Ellis Deseret News political editor new faces, something considered to be a virtue in the current mood Efforts to recruit gubernatorial candidates other than those currently identified continued apace during the week among influential circles of both major parties. The search swept in the names of a youthful judge and an educator businessman as possible Democratic challengers to John Preston Creer for the party's nomination. The two fit into the category of fresh. g t. of the public. They are Fourth District Judge Stewart M. Hanson Jr., 37, and Raymond L. Hixson, 49, president ot Snowbird Corp. The matter of their candidacy apparently has not gone beyond the stage of name-droppin- in g closely-restricte- 7 Funds to rebuild road d party circles. Judge Hanson said the fact he is being considered was news to him, and he would need to know more about what his erstwhile supporters have in mind before he gives the matter serious consideration. Hixson could not he reached for comment. Meanwhile, a potential candidate, Donald Holbrook, dropped out of consideration, saying ' professional commitments and obligations preclude my State Transportation Commission secondary spending $125,000 in federal-aiturds to rebuild the East Canyon road damaged in a massive slide in May, 1975. The commission also authorized spending $15,000 in state hinds to construct a box culvert on the road. In a Utah Department of Transportation memorandum. Richard B. Roberts, fiscal planning and programming engineer, said he was informed the federal government would participate in rebuilding the road at the slide site. About 150 feet of the road slipped into the canyon f about lour and miles from the junction of UJ'5 and the Emigration Canyon Road. About two miles from the junction, the road was damaged again when a tree fell into the ireek and blocked a culvert running under the highway Before the tree could he removed, the flooding water undercut the road and it collapsed.

Vernon B Romney and Davis County Commissioner Stanley M Smoot for the party nomination. One of those being sought, State Sen. Karl N. Snow Jr., said he has promised a decision by next Friday.

Calvin L. Rampton to call the Utah Senate into a special session June 14 instead of June 11. June 11 is the day of the joint concert in an amphitheater currently under construction near Zion National Park. This is the first combined concert for the two famous musical organizations and is sponsored by the Utah Bicentennial Commission.

Also seriously considering the influential Republicans is Fred Ball, executive vice president of file Salt Lake Area Chamber of Commerce. Ball said that up to a week or two ago his inclinations to run for governor were zero, but "on a scale of 10, they have now moved up to eight." He has been surprised and gratified by the pledges of money and delegate support not only in Salt Lake, but in Weber and other counties, he said.
