A second planeload of North Vietnamese and Viet Cong delegates to the joint military commission sat overnight in the plane that brought them to Saigon. The joint military commission held two meetings Monday, but both broke up in disputes over the failure or refusal of at least one of the two to Communist delegations present credentials.

Karl Swan, sponsor of legislation to force alteration of the earthen fill so as to remove obstacles to navigation and allow free exchange of lake waters, introduced a substitute bill. He then successfully moved to have the issue made a special order of business for 10:30 a.m. Friday. His revised measure 'is an apparent effort to soften the type of apposition which resulted in an unfavorable committee report on the bill (SB45). Both bills declare it to be public policy that there be no hindrance to free navigation on the lake nor any obstacle the free flow and natural distribution of waters. The substitute bill, however, opens the way for possible payment of state compensation to the railroad and authorizes the Land Board to initiate an engineering analysis of the lake to support legal action. studies have Engineering indicated that the causeway Dale Rheel, an earth sciences teacher at Wisconsin Rapids High School, said it was also possible it was a chunk of ice carried by a tornado into the stratospheres jet stream and dropped over Wisconsin.

Receiving unanimous House was a measure approval which would expand the guidelines for property tax relief for Utahns age 65 and older and would thus cut revenues for local governments. Also passed were measures which would require the licensing of radio and television repairmen, allow cosmetologists to cut mens hair, and petition the President to ease restrictions against coyote poisons. Under the property tax excounty emption proposal, boards of equalization could grant such exemptions to senior citizens whose residence has an appraised value under $20,000 and whose income is less than $3,500 per individual or $4,000 for married couples. The abatement would amount to 50 percent of the total tax assessed or $100, whichever is less. The $3,500 and $4,000 guidelines were a compromise between the $2,500 and $3,000 allowed under current law and the $4,500 and $5,000 mended by the bills sponsors, See HOUSE on Page A-- 6 INSIDE THE NEWS SECTION A SECTION P City, Regional TV Highlights 2-- 6 7 V |
