Sees ‘lid of economic stagnation’ Skaggs seeks countv Dost By PETER MEAD Of the Emerald A lid of economic stagnation is being laid upon Lane County," ac cording to Joe Skaggs, a Republi can candidate for the Lane County Board of Commissioners, position one. The "lid Skaggs spoke of is made of county regulations de manding conformity to building permits, septic tank permits and land-use planning regulations. This lid 'is binding our citizens...our private enter prise...is undermining our very heritage of individual rights, he said. Skaggs proposes a council of business people to represent the interests of private enterprise in land-use planning. Developing a different approach to environmen tal decisions is a mam plank in his platform of imperative need for change in Lane county govern ment, as he outlined Friday to a Rubicon Society luncheon. The county s selective ap proach in allowing real estate de velopments, building or septic tank permits "is always a negative approach, Skaggs said It s al ways, how can we knock this man down, how can we stop him, in stead of how can we help. Land-use planning has oper ated on “emotion, theory and supposition, Skaggs said. "No where have we gone to private en terprise to help us make those de cisions,' he said. II Skaggs gains the Republican nomination to run tor position one in the general elections, he may face democratic incumbent Nancy Hayward, who favors land-use planning to preserve the region s ecological balance. Skaggs, 57, a Vida realtor, is president of the McKenzie River Landowners As sociation. To meet the county s need for increased jail space, Skaggs of fered a plan built around a farm correctional facility. Prisoners sentenced to a year or less could work on the farm. Prisoners con victed of serious felonies, waiting transfer or soon to be released could be kept in a holding facil ity, he said. When asked about his stand on increasing the number of mem bers on the county s Board of Commissioners, Skaggs said he would not comment until Tuesday, when the Republican Central Committee will announce its posi tion He did say he favored adding up to a total of five members, pro vided each represents a specific district in the county. On the managing of the county's services, Skaggs said, We can afford many, many things today, but let's not overload the taxpayer.” He favors develop ing a list of priorities on county services, "going down the line of priorities, and what we can’t af ford, that must go. He has de veloped no extensive list of priorities, but said he would not cut the sheriff s budget. Skaggs called for increased ef ficiency from the county's bureaucratic units. Many will have to be cut back, because they produce little for the citizen major ity, at high cost. I repeat, we must divert government from the direc tion of all things for all people.’” He did not specify which units he would like to cut. To fund its budgets, the county must depend less on federal money, Skaggs said. He exp lained that federal funds for some programs have “strings attached" or require matching funds, and may eventually be dropped, leav ing the county to foot the entire bill. Just because certain monies are offered for certain programs, does not mean that all such prog rams are proper for, and afforda ble by the citizens of Lane County," Skaggs said. He did not specify programs he wants cut. CIA ‘Chaos’ hit schools WASHINGTON (AP)—The Central Intelligence Agency col lected information about political dissidents at Utah State Univer sity, Brown University and Boston University in 1970 and 1971, ac cording to newly released docu ments from the CIA s Operation Chaos. The 141 pages of CIA files, the first Operation Chaos documents to be made public, also showed that the agency followed the movements of American political dissenters traveling abroad and kept track of foreign visitors to U S. dissident groups A separate batch of 47 docu ments showed that the CIA, as late as November 1974, was cir culating information about the political activities of Socialist Workers party leader Peter Camejo to one of its overseas sta tions. The CIA released parts of Camejo s dossier to him after he requested it under the Freedom of Information Act. The agency released the Oper ation Chaos files to the Socialist Workers in response to a court order in the party s multimillion dollar damage suit against the CIA and FBI for allegedly illegal harassment. The files were made public by the Political Rights Defense Fund which is financing the party s law suit The Rockefeller Commission report said Operation Chaos ag ents were specifically used to col lect domestic intelligence on only three occasions, one of them in Washington and the other two not identified further But the report said CIA recruits who learned how to spy by infiltrating New Left groups in the United States were instructed to report information acquired incidentally about dis sident activities. The heavily censored Chaos files included a report on a Brown University seminar sponsored by the Young Socialist Alliance, youth affiliate of the Socialist Workers. According to a source in atten dance. the meeting and speaker were oriented toward inciting re volution and anarchy in the U.S.,” the memo said. Among the participants. .. were Black Panthers, various Arab stu dents at Brown, and disenchanted members of the U. S. Jewish communities.' The report also described an Arab coffee hour' at the Provi dence, R.I., school later that month.
