Market for uncooled
milk to come to U.S.
United Press International
WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind.- Americans within the next three years
probably will be able to buy unrefrigerated milk with a shelf life up to
18 months, but whether they’ll buy it is debatable, a Purdue Univer
sity scientist says.
The product, known as “UHT” milk — for ultra high temperature
— has been marketed for years with some success in Europe and
lesser success in Canada.
“With the availability of a quality raw milk supply, an efficient
distribution system and refrigeration readily available in the home, it
seems unlikely that the U.S. consumer is going to totally accept UHT
milk,” James V. Chambers, Purdue extension animal scientist, said.
“UHT milk can be convenient for use in a summer cottage, travel
ing, camping, boating or in an emergency situation, but development
of the market is going to depend upon heavy promotion, the reduced
availability of regular milk, or the price of UHT milk being reduced
below regular milk.”

Texas A&M University’s College
of Agriculture, Texas Agricultural
Extension Service and Texas Ag
ricultural Experiment Station have
issued a joint statement disputing al
leged dangers in the use of the her

Agriculture experts Tuesday voi
ced support of the most widely used
herbicide that controls brush
growth on millions of acres of Texas
ranchland.
The herbicide has been under re
view by the Environmental Protec
tion Agency for possible health
hazards. A substance that occurs
during production of the herbicide -
TCDD, a highly toxic agent - has
been linked to possible birth defects
and miscarriages when used in high
concentrations.

Willie Paul, one of the head cooks at Sbisa
Dining Hall, prepares another of the more
than 8,000 meals served at Sbisa every day. In
his 35 years of cooking for Aggies, Paul has
watched Sbisa evolve from a wooden-floored
“barn” to the modern cafeteria it is today.
When asked about the meals, he said, “These
boys will eat anything, as long as there is a lot
of it.”

ROSWELL, N.M.— Sen. Pete Domenici, R-N.M., says a possible
shortage of usable water may lx* the next crisis facing the country
“The facts are fairly clear,” Domenici told water research institute
directors from 11 states. “America will face a major water crisis witbir
the next decade unless we take positive action to prevent it.”
Domenici, who sponsored legislation approved by Congress tosel
up water desalinization demonstration plants, said states should seel
federal funding for research and conservation programs to ease any
water shortage.
“New Mexicans, more than most Americans, know how critid
water is,” he said. “On the east side of our state, our major water
source is declining.
“Literally billions of gallons of water, much too brackish fo use
right now, lies under much of the state. With imagination and ne»
technology , we can solve these problems and provide the water our
state’s economy needs.”
The meeting was scheduled to have continued Wednesday near
Ruidoso with discussions of cooperative programs between the states
and requests for financial and technical assistance to the federal gov
emment.

Carter to decide on tax-cut
95th Congress sets record
United Press International
WASHINGTON — President
Carter will decide in the next day or
so whether to sign the $18.6 billion
tax-cut bill, based on recom
mendations of the Treasury De
partment and other experts, accord
ing to White House officials.
He also plans to take a new look at
key legislative proposals that failed
to pass in the last congressional ses
sion to determine if they warrant a

priority tag next year.
Carter’s three major disappoint
ments in the 95th Congress were
the failure to create a department of
education and a consumer advocacy
agency and to provide supplemental
financial or “countercyclical reve
nue sharing assistance for cities.
The officials indicated that as a re
sult of a Memorial Day memo urg
ing Carter to use the veto as one of
his own legislative weapons, he was
able to establish the best legislative
record since Lyndon Johnson.
Congressional liaison Frank
Moore, domestic affairs adviser
Stuart Eizenstat and national secu
rity adviser Zbigniew Brzezinski re
viewed Carter’s legislative accom
plishments for reporters under
ground rules prohibiting direct quo
tation.
Carter’s staff claims to be as busy
now as they were at the end of the
session, analyzing 189 bills, “sev
eral with red flags that may be
added to Carter’s present list of six
vetoes.
But the senior aides declined to
speculate whether Carter would
veto the tax legislation, which is
short on the reforms he wanted and
provides hefty capital gains benefits
for the middle and upper class tax
payers for which he did not ask.
