William Ruckeishaus, EPA administrator, said Friday notices will go out next week tu manufacturers of DDT, cancelling federal registrations for use of the pesticide 30 days later. Also beginning Jan. 18. he review said, will be a aimed at halting the interstate sale of both DDT and the pesticide 2,4,5-T- . The notifications to cancel registrations may be appealed by manufacturers, who may thpn continue to sell their products while appeals are reprocessed. But the view may lead to tougher and more direst suspension orders that cannot be appealed. Suspension orders bar interstate sale, as do the cancellation notices, a ban on interstate sales ultimately would y y ' curtail other sales. We hope to lay to rest once and for all the question whether DDT presents an imminent hazard to the public, Ruckeishaus said. Failing proof of this, EPA must decide whether the public benefit from its continued risks the use outweighs involved. move follows Ruckeishaus an order Jan. 6 by the U.S. Court of Appeals directing proceedings by EPA to ban all remaining uses of DDT. All interested parties will have a chance to air their views on the pesticides, Ruckeishaus said. The EPA invited comment in written form before Feb. 5, and said the arguments will be made public as they are received.

Prime Minister Lee Kuan Yew, speaking as chairman of this years British Commonwealth conference, was quoted by delegates as telling his Let us not be colleagues: hypocrites. We all have to face and live with realities, even though we may have high he said, adding that ideals, the 31-- a t i o n association should be held together instead of splitting up over a single issue. n Delegates said Lee appealed to all sides to take to heart the views of those whose interests conflicted with theirs. The Commonwealth is facing a crisis over plans of Britain's Conservative govern- - ment to sell limited supplies maritime weapons to the white - supremacist government of South Africa. Britain claims South Africa needs the arms to guard against a grow ing Soviet naval threat in the Indian Ocean, but Commonwealth members opposed to South Africas racial policies have threatened to walk out of the association or take economic sanctions against Britain if the arms deal goes through. Senior delegates to the nine-daconference today reported secret maneuvering to find ways of bringing Britain and African members of the Commonwealth closer together. Several lines were open to Britain to step back slightly without losing face, sources said, but their chances of were believed being used slim. Delegates finished discussion of the world political sitsessions uation in half-wawith speeches by today, Uganda, Ghana. Malta, Western Samoa and Swaziland. No sessions wers scheduled for Sunday but most delegates planned to spend the weekend lobbying and preparing for the major issues on the agenda, which include South African arms. Indian Ocean security, and Britain and the Common Market. of y SOVIETS POSTPONE TRIAL FOR 9 LENINGRAD JEWS The trial Jews has been postponed until late February when a decision on whether to proceed will be made in the light of new evidence, Soviet sources said today. The sources said.it appeared the defense won the postponement from a late January trial date by stating it was gathering important new evidence. The nine defendants were among about 40 persons arrested on charges of Zionist propaganda and Zionist organizing following the June 15 arrest of 11 persons subsequently convicted of attempting to hijack an airliner at Leningrad. Like the 11 hijack defendants, most of the others were Soviet Jews. They were accused of agitating for the Soviet right to emigrate to Israel and criticizing policy in the Middle East.

NEGOTIATION BILLS Two more negotiations acts were introduced in the House Friday bringing to three the number of plans proposed for reaching contracts with public employes and teachers while avoiding strikes and lengthy disputes. HB61, sponsored by Ronald faT. Halverson, vors dealing with educators on a separate basis from other public employes. It provides for mediation and factfinding under the auspices of an Education Negotiations Committee. IMPASSE CLAUSE Its distinguishing feature is a clause stipulating binding arbitration if an impasse in negotiations drags on beyond a July 14 deadline. While the act does not specifically pro- hibit teachers from striking, it does restrict either of the parties from failure to negotiate in good faith. HB62 is an alternative measure to the first negotiations act (HB42) introduced Wednesday, and is sponsored by the same representative, House Minority Leader Lorin N. Pace, Lake. While Paces original bill includes all public employes and compulsory arbitration is in its language, HB62 mild, in the words of its sponsor. The document does not include teachers and proing vides for stead of compulsory negotiations. lt fact-findin- I agreed to sponsor this bill (HB62) at the request of the Utah Public Employes AsPace said.

Other new bills introduced before the House adjourned Friday included one prohibiting the operation of snowmobiles on public highways (HB59) and an act calling for licensing and examination of plumbers (HB60L PENAL REFORM Also placed on the calendar were three House Joint Reso- lutions directing various agencies to continue study in the areas of penal reform and economic development, and creating a temporary panel in science and technology. Representatives, many without copies of the Utah Code, reconsidered HB49 which would provide legislators with a new copy of the code each session, and cost the state $5,000. It passed Thursday, but lacked a majority which would have okayed an emergency clause giving the representatives the code immediately.

Its someone who was here when the pioneers arrived, Waddingham explained. (The Rainbow is a planted fish.) . Harward ignored the thrust. Has it (the trout) performed the same function as the seagull (the state bird)? Waddingham persisted. The original seagulls who ate the crickets arent still around, said Harward defensively. The Rainbow trout didnt do anything for the pioneers, but the noble carp did, said Waddingham. If it hadnt been for carp who sacrificed themselves by being pickled in brine, many a pioneer wculd have perished dui.ng the long winters, he said, adding: Therefore, I propose an amendment, substituting the carp for the Rainbow trout as the state fish. A carp would really look great on display as a state symbol, wouldnt it? scoffed Harward. He endured the same banter during debate on the elk bill. Sen. Moroni L.
