The miners streamed into Bucharest on Thursday, after Iliescu called for their help in countering what he called "facist" forces. The miners beat pedestrians and journalists and raided the offices of opposition parties. The state news agency Rompres said Iliescu met with the miners' leaders today and ordered them to leave the capital, and that miners began boarding buses for Bucharest's northern railway station. From there, they were to return on special trains to their homes in the Jiu valley mining region of western Romania. But an hour after the announcement, miners were still roaming central Bucharest.

Orem's day-car- - WASHINGTON (AP) Falling vegetable and fuel oil prices in May held consumer inflation to a modest 0.2 percent for the second consecutive month, the government said today. For the first five months of the year, the Labor Department's Consumer Price Index has advanced at an annual rate of 5.8 percent. That's up significantly from the 4.6 rate for all of last year, but down sharply from the worrisome 8.5 percent rate in the first quarter. The good news was expected by most economists, who said prices are recovering from a cold weather jolt at the beginning of the year. "Just as first quarter inflation was overstated, inflation (in April and May) was understated," said economist Michael K. Evans, a e consultant. Washington-base- d "We're almost sure price increases are going to get bigger again next month." In other economic news, the Commerce Department said the U.S. trade deficit shrank dramatically to $6.94 billion in April, the second lowest level in the past six years. 3 Many analysts are now forecasting 1990 deficit will drop below $100 billion for the first time since that the 1983. According to the Federal serve, industrial production By KAYLENE N ELS EN Herald Senior Reporter SALT LAKE CITY A Geneva official urged the governor to consider a "five-poiblueprint for the environment" during a hearing on economic development conducted at the University of Utah law school Thursday morning. Dick Clayton, vice president of environmental services at Geneva Steel, presented five points that include promoting public and private cooperation and sharing the burden. He said Geneva was a good example of the public and private sectors cooperating since that is how the plant was able to reopen after USX closed it down.

An earlier estimate by the central bank had showed production falling in April. The operating rate of the nation's factories, mines and utilities rose 0.3 percentage point to 83.6 percent in May. Today's mild inflation report, which was anticipated, and the strong industrial production report, a surprise, combined to push bond prices lower in early trading this morning. Traders took the reports as a sign that inflation has not yet moderated enough nor the economy weakened sufficiently to cause the Federal Reserve Board to relax its tight monetary policy and allow short-terinterest rates to fall. The Labor Department said price of fruit and vegetables fell 2.4 percent, the third substantial drop in a row. m Consumer Price Index Percent ttiange horn prior month C- SALT LAKE CITY 6- - An Air Commission increasing the penalties to industries failing to comply with emissions standards.

Currently, penalties assessed to those in violation of state or federal air quality standards range from $299 for minor violations, to $10,000 per day for violations posing a potentially h'gh impact on public health and the environment.

She would not elaborate. "This is a death of democracy," said opposition leader Ion Ratiu, whose home was ransacked by maurauding miners. "(It's) the rule of the mob, no respect for human rights. The forces of law and order stand by instead of maintaining law and order." Following the December revolution that ousted the hard-lin- e Communist government and set up elections that Iliescu and his National Salvation Front won, Ratiu returned to Romania after 50 years in exile.

Federal deficit Every candidate except Harrington said the federal deficit was the issue mentioned most to them. "About 75 percent of the people I've talked with mentioned the federal deficit," said Bristow. The long-tersolution is a balanced budget amendment to the U.S. Constitution, he said. He said congressman must also talk about ways to reduce spending and must give up petty porkbarrel projects. Densley said the deficit amounts to every man, woman owing a $12,000 debt. He said he favors a balanced budget amendment.

Republican opponents conceded they could not bill and did defeat the House-passenot seek a recorded vote. At the WTiite House, Bush was asked this morning during a photo ar d session whether he would veto the legislation as the White House had threatened. Bush did not reply, but his press secretary, Marlin Fitzwater, said, "Yes," when asked the same question as reporters filed out of the photo session with Paraguay s President Andres Rodriguez.

He quoted Bush as saying: "We also need to ensure that women don't have to worry about getting their jobs back after having a child or caring for a child after a serious illnpss." "It's Ume to see if President Bush advocates the same policies as president as he did on the campaign truil when he sought the in 1988," said Mitchell, E residency Maine. Sen.
