Show Wednesday, Octcbtfftiwe Pago 4 Continued frontpage 4 S STILL OUT THERE ' INTERNATIONAL Beirut, Lebanon The Lebanese civil war appeared to be heading toward a climax Friday, despite last-minute efforts by the Soviet Union to introduce a new Middle East peace initiative. As Syrian and Christian fighters continued to push forward, in the mountainous Metn region east of Beirut, Christian forces launched an assault on the Palestinian-held resort town of Aley. The town straddles the Beirut-Damascus highway, and should it fall, the Christian and Syrian forces would control the road down to Beirut. Soviet sources, stressing that the continued fighting benefits no one except Israel, would neither deny nor confirm reports the Soviet Union soon would be calling upon the Syrians and Palestinians, to withdraw, perhaps to be replaced by. French and Egyptian troops. ; London While experts were predicting the worst is yet to come, the quaking British pound plunged to a new low of $1.63 last Tuesday. - . Like the selling wave last spring that 'drove the pound off its perch at $2.02, there was no good explanation for last week's collapse from dealers, economists or officials. La Paz, Mexico Rescue teams dug through "an enormous blanket of mud" Saturday, unearthing and burning or burying the bodies of Hurricane Liza's victims. . Officials reported at least 630, and perhaps as many h as 1,000 persons were killed by the hurricane, which roared across the southern Baja peninsula Friday , with winds up to 130 miles per hour and then struck the Mexican coast across the Sea of Cortez. Some 14,000 persons are said to be injured and 70,000 left homeless. , Moscow The wife and mother of Soviet pilot Viktor Belenko, who landed his super-secret MIG25 , fighter in Japan three weeks ago, tearfully pleaded for his return last week during a press conference ' called by the Soviet Foreign Ministry. The two women, calling Belenko's reported i defection "a deliberate lie," claimed he had made an f emergency landing and was then prevented from . leaving.

NAME ADDRESS Mail Subscription Form to: THE NEWSPAPER Box 738 Park City, Utah 84060 Amendments to the Clear Air Act were killed on Saturday largely due to the filibustering efforts of Utah Senators Frank Moss and Jake Gam. - The bill would have postponed for one year the. 1970 law's deadline for stricter auto pollution control ; requirements and forbidden any "significant deterioration" of air quality. The auto industry,' hoping for more leeway on exhaust requirements, lobbied against the bill and an unbreakable fillibuster, initiated by Moss, forced its withdrawal. On Thursday, Sen. Moss said in a press release, "I am not willing to see written law restrictive x standards that would be detrimental to Utah. We ' can't lock up our state. We have to grow-We have to have industry." Sacramento, Calif Gov. Edmund G. Brown said Friday he signed the first "right to die" bill in the ; nation to protect terminally ill patients from being treated as "subhuman." . : ' Brown, a former Jesuit seminarian, said he gave !' the emotionally debated measure "careful and , thoughtful" deliberation before he signed it a few 4 minutes before midnight Thursday. There's a very ancient moral doctrine that there's, no moral obligation to sustain human life through artificial and extraordinarv means," Brown said. ' "Machines should serve humans rather than the reverse." ' Chicago Eldridge Cleaver, former Black Panther revolutionary and born-again patriot, verbally clashed with leftists in a Northwestern University audience last week who did not agree with his explanation of his recent reformation. Trading in his beret and fatigues for a dark, , three-piece suit as conservative as his new philosophy, Cleaver told the audience he returned to the United States because Watergate and his world travels convinced him that America has "the freest and most democratic government in the world." "We've developed an attitude that the United States government is totally foul; the Third World governments and Communist governments are totally without fault; and that any shortcomings they might have are due to imperialists encircling them," Cleaver said. "We can no longer continue to justify Third World nations and Communist nations having dictatorial ; forms of government... one-p.arty states," he said. Pasadena, Calif.

Improvements Needed City Manager Wayne Mathews Mat-hews told the Newspaper the loan is "necessary to insure adequate water flow from respective reservoirs to the older section of the city." He said the existing distri-, bution system cannot b.e depended upon to provide this water flow' due to insufficient water line sizes and general deterioration of the lines. ' . In addition to the installation installa-tion of water meters for commercial and residential buildings, the loan would be used to increase two inch lines to four inches, four inch These Features For $45,000 In ProspectorVillage? fir PARK CITY UNIV Of UTAH MIK CITY INST.

Matthews noted not-ed that the main line from ' the city ? reservoir at the' south end of town has a ten inch diameter and that the existing distribution lines are unable to fully handle the water made available by the. main line. He added that this restricted restrict-ed flow could be critical in fire' fighting situations. "With the new system, we could be assured of having adequate water throughout the city while enhancing our fire protection capabilities as recommended by the Insurance Insur-ance Underwriters," Mat- thews Said, v Water maintenance costs to the city would also be greatly ' reduced by an upgraded system, according to the city manager, who V termed present costs at "relatively high." He also said an increased number of gate valves in the new system would greatly reduce the number of residents resi-dents inconvenienced by a major water line break and minimized the fire hazard caused by such a break. V " Water Rates V Matthews emphasized that repayment of the $500,000 at five percent over forty years has already been built into . the present water rate schedule since the city thought the loan had cleared 'all bureaucratic hurdles.

The difference differ-ence will be that water consumers will be charged according to use rather than on the existing uniform set fees, he added. Timetable ' Should the outcome of the bond election be affirmative, -Matthews said the water improvements will be implemented im-plemented "as quickly as possible." Bids on- the project would be accepted in April of 1977 or earlier and the majority of the work could be completed by October of that same year, he predicted. A major streets improvement improve-ment plan is slated to be implemented simultaneously with the water line replacements. replace-ments. City officials said the resurfacing of many roads has been held in abeyance due to the possible water line excavations.
