But while many municipalities are scrambling for protection, the state will do without. "We feel we are adequately protected by governmental immunity statutes that have been upheld by the courts which put limits on claims that can be filed against the state," said Steve Alexander, director of the State Division of Risk Management. "Based on our claims history, it would be cheaper for us to settle with money from our existing revenues than it would be to pay the increased premiums for liability insurance," Alexander said. He said Utah has been paying out about $800,000 a year in various claims filed against the state, but the insurance carrier wanted to hike the premium for umbrella liability coverage from about $400,000 to million a year. "We currently have aabout $3 million in our risk management fund to pay the basic claims and we think that because of the limits placed on what claims can be filed against the state, we can cover ourselves with our existing revenues." Alexander said. Numerous governmental agencies lost all or part of their liability insurance coverage July 1 when some companies stopped providing such policies and others sent premiums soaring. Alexander said rather than pay the increased rates, the state decided to become $1.2 self-insure- He said governmental immunity statutes specify government entities are limited to $250,000 per person, $500,000 per accident for bodily injury and $100,000 for property damage liability. that judgments against -- external tank was in four hours and topped Challenger's seven crew members were awake and making final preparations.

That enabled the economy to finish the first six months of the year with an annual wholesale inflation rate of 1.4 percent. The flat figure for June came after four consecuindex, tive months of slight increases in the over-al- l fueled mostly by higher energy costs. Meanwhile, retail sales fell a sharp 0.8 percent in June, the biggest decline in 11 months. The Commerce Department said retail sales totaled $113.9 billion in June, compared to $114.8 billion in May sales. All the figures are seasonally adjusted. With consumer spending a driving force behind the current economic recovery, the disappointing June sales performance was likely to spur fears about the durability of that recovery. Food prices, which have been falling steadily since December, were down only 0.1 percent last month because of higher prices for beef and veal and fresh fruits and vegetables. were up 0.2 percent in Wholesale prices over-al- l May and 0.3 percent in April.

Vice President George Bush could not confirm the radio report, but said in Washington in an inter"Good Morning view on ABC-TV'- s America" that U.S. officials were "somewhat optimistic" on the chances of arresting the hijackers. "There appears to be now in Lebanon, even though the government is separated, an effort to do more about securing the airport," Bush said. "I think they want to do that and to apprehend these people." Bush said that U.S. options were "very limited" regarding the three accused hijackers, but added, J' I think we could press for the extradition, trial and prosecution of these criminals and we're not at all pessimistic about being able to get that done."
