Show Theater DESERET NEWS, FRIDAY, APRIL 2, 1976 Kleppe to visit Kaiparowits before deciding News Washington Bureau - Rampton: Is Utah still a territory? The decision-makinprocess involved in the iipproval or rejection of the Kaiparowits project may Ik an ismio as important as the decision itself, says Gov Galvin L. Hampton. "Are we really a state, or are we still a territory?" the governor wondered in .in address to the National Contract Management Association in the Ambasi sador Club, East, Thursday 115-atl- night. Through agencies like the Bureau of Land Management, the Forest Service, the National Park Service, and the military, the US government owns or controls over 70 percent of Utah's lands. Hampton said. Such bureaucratic control denies the slate the ability to plan its own economic destiny, he said. Rampton said an imjiortant goal of his three terms as governor has been to stimulate and expand Utah's industrial economy. But significant decisions impacting on the state's economy are being made by invisible federal officials, he said, people who often make those determinations with little information. "I recognize the Kaiparowits project is an issue that can result in an honest conflict of opinion, Rampton said. However, ' intuitive'' decisions made by "men without faces in faraway cities Utahs threaten sovereignty, he said. They are reducing I'tah to a colony. "Maybe it is time we in the state and others begin to not so calmly and placidly accept what is handed to us from the federal bureaucracy, the governor said. Utahs first pioneers established and maintained an agrarian system which dominated the economy through the first decades of settlement, he said. But mining interests and export of raw materials took the lead in the last quarter of the 19th Century, and the first quarter of this century. However, manufacturing industries utilizing the states raw materials did not become a major payroll factor until the full is, Rampton said. 1 To Today in the West No more m , Swede contrasts MD fees In Svuslen, the big doctor bill is the thing of the at least for the patient, according to a visiting past Swedish physician.

The physician is then paid from government funds for the remainder of his fee. with tin amount dcNndcnt on the procedure xrtormcd. The governor said he invited Kleppe to see the site in December, but the secretary had to cancel his visit at the last minute. "Tne secretary has reams and reams of reports on his desk, probably more than the human mind can absorb, Rampton told the Deseret News Thursday. "An e inspection would be valuable to his decision." In other Kaiparowits developments, the Deseret News learned that Kleppe will receive a recommendation next week from the Presidents Council on Environmental Quality. The staff of the council, which advises the Executive Branch on environmental issues and judges the adequacy of environmental impact statements (EISs), has been studying the final Kaiparowits EIS since March "Of course, we can't take as much money as we really want to,"Tcmstrom said. "But in spite of that, it is very good. Ternstrom is in Salt Lake City for the annua! general conference of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-daSaints. He said other aspects of Swedish medicine also differ radically from that in the United Stales. For instance, he said, American doctors are accustomed to admitting their patients to hospitals where the patient's private doctor continues to treat him. In Sweden, he said, when he sends a patient to the hospital, the doctors there take over care of the patient until he is discharged.

The center bustled with activity during the day and workers said the number of people using the facility appeared to be about normal. City Commissioner Clcr. N. Greener closed the center Monday because the County Recreation Department had only one worker on the job. A deeper problem, said Greener, is that the county has failed to provide adequate" programs for people who use the center. y C15-3r- upgrade housing The center reopened Thursday after County Recreation Director Gary Swensen assigned four workers to the central city facility. However. Greener said the opening would be only temporary unless the county comes up with "programs and not just people. Area residents have commented on the lack of organized programs at the center, and one man Thursday said most people just "drop in and don't have any real activities. Center Director Richard Cross said he has begun talks with county officials about recreation programs and is "optimistic" about progress. S.L. approves project to fund high -- risk loans Dunn.

