Show THE LEADER. UNDER The CAPITOL DOME A weekly summary of the activities of the Utah State Legislature, now in session. A move for a special session to considperhaps next fall er the recommendations of Utah's 60.man Public School Survey Commission stirred up considerable momentum on Capitol Hill this week. First real talk of such a session was heard after the commission presented its report at a joint session last Thursday. The report offered 25 legislative recommendations, requiring over 30 bills. One of the main arguments against immediate consideration of the program was lack of time, little less than two weeks remain to the session before it is slated to adjourn on March 12 There are nearly 450 bills before the two houses that have been introduced and received no attention. Senate action on the tchool report was to hand the school commission bills to a committee, which is to come back with a recommendation as to how they should be handled. It is believed that if any are urgent they can be handled how and other matters can be considered at another session. Some talk of a special session immediately following the present regular session also has been stifled. Legislators want to chance to get home and get the reaction of their constituents on the conclusions drawn by the school commission. Pricipal field of controversy over the commission report is in The survey group finances. says another $7,190,000 will be necessary from the state level for the public school program during the next biennium. This will cover a natural increase in school population and classroom units and recommended increase in the minimum classroom unit cost from $3,300 to $3,500. It also accounts for a transfer of some costs from the local to the state level. Not taken into consideration is the $1,500,000 appropriated for teacher retirement and $2,157,000 asked of the state to - MS UJ-Illl- i ln r Dr.'s wife and her brothers. all of the villagers in Dr. Mafia use our spoons and our village without hunting.

We all had a good time laughing at their antics and had the servants looking in windows and door to see what all the noise was about. By the time dinner was served we were all relaxed and acquainted. Dinner was very much the same as lunch, just a different kind of soup, and different mixture with 4he rice. The Mafi's said that they had a jeep at one of the villages and that the moon was right to go gazelle hunting. After dinner, it was nine o'clock, the men left for the hunt. Mrs. Bazar gani and I spread our sleeping bags on the foor, in adjoining rooms, and went to bed. I didn't lock a door nor did I feel a bit nervous.

When he had eaten all we wished, the dishes and food were removed. A new clean cloth was put on the table and the dishes and silverware were brought for tne fruit course. I like the Persian custom of finishing every meal with fresh fruit in season. We were served apples, oranges and rtanger-ines. The women of the Village kept in the background. They wore the colorful Kurdish dress of turbans on the head, long fitted jackets over very full flared skirts that were ballerina length, a bright colored, usually red or yellow, waist apron that went all around and was rather snug, the buttons on the dresses and jackets were as large as our dollars and were actually large Irani coins, and stockings and shoes. The women were fairly tall and stood so straight. It was a joy to watch them walk and note the proud way they carried themselves.. iAfter dinner we went to a second village. Here again, we were met by a large group of men and boys and the two men in front with a sheep. The same ceremony took place. I was getting curious. I asked the Dr. what the sheep was for and he told me that when the villagers wanted to honor the landlord or any visitors, they always met them outside the village and killed a sheep as the people arrived. Then the sheep was given to the poor of the village. He had stopped the killing, thinking that the sight of blood would be distasteful to me and Mrs. Bazargani.. I was very happy that he had spared me the gory ceremony and at first I was a little sorry for the poor who didn t get any meat but I concluded that his villagers didn't need the meat. These villagers were the best dressed, happiest group that I had seen so far in Iran. As Mrs. Bazargani and I waited in the car while the men had a meeting with the villagers, a servant brought out a special treat to us. These people were very proud of their dry land winter watermelons. The servant brought a half a watermelon on a tray, with two soup spoons. The inside of the melon had been cut away from the rind and the cut up pieces were floating in their own juice. Mrs. Bazargani and I were sup- - , .

On the other hand, the commission would have the local districts pay for the school lunch program and place the $527,741 in state school lunch funds derived from a four percent tax in the uniform on liquor school fund. Meanwhile, the two houses wrestled with the appropriations bill with hopes of cutting it to provide funds for state buildings. The House passed the bill soon after it was introduced but called it back for reconsideration after House Republicans had met with Gov. J. Bracken Lee. The record appropriation called for an expenditure of some $62,600,000 in the next two years, with more than $19,000,-00- 0 in general fund costs. Some $2,000,000 will be lopped off the University of Utah and Utah State Agricultural appropriations. A conference committee from the two houses may be eventually handed the matter, just as a conference group may also be the last to report on reapportionment. Each house has passed its own bill on the latter, but it is possible they might be reconciled since each body is of the defnite opinion that the Senate should be set up on an area basis and the House on population. The House bill is in the form of a House of 75 based on population. The Senate would provide a Senate of 25 in place of the present 23 and a House of 69 instead of 60. Inside counties of Salt Lake (cut from 7 to 6), Utah, Weber and Davis would have 11 (adding Carbon's industrial area would make it 12), while the outside counties would have the remainder. Most of the important work is yet before the Legislature, although some of the most heated debate has passed. The Sunday Closing bill went by the Boards by a single vote, that ballot being the margin in the Senate by which it sustained the governor's veto. Tremonton.
