Howe Decides Today Sex Charge On Plans for Future Untrue , Continued From Page One which could be resolved by Mr. Howe and lTtah Democrats Meanwhile, Rep. Howe was charged in Salt Lake City Court with having ' offered or agreed to pay another person to commit a lewd act and-o- r an act of sexual intercourse. The complaint was signed against Alan (sic) Turner Howe by Charles R. WTiitney, court bailiff, before City Judge Paul G. Grant, who set arraignment for Tues- - day at a. m. in his court. Asks Dismissal Also filed was a petition for writ of mandamus asking for immediate dismissal of the charge on grounds of police entrapment. Tbe petition, to be heard by a judge to lx designated June 30 at 2 pm., was filed by Robert N. Macri, who identified himself as a taxpayer" and contended action against Mr. Howe should be dropped because, "by their own words, police lied at least twice to accused" by denying they were police decoys posing as prostitutes. As a taxpayer, petitioner is filled to sickness with police lies, congressional misconduct, doublefaced senators, elected officials who end in jail, corrupt bar associations and believe that by refusing to grant these wrongdoers the spoils of their lies and greed, justice will be served. Alleged Conversation Salt Lake City vice officers said an alleged conversation between one of the decoys and Rep. Howe was witnessed from a microphone planted on the decoy by four other officers, but was not recorded. They said when the decoy system was inaugurated some recordings were made but that the practice was discontinued. They denied the congressman was 'set up." Asst. Chief Eugene Cederlof said, There was no setup. They (vice officers) made seven or eight other, arrests over the weekend. We handled it just like any other case." Original Position Wendell J. Ashton, managing director of public communications for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-da- y Saints, said the churchs original position on alleged congressional scandals "is unchanged. In a previous statement, President Kimball said: The workings of our government should be an example to the world in uncompromising integrity, in wise and prudent stewardship of public funds, in personal morality, including fidelity in marriage, and in openness on activities which will build the confidence of the electorate.

The government, which hoped to save millions over the printing of $1 bills, said 225 million $2 bills were printed in April when they were reintroduced. But most have since disappeared. A Federal Reserve Board official said there was no way to determine where the bills went but speculated they ended up in the pockets of collectors. There was an initial run on the bills in April. Many people bought them and had them postmarked so they could be used as collector's items.
