B-- Work begins on mines lab About 65 runners of all were introduced shapes, sizes, ages and staminas this morning to the joy of running in the chilly autumn air here. They took part in the first Salt Lake Running Clinic sponsored by the Governors Council on Physical Fitness and the Salt Lake City Parks and Recreation Department. After opening remarks by Mayor Ted Wilson. Dr. Frank Yanowitz, chairman of the physical fitness council, and Scott Bringhurst, one of Utahs premier runners, the participants did some stretching exercises, split into three groups beginners, and jogged away. intermediate and veterans About an hour later, some of them weren't so sure running was the joy Dr. Yanowitz had promised them. Running is more like a pain, some of them, especially those completely out of shape, said. But Dr. Yanowitz said it takes several weeks, and maybe as long as four months, to really get in shape and discover the joy of running. Running can be much more than simply physical fitness, he promised. Running is mentally soothing, can stimulate creativity, reduce anxieties, increase efficiency and provide challenges in life. Mayor Wilson introduced Scott Bringhurst, who recently blasted to the top of Ensign Peak and back from Memory Grove in just 33 minutes averaging better than six minutes per mile. Bringhurst, who still holds the Deseret News marathon record, showed the runners how to exercise. He emphasized stretching exercises, saying they are mandatory if a runner wants to maintain muscle flexibility and avoid pulled muscles and tendons. Four suspects in the May 10 murder polygamist leader Rulon Allred were booked into Salt Lake County Jail Friday In an unusual after-hour- s court session, Victor Lee Chynoweth, 30, and his wife, Nancy, 28, of Sedalia, Colo., were arraigned before Salt Lake City Judge Paul G. Grant. They were freed on $15,000 bond each after the arraignment, according to their attorney, Robert Van Sciver. The two are charged with conspiracy to commit murder, and Victor Chynoweth faces an additional charge of conspiracy to commit murder in connection with an alleged attempt on the life of Merlin Kingston. Also booked into the jail Friday were Ramona Marston, 20, Denver, and Mark Lee Chynoweth, 20, Dallas, Tex. They are charged with conspiracy to commit murder in the Allred and Kingston cases, criminal homicide in the Allred case and attempted criminal homicide in the Kingston case, according to Van Sciver.

The lights mean, literally, Stop! Childrens lives are in danger. Motorists must stop on any road, highway or freeway if they are traveling the same direction as the bus. They also must stop when traveling in the opposite direction, with only one exception, when the road or highway is divided by either a median strip or a barrier More than 100, 000 Utah students ride the state's more than 1,000 school buses daily. These buses travel more than 12.5 million miles a year While Utah has an excellent bus safety record, both motorists, bus drivers and bus riders continually must observe safety practices, Clayton said. During Bus Safety Week Clayton suggests that - Drivers be aware of students near their buses Students be alert and careful as they board or leav e buses All persons who drive or ride in motor vehicles hocomc familiar with the school bus law as it affects traffic movement Christmas stories sought Christmas may be far from the thoughts of most Utahns as they enjoy Indian summer, but newspaper editors are looking ahead.

(UPI) notified the U.S. Attorneys office Friday that they will not seek extradition of Daniel Ben Jordan, 43, to stand trial in a polygamy sect shooting death. Assistant U.S. Attorney Marc Blackman said he received no explanation on why the Mexican government would not seek extradition of Jordan, a resident of Denver who previously lived in La Grande, Ore. U.S. Magistrate Edward Leavy, on learning of the Mexican authorities decision, ordered Jordan released on his own recognizance on a 1959 draft evasion charge. Jordan had been released Thursday on posting of 10 percent of the $100,000 bail originally set and after pleading innocent to the draft charge. Jordan was charged with the Aug. 20, 1972, death of Joel LeBaron, leader of the Church of Firstborn m the Fullness of Time, in Ensenada, Mexico. Jordan is reported by authorities to be a member of another polygamous group headed by Joels brother, Ervil LeBaron, the Church of the Lamb of God Mayor Wilson is assisted in stretching exercise by Gail Clark. Meanwhile, it was learned that the Mexican government will not seek extradition from Denver of Daniel Ben Jordan, 43, a suspect in the shooting death of Joel LeBaron, leader of a polygamous sect in Ensanada, Mexico (See more detailed story on this page). Jordan reportedly is a member of a polygamous group headed by Ervil LeBaron, as are all of those charged or suspected in the death of Allred LeBaron, himself, is being sought by authorities in the Allred shooting. Another suspect in the Allred murder is Rena Chynoweth, 19, said to be one of Ervils wives. She is still at large. She is charged with criminal homicide and conspiracy to commit murder. Dr. Allred, a Murray naturopath, was slain by a hail of bullets fired from pistols held by two women who burst into his office in Murray and emptied their weapons. There have been reports that one of was actually a man the women dressed as a woman, but this remains uncertain. Murray police have mailed out 2,500 wanted posters to law enforcement agencies from upstate New York to Southern California seeking leads on the six suspects still at large Kidnap suspect hustled out of court v "We were looking for deer We had ridden our horses down into a gully and came back up when we saw this metal stuff.

