"Congress, especially the House of Representatives, Is a representative body, he said. "When Congress appears to be confused and indecisive, it is because there is no consensus among the people. He noted there was a lack of consensus among the people regarding the need to send a satellite into orbit, until the public was shocked by the Russian Sputnik. Then the Congress quickly responded to the public will to place a man on the moon and it was done, he said. The congressman regards the Congressional Budgeting Act as the most important single recent accomplishment of Congress. "If it works, that is, will come this year. he said, "and the real test The main difficulty in meeting President Fords demand for a $28 billion cut in projected spending growth is that the bulk of it must come from either social programs or military appropriations, McKay explained. He noted that only $18 billion would be saved if Congress completely wiped out the functions which come under the committees on which he serves. These are the Interior Department, military construction and the District of Columbia. The difficulty in reaching a consensus on spending cuts is illustrated by his conversation with two Geneva Steel workers, McKay related. One, who was near retirement, asked when Congress was going to raise Social Security benefits. The other, a younger man with many years to work before retirement, complained bitterly abouyt Social Security deductions from his paycheck. Regarding his personal political plans, McKay said he will make no decision on running for governor until Gov. Calvin L. Rampton decides whether to seek a fourth term. Salt Lake County should provide medical care for all persons in custody, including those housed in its Court Services Residential Facility, the County Commission was told today. Failure to do so may subject the county to potential liability, according to Stan Stevenson, Court Services director. He asked the commission to clarify a medical services policy for the facility, since County Jail inmates are provided medical services by the county. Stevenson said the City County Health Department presently will not authorize medical payments unless it can be proved that a resident of the facility is medically indigent. Stevenson said inmates of residential facilities should be given equal consideration for medical services. The director said the facility's present budget allows only $3,000 tor medical expenses. County commissioners referred the matter to the Office for study and recommendations. In other business, the commissioners agreed to meet Tuesday with County Purchasing Department representatives to look into the purchase of voting machines. County-Attorney- s motorist struck and kitied by train Saturday in Salt Lake County may have sacrificed his own life to save three small children he was towing on a sled. A "I think he saw us and didn't want to pull the kids (on the sled) onto the rails, and just took it himself," the trains engineer said. "Thats the way it appeared to me, said Engineer E. J. Bawden. It was the second of two fatal accidents involving the train that day as it traveled from Orem to a string of seven Salt Lake City diesel locomotives trailed by a caboose. The Shaken engineer, a veteran of 34 years with the railroad, said his train had been involved with fatal accidents before, but never twice on the same trip. There are 245 highway crossings for the train between Orem l and Salt Lake City, but it is to have two accidents on the same run, said Union Pacific spokesman Clarence Rockwell. Prior to the second tragedy, the train had been traveling north near Merchant Street and 1st North in American Fork when a car driven by Kiera Lewis Newbury, 26, Springville, arrived at the crossing. "The car slopped wit h the front 'end on the tracks," Bawden recalled. "Then it pulled a little forward and stalled." The engineer grabbed the emergency brake, but the impact was imminent. When the tram finally stopped, the seven diesels had passed the crossing and the caboose was where the car originally stopped. "very-unusua- , Raymond Anderson, 17, and Jim Krantz, 35, uninjured in the accident, made it to the mine safely about noon Sunda., and were picked up by Kennecott employes. Nobody was hurt, just cold and hungry, said Deputy Pete Niksich, Salt Lake County Sheriffs Office. The men were members of a group that motored up Middle Canyon from Tooele Saturday night to an overlook above the mine. About midnight, Krantz and Anderson decided to head for the mine and started down a steep hill. "Once they were committed, they couldnt turn around. Niksich said. After the snowmobile crashed into a tree in a ravine, they continued downhill on "You always think theyre going to pull off. We have so many close calls," he said.

But, he is not sure what is politically possible or fair to those who feel the government is under obligation to carry out pension commitments, which sometimes result in a federal retiree qualifying for up to four pensions. "Weve been retiring people too early, McKay-tolthe Deseret News. "They retire from the military at 40 to 50 years old, then go out and get a civil service job and qualify for another pension. "It has been estimated that 25 percent of the National Guardsmen can draw four retirements, including their pensions from private employment. McKay said there are several moves afoot to consolidate and revamp the federal pension system, including some to make it even more generous. He does not know of any concrete step, however, to eliminate double-dippin- g draining two federal pensions. In a Deseret News interview, the congressman back home between congressional sessions commented on a number of other subjects. He strongly opposes current moves to broaden the federal day care program in a manner to allow middle and upper income women to shuck off their g responsibilities onto the federal government. "I oppose any move which would encourage downgrading the family home as the best place to bring up children, said the congressman. This includes situations where women seek "fulfillment through jobs and careers when they dont acutually need the money, he said. The federal government at least shouldn't foot the bill for day care of their children to enable them to do this, he said. However, there is a genuine need for day care aid for women who are the sole family earners and must hold jobs outside the home.

At 10:47 p.m., Clinton Morrill, Myton, stopped his car on the scales of the checking station, rushed into the building and reported that his wife, Debbie, was in labor in the back seat of the car, Hurrying outside, Keller quickly decided that Mrs. Morrill could never reach Prices Carbon Hospital in time. He delivered a long baby boy at 10:51 p.m. (The babys weight was not determined at the checking station scale). Mother, baby and happy father were taken to the hospital, where the former two were admitted and are reported doing fine. It was the second delivery for the trooper.
