SALT LAKE CITY (AP) Norm Bangerter has called on the White House and Congress to quickly settle the national budget crisis and forego a threatened furlough of federal employees. The governor acknowledged that g measures directed any at federal employees would be hard on Utah, which counts on Hill Air Force Base, Tooele Army Depot and Dugway Proving Ground for thousands of jobs. "There would be a great imcost-cuttin- pact," Bangerter said at his monthly news conference Thursday. "We'll just have to accept it and deal with it when it comes." The governor chided both President Bush and lawmakers for not reaching a compromise that will both reduce the deficit and meeting the nation's needs. "I don't think either one of them have come up with a plan to deal with the federal budget," Bangerter said, adding that while he supported Bush's holding Congress accountable for fiscal responsibility, the president "has to add something, too." The governor said it was unlikely the state would have the resources to offer special aid if federal workers are forced to take unpaid leaves. "I don't think we're in a position to pick up the federal tab," he - gradual, week-lon- g - "This interview with the press by plaintiff's counsel was a material breach of the settlement agree- claimed she was demoted from legal secretary to file clerk after refusing to engage in group sex with McAlister and another female corrections employee.

"You probably are going to take care of these folks one way or the other," Yancey said, saying welfare and other government-funde- d assistance programs are often the only other places uninsurable Utahns have to turn to for help. Utahns misunderstand gangs SALT LAKE CITY (AP) -Among misconceptions about local gangs is that their members live only on the west side of the Salt Lake Valley, are all from minorities, and are major players in the drug trade, an expert says. "People have to stop thinking side this is just a Hispanic-weproblem," said Carlos A. Jimenez, Salt Lake Community College director of human rights. Jimenez said the Salt Lake area has a gang problem, but it is not isolated to one section of the valley. White middle-clas- s and upper-clasyouths also are st fast-growi- s involved in gangs, he said. In comparison to Los Angeles and Denver, Salt Lake's gang involvement is small. Only about 1 percent to 3 percent are hard-cor- e gang members, he said. Nonetheless, gang involvement is growing and will be impossible to combat if not stopped soon, Jimenez said. He said his research found that many of Utah gang members come from a single-parehome, have uneducated parents who use alcohol or drugs, are high school dropouts and possibly use drugs and alcohol themselves. fi With a cellular mobile phone from USWEST Cellular, you're always near a phone.
