at similar AEC dispositions at Oak Ridge, Term, and Rich- larid, Wash. The appraisals were only posted Monday on the one and two family dwellings, but initial response to the appraisals has been favorable with most opinions being that the figures proposed are quite equitable. This view of the appraisal prices is expected to further promote the bulk of the purchases, when, sale time arrives, by first priority occupants. The appraised prices, without available discounts, for single family dwellings, range from $15,600 to $7,200. For duplexes the prices range from $19,300 to $12,250.

Single unit appraisal prices for split duplexes in the HHFA report range from $9,700 to $5,600. It appears now that the posting of appraisal prices on multiple-family and apartment houses is still some months away, as is also the case with the posting of availability of vacant lots for residential use and tracts that will be made available for subdivision residential development. The "sale" of a city of 14,000 population, or most of it, is a complicated time- consuming process but the process is picking up momentum and there is the prospect that there will be a considerable number of Los Alamos families that will have "a home of their own" for Christmas after years of being tenants of Uncle Sam. The prison also has about 50 inmates assigned to the Forestry Camp near Tierra Amarilla doing conservation work and other duties such as fire fighting- The paradox of the increased efficiency and the farm is that since the farm has become a productive 'thing' for the prison, the inmates are among the best fed in the country and the large savings the officials have been able to show enables them to provide all the extra little goodies that make the morale as high as it is. Penology experts agree tha when the morale Is high in such an institution trouble is at a minimum.
