He is also accused of plotting She banned prosecutors from using the confession, but said they could use as evidence a Halloween mask found on Rasmussen's motorcycle when the suspect was arrested. Prosecutors claim Rasmussen wore the mask when he and a partner, Ricky Dale Steed 24, Logan, held up the markets.

Steed was also charged with two aggravated robbery counts. But, in a move which surprised. Rasmussen and defense lawyers, Steed pleaded' guilty to a reduced charge of attempted theft. Prosecutors said Steed was allowed to plead guilty to the reduced charge as part of a plea bargaining deal in which Steed agreed to testify "This area has been an important part of the history of the valley, dating back to 1847 when the Mormon pioneers first camped there, choosing the mouth of the canyon because the creek provided water for drinking and irrigation," Powell saH He said Brigham Young later decided to locate the industrial section of the city at the mouth of the against Rasmussen. one son. The nation must not with such "single-minde- d fury" that it neglects other social concerns, Federal Energy Regulatory Commissioner George R. Hall said in remarks delivered in Utah. Addressing the American Gas Association, a natural gas trade association, Hall warned that energy goals that fail to consider such concerns as the environment and promoting business competition and racial equality will only engender "resistance and distrust" in the American people. in Housewares 129.99 as a matter of social policy, determined that the biggest share of this increased cost should be passed on to industrial gas users, not homeowners and small businesses. The action merely implemented a key goal in federal pricing policy, which is to "provide some assistance to high priority consumers (homes and small businesses) during this period of rapidly rising prices by shielding such consumers from some of the scheduled wellhead price increases" permitted by the energy act. Meanwhile, he said, Congress, The nation inevitably faces "adjusting our economy and society to the era of high-coenergy supplies and insulating it to the extent possible from shocks, such as those experienced in 1979, when oil prices doubled," he said. The problem is spreading the burden fairly and equitably among all citizens and groups, he said. If this is not done, he said, the whole national energy effort could be undermined. Balancing the value of improving our energy situation against other social values already has developed as a concern in energy supply and price regulation, Hill said. Until passage of the 1978 National Energy Act, the price of most of the nation's natural gas was federally regulated. Since then, price ceilings have been lifted on some natural gas as it has been newly brought into the marketplace. Because of this and other economic trends, the price of 1,000 cubic feet of gas has risen from about 84 cents in 1979 to about $1.22 presently. Hill said.

Electric utilities and some other industrial customers criticized the plan. But, said Hill, they failed to consider that without the which allowed for the higher price, it would not have been economically feasible to market the new gas supplies. Industries then would have been forced to turn to an alternate energy source likely oil, which costs more than gas for each btu produced, Hill said. Meanwhile, Hill said expanding our energy supply and reducing imports remains an overriding cond cern. Particularly, he said, dependence on impcrted oil is "manifest in the increased rate of inflation, the nation's adverse balance of payments and interest rates that have reached unprecedented levels." And, he said, "our achievements (in solving the problem) do not match our rhetoric" about it. He said however, that steps are being taken to increase the domestic supply by diversifying to coal, gassified coal and eventually solar power. st uding Save $20 on Sunbeam Vista Federal Energy Official Issues Impacts Warning pursue energy independence J daughters and family-ni- ne canyon.
