Relatively Calm Enns applauds . Court ruling to halt Garrison continued from Page 1 Enns said. The news hit a much More sour note with representatives from North Dakota who have said the project is vital for the area s agricultural development.

His views were echoed by senators Mark Andrews and Quentin Burdick of North Dakota. Both said through spokesmen that the North Dakota delegation would rally either in court or in Congress to save the project. Casting the decision in a somewhat better Light for the project s supporters an aide to Burdick said Richey s ruling does not necessarily mean Congress must act to save the project. We think there could be ways to save it without passing a new said William Wright an aide to Andrews. Wright said the decision will precipitate heavy Legal Battles involving constitutional limits on Federal judges. He s Richey telling Congress what to do to take said Wright. He very Well May have overstepped his an aide in Burdick s office said Secretary of Interior James Watt is favourably disposed to so an Appeal is Likely. Interior and the . Justice department would give no indication yester Day following the ruling whether such a move will come. Casey Dinges of the Audubon society said however that whatever the out come of a possible Appeal of Richey s ruling it will Stop the project for at least several years enough time to give the project some serious Good position Dinges pointed out that with the present makeup of the House the environmentalists Are in a Good position to Block any attempt by backers of the project to ram through the present Garrison plan. In making his decision Richey picked one of two parallel .-Audu Bon suits on which to make his ruling. He based his opinion on a higher court decision last year in which the circuit court for the District of com Bia threw out a 1978 lower court ruling that disapproved the Interior audobon agreement.
