west the utoh PAGE 4 SPECTRUM SUNDAY, APRIL 26, 1981 Utah Briefs MX DEIS called inadequate Amtrak returns to Cache Valley Logan Mayor Walter Nickel, along with Intermountain Association of Railroads Passengers Charles Tubman and Amtrak Utah-Idaho sales manager Daniel Kuhn, were among a group of dignitaties slated to meet the "Pioneer" when it made its maiden stop in front of the Cache Junction Cafe. An unused Amtrak passenger shelter now in Brigham City will be moved to Cache Junction this week. CACHE JUNCTION, Utah (UPI) Passenger rail service returned to northern Utah's Cache Valley today, following a 10-year absence. Amtrak's "Pioneer" train, which runs between Salt Lake City and Seattle, was scheduled to pull into Cache Junction at 1 15 a.m. Some 45 resident of nearby Logan and surrounding communities planned to ride the train from Salt Lake City to the junction.

It will contain 200 moveable multi-warhead nuclear missiles that will be sheltered in underground chambers. Each missile will have 23 separate chambers in which it could be housed, meaning 4,600 shelters will be built. The missile would be transported around its 23-shelter home on a huge train-track system. The idea behind the project is that the Soviet Union would not be abe to tell which one of each missile's 23-chamber shelters actually housed the MX. The Air Force admits it wants to base the entire system in Utah and Nevada, but Congress required it to study the feasibility of putting all of it (full basing) or part of it split basing) in New Mexico and Texas.

It is not known when a final decision on the system the largest construction project in this country's history will be made. Force has been given the same message: Put the MX system somewhere else. About 100 people attended the Friday afternoon meeting, some of them from the area that will be affected by the proposed system if the Air force chooses the New MexicoTexas alternative they have proposed. The hearing was divided into three parts: an Air Force presentation of what the system is, why it is needed and what it will do; a question and answer period and a public comment period. It was during the latter period that Bingaman and Sanderoff complained of the inadequate draft EIS.

The MX missile system is designed to bring the United States up to par with the Soviet Union as far as this nation's military nuclear strength is concerned, Air Force officials said. SANTA FE, N.M. UPI) Both New Mexico Gov. Bruce King and Attorney General Jeff Bingaman say the U.S. Air Force's draft Environmental Impact Statement on the mammoth, controversial proposed MX missile system inadequately addresses concerns of the state.

Fourteen other people joined Bingaman and gubernatorial aide Brian Sanderoff in criticizing the bulky draft EIS, which took 15 months to complete. Their comments were made at a 3.5-hour, public Air Forcesponsored hearing in the city Friday. The hearing was the next to the last one planned in New Mexico before the Air Force produces the final EIS on the project, which will be built in either the barren lands of Utah and Nevada or the fertile lands of east New Mexico and west Texas. At each of those New Mexico hearings, the Air Wasatch Plunge goes to children Community Development grant will pay for remodelinl the building and converting it to a museum designed specially for kids. A city spokesman said the children will be able to explore the exhibits by handling and climbing on some the display if they wish SALT LAKE CITY (UPI) Salt Lake City Mayor Ted Wilson Friday signed a 50-year lease turning the old Wasatch Springs Plunge over to the Children's Museum of Utah.

The plunge, a turn-of-the-century hot springs spa, is located on North Third West in Salt Lake City.

Last Tuesday, the resort developers asked for preliminary approval on plans for a 161-acre base site facility in Provo. The plans are being reviewed by city planners, who will make a recommendation on the development next month.

PROVO, Utah (UPI) Provo City has agreed to issue $65 million in industrial revenue bonds for the proposed Heritage Mountain ski resort planned for the Wasatch Mountains east of the city. A city spokesman said the industrial bonds will allow the developers to borrow money at more Grand jury called in Salt Lake Utah Power obtains about two-thirds of its coal from the mines, but it had a 90-day stockpile at the start of the nationwide strike last month. In 1980, Emery produced 4.6 million tons of coal, all going to electric generating plants. In March, the Emery miners voted 3-1 in favor of accepting a national contract offer from the association. But that 3-year agreement was rejected because of overwhelming opposition from eastern UMW members.

Other Utah coal miners in District 22 also voted to accept the March offer, by about a 2-1 margin. Savage said his company's decision to resign from the national association was made "exclusively" by management officials. But he added that unio workers favored the move. "We are prepared to begin negotiations immediately," Savage said, adding that it is possible the miners could return to work while contact talks are in progress. persuing officers.

