Ramp-ton- s press secretary, will still be dealing with the public when he takes over as community relations director for the Utah Department of Transportation in January. Paul, a resident of Bountiful and a graduate of Davis High, has been Gov. Ramptons press secretary since 1973. PAUL SAYS the jobs will be similar since he will be with dealing public complaints and concerns, is- suing press releases and serving in a liaison position with the Utah State Legisla- ture. One of the duties Paul wont mind leaving behind his writing Gov. Ramptons speeches. I wont miss the screwy phone calls either, he said. But Paul says he will miss being right in the middle of whats happening. PAUL, along with other members of Gov. Ramptons administrative staff, has been capitulated into international limelight the last few weeks when Gov. Rampton issued the stay of execution in the Gary Gilmore case. The New York Times, the London Daily Express, the Kansas City Star and the Philadelphia Enquirer have all been on the phone to Paul, trying to obtain telephone interviews with the nor reads every letter that Paul writes and signs all perHe wont use a sonally. rubber stamp, Paul said. If the letter doesnt say what the governor wants it to say, I write it again. Governor. dont people realize theres nothing else the governor can do. The death penalty has been established by law. The governor cant commute that sentence but people dont know that. Paul has three filing folders full of philosophic papers written to the Governor defending or attacking the death penalty.

CLARK retire- ment account. This is called an Individual Retirement Account, or IRA. Every year, whatever you put into your IRA, so long as it is within the legal limits, is deductible on your federal income tax return. All the interest earned on your IRA is also free of tax. It is not until you retire (as early as age 59Vi) and draw on the The housewives pension, however, not become effective until Jan. 1, 1977. Therefore, it cannot be claimed on those 1976 tax returns you will shortly be filling out. Youll have to wait until 1978 in order to claim this 1977 deduction. Here is how it works: Any working person who is eigible to deduct IRA contributions, may also establish a separate IRA for his wife, if she does not work outside the home. When the worker takes advantage of this, his ceiling on contributions is raised to $1,750, instead of this years maximum funds that they start to become taxable. You will probably be in a lower tax bracket by that time. could be people-th- ey barbers, doctors, comer grocers, to or lawyers, architects, plumbers name a few have a similar opportunity.

The worker has two choices: He can put the $1,750 in a single account which has a subaccount for his wife. Or, he can open two separate accounts of up to $875 each. Remember, though, that this is possible only if the worker is eligible for an IRA, meaning that he is not covered by another pension plan. And remember that this plan in no way affects Social Security checks that the worker and his spouse will draw at retirement ages. One more thing. The new Tax Act and the Internal Revenue people carefully avoid the terms husband and wife. Rather, the language refers to the working individual and the spouse of the working individual. This way, in some situations where the woman is the breadwinner and the man is the homemaker, the man can start building a pension plan provided for his services within the home.

The first class is against the death penalty. the wild horse and burrow bill and the fluoridation issue. Paul said when Bob Salter, a local communicaster, told citizens opposed to fluoridation to call the Governor, The phones really began to light up on that one. Although the governor hasnt had time to answer the mail on the Gilmore case, in most instances each letter receives a reply. The Gover the that come into the Governors office dont make any sense. Some are obscene and some are unsigned. The phone calls can get ugly, Paul says. I cut the caller short if he argues. Sometimes if they get belligerent, I get belligerent Paul says. Then sometimes the Governor speaks off the cuff and doesnt use the one speeches. Paul told of in occasion when he slipped the back door to hear the Governor deliver one of his speeches. HE ARRIVED just in time to hear Gov. Rampton say, This is a good speech but it doesn't say what I want to say, I wont use it. If the Governor has time to read the speech and make changes he does. If not, he just reads them as Paul writes them. Paul remembers with distaste the time last spring when he wrote five commencement addresses in one week. Much research went into the speeches and all were different he said. Sometimes the Governor gave part of the speech and then delivered the rest off the cuff. DEALING with the print and broadcast media is another of Pauls responsibilities. Sometimes Im accused of intrigue or again Im the fall guy. After the Governor issued Gilmores stay of execution, he didnt want to elaborate. Boston and Atlanta papers tried to get Governor Rampton to say something more over the telephone. I was the one who had to tell them no. Barbara Grossman on Channel Two News was upset because Paul couldnt get her an interview with the Governor after the stay was issued.
