SALT LAKE. For the second time in two months, a Planned Parenthood organization has failed to muster support for a federal grant request.

Philosophical opposition to Planned Parenthood, rather than objections to the proposed use of the funds, apparently influenced COG members to vote against endorsing the grant application. That action seemed to contradict a decision made just minutes earlier to vote on grant requests solely on their practical application, without regard for philosophical or political opinions about the issue. COG had just approved Sandy Mayor Paul Thompsons motion that grant applications be judged entirely on their conformity with existing programs when the Planned Parenthood issue was discussed. Although Thompson has expressed personal opposition to Planned Parenthood, he questioned how COG members could vote against the groups request when it did not duplicate any existing programs and had the support of local health officials. A letter from Dr. Harry Gibbons, y director of the Health Department, urged COG to endorse the grant application. Gibbons noted that the Planned Parenthood service was a necessary supplement to his departments family training program. Among those receiving training would be y several nurses in the department, the letter said. Rocky Mountain project director Bob Smith said the training program was the best source to help nurses and Outreach workers, but Planned Parenthood opponents Judy Wilkins and Susan Roylance asked COG members to be cognizant of community feelings against the private family planning group. Casting votes endorsing the request were County Commissioner William Hutchinson, Salt Lake City Mayor Ted Wilson and Thompson. COG rules allow Salt Lake Citys on INVITATION . . . Council of Governments were invited to tour the areas being developed for the Central Utah Water Proect by Lynn Ludlow. two Voting against the request were Murray Mayor LaRell Muir, South Salt Lake Mayor Jim Davis, County Commissioner Bob Salter, and the mayors of West Jordan, Bluffdale and Midvale. Davis defended his negative vote, pointing out that COG took a political stance against Planned Parenthood at its April meeting He suggested that alternative training programs operated by an organization less controversial than Planned Parenthood would be more acceptable. In April, COG voted amid much confusion not to endorse a grant request by Planned Parenthood of Utah Funds were sought to supplement the family planning programs operated by state and local governments. Like the application by Rocky Parenthood, which is based in Denver, the Utah organizations bid had the backing of the Health Department. In both cases, however, COGs reluctance to offer endorsements does not prevent the federal government from approving the requests. COG members also received an invitation from Lynn Ludlow to tour facilities being constructed for the Central Utah Water Project. The tour would include visits to Strawberry Reservoir and the proposed Jordanelle Reservoir. City-Count- y members the board votes. Mountain Planned City-Count- city-count- representative |
