Modeler David Prey, BAQ staff, explained to the Air Conservation Committee, meeting in Provo Monday afternoon, that the new numbers reflect the 1988-8- 9 winter using chemical mass balance data collected that includes a new west Orem monitor. Prey said that without the new monitor the county assignments of responsibility would be a little different. The Lindon monitor source apportionment puts Geneva's primary PM10 at 50.5 percent, Geneva's secondary at 9.4 percent for a total of 59.9 percent. The west Orem monitor boosts the Geneva secondary contribution to 23.9 percent while the primary contribution falls to 43.7 percent for a total of 67.6 percent.

Design value according to the Lindon monitor would be 260 micrograms per cubic mete-- 263 according to the west Orem monitor. The allowable standard is 150 micrograms per cubic moter. "We must therefore design a plan to reduce 113 micrograms per cubic meter," explained Cordner. On the source apportionment pie chart for west Orem, autos count for 13.6 percent of the PM10, 2.1 percent primary PM10 and 11.5 percent PM10. Other industries divide 8 percent between primary and secondary (See PM10, Page A2) Geneva lauded for modernization plan By SHARON MORREY Herald Staff Writer Geneva Steel's President Joe Cannon likened himself to the hero in "Horton Hatches the Egg" by Dr. Seuss as he shared the details of a $70 million plan to modernize the Utah Valley steel mill Monday. "I meant what I said and I said what I meant," quipped Cannon as he explained the motivation behind the three-pa- rt plan that promises to bring Geneva up to speed and up to compliance standards well ahead of federal dictates. "I've looked forward to this day for a long time," added Cannon. "We've worked for it very patiently." Cannon said an associate in the steel industry asked him why he would do something "like this" without coercement. . "This is a tremendous thing. I see it as one of the most responsible acts I've seen from industry in a long time." I had said I "I told him that would," said Cannon. Gov. Norman Bangerter lauded the plans, which include replacing the open hearth furnaces with a basic oxygen process known as at a cost of $57 million. Bangerter said Utah must have viable industry to keep moving forward but added, "If this doesn't solve all of Geneva's problems, we'll ask them to do more." Sen. Orrin Hatch congratulated Geneva Steel. "This is a tremendous thing," he said. "I see it as one of the most responsible acts I've seen from industry in a long time." Hatch said by moving ahead voluntarily, Geneva is showing United States Steel what the "old plant" can do and may be putting pressure on other steel mills to follow suit. U.S. Rep. Howard Nielson emphasized that Geneva is well ahead of industry in the state or in the nation in its clean air efforts. He pointed out that Geneva does not legally have to comply to a developed PM10 standard for years yet. IJielson also called for an end to vocal harassment and pickets against the mill. "Don't destroy industry to get clean air," he ad- vised. Lt. Gov. Val Oveson said the quality of life has many aspects. "One is a job," he said. Provo Mayor Joe Jenkins thanked the Geneva Steel management for their efforts to "give back to the community." Utah County Commissioner Brent Morris, who acknowledged himself as one of Geneva's strongest critics, prefaced his remarks as unsolicited.

The crane flattened a small school bus and a protective scaffolding over the sidewalk, hit a taxi and smashed into a office building across the street as it buckled, swung and went down. Bystanders fled in terror. A piece of the crane at least three stories long dangled from the side of the building under construction two hours after the 8:30 a.m. accident. Police roped off the area and ambulances rushed in and out, taking away the injured. Gas was cut off to the damaged office building for fear of an explosion. Police Capt. John Newlin said three construction workers, the bus driver, a young passenger and a pedestrian were killed. He said 11 people were injured. But three hospitals reported at least 15 hurt, four in serious condition. The crane on what will house the Federal Home Loan Bank was hoisting construction steel when it tipped over, said Fire Chief Fred Postel. Debris rained down on a taxi driven by Issa Massarweh, who had two passengers at the time. The cab's back window was smashed.

Doctors involved in the transplant predicted success for Monday's operations on Alyssa Smith and her mother, Teresa. The procedure could relieve a severe shortage of organs for children, specialists say. During the night the surface of Alyssa's new liver began to bleed, a complication that occurs in about 30 percent of all liver transplants, said John Easton, a spokesman for University of Chicago Medical Center. She was returned to the operating room before dawn and the surgery was completed more than 4l-- j hours later, said hospital spokeswoman Sue Sheerin.

Kohl proposes 'confederation' of Germanys BONN, West Germany hancellor Helmut (AP) Kohl today -C- an- nounced a plan to draw the two Germanys into an informal confederation that eventually would lead to reunification. West Germany's major opposition party also called for unity. In East Germany, a Communist newspaper warned that society could collapse unless authorities stem emigration and punish corrupt officials. Hundreds took to the streets of thousands in five cities Monday night in what has become a weekly ritual to maintain pressure on the ruling Communists to enact reforms. One of the biggest cheers among the 200,000 demonstrators in Leipzig came when a speaker urged a referendum on German unity. East Germany's leaders oppose reunification, but a proposed confederation is being discussed. The government in East Berlin was expected to issue a statement on Kohl's remarks later today. address to ParKohl's liament was the most thorough delineation of his vision of eliminating the partition imposed at the end of World War II. In a plan, he proposed to confedesteps "develop taking rate structures between the two nt states in Germany in order to create a federation, a federal order." He stressed, however, that such measures could only be undertaken if there are free elections in East Germany that include parties. East Germany's new Communist leaders have said such elections could be held as early as next st fall. Kohl also said steps toward German reunification must be linked to relations and a improved new European order based on cooperation, economic integration and greater freedom of movement. "The future structure of Germany East-We- st must fit into the whole architecture of Europe as a whole," he said. Kohl suggested the creation of consultative committees with East Germany, including a joint parliamentary panel. "Such a coming together is in the interest of the continuation of German history," Kohl said. n Vogel, the Earlier, leader of the opposition Social Democrats, proposed a confederation between the German states as an interim step toward unity. He also insisted German unity come as part of the process of overall European integration. " - .H 2' Weather Tonight will be mostly fair, but continuing cold.
