Moss, state interests. Rampton said the only hard news out of that meeting is that Hathaway "won't be able to come fishing with us on Flaming Gorge Reservoir this month. ' The former Wyomimg governor, the Ramptons and Colorado Gov. John Love had gone Ogling in Utah a year Pgo and had hoped to repeat the outing, Rampton said. Deseret News Wishirgton Bureau iiASTGTOhi Gov. Ca I'du L Rampton met here Monday with officials of the Departments of Transporta,, tion and Interior to discuss Utah problems. The governor said afterwards he had received "some understanding" but no promises,. I Rampton saw Deputy Transportation Secretary John W. Barnum to discuss the threatened cutoff of $7 million in federal highway funds because Utah's motorcycle ' helmet law does not meet federal regulations. Barnum listened, Ramptort told the Deseret News, but offered no promises to change the ruling. The governor said he based his request for waiver on the helmet law on the state's "excellent': safety program, which, he said, is "most successful" in reducing fatalities. "I think we deserve credit for that as an offset against the helmet problem," the governor added, He noted that the rule on helmets is a regulation, not a part of the law. The governor said he secs little hope of getting the Utah Legislature to strengthen the local law nor of Congress to direct that the regulation be softened. He holds hope, he said, that during the appeal process, the state might get relief through the depart-fl- u nt Ii 4 the Senate. The governor was in Washington to be briefed by President Ford on the new highway financing bill proposed by the White House.

This is less confusing than placing fire restrictions on one small area, then another, as fire danger increases in various places, he said. But the fire danger is high only in the Provo area, he said, since junegrass is still green in much of the rest of the state. However, it is expected fire danger will be high in the remaining restricted area within a week or two, St John Said. , nearly-balance- bt company's business costs. as hearings He was continued before the Utah Public Service Commission. Fjelsted Fjelsted said energy costs and 0 V ernment spending may combine to drive inflation toward that level during the last mouths of this year. Testifying Monday, John Crawford Jr..

Blaine Davis explored with Crawford the implications of "equitizing" the company's nonutility oil cross-examin- improved campgrounds, picnic areas or living places; Smoking, except in living places or an improved recreation site, or in enclosed vehicles, on a boat or paved road, or while wading or at a place "where at least an spot has been acraped to mineral soil" for depositing ashes and putting out smoking material and matches. Under Utah and federal law, breaking the restriction isa misdemeanor. The restriction will be in effect until rescinded. The order was issued July 3. Wasatch National Forest Supervisor Chandler St. John explained that such orders always apply to the entire oper at ionsa possibility the utility doesn't , favor. Mountain Fuel's utility and subsidiary d operations presently have a equity-decapital structure which remains a "prime objective" of the company, To equitize the oil division by composing a capital structure entirely of equity would reduce the utility's revenue requirements. Crawford said in such a case the company would be forced to center its exploration to $4.2 million this activitiesrunning . new a apart from the division yeareem utility. The exploration expense would be eliminated from the rate structure, but new gas would came t3 the utility at the higher field price from the new subsidiary. Crawford said the company's diversification into operations has the advantage of attracting investors and adding stability to the company. Utility earnings alone have not been adequate to do this, he University of Utah economist today tied inflation predictions to Mountain Fuel Supply Co.' $13.2 million rate increase request s non-utili- ty i said, Davis asked Crawford if ratepayers "profit" by the company's oil operations. He said they do not, but -- they do benefit through the lower cost of capital to the company." He said the oil operation has paid its "fair share" since its inception in 1935 by helping to pay off company debt . and security interest. Crawford said Mountain Fuel's rate of return on invested capital is "not adequate." He gave two reasons why the company did not ask for an increase in its rate of return in the current rate request: Rate relief is increased costs: : and a rate increase is necessary now 'when it would be meaningful to us." Crawford said the company intends to issue $25 million in longterm debt in weeks to help fund a 1975 capital budget for utility plant of $40 million. Newspaper Agency Corp: will discontinue purchasing used newsprint at the Travel requests denied Twelve requests for out-o- state travel were denied today by the State Board of Examiners because they failed to meet legislative criteria for approval, The requests involved meetings and training ses- sions with organizations not listed by state departments with the Legislature. In denying the requests, Utah Atty. Gen. Vernon B. Romney suggested that the enacted in the past session, "needs to be looked at " We have no government-sponsore- prog- d rams. Dr. Lyman Olsen, state director of health, whose department was denied a travel claim, objected and said that it is impossible for department heads to anticipate 18 months in advance, which personnel would be involved in jects. Many trainMg semina r s and organizational meetings are not planned that far ahead, he said Dr. Walter E.

The court continued with- - message to Congress this morning in a Rose Garden ceremony, with Rampton standing by 'We didn't !let much chance to add anything to the bill," Rampton said. "We were just window dressing for the President, but it was good to be able to discuss our Mghway problem with Ford." The governor was less enthusiastic abo'it his meeting with Transportation Secretary William Coleman. He said Coleman's proposal to shift half the highway trust fund income to the general fund and then to appropriate highway money directly from the treasury is a "poor idea." He pletlicted that the bookkeeping change would have tn be abandoned if the bill is to have a chance of passage. The key points in the proposal would give the states one cent of the present federal gasoline tax and allow federal Interstate funds to be spent on maintenance, Coleman said the President told them he does not want "the interstate system to go the way of the American railroads," and plans to see that upkeep funds are provided by the federal government. In the meeting, Rampton explained, Hathaway said he would move as fast as he could on a decision on the Kaiparowits Power Project. The three of tourist men also discussed the proposed pliase-ou- t accommodations at Bryce and Zion national parks, and the Ute Indian challenge to the Central Utah Water made no promises about either Project (CUP).

"The Indians' rights will be protected," Rambiton said. "They shouldn't have any question about it, we're guarantees that their water going to give them iron-cla- d will be there." Asked about his own political future, Rampton said he has not decided whether to run for reelection next to year.
