The member, who resigned a year ago in Novem- ber amid con- mounting troversy over ethnic in taking over stewardship of America s lands and trying to restore America's greatness by returning its resources to the control of the common people, the Interior Secretary would be abused. "Anybody who takes a moral stand is going to be abused," he declared. Watt said the "revolution" he and Reagan had in mind had to occur within a month pe15-1- 8 riod or suffer "paralysis overt- series of the Joseph Smith Building auditorium and afterward at a fall I ' ' religious convictions, sick- 1 Watt conference, Watt repeatedly characterized the national press as liberals controlled by hard line leftists who seek a centralized government oppressive to the individual. "The national press is not interested in truth. They're interested in their agenda of centralizing the power of America to control our social and economic behavior," Watt said. The leftists masquerade as environmentalists, peace supporters and women's groups who seek to destroy sacred qualities of life in America by controlling natural resources, Watt said. The graying Wyoming native said the battle is waged over America's land and water resources. Examples of controlling tactics are wilderness bills, a phony energy crisis, and listing creatures as endangered species in order to stall development that would increase competition in the oil, gas and water marketplace, Watt said. "If you have power, you don't want to change anything," he said. "If you bought a mountain cabin last year, you don't want anyone moving into the region." Watt stated there never was an energy crisis in America, just "a crisis in a government that would not manage the lands for our people." He also said the snail darter was never an endangered species, but a "hoax" to halt needed water resource development in the West. "If you control the land and water, you control economic activity and to a major degree, social responsibility," he said. Watt said Reagan warned him ac- eventually L.

"I wanted out so badly, I could taste it," he said, later remarking, "The president didn't let me go as soon as I should've gone." He called the media "insensi- tive, intolerant and unforgiving." Watt said the 1984 presidential campaign is clearly defining the differences between conservatives and liberals, not necessarily Republicans and Democrats. Walter Mondale choosing Geral-din- e Ferraro as running mate will benefit the conservative cause, Watt predicted. He said conservatives, which he claims to be, trust people, not institutions or government. "The battle is crystalizing this year between those who want to centralize and take away the individual's dignity. ..and we who want integrity, liberty and freedom for the individual." Currently Watt is writing a book for Simon & Schuster called, Courage of A Conservative. "Reduce the power of government to reduce your lives," he urged. "Centralized, excessive government oppresses liberty. Exces- sive, abusive government stroys spiritual freedom," de- he said. Watt observed a Mondale-Fer-rar- o balloon near the podium and said, "I predict it'll pop just like their candidacy." He said he wanted to discuss what conservatives could do to make a difference in America, at which point the balloon popped. The audience cheered and ap- plauded, as it did numerous times, giving Watt a standing ovation at the conclusion of his remarks.

"In essence, this bill gives the President the authority to require a foreign government to present valid export licenses or other documentation as a condition of entry into the United States of carbon or alloy steel products," said Rob Jeppsen, a legislative assistant in Nielson's Washington D.C. office. Union, Local 2701. "I think this is a good bill," said Holdaway Thursday. "As long as the Senate doesn't gut the teethy part out, I think it has a good chance of helping us build a viable domestic industry." The measure, passed on a 285 to 134 vote, gives Reagan the legal means to enforce his Sept. 18 plan to seek voluntary foreign steel import restrictions. Voting for the measure were Utah congressmen Jim Hansen, Howard Nielson, and Dan Marriott. The bill now moves to the being given the authority he needs to enforce his original plan," said Jeppson, who indicated when the bill was presented it came as a surprize to many congressmen. "It came out of the Vys and Means Committee from ,Rosten Kowski of Illinois," he said. "The committee expects the President to take appropriate measures on steel import restrictions when called for." Nielson, a solid backer and sponsor of The Fair Trade in Steel Act, said a strong steel By NANCY BRINGHURST Herald Staff Writer help President Ronald Reagan stem flow of foreign steel imports, said Dennis Holdaway, president of U.S. Steelworkers "The President industry is vital to the nation's defense. But he expressed concern that the house bill did not go far enough in providing needed help, especially for U.S. Steel's Orem Geneva Works. Geneva officials have indicated the company has been hurt by up to a 50 percent penetration rate of foreign steel imports. Objections were raised by Nielson over two provisions of the bill. One dealt with modernization requirements and the other with a retraining program for laid-of- f steelworkers. "Nielson isn't against asking steel companies to modernize," said Jeppson. "He objects to the language of the bill which says that "all" of the profits generated by import restrictions be used on modernization." Nielson earlier this year introduced a bill entitled the "Trade Adjustment Assistance Legislation," which passed the house. is basically Jeppson said Nielson believes his bill would better serve laid-of- f steelworkers than the proposal in Wednesday's bill. "Under this new bill, the Secretary of Labor would be required to present a plan to use one percent of anticipated profits from import restrictions to help former steelworkers," said Jeppson. "Nielson thinks his bill should be utilized instead of trying to draw up a new plan. But unless he can attach his bill to another , piece of legislation by midnight Saturday, it will die with the session." Modernization of steel plants, especially at Geneva, should be a required part of the bill, said Holdaway. "They've promised in the past ' to modernize and they haven't," he said. "Geneva employees are working with some of the oldest equipment around." m TEMPLE: Miracles Do (Continued from Page 1) nephew so we tried negotiating with the parents on buying the land." Eventually a deal was made but the contract still had to be approved by a judge, who had to agree the proposal was in the best interest of the small boy. "That took another three or four months, but we finally got it," said Warnke. Another owner, a divorced woman, said she would only sell the plot if Warnke gave her 20,000 0 German marks with another marks under the table. She said she was afraid her would take it all if she sold it for 50,000 marks outright. "I explained to her that we felt that wasn't right and she got really mad and left the room," he said. "After a few weeks we Happen managed to convince her of a way she could keep all the money." The woman simply took out a mortgage on the home for 50,000 marks and Warnke paid the bank. Residents concerned about a "Mormon Temple" moving into the neighborhood attended meetings to discuss the project, said Warnke.

"Instead, we got a lot of support from the press and Catholics who said there was no reason why we couldn't build our temple in the MALPRACTICE AMD PERSONAL INJURY Call Dick Clark city." Problems still exist in finalizing the temple site, he said. 375-980- 1 PQaTramo With Purchase Of Mattress Set Good One Week Only 30,-00- Twin Set5 Year Full Set Warranty Mattress & Queen Set Foundation "TP" j FULL SIZE QUEEN SIZE BUNK BEDS i 5"FcamTwin Mattress , ''xj&&t$ Bedframe $95 ! 11 SOFA & SLEEPER Twin Full Good until Dacambar 30, 1984 Good until End ot Month I I Orthonedic Style 10 Year GuorontM 252 Coil Innarspring Mattrou and Foundation 10 Year GuorontM 252 Coil Innaripring Mulli vis & Fooodotioo "Tj Similar to Twin Illustration ng fill uTlmAA 3 Si Full ftOOO Comploto with Mattrtil St Qun St King H29 $249 $299 it I quality mdim lim tat at I lupet attonlabk (ic You'll pty much more elimtwt to mt urns quality This Main Store 305 N. 400 W.
