Show Fund cut eliminates public defenders By David Clemens Deseret News staff writer Public defenders from the Salt Lake Legal Defender Association were conspicuously absent from courts city Thursday as a cut in local funding eliminated the city misdemeanor program for in- digents. Some 43 misdemeanor defendants currently in court were thus left without defense counsel, D. Gilbert Athay, director of the Legal Defender Asociation, estimated. federal funding Although Law under Enforcement Planning (LEPA) Agency expired March 1, the association carried on the defense of mdigents for six weeks under assurances that there would be city founding forthcoming, according to Athay. City matching funds were necessary before LEPA would grant federal money. But said. "I believe there's no question of their entitlement to receive a fee from the city." his Athay noted that organization handled 428 misdemeanor cases on a $40,000 budget, an average cost per case of about $93. in 1972 Salt Lake City Commission, citing, insufficient funds, Wednesday denied a request from the Legal Defender Association for $5,303 in matching funds to complement a $30,000 LEPA grant for the misdemeanor defense project.

About 200 journalists and power company officials from nine western states attended.

Most of all, we need a vice president elected independently of the President, Hatfield said. If they are of different political parties, maybe it would be for the good. Hatfield said his plan for a commission of elected administrative officials was considered by the writers of the Constitution but rejected. He likened it to the system used by many states. For Arbor Day We need to stop kidding ourselves with this independ-ent- , old-tim- e The misdemeanor defense project will continue in Salt Luke County however, according to Athay. He said the county has agreed to supply its share of matching funds for the program and LEPA has indicated it would supply funds for the county. Amount Using a complex three dimensional chart to make his point, Holifield showed that the crisis will deepen drastically in the next several decades lege. To stop ihe flow of power to We the President, need major surgery. Because power has become centralized, citizens have lost faith in politics and government, Hatfield said. He noted voter turnout in the 1972 election was the lowest since 1948. so survey in Connecticut showed that respondents ranked politicians next to lowest in trustworthiness of 20 major occupations. Only used car salesmen ranked lower. A Presidents tend to view as Congress potentially inmeddlesome obstacles, stead of according the lawstatus makers the intended by the Constitution, Hatfield said. Presently, the power struggle between the two branches is focused on the budget. Hatfield charged that impoundment of funds used by the President is a usurpation of power over the purse rightfully vested in Congress.

A neys of county aid from LEPA is not yet known. Athay said the Legal Defender Association could continue without a cutback in attorneys employed to handle misdemeanor defenses. Currently, one lawyer defends cases in the city jurisdiction and one in the county. But the association had planned to add one lawyer to the county force Athay noted, and now plans to transfer the attorney from the city defense project to the county. Funding was first granted for the misdemeanor project in March 1972, he continued. Local money in 1972 came from Model Cities funds, but I973's cutback in the Model Cities program eliminated these funds, causing the current financial problem.

Congressional staffing and procedures are "utterly inadequate to handle the responsibility of Hatfield said. budgeting, As an alternative to President Nixon's budget proposals, Hatfield urged about $8 billion increased expenditure or domestic problems, including the environment, poverty, housing, education and welfare. A like amount would be cut from the Presidents proposals for defense and foreign aid , if Hatfield hadhis way. Noting that Congress has appropriated less in each of the last four years than the President requested, Hatfield said the picture of the Congress as a spendthrift painted by the President is untrue. The speaker said the Sav ior told us He was the Way, the Truth and the Light and "its only in Christ that we will be saved after all we can do. "When you hae done all you can do, you can call on the Lord to bless you"' he said.