The new organization will set up seminars between government, lending institutions and residents to help develop a cooperative approach to housing rehabilitation and home purchase loans in high risk areas, Oswald explained. The primary goal, he added, is to get the private sector interested in building up those areas of the city which have not been getting loans necessary to rerun ate homes and buy new to these people. ones. "1 think this is a good star! to building up some of our neighborhoods, Phillips said. "It would never work without the cooperation of all three parties, referring to the banks, residents and city. The exact details of how the Neighborhood Housing Service will operate have not been worked out, but Mayor Ted L. Wilson was scheduled to sign the contract for the program later today. Part of the problem in rehabilitating homes that do not comply with city housing codes has been the unavailability of money in such high risk areas as Central City and the downtown neighborhood, Phillips said. He indicated that if this new program w orks, loans will be made available w'ith city support. The Redevelopment Agency, in the meantime, will continue its own program of home rehabilitation assistance and neighborhood redevelopment, Phillips added. Siren calls, but where? MIDVALE "Where's the fire? some 15.000 IHsiple were wondering Thursday night when this town's quiet was shattered by an emergency siren that droned on and on, and on. Actually, there was no fire. The mournful signal was stuck. The sirens behind the Midvale police station and at Midvale Junior High School routinely went on at 10 p.m. to alert the populace to the curfew. But the siren at the school didn't turn oil'. Dispatcher Mike Stevens quickly dialed the telephone company, and the sound was muffled after about four minutes. Minutes later, however, it went back on. And despite all efforts to quell it, the rising and falling sound of the siren continued to shatter the nerves of nearby residents for another 10 minutes before it could lx disconnected. The police chief, officers and many of Midvale's volunteer fire lighters called Stevens to ask. Wheres the fire, because they had not been alerted via a special telephone hookup. By Nick Snow Deseret News staff writer Thirty years is long enough, Fred W. Sloat says. He wants his World War II hack pay. "It's mine, and I've got it coming. I dont think tiie federal government should be able to say, We don't have to pay you. Its a matter of principle, Sloat, manager oi the l Motel, 1081 S. State St., explained today. Sloat and his attorney, Steve Lowe, have taken the veteran's ease to Sen. whose aides Frank E. Moss, say they're determined to lollow the matter through. It.'s clearly another case of a federal bureaucratic boondoggle. Considering Mr. Sloat's record, the matter should have been resolved long ago." Lee Jorgensen, a Moss admin-strutiv- e assistant, said. Sloat joined the Army shortly after World War 11 broke out and was assigned to Iceland, where he served 23 months. After training in Britain, he was among troops landing at Omaha Beach during the Normandy Invasion. He received bronze. stars from all five European campaigns. Shortly before the Battle of the Bulge, Sloat was wounded and hospitalized. Gen. George Patton ordered all soldiers who could walk back into duty, and that put him back into action. And that, said the veteran, is when his troubles began He and his squad were assigned a truck just behind Allied lines. While they were in Luxembourg, Sloat says, the truck was stolen probably "appropriated" bv other U.S. troops. "It was combat. When an outfit, got two or three of its vehicles knocked out. they'd just take another one.

Gurdenu, Calif., was sentenced to five years to life on the sex charge and up to live years on the kidnaping charge. Judge Gordon R. Hall sentenced Anselmo immediately after the jury returned the verdict about G : 45 p.m. after several hours of deliberation. Anselmo was the third man to be convicted in the woman last abduction and rajx of a November. She was repeatedly raped and beaten for four days in an abandoned home at 1038 W. 4th South.

The first phase was a careful study of the EIS to see if it meets all the requirements of the National Environmental Policy Act, Flamm told the Deseret News. "I think the statement is all right." Flamm said. It seems to contain enough information to make an informed decision, he added. Now, the council is concentrating on what the decision itself should be. The group intends to make a recommendation to Kleppe probably next week." Flamm said. The council is taking a hard look at possible alternatives to the project, including everything from delay to no approval, different site locations and different uses of the energy, he said. Approval of the project as planned is one alternative that is being considered, Flamm added. - ! told the Deseret News.
