The vacant lot at 5442 Holladay Blvd. is filled with a pile of unsightly debris which gives the area a black eye and evidences lack of civic pride. It is also a health hazard to nearby homes.

Inefficient But Improving S3 m 1 GERAPDF. DEVLIN University of Utah will be a prime candidate if a pet project of U. S. Senator Frank E. Moss comes to Imitation. This week the Senate takes up consideration of Senate Bill 596 which authorises the setting up of regionally coordinated arrangements among medical schools, institutions and hospitals for research and training and for demonstrations of patient care in the fields of heart diseases, cancer, strokeandothercripplingdiseases. Under the bill about 30 regional medical centers will be set up The locations will be determined by the Secretary of Health, Welfare and Education. It is no secret, however, that one of the nations top choices will be the highly regarded University of Utahs College of Medicine in Salt Lake City The U of U. medical facility is siid to be favored in that part of the nation lying between Denver and the west coast. If the bill passes and the Salt Lake location is chosen it will be a feather in the Moss cap and a good example of how the federal government can grant badly needed financial aid without jeopardizing anyone s freedom. th He claimed that given a foregone conclusion anyone can find enough statistics to back it up, and said that if someone had studied county purchasing practices with a less jaundiced eye, they could have come out with a rosier picture. The association make six allegations: ) Most purchases are made by brand; 2) A few firms regularly get most of the orders; 3 ) There are a great many confirmation orders; " 4) There is litfle or no competition on advertised bids; 5) No one makes quantity or quality checks on items purchased, and 6) There are a great many emergency purchases by Some southeast Salt I akers envision an entirely different landscaping design for the new Churchill Junior High School.

University of Utah professor J. D. William led a neighborhood delegation in petitioning the Granite School Board for cooperation. Six thousand people residing east of Wasatch Boulevard, Dr. Williams said, find the nearest tennis courts are located at Olympus HighSchool. The board concurred. They'll provide land, put in a retaining wall if it is needed and install a fence if the county recreation department will pick up the rest of the job. That will be the next stop for Dr. Williams Dont tell who told,' was Judge Aldon J. Anderson's appeal to Salt Lake newsmen at a meeting Tuesday afternoon, June 29, to establish ground rules for press coverage of furthcoming grand jury sessions. The presiding grand jury magistrate said he hoped press representatives would agree, among themselves to not identify witnesses who might appear before the grand jury, reveal details of testiwould refrain from mony and " stories speculating on the course of the investigation. He said arrangements could be made so that all information about the progress of the grand jury could funnel through a source. Don't construe my opinion as an effort to control your said Judge responsibilities, Anderson, but he expressed hope none would feel so har- assed and freniied they would run stories penetrating the cloak of secrecy within which the investigative-bod- must operate. The Salt Lake Tribune was to volunteer to the selfcensorship, followed by representatives of The Deseret first KALL Radio, News, KSL-TKUTV Television and KLUB Radio.

DEVLIN Utah Senators Topsy When Lord Cornwallis troops marched out to surrender at Yorktown to their erstwhile colonials the British Army band played a popular tune of that day entitled The World Turned Upside Down. , A week ago, the same song would have made excellent background music as the Senate passed by a vote of 74-- 9 I j the administration backed bill to eliminate silver from dimes and quarters and cut the silver content in half dollars from 90 to 40 percent. On one side was frequent administration critic Senator Wallace F. Bennett and on the other side was his Senator junior colleague Frank E. Moss a solid administration backer. That Bennett and Moss should be on opposite sides is not particularly startling. They are often at political odds What made last week's story unique was that the usual roles were reversed.

King argued that the warning which the bill will require to be placed. on every package of cigarettes cannot compete with the hundreds of millions annually spent to glamorize cigarettes, and seduce our youth into the tobacco trap. hands, X The Utah lawmaker said that while he supported the measure when it passed the House he did so in the hopes that it would be strengthened. There appears, according to informed sources here on Capitol Hill, little likelihood for King's proposal to be adopted.
