According to C o u n t y offi Votes Abortion Hearings WASHINGTON Congressman Gunn McKay today asked the House Judiciary Committee to conduct hearings on proposed abortion legislation. "Currently before Congress, there are 48 different bills dealing with some aspect of abortion control, McKay said.

Use Plan Extended Forest WASHINGTON-T- he Service has extended the time Umit for public review of a proposed land use plan in American Fork Canyon and the Provo Peak Area, said Congressman Gunn McKay to-da-y. - The preliminary plan originally proposed by the Forest pubService allowed a lic review, ending June 30, 1973. This date has been extended to September 30 of this year. In addition, McKay said, there wiH be pubUc review of both the draft and the final Forest Service proposals for the 30-d- ay have received a heavy volume of mail protesting the limited public scrutiny of this plan, which many felt was rammed through with very little public involvement and a review period too short for serious investigation," said. "The Forest Kay vice is Mc- Ser- anyone toavery strict proposal wMch would prohibit anxious to have public abortions in all but the most extreme instances. The Supreme Court ruling on abortion, McKay explained, held that an abortion was a matter between a woman and her doctor, and a state could not establish laws proMbiting this practice. In order to alter tins ruling, the Constitution must be amended to change the law. "I feel a state should have the right todetermine what its policy will be, McKay said. "Under the current Supreme Court ruling, tills is impossible. There are so many legislative alternatives that a comprehensive study by the appropriate camping, trailers, trail bikes and snowmobiles wouH be restricted under the Forest Service proposal. "The public should be encouraged to make their feelings known on this proposal, Rep. McKay said. "Forest Service policies should reflect the best use of the land by the public, and the agency needs to know where the local people stand. I hope those interested in this area will give their views to the Forest Service. In Provo, McKay said, anyone interested could make Ms opinion known to the Forest Supervisor, located in the Forest Service office of the Provo Federal Building.

The land-us- e plan which has been proposed for the area would extend wilderness area restrictions to parts of American Fork Canyon and the Provo Peak area. Overnight cials, the need for a new Courthouse has become increasingly apparent and increasingly acute during recent years as the volume of county business and records increases.

That question prompts review of certain facts. When the issue was voted on a little over a year ago, it appeared that the County residents would be required to pay off the bonds through a Mke in property taxes. Now, it appears that federal revenue sharing money will be sufficient to redeem the bonds over a five-yeperiod without any tax increase. TMs one fact is certainly sufficient justification for the Commission to ask for the voters to ar awareness of the need for the In 1967, the new facility. bond issue was defeated by a three to one margin. Last year, it lost by only a fraction of one percent. During the intervening year, activity within the County, particularly in the land area, wMch directly affects almost all County offices, has greatly increased, MCKAY A second important fact is that the last election indicated a greatly increased public OGDEN, UTAH - Although a relatively new sport, in comparison to others in high school students participate, Mgh school rodeo is growing by leaps and bounds and today involves nearly 8,000 boys and girls in 26 states and two Canadian provinces.

Their sport drew 321,900 spectators. new building, they should certainly not be concerned that they have voted on it on two prior occasions. Fourth, wMle approval in earlier elections would have resulted in savings in building costs, the revenue sharing money provides an unusual opportunity to construct and pay for the needed facility in a short time without a tax increase. Fifth, if the revenue sharing money is used for regular County services, it will build a reliance on this money so that if it is not reenacted at the end of the five-yeperiod the County would find itself in a situation wMch would require a significant mill levy increase. The SUN, therefore, joins with County officials in urging citizens to vote in Tuesar days bond election.

TMrdly, it is fallacious to assume that sometMng defeated twice should not be brought up a tiiird time when County officials believe that it is in the best interest of the people they represent.

The President imposed the freeze to keep beef prices down, The McKay said. result has been a virtual disappearance of beef from the market. Its a highly emotional and unstable situation, and the shortage of beef is causing the price of poultiy and other meat products to rise. The freeze on beef prices has had immediate impact on the meat packing industry, McKay said. Already, smaller plants are closed and thousands of employees have been laid off. Beef shortages are developing throughout the nation, worried consumers are buying the remaiMng beef in quantity and freezing It, and beef already has disappeared from supermarket shelves in some parts of the country. The beef freeze also has created a crisis in the cattle industry, said. McKay "Producers cannot raise the price of beef, even though their costs for feed grains and other products necessary to raise cattle are rocketing. The cattle futures market is in chaos, black markets are developing, and cattle are being sMpped to Canada and Japan to the markets there. McKay said the beef freeze also is hurting the consumer. As beef becomes scarce, prices for other meat products become artificially Mgh. "I tMnk tMs is a serious problem wMch the President can immediately resolve," McKay said. "If he insists on waiting until September 12 to lift the freeze, I feel the beef industry could be permanently damaged and the consumer will end up bearing the cost.