By Todd Smith As told to the Deseret News 65 learn the 'joys7 of running With promises that it may ease Americas minerals crisis, a new $10 million research laboratory for the U. Bureau of Mines was begun Friday at the University of Utah Research Center. About 200 federal, state, university and industry representatives attended the ground breaking of the new lab, held in a large, muddy and gnat- - infested field at 729 Arapeen Dr. (2250 East). said some people Rep. Gunn McKay, believe too much money is being spent on the new metallurgy research center. My response to that is a simple question Do we need another national crisis? I think the answer is no, he said. With this center we demonstrate that we no longer need crises to move us to action. It shows we are willing to invest today to avoid the terrible costs of national dependence tomorrow. Rep. McKay said America has responded admirably in the past whenever a serious crisis has developed, but that it is time to start looking ahead to avoid such problems, if possible. He said a critical shortage of minerals is looming and could create a crisis :1 potentially more staggering than even our struggle with energy. He said the United States has become increasingly more dependent on raw materials from foreign sources. If the trend continues, the United States will slowly change its industrial base. Light manufacturing and services will dominate and we will become increasingly vulnerable to the whim of mineral suppliers from abroad, he said Former EPSOM, England (AP) beauty queen Joyce McKinney was hustled sobbing and screaming into court Friday to be remanded in custody for another week on charges of kidnaping a Mormon missionary.

Powerful searchlights from i. Salt Lake television station helicopter identified the plane by its letters. Sheriff Mack Holley said the singleengine craft was lying on a steep incline and that all seven occupants were killed on impact. There were no signs that the aircraft had burned. All the doors were shut and there was no indication that any attempt had been made to escape from the plane One observer who accompanied the hikers to the downed craft, himself a pilot, said the plane looked as though it had a powerless landing.

Dr. Melvin Calvin, professor of chemistry at the University of California at Berkeley, said its now latex-producin- g Prize-winnin- and con- g pos-sibl- e to grow vast petroleum plantations throughout the southwestern United States where alcohol could be be obtained from latex-producin- g plants He said that such plantations could begin to dot the Southwest, includmg-part- s of Utah, within a decade Dr. Calvin sketched his plans m the opening lecture of the Frontiers ot Science series at the University of Utah The chemist explained that oil, because of its dwindling supply, and coal, because of the environ mental problems involved, are less preferred than sun power in providing a quick remedy to tiie countrys energy crisis. The problem, he said, is harnessing the energy of the sun The sun is most readily caught by plants, he said. I think we should look in that direction for an early solution to the our countrys energy needs. A growing plant stores energy in hydrocarbons, he said. The hydrocarbons can be extracted from each plant and fermented into alcohol, which could then be made into chemicals or used as liquid fuel, Dr. Calvin claimed. In Brazil, sugar cane plants are being converted into alcohol with no appreciable loss of pnergy, he said. Brazilians believe fermented sugar plants may soon supply 20 percent of that countrys liquid fuel needs But in the United States we can't do that because we don't have that source of carbohydrates which can be fermented, Dr. Calvin said We do have some sources, however, such as woodehips and types of straws, lxith of which can be broken down into soluable sugars." However, Dr. Calvin said, a lack of plants is no obstacle, since the United Slates has available many plants CHEMIST ob B-sugar-producin- g g j. 2 machine given to U. An $18,000 machine used by eye surgeons to monitor progress in patients has been donated to the University of Utah Medical Center division erf opthalmology. A. Lee Christensen, Salt Lake City, donated the machine, known as a Tubingen perimeter. Dr. Michael Kottler, assistant professor of surgery, said the machine is used to test side vision in patients under treatment for eye problems involving neurological disorders, glaucoma, and retinal and vascular problems. The perimeter provides a more accurate, thorough examination of eye patients and treatment results can be measured more precisely, he said. He said the patients head rests comfortably in a d technidevice, and a specially-traine- d cian flashes lights throughout the bowl. The patient responds if he sees the light. The intensive examination takes two hours Dr Kottler said the machine is German-mad- e and only about 30 are available in the United States bowl-shape- Drug dismissals rejected U S District Judge Aldon J Anderson today rejected motions of eight persons accused of drug trafficking to dismiss charges against them because they were not given a speedy trial Attorneys for the defendants argued they had y Jail longer been kept in the Salt Lake than the 90 days specified by the Speedy Trial Act However, Judge Anderson, m rating against the defendants, cited a federal court case in which an exclusion to the y stipulation was made because of the illness of the presiding judge. Judge Anderson said it applies in the current case because the presiding judge, Chief Judge Willk W. Ritter, has been ill since August. On Sept. 30 Judge Ritter set an Oct. 12 trial date for the eight defendants who appeared in court today and 14 others who were arrested beginning June 13 in an operation by state and local officers and the FB-They are charged with either distribution of heroin or conspiracy to distribute heroin.
