Larry Anderson, director of the state Division of Radiation Control, said radiation experts received a call Wednesday night from a Salt Lake County man who picked up the device Monday on the road near Silver Creek Junction. He did not know what it was, but took it home and left it in his garage. The device is used to measure soil moisture and compaction at construction sites. Officials question Cook education ad - SALT LAKE CITY (AP) The State Office of Education has taken issue with budget figures presented e in a advertisement by Infull-pag- dependent Party gubernatorial candidate Merrill Cook. The ad, depicting Cook in cap and gown, states that 54 percent of the $1.35 billion tax support for Utah education "disappears into overhead" before it gets to classrooms. "Our data do not support his conclusions," said Deputy State Superintendent Laurie Chivers. "It is difficult to analyze his conclusions, because we don't know the source of the budget data he is using in his advertisement."

Bush met Democratic candidate Bill Clinton and independent Ross Perot during a second presidential debate that took a format, allowing audience members to ask questions. Following the first debate, political analysts reasoned that Bush had to deliver a stand-u- p performance in Richmond, Va., to reclaim strength in the campaign.

The candidates took the questioners advice and spoke on a range of issues including gun control, term limits, health care and education. "I thought it was the best debate I've seen in terms of getting the issues out and talking," said Ted Wilson, director of the University of Utah's Hinckley Institute of Politics and a former Salt Lake City mayor. "It's much harder to stand in front of honest American citizens and simultaneously sling mud all over your opponent," said Wilson, a former unsuccessful Democratic candidate for governor. Wilson said he also felt that Bush did little to help him overtake Clinton in the polls prior to the Nov. 3 election. "I think Bill Clinton was spectacular in trying to get his plan on the table tonight and gave the people a real feel of what his future plans are," Wilson said. Bush also talked about issues and the future more than he ever has, Wilson said. "But his credibility is so low that people are not listening." Wilson and Hurtado both said that Perot seemed to preach more of the same, using quips that he "is all ears" and that the "White House is a bully pulpit." But the two concluded that while Perot can articulate the problem, he falls short in talking about solutions. However, Jeff Volimas, campaign coordinator for the Perot campaign in Utah, said Perot has consistently offered the true solution: change.

ROY (AP) Prosecutors have approved a murder charge against d a boy in the slaying of a girl and will seek to have him tried as an adult, says Weber County Attorney Reed ' Richards. The was boy being held Thursday for investigation into the strangulation death of Tara Stark, whose body was found in an irrigation ditch late Tuesday. Richards said the murder petition, the equivalent of an information in adult court, would be formally filed later .Thursday or Friday. The youth was scheduled to appear next Thursday in 2nd District Juvenile Court, and a certification hearing likely would be scheduled at that time. Police said Stark was killed within 20 feet of where her body was found by neighbors who began searching after she failed to return home. died a Stark, a little more than a block away from her home after an attack or. a dirt access road. Police said she had bruises on her throat and face and abdomen bruises sustained after her death when she was dragged into the ditch. Some of the child's friends told police Tuesday that they had seen the girl leaving school' with the suspect, a student at Roy Junior High School. Neighbors said the two children often walked home from school together along the dirt road. Prosecutor Gary Heward said Thursday that a number of factors are taken into consideration during certification hearings for prosecution of a juvenile in adult court, including the seriousness of the offense, if a firearm was used and if the crime was violent and aggressive or premeditated. A judge also would consider the maturity of the juvenile, any prior records and whether the community should need protection beyond what can be provided by the juvenile court. Unlike adults, bail is not set for juvenile defendants, Heward said. Instead, a juvenile judge decides whether there will be detention or release with or without teen-age- . fourth-grade- r, Council endorses proposed airport alcohol legislation Tom-Orm- e. Merchants object to $7 meter fines might have come up a little, but he did not make a break through," said Alex Hurtado, a Utah Republican delegate and former director of political operations for the National Republican Committee. Asked who he would pick as the debate's winner, Hurtado said, "I think technically Bill Clinton did a little better and was a little sharper, but I don't know if emotionally he did as well." Part of Bush's problem was blamed on the "wimp factor." "I think it's because George Bush is a real nice guy," Hurtado said. "Because of that he just doesn't come off as sharp and aggressive as someone who is not a nice guy .

"I see this as one of the easiest of the proposed changes to go along with," Albert Cooper of Park City, the council's acting chairman, said prior to the 1 vote. The Legislature's business and economic development committee is studying several proposed changes to Utah's liquor laws, including one to allow two more lounges at the Salt Lake airport and to expand tavern hours to 8 a.m. to midnight, rather than 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. "If we had one clear-cu- t issue, it ' was this one," said Cooper.

Kojima's donation was the largest of the evening. Over the next several weeks, it was reported that Kojima owed child support to four children from two marriages and allegedly owed about $1 million from past business transactions. A warrant for Kojima's arrest was issued, and organizers of the dinner, who had first defended accepting the money, put the contribution in escrow and asked a federal judge to decide who should get it. Kojima was arrested at the Salt Lake City airport Saturday as he waited to board a flight to Denver. Prosecutors described Kojima as one of Los Angeles County's biggest "deadbeat dads," making large political contributions while failing to support his family. viewed his conduct as kind of cynical." said Deputy District At- torney Thad Young. Under the agreement, Kojima was given a suspended jail sentence and ordered to pay about SI 24.000 in fines and child support.
