SAN fate of several Northern California rivers will be reviewed by a federal appeals court. The 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals Monday refused a government request to throw the case out of court. Instead, it said it would hear arguments from environmentalists who want federal protection for the American, Smith, Klamath, Eel and Trinity Rivers. Through government attorneys, the U.S. Department of the Interior had asked the court to dismiss an appeal by the Environmental Defense Fund and uphold a lower court order which lifted the protected status of the rivers. The EDF appealed a March 22 order of U.S. District Judge William A. Ingram who ruled former Interior Secretary Cecil Andrus did not have the power to grant protected status to the rivers one day before leaving office. The protected designation was requested by former Gov. Ed' mund G. Brown Jr. for the Lower American, Smith, Klamath, Eel and Trinity rivers. Andrus granted the protection on the last day of the administration of President was then disciplined three months ago following a separate incident.

Granite Principals Deny Coercion MURRAY, Utah (UPI) - The Granite Education Associaton claims some Granite District principals are using threats to get teachers to sign contracts, but a spokeswoman for Utah's largest school district denies the accusation. "We have received information from teachers who say their principals told them that unless they sign contracts, they may be transferred to other facilities," GEA President Eldon Tolman said Monday. District spokeswoman Patricia Gurr said teachers who do not sign contracts by the end of the week may be transferred to new schools next fall. Mrs. Gurr said principals have been assigned to explain that possibility to teachers, but she said the district does not believe an explanation of the transfer possibility is a threat.

The weather-relate- d problems had stabilized Monday, but Salt Lake County again had a "State Street River" and residents in northern Utah dug mud and debris from basements and yards. National Weather Service forecasters provided the good news Monday. They said fair weather was expected through the end of the week. Heavy runoff forced the creation of a routing "river" on another State Street, this time in Sandy, nine miles south of Salt Lake City. The river ran through sandbag banks down the northbound lanes for six blocks. Sandy Mayor Larry Smith predicted that because of snows in the nearby mountains the new State Street River would run - Page THE HERALD, Provo, Utah, 1983 nv, ;w v, tii 3 GANDHLe j U fMllklir-- II II I f VMUXIMMATTMAU RNMWUMI Is rj BtOO nisMty mi 175 NORTH 2ND WEST V II TUESDAY ALL M SEATS $1.00 BURT REYNOLDS THE SURVIVORS DAILY: DAILY: 1:00-3:0- B 0 5t00.7t00-9.t- 5 SB) 2:00 4:30-740-9:- 30 wait till you see CXfATKLISS 1.15-5.30-9.- 43 -S- iCCSJUATWI- ILUITKUIR 1:11-7:3- ?SE CENTER STRCE MAM-W- 1 I! 0 Tr 15 .A. 7:15-9:3- 0 ) |
