The plan would raise the federal gasoline tax from 9 cents per gallon to 18.5 cents, raising $43 billion over five years. The committee was considering the provisions behind closed doors. A congressional official provided information about the plan on condition that he not be named. Two committee members said they believed the committee would approve the plan. "I think we'll have something," said Sen. Bob Pack wood, senior Republican on the committee, took a break for a floor vote. "I think we'll be there," said Sen.

Clark Ashton, general manager of New London Railroad and Village Inc., which owns the train, said the company negotiated last February to sell the terminal grounds and rolling stock assets to the state for 1,269,000, their appraised value. "The state has basically changed its position and desires to acquire the entire business, which includes all of our inventories, all of our food and beverages, all of our vehicles, tools and equipment at the same price we were agreeing to sell our appraised assets for," Ashton explained. "We hand them the keys and we walk out." But he said the company's accountants and lawyers said if the company were to agree to the offer, it "would essentially be broke."

The actual ending balance of his disclosure report's balance was listed incorrectly. It called for the balance to be corrected. It also stated that totals of individual campaign expenditures and contributions listed did not match totals Snow staff members had listed. Corrections here were also asked for. In his letter, Oveson also asked report any loan payments or payments of other accounts made after the report was filed. But Snow campaign manager Clark Caras said Friday Snow 's doesn't have to comply with request for information on matters after the required July 10, 1984, report. Clark said Snow lost his bid to be governor at the June 1984 GOP convention, so he was not required to file three other state disclosure statements that were due Oct. 10, five days after the general election and Dec. 10. After Snow's loss, he joined the Dan Marriott gubernatorial ticket as a candidate for lieutenant governor. Marriott and Snow subsequently lost in the GOP primary to Gov. Norm Bangerter and Oveson.

U.N. Security Council agrees on resolution - The UNITED NATIONS (AP) Security Council voted unanimously Friday to condemn Israel's security forces for killing 19 Palestinian demonstrators and asked for a U.N. investigation into the deaths. The U.S. vote in favor of the resolution was a rare departure from the usual American practice of defending Israel from censure in the council. After five days of arduous bargaining, America and the nations on the council agreed on the compromise resolution, thus avoiding a U.S. ald veto of a harsher ternative resolution denouncing Israel.

Oveson late Thursday and immediately called Oveson. Oveson reportedly told Snow that he did not have to report some campaign financial transactions that occurred after the final disclo- sure deadline of Dec. 10, 1984. Contacted Friday, Oveson confirmed Caras's contention. He said he believes state law could authorize him to demand amendments on transactions made before Dec. 10, 1984, but not after that final campaign reporting date. Oveson had been made aware of the errors in Snow's reports by The Daily Herald. The situation involving Snow's inaccurate 1984 campaign disclosure has led Oveson to consider changing the format of campaign disclosure statements and possible moving to change state disclosure law, Oveson said.
