"I am embarking upon It with a Professor Hits USSR Censorship In ABA Pamphlet N.C.- -A WINSTON-SAL- EM, Duke University scholar, who will participate in the American Bar Association Law Day conference on freedom of speech at Wake Forest University, April says that truth is hard to find in the Soviet 28-1- 9, Union. In his new work, "Freedom of Expression and Dissent in the Soviet Union," law professor Dr. Kaslmieri Gnybowsld concludes that although "mass terror" is no tongv applied against writers in the Soviet Union, the flow of information is still severely restricted by law; ' censorship and various kinds of - intimidation. The press is shackled, he says, in two main ways through government monopoly ownership and operation or printing equipment, and through censorship. No Individual may own and operate a printing shop, much less daily publish a newspaper or periodical, Dr. notes. According to Dr. Gnybowski, Soviet artists are expected to portray only a "rosy" picture of life in a socialist society as a means of generating greater support for the great deal of enthusiasm, but no ilthe present incumbent will provide a most difficult race," the candidate said. He said he wanted to be part of the team of Gov. Calvin L Ramp-to- n and added he felt qualified to serve on the State Board of Examiners because of his legislative background.

When allowance is made for the reduced purchasing power of the dollar, the effective sales volume increase, expressed in terms of constant dollars, amounted to 10.2 last year. The Foundation study points out that business volume in Utah has nearly doubled since 1960. The increase between 1965 and 1970 was Much of this rise is due to inflation. When sales volumes are adjusted for changes in the consumers price index, the total increase between 1960 and 1971 amounts to 45 and the rise between 1965 and 1971 is Suburban Shift Confirmed Foundation analysts note that Salt Lake County accounts for more than one half the total sales volume in Utah. Salt Lake City proper is responsible for about 55 of the of the total county total and 30 sales for the state. During recent years there has been a shift of business away from the central business districts to suburban shopping centers. In 1971, for example, business volume in Salt Lake City grew by only 9.7, compared with a 15.0 growth rate for the entire state. During the period between 1965 and 1971, the business growth rate was only about that for the state as a whole. Business volume in suburban Murray, on the other hand, jumped 57 in 1971 and has tripled since 1965. The study by Utah Foundation shows the sales volumes in 27 Utah counties and 22 selected cities for 1965, 1970, and 1971 along with an index of business activity for these local units during the period 1965 through 1971. These data were derived from reported sales of goods and services subject to the Utah sales and use tax laws. This tax applies to most retail sales of tangible personal property, meals, admissions, and many services, such as utility charges, repairs, hotel and motel bills, laundry, cleaning, etc. Related graph on page 4. 5.9 60. 25. two-thir- masa-circulati- on Gr-sybow- BUSINESS ACTIVITY IN UTAH BY QUARTER (in thousands of dollars) 1970 Period 1st Quarter $ 2nd Quarter 3rd Quarter . 4th Quarter Total 1971 534,269 616,025 640,717 669,376 UTAH FOUNDATION Orders Runoff Vote At Stanford NLRB laboratory support personnel, custodians, food service employees, unrepresented operators employees 14. 0 $2.829.078 15.0 from sales tax 13.9 14.6 17.1 data.

U.S. District Judge. Charles E. Wyzanski, Jr., agreed, April 4, with the defenses motion that the indictment against Raymond Andrews, 21, was returned by an improperly selected grand jury.
