Richard Schubach told the commission that the Environmental Protection Agency had informed the Utah Air Conservation Committee (UACC) that Salt Lake City is one of 18 communities with a foul air problem largely caused by carbon monoxide. If the EPA should impose such stringent guidelines that steps were necessary to keep traffic aw'ay from the downtown area, such projects as improvement of Salt Lake Citys Main Street would be threatened and survival of a strong, downtown area shopping impaired, DPC members said. down traffic rather than speed it up). One result of a computerized system would be to keep cars moving in a more constant and continuous flow, preventing the need o for driving,Agraz said. It would not affect the general speed. stop-and-g- The commission voted to invite Grant Winn, secretary of the UACC, to attend the next meeting of the planning commission and explain the committees position. City Traffic Engineer Jess Agraz assured the downtown group that a computerized traffic control system for the city would not be aimed at speeding traffic through the downtown area.

Health aide responds Going rate: 50 cents to Barkers charges Doctor wants baby teeth By Joe Costanzo Deseret News staff writer A state health official responded to a claim he was being uncooperative Friday by saying, Health is being used as a whipping boy to harass suspected prostitutes. The issue arose with a letter Salt Lake City Public Safety Commissioner James L. Barker Jr. sent to Gov. Calvin L. Rampton concerning laboratory tests of women arrested for suspected prostitution. Barker said Utah has only one laboratory available to the city for making tests to determine the presence of syphillis. He said the administrative head of that facility has refused George is undecided The trial balloon launched to test the reaction to a George Romney candidacy for the U.S. Senate from Utah was neither punctured nor further inflated by his arrival here Friday. The former secretary of Housing and Urban Development said he is honored to be considered, but has made no decision. He will be in Utah for several days to Freedom take part in Provos four-daFestival and to speak at patriotic services at Brigham Young Universitys Mary riott Center at 7 p.m. to cooperate in performing those tests and unusual delays in getting the results have occurred. Although he is not mentioned by name in the letter, Dr. Taira Fukushima heads the lab and admits Barker is probably refering to him. Fukushima said the reason there may be no cooperation is because they (city officials) never talk to us on an official basis. According to Barker, the problem arises because the city health department years ago directed that arrested prostitutes be held for venereal disease checks. He said the police department has cooperated by holding suspected prostitutes for examination. Barker said, however, defense attorneys are now raising legitimate legal points as to how long the women can be held pending examinations. He further indicated city judges are demanding that the city accomplish the tests within a reasonable time, and not hold suspected prostitutes longer than necessary. Barker is asking Rampton to secure this cooperation for us. Fukushima denies there is a lack of cooperation, and explained why delays sometimes ensue. He said the normal procedure is to examine blood specimens, and determine the status within 24 hours. However, if a test is positive, it doesnt mean the disease is present necessarily, but requires a second test, Fukushima said. He said this second test isnt done every day and thats where the delays come in.

The audit said income was about $20,000 less than $68,400 w'hen lights, heat, Revenue from student housing at three Utah colleges has dropped so severely that the schools are in danger of being unable to meet bonding obligations, the State Board of Higher Education was told Friday. The revenue losses came to light in an audit of bonding programs conducted under a new bonding policy recently approved by the board. (See related story on Page .) Board member Roy Simmons said the situation has reached a critical point at Dixie College, where Inst years income is expected to be $22,409 short of the $107,400 due in interest and principle payments, and at College of Eastern Utah, where revenue is expected to be $7,100 short of the $19,642 due. But the audits also revealed a problem at Southern Utah State College.

Cedar City. All the bonds involved were sold to finance construction of student housing on condition they would be paid off by housing revenue. 2 , But last year, bonded student housing at the three schools was only 70 to 80 percent occupied, and the schools say an occupancy rate of about 90 percent is needed to cover all bond obligations. Weve had dropping enrollments, and most of the drops have been in The audit reports noted that in addition to having enough money to meet the annual interest and principal payments on bonds, the Slate Boards bonding policy requires schools to keep reserve funds. The reserves help guarantco that schools will meet their obligations, maintain a healthy credit rating for the state, and insure against damage to buildings that might affect their potential to bring in revenue. The reports said the schools not only are failing to raise enough for interest and principal payments but are falling far short of meeting reserve requirements.

The charges were dropped against the Adult Book and Cinema Shop in Ogden City Court Friday. Judged Robert V. Phillips dismissed the misdemeanor counts on a motion by attorney Brian R. Florence with approval of Assistant City Atty. Robert Wallace. The attorneys told Phillips the Utah obscenity law is unconstitutional under a new U.S. Supereme Court ruling because it is not specific enough. Phillips ordered the return of 181 items seized by police in a raid on the store. In Salt Lake City, officers confiscated several sex magazines, films and novelty items from C and W Wholesale and Retail Inc. Friday on a search warrant issued by City Court Judge Paul Grant.

Cars suffering from the over anxious- - disease need only a slight adjustment as part of the Deseret Week campaign. News -- The symptoms are simple. If you have to keep ur fool on the brake while waiting for a stop light to keep the auto from moving ahead, your car is idling too fast. This malady causes the car to bum extra fuel a needless waste at a time when motorists want to do their share to save natural resources. Gary Anderson, president of the Utah Association of Petroleum Retailers, suggests that you road test your car. Does the automatic choke allow the engine to start readily and run smoothly until warm? Does the engine idle so that the car doesnt atall, yet isnt over anxious? If your road test convince you that something's wrong, a minor adjustment of the choke by a qual-fiemechanic may be all that is necessary to correct the problem, according to Anderson.
