Show ry nr 2 II ' The Salt Lake Tribune, Thursday, January "g'M f-- ijf 1- -" TM 17. 19H0 Slal Seals File Authorities Order Silence on Inquiry Into Medical Examiner tigation last week, Mr. Wilkinson said the probe centers around the doctors medical education in Mexico or the lack thereof." A diploma from that school, on file with the Utah Department of Business Regulation, has been sealed from public view until an investigation is complete. Business Regulation Department director Gene Lambert refused to show that document to newsmen Wednesday, explaining that he consulted with the attorney general's office which advised him that he was under no legal obligation to disclose the diploma. Labeled Private He said the doctors file has been labeled private and confidential" by virtue of a Utah law concerning the personnel records of the states public officials and their rights to privacy. Mr. Lambert said that if the county, attorneys office should fail to take action against Dr. Moore, if it determines his license to be invalid, then the business regulation office will launch an investigation of its own into Dr. Moores credentials. Continued from I Dr. Moore testified as an expert w itness in murder cases and in other proceedings. Mr. Hansen said his office is prepared to deal with possible legal action that may follow disclosure of Dr. Moore credentials. B-- Reactionary iction to take action and handle these things as they are filed. Our action will largely be reactionary, based on the merits of each case as it occurs, Mr. Hansen said. Several attorneys have stated they will file legal motions regarding the convictions of their clients Dr. Moore testified against, if the former medical examiner is found to be unqualified to practice medicine. "Were ready Crucial the investigation to is whether or not Dr. Moore completed a medical education at the University of Mexico's Escuela de Medicina. Dr. Moore says he graduated from that school in 1949 at the age of 21. In confirming existence of the inves Smoking Ills In Women Rise Steadily The myth that women who smoke are immune to habits detrimental effects has been dashed with the release of the surgeon generals newest statistics, which show a sharp increase in heart disease, cancer and other smoking-relatehealth problems among women who smoke. Dr. John H. Holbrook, an associate professor of internal medicine at the University of Utah Medical Center and consulting editor of the surgeon generals e report, said Wednesday that the newest statistics show that "complications of smoking among women now are almost comparable to those of men. The report, "Health Consequences of Smoking for Women," w as the topic of a press conference held at the lEccles Medical Library on the University campus. Late Starters "Sinoking-as.sociateproblems in women have lagged 30 to 40 years behind those of men" because women didnt start smoking heavily until after World WaiJII, whereas men have been smoking heavily sine World War I. "The sst generation or two of American women hav& been smoking like men and they are beginning to stjffer the consequences, the doctor said. Ftjteen years ago, he said, statistics showed lung eanoer in five of every 100,000 women. Current statistics show that number has quadrupled. In fact. Dr. Holbrook pointed out, if the current rate of inrreasp continues, by 19K3 lung cancer will be the mosj prevalent type of cancer found in women, surpassing cervical and breast cancers for the first tinm in history. Epidemic Proportions "Its showing up in epidemic proportions, he said. "People get excited when theres a breakthrough in canaer prevention, Dr. Holbrook noted. "What they don realize is that cancer is 90 percent preventable if people would only quit smoking right now cigarettes. " Biil cancer isnt the only health hazard which wonjpn who smoke face, he said. Death in women fron emphysema and bronchitis has increased 500 percent in the past two generations. Hftirt disease, the biggest killer of both men and women, shows up twice as often in women who smoke as in those who dont. Dr. Holbrook said. The younger the woman' starts smoking, the more likely that heart disease will appear. Heart Disease , For those women who use oral contraceptives and smoke, cigarettes, the chance of heart disease is increased 10 times. Certain types of strokes appear 20 times more often in these women, Dr. Holbrook said. Smqjdng also cause's a marked increase in the possibility of developing severe or malignant hypertension. Research shows that infants born to women who smoke during pregnancy are an average of about oneJialf pound smaller than babies of nonsmokers, he spid. Often, the child will remain smaller 10 or 11 years after delivery. Mr. Lambert said the action to seal Dr. Moore's file was not requested by Dr. Moore or his attorney, L.R. Gard- ner. Mr. Gardner told The Tribune Wed nesday that he and his client have "cooperated fully with the county attorneys office," but he criticized the prosecutors for publicly commenting on the investigation, charging, "matters in like this should not be debated office, it is unknown whether a former pledge by the office to release information about the investigation in neys the press. With the refusal to provide information on the case by the county attor the next 10 days still holds. Accord Near Between Utes, State on Water Claims By Robert S. Halliday Tribune Environmental Specialist Agreement is near between the state and Ute Indian Tribe on a water compact covering Indian claims in Uintah Basin, Gov. Scott M. Matheson confirmed Wednesday evening. "Im in agreement with it. There are a few minor items yet to be resolved. If I can solve those and get it into the legislature (for ratification), Im ready to sail, he said. On Dec. 17 the proposed water compact was authorized unanimously by the Ute Tribal Council and given overwhelming approval in a vote by tribal members. Gordon Harmston, director of the Utah Department of Natural Resources and chief state negotiator, said last week : "We went over the final draft of the proposed compact and it appears we are m agreement." Gov. Matheson reviewed the document and discussed with key legislators its introduction in this session of the legislature. They informed him that, if it is acceptable to all factions, "it should go right through, the governor said Wednesday. He subsequently instructed Dee Hansen, State engineer, to meet with local elected officials in Uintah Basin to see If they agree with the compact terms and would not involve the measure in controversy if it were introduced. Mr. Hansen conducted the meetings in the basin Tuesday and reported Wednesday the proposed compact "was generally accepted" by local officials there. There was "limited opposition" on some minor potnts "but I think we clarified those issues, Mr. Hansen said. He reported his findings to the governor Wednesday. . According to the Winters Doctrine, upheld by the U.S. Supreme Court, the granting of reservations to Indians also implicitly granted them enough water to cultivate irrigable lands on the reservations. Total Ute lands under irrigation or susceptible to sustained production of agricultural crops by means of irrigation is 129.201 acres. That acreage would require annually a gross diversion of 471,035 acre feet of water and depletion (consumption) of 248,943 acre feet The proposed compact between Utah and the tribe is based on those figures. The water issue was agreed upon by tribe and state negotiators during the last general legislative session, but was not introduced because it was part of a package agreement including hunting and fishing rights which were not resolved. Since then almost all aspects of the Ute claims in the basin, except the water issue, have been presented to federal court for a judicial decision.

Deputy Public Safety Commisioner Robert C. Wadrpun told legislators the agency is placing emphasis on major illicit rather seeking out the suppliers and bootleggers than attempting to stop the street corner trade. ) Notes Cooperation recent Utah investigations, many in eooixjration with other states, which snared cocaine s in (at a value of $20,000 a pound) and cash for drug buys amounting up to $00,000 each in some hauls. A martjuuna investigation resulted in seizure in Florida of 17 tons of marijuana, possibly some of which was destined for this state. The division has requested an $881,000 1981 budget, some $100, (XX) over the legislative fiscal analysts recommendation. Part of the discrepancy is the analysts reduction in the request to take into account the transfer of Mr. Wadman out of the division to the deputy directorship of the Public Safety Department.
