Dr. Jack Kevorkian has assisted in suicide No. 32, attending the death of a California woman w ith cancer, his lawyer said today. . The death of Shirley Kline of Oceanside, Calif., was the fourth Kevorkian has attended since his May 14 acquittal on assisted suicide charges. Attorney Geoffrey Fieger said Kline had bowel cancer that had spread to her kidneys, liver and other organs and "'was in terrible pain." Two people brought the woman to William Beaumont Hospital in Royal Oak shortly after midnight, spokeswoman Yvette Monet said.

Dumas was injured in last week's bomb attack at DAQ: (Continued from Page Al) allow another study to measure the fuel's effects on pollution levels. The DAQ and Geneva Steel conducted joint studies over the last two winters to determine if the fuel reduced carbon monoxide levels and affected particulate levels. The studies involved discontinuing the fuel's use in midwinter in order to observe environmental conditions without the fuel's effects. Critics claim oxygenated fuel increases particulate levels by generating more nitrogen oxide in the car's exhaust. Nitrogen oxide combines with other pollutants to form particulates. Commission Chairman Jerry D. Grover said he did not think the .4 percent change in oxygen content would make any difference in the carbon monoxide levels, but it could push the area over the limit for PMIO. "This winter, we skirted the for standard" PMIO, Grovei argued. "If we maintain 2.7 percent, we may be able to meet both standards." The state will be able to petition the EPA to classify the county as meeting the standards for both pollutants at the end of this year if the standards are maintained. If Provo were to be found in violation of the carbon monoxide standard, the EPA would only require enhanced emissions testing and oxygenated fuel methods already in the carbon monoxide m plan. But. a PMIO violation would result in additional controls, such as lowering speed limits and requiring businesses to reduce more pollution than is produced at the site. Steve Christiansen, an environmental lawyer representing Geneva Steel, said if the board agrees to and Air Force living quarters in Dhahran.

"We have very little margin of error in Utah County," he said. Scott Lee, an environmental engineer with the EPA's Air Program, said cars only account for 20 percent of the nitrogen oxide emissions, and gasoline engines make up half that group. Oxygenated fuel only raises the nitrogen oxide emissions by 3 percent. "We are talking about something that is almost noise," Lee said. Russell A. DAQ Director Roberts said there is no conclusive evidence that oxygenated fuel significantly increases PM10 levels. The state's last two tests came back inconclusive, due in part to mild weather, which is not conducive to the thermal inversions that cause PM10 violations. "If we (Jan't do it right and get a statistically valid study, we ought to live with that and move on," Roberts said. He said the DAQ may not have the resources to conduct another study. Neil A. Moyer, air quality programs project manager for Texaco Inc., said the contingency plan would penalize his and other companies that do not use grain alcohol in oxygenated fuel. Texaco and Amoco both use MTBE, a petroleum-base- d oxygenating substance. That material can only be mixed in proportions that produce 2.7 percent oxygen content. By comparison, grain alcohol can be added in concentrations up to 3.5 percent oxygen. The rule would force MTBE retailers out of the Utah County market or into jcostly arrangements to buy pollution" reduction credits from grain alcohol blenders. Also, motorists will be penalized because the price of grain alcohol additive is up to $1.50 a gallon due to the scarcity of corn. Moyer said farmers are finding it more profitable to sell their grain for food or sweetener instead of fuel. That added cost would most likely be passed on at the pump. Moyer said the contingency measure is unenforceable because the EPA has not approved the state plan. "I don't know why the EPA is concerned with the state meeting its obligations when it cannot meet its obligation," Moyer said, pointing out that the deadline for implementing the plan was Dec. 31. 2-- full-blo- (Continued from Page A 1 ) ing 747.

Roberts said the EPA has not taken action in order to give the County Commission the latitude it needs to prove its case against enhanced emissions testing.
