Conwell Across From the Cemetery Gate Phone 234-7621 mining of coal deposits underlying their Hansen said this would be a real property, deterrent because there would be little or no inducement to farmers or ranchers and could mean the government would be denied access to federal coal reserves. He said, however, that he doesn't believe the U.S. House will override Ford's veto, Asked about reaction in Wyoming and Congress to Secretary of the Interior Designate Stan Hathaway's support of the President's veto, Hansen answered, "I think that the people in Wyoming overwhelmingly support Gov.

Hathaway, 1 think the people of Wyoming support a reasonable energy development in this state." He also said he feels the former two Wyoming Republican governor will term confirmed "overwhelmingly" by the be Senate for the cabinet post. Asked how many votes that would be, he said, "Anything over 51 per cent in overwhelming. He'll get lots more than that." Although the Senator said be deplored the loss of American lives in the rescue of the U.S. freighter Mayaguez from Cambodian hands, he maintained the important facet of the move was the impact worldwide. He added that if this country had taken strong action when the U.S.

Intelligence ship Pueblo was seized several years ago, the Mayaguez incident would never have occurred. Asked by a reporter if the U.S. should use the same might to rescue a spy ship as a merchant vessel, Hansen said following a slight pause, "Yes, I think so, I'm hawkish." Pointing out that Congress "failed and failed miserably to come up with an energy policy" he said be favors President Ford's proposal to impose a higher tariff on foreign oil and de control domestic oil over an outright boost in gasoline prices. The latter approach would penalize both Wyoming and Nevada, which have the highest gasoline consumption of any states in the U.S. But he said the President's proposal would also mean an increase in gasoline costs.

The Republican Senator said he was not asked to sign a letter to President Ford in support of Israel, which 76 U.S. Senators did sign, and would not have done so in any case. He said that while be wants to see the integrity of Israel preserved, be is also a realistic and believes that the majority of Congress will not commit American troops there after the Vietnam experience. The best approach, be continued, is to support the diplomatic efforts of Secretary of State Henry Kissinger, Hansen said he feared the letter will give false encouragement to one group of Israelis because it implied the U.S. would back the nation if necessary not only with economic and military aid but with American ground troops.

On another topic, the bill to create consumer protection agency, Hansen said be opposes the measure and believes the President will veto it. Armadillo fest begins VICTORIA, Tex. (UPI) The Fifth First Annual Armadillo Exposition and Confab opened Friday to the sounds of yellers, belchers and beer can smashers. But that was nothing new. The 600-acre Riverside Park, the soggy new home of the madness on the Guadulupe, started filling up by noon, and the official beginning was at 2 p.m.

"We didn't do nothing special," said confab spokesman Fred Armstrong. "'We just let it begin." Armstrong said the live entertainment and contests did not start until later in the day but some competitions were already heating up. "I tell you there is very strong competition in the Best All-Around Person in the World contest, the beer can smash and the yell off. People are already starting to yell," he said. The first competition to get underway was the body painting contest, one of the more popular events.

The Fifth First Annual Etc. Etc. features such festivities as armadillo burrowing contests, Miss Vacant Lot of the World and tobacco spitting -with and against the wind. Beer costs only 35 cents a glass ensuring enough contestants for the ever-popular world belching contest. Armstrong, the originator of the madman's picnic, said he expects more than the 40,000 who showed up last year.