Varoz did not disclose the suspect's name. The man allegedly cashed $5,000 worth of the American Express Traveler's Cheques identified as part of the loot from in a 1979 armed robbery of an Ottawa, Canada, post office. The suspect managed to pass stolen checks at five banks, said Varoz, and tried to cast some in at lestthree others. An officer of one bank recognized the checks as stolen and altered police. The man fled when officers arrived, prompting the chase, Varoz said some of the checks from the Canadian robbery have surfaced recently in San Francisco, Reno, and Seattle, Wash.

Earlier, some of the checks were passed in Europe. HUNTINGTON, Utah (UPI) -Emery Mining Corp. operator of the largest underground coal mining complex in the West has broken ranks with the Bituminous Coal Operators Association to seek an independent settlement with the United Mine Workers of America. Emery President Neil Savage said Friday, "We've waited too long to return to work." The firm operates five coal mines owned by Utah Power Light Company in Utah's Emery County. Savage said he has sent a letter to the association withdrawing his firm for national talks with the UMW.

He said the company has asked the union and its district officials to open separate negotiations with Emery's 1,300 miners. A spokesman said the utility is "interested" in the development that might result in resumption of work at its mines. However, he said, "We are not directly in solved." SALT LAKE CITY UPI Police hunting a man who allegedly cashed some of $2.4 million worth of traveler's checks stolen from a Canadian post office have a good clue: A photo of the suspect that he dropped while officers were chasing him. The Salt Lake City Police Department has released copies of a photo of the suspect taken from the man's wallet. Copies of the picture were distributed to law enforcement agencies several western states, where about $100,000 worth of the stolen checks have shown up recently.

Detective Dan Varoz said the suspect escaped police who chased him on foot Wednesday through downtown Salt Lake City buildings and parking terraces. But the man dropped his wallet as he ran from allegations from citizens who believe misconduct has not been adequately handled by prosecutorial agencies. By law, the names and number of people who testify, as well as the allegations they make, must be kept secret. The last time a grand jury was called in Salt Lake County was in 1975. SALT LAKE CITY (UPI) -Judges in Utah's Third Judicial District will decide within a week whether to convene a grand jury.

On Friday, 11 of the judges in the district which covers Salt Lake County met in secret to take testimony from people who believe a grand jury should be called to investigate allegations of wrongdoing. The judges are required to meet at least every two years to hear Coal projects pursued State Demos say GOP gerrymandering Forget your feet School's new spring shoes offer you a variety of dress and casual styles in colors, materials, and textures that go anywhere.

"For this reason, we will continue to aggressively pursue the development of two major coal-fueled projects, Intermountain Power Project and White Power Project," Winnard said.

Both would be located in central Utah. "We are also considering the purchase of additional capacity in the Palo Verde Nuclear Power Project in Arizona," Winnard said. He said the utility; the largest municipally owned utility in the nation, has made "a renewed commitment to replace our existing Los Angeles basin oil and natural gas-fueled generating stations at the earliest possible date." WASHINGTON (UPI) A Los Angeles Department of Water and Power official said Friday the municipally owned utility will "aggressively pursue" development of two major coal-fueled projects in Utah and may buy more capacity at an Arizona nuclear power project. "To achieve a goal in excess of a 50 percent reduction in oil and natural gas consumption by 1990, we must look beyond conservation and renewable energy resources," Louis Winnard, general manager and chief engineer of the Department of Water and Power, told a Senate subcommittee on power regulation.

SALT" LAKE CITY (UPI) Utah Democratic Party Chairman Dale Lambert says the Republican-controlled State Legislature is trying to "gerrymander" congressional districts for the benefit of the GOP. A special legislative committee last week issued three alternate proposals for redrafting Utah's congressional district boundaries to accomodate a third U.S. representative. Two of the proposals would involve putting the west side of Salt Lake County, a traditionally Democratic area, into the new third district. Under either plan, the third district would be primarily made up of heavily Republican counties in central and southern Utah.

Utah's Second Congressional District, represented by Republican Dan Marriott, presently includes all of Salt Lake County and 10 other counties. Its area would shrink to about two-thirds of Salt Lake County. "The proposal to carve the western third of Salt Lake County out of the second district and attach it to the new third district is gerrymandering in the worst sense of the word," said Lambert. "It is an undisguised effort to turn Congressman Marriott's district into largely an East Bench district and further dilute the Democratic balance in the west side (of Salt Lake County) by placing it with the overwhelming Republican majority in the new district," he said.

Conradt told the Salt Lake Planning and Zoning Commission Thursday the street west of the Salt Palace is used by more than 13,000 vehicles daily. The commission is studying traffic and other problems involved with enlarging the complex. Conradt said closing of the street would increase traffic on 300 West by as much as 90 percent during rush hours.
