An Insight Research survey in Sunday's Salt Lake Tribune showed Corradini with 28 percent support leading into Tuesday's primary SALT LAKE CITY election. She was followed by fellow Democrats Mike Zuhl with 17 percent and Dave Jones with 11 percent. Dave Buhler, the lone Republican among the candidates for the officially nonpartisan office, also weighed in with 11 percent. Two percent favored Socialist Worker Patricia Grogan, according to the survey of 600 residents last Wednesday and Thursday. However, 32 percent remained undecided, and Corradini said she didn't intend to slack off before the primary, an election that typically generates a sparse turnout.

For example, said the report being released Monday, the FDA believed a particular brand of chewable Vitamin D tablets designed for children was too potent and a possible cause of elevated blood calcium levels which could damage kidneys and possibly lead to death. "But the FDA cannot order recalls, so the agency began negotiations with the manufacturer instead. No agreement had been reached at the time the report was written, and the tablets were continuing to be sold. In another case, a hog producer in Indiana was feeding his animals seed corn contaminated with a fungicide and pesticide. The FDA was concerned that the chemicals would end up in the pork and absorbed by humans, but it had to ask the state veterinarian to seed corn because it lacked the authority. The process is extremely time consuming. While appropriate channels were being pursued, the pork was still on the market. These examples and more were collected by the staff of the House Energy and Commerce subcommittee on investigations and oversight to show why a bill scheduled for a subcommittee vote this week is needed. The bill would give the FDA enforcement power over industries it regulates similar to that already enjoyed by the Agriculture Department October 21, 1991 7:00 p.m. Union Ballroom I '91 $1 ,500 scholarship to be awarded to the winner $500 first runner-u- p $300 second runner-u- p L over its charges. business groups oppose it, saying there was "no But evidence, pattern or practice to suggest" the FDA needed anything more than additional financial and human resources to do a better job.
