Show Governor Ramplon Speaks at Utah County Press Conference Governor Calvin L. Rampton, speaking at a press conference to which newsmen from throughout the county were invited, expressed ex-pressed his views on the Provo River: breakup of freeway struc ture surfaces; drug abuse; gun control laws: and the effect he feared a nationwide steel strike would have on Utah. Governor Rampton met with tfr newsmen at a press con ference held last Thursday err. lng at the Riverside Country Club prior to speaking before soie 500 Utah County Democrats Demo-crats at a fund raising dinner. The dinner was held at the Steel-workers' Steel-workers' Union Hall in Orem. In resDonse to a question re garding Salt Lake Police Chief Dewev Fillis' dea for a state gun control law, Gov. Rampton said he is trying to slow down writing of a proposed law so that the emotionalism connected with the issue will die down. Noting that he had just returned re-turned from a national governor's conference in Cincinnati, the Governor went on to say that governors throughout the nation are aligned on the gun issue by region, rather than by party politics. pol-itics. He said that governors in the east and various heavily populated pop-ulated states favor strong con trols while western governors do not. He said there is currently a committee surveying Utah laws on guns to determine what course the state should take. "When you attempt to pass a law which attempts to regulate conduct of people, you had better have one acceptable to the people,-' he said. He recalled the failure of the prohibition law because it was not accepted by the people. In speaking of the effect of a possible steel strike, Governor Gover-nor Rampton expressed fear that a long strike could cause United States Steel Corp. to shut down the Geneva Plant. "The thine I fear." he said. "is that a shut-down may cause United States Steel to reassess this plant as to whether they want to reopen here.' In the event of a strike, he went on. Utah's welfare burden would increase considerably as an indirect result of the strike. This would be cause by striking steel workers displacing other men in the state's work force. fiov. RamDton noted that the steel workers are "hiehlv outl ined men who know how to work". As a result, he said, when they aDDlv for iobs outside of the steel plant during a strike, they l ; , ' , , w 1 ----- '" : t f t ' - '-'' '' 4 " FROM HOLLEY AUTO CO. $336400 No. P543 IM PONTIAC CTO HARDTOP COUPE THE GREAT WIDE-TRACK No. F564 GETS HOTTER!

Speaking on the breakup of freeway structure surfaces, the governor noted that the problem is being worked on by engineers who hope they have developed a technology which will prevent breakup of newer structures. He said the . problem is caused by cold air beneath the structure increasing freezing and thawing problems, and reported that most of the structures presently causing caus-ing problems are those several years old. In response to a question on the pollution of the Provo River, Governor Gov-ernor Rampton said the river is being studied along with other rivers and streams throughout the state as part of the state's attempt to control pollution. He said that there was currently no open sewage going into Utah Lake, adding, however, that it was felt that some plants did a more complete job than others. The Governor then spoke on durg abuse, stating that he questioned ques-tioned the valllity of a recent report that 30 per cent of Utah's youths have been expose J to drug abuse. The report also said that a substantial number of these have become addicts. Gov. Rampton Ramp-ton said he felt the report "ov-erstatted" "ov-erstatted" the problem although he does feel it is serious. In expressing his views on Utah's educational system, he said Utah gives a better than average education for the median med-ian student, but does not do as good a job in educating the ex ceptionally bright student. As evidence of this, he cited the fact that Utah has a relatively low number of National Merit Scholars. The problem, he said, is caused by a low amount of money, per pupil, to spend on education. However, the governor also noted that Utah is one of the first states in the union in the amount of money, per capita, it spends for education. Thj dis parity is caused by having few people and large families. The shortest and surest way to live with honor in the world is to be in reality what we would appear to be.
