Spc. Michael New, 22, was the first American serviceman for refusing to wear U.N. insignia on his uniform or to accept foreign command on a United Nations operation. The jury found him guilty of disobeying a lawful order, and he was discharged from the army for bad conduct. New, of Conroe, Texas, stood impassively as the foreman of the seven-ma- n jury read the verdict after a day of testimony and a morning of closing arguments in the cramped courtroom. After the verdict was read, the at the Leighton Barracks U.S. Army Base took a break, and New posed for a photograph with two medics who testified in his defense.

Following the president's speech, members of the Republican party crit- d icized Clinton for taking a speaking approach while still governing from the left. From DAILY HERALD STAFF and Wire Reports It was just like last WASHINGTON all over again. Rep. Bill Orton year defended President Clinton's remarks in his State of the Union speech. Sen. Bob Bennett enjoyed the president's endorsement of Republican themes. And Sen. Orrin Hatch was critical. That same breakdown also resulted after Clinton's 1995 address, during which the president for the first time explicitly demanded a smaller government while elevating personal responsibility to a level of importance rarely seen among Democrats. The speech Tuesday followed suit, proclaiming that the end of "big government" is upon us while imploring individual Americans to take control of national problems in their own neighborhoods, schools and civic associations. '"I think it was very long on rhetoric," Sen. Orrin Hatch said after the speech. He said the president proposed more spending and more taxing, with real cuts not to come until after the year 2000. He said Clinton originally .had promised to balance the budget in five years and had promised to reform welfare middle-of-the-roa- (See UTAH, Page A2) Abortion bill sponsor wants women to get counsel, view video icron 4 of its 5 -building -- ; mired reform .lip-of- f. ; Utah's GOP lawmakers say Clinton .. 91 POOR JL iwTtnTt hSQiSlSlUIS tfikmmik Related stories, Pages A2, B1,B2&B3 cQ ed U.N. insignia.

The elder New said that when his son was told he could be and lose his benefits for to refusing wear the U.N. gear, his son replied: "If I have to go to prison, I'll go, and why would I want those benefits if I have them in a country that isn't free?'" Suzanne New, New's mother, went to Germany to plead for clemency for her son.
