Police Profile on Sniper Suspect Paints Picture of Broken Home gait fake By Con Psarras Tribune Staff Writer Joseph Paul Franklin is the product of a broken Southern home ruled by a domineering mother who relatives believe may have instilled a streak of meanness in the man wanted as a suspect in sniper murders in six states. As a nationwide manhunt continued Tuesday for Franklin, charged with a federal civil rights violation in the murders of two Salt Lake City men, a profile of the suspect began to emerge, police falling into line with a month-ol- d composite of the sniper. Reflection of Character Employing psychologists and a handwriting analyst. Salt Lake City police in compiled a profile of a sniper suspect which has become a reflection of Franklins character, as recalled by his former wife and his former mother-in-laPolice believed the man they were seeking for the murders of Ted Fields, 20, and David Martin, 18, was a drifter, loner and a man prone to random acts of extreme violence. Psychotic and dangerous. He was mentally disturbed, sick, violent, mean. He liked to be by himself. He never confided in me, remembers Bobbie Louise Smith, who was married to Franklin for three months about 12 years ago. The two were wed in Alabama and moved in with Franklins mother and father. A Mean Woman She was a mean woman, Mrs. Smith said of Franklin's mother, who is deceased. She was German . . . very a perfectionist. She put strict demands on him, and on everybody else, really.

Joseph Paul Franklin Had Unstable Past Despite what the fringe ledge a student know- up at picks school without the help of the is the teacher most valuable knowledge in the long run of life. Of course, every student read and write (unless he or she plans to enter politics) should learn how to its nice to know something about nuclear energy and the law of diminishing returns. Everyone should have a working smattering of philosophy, music, math, science and square dancAnd ing. BUT ITS THE INFORMAL rather than the formal knowledge that helps a student later on in life. Take my own education, for example. The most important piece of knowledge I learned in a year of kindergarten was that if you hit another kid over the head with a wooden block when he wasn't looking, eventually he would hit you over the head with a wooden block when you weren't looking! In the first grade I learned if you fall be sure to ket p your asleep in class eyes open! In the second grade I learned that the son of the PTA president gets better grades than the son of folks who don't attend PTA meetings. In the third grade I learned that most but teachers dont like tattle tales they sure listen to em' In the fourth grade I learned that teachers worry more about whether a kid is chewing gum than whether he's learning anything. IN THE FIFTH GRADE I learned that a student automatically gets better grades if his father happens to own a bank. In the sixth learned if you didnt have your homework done, the smartest thing to do was ask the teacher about her recent trip to Europe she would spend the entire period talking about what she saw In Rome and forget all about the assignment. In the seventh grade I discovered that all girls werent snippy little monsters and that some were very nice people, indeed, and a pleasure to be around. In the eighth grade I found out that the best way to flunk a class was to win an argument with the teacher in front of everybody! IN THE NINTH GRADE I learned the very valuable lesson that if you didnt do your homework you'd end up back in the eighth grade In the 10th grade I learned that a fellow who played football real well could still get passing grades even if he didnt know anything. In the 11th grade I discovered the astounding fact that a fellow could be very ugly and still get along very fine with the girls if he happened to own a car! In the 12th grade I learned that if you hadn't learned enough to find a job after graduation, about the only thing you could do was to go on to college. As a freshman in college I discovered that you could learn more about the birds and the bees in a co-evolleyball class than you could in a biology course! As a sophomore I learned the lesson that if you spent your time playing pool in the university pool hall Instead of going to class, you'd end in Vietnam! up studyin : geography As a j mlor I dl . uvered that a university basketball star could stiil even If he pass creative writing couldn't write his name on a basketball!

Although Sandy officials feel that such an agreement is merely protecting their investment in the water system, Deputy Salt Lake County Attorney Roger Livingston said such contracts border on blackmail and are "unconscionable, void, unenforceable and in violation of public policy. high rates to pay off those bonds, Mayor Thompson said. If these other cities were in debt almost $2 million, theyd fight any annexation too. Agrees to Sign Petition Basically, the contract states that the annexation of the property outside the Union-Jordasystem and city boundaries is the basis upon which the city is allowing the extension of its water system to serve the said property. If the annexation is not immediately possible, the contract says the property See Page B-- Column I n By Jim Woolf Tribune Staff Writer Salt Lake Citys first quarter financial report indicates it could be $500,000 overspent by the end of the fiscal year. Albert yaines, finance director for. the city, said Tuesday that preliminary revenue figures indicate sales tax will be $1.1 million below budget estimates and the franchise tax about $500,000 above estimates. The result is a net shortfall of about half a million dollars. To cope with the possible funds shortage, Mayor Ted L. Wilson said he may soon recommend cuts in the budgets of city departments. The more you do now, the less you have to do down the road, he said. To wait until the second or third quarter to make cuts would place too great a burden on the city. Look Elsewhere The mayor said he and his staff will update their figures on the amount of money left in continguency funds and savings from the city's hiring reduction to see if the shortfall can be made up elsewhere. Sagging sales tax revenues are also being felt by other government entities. The state recently announced its sales tax revenue would be off $32 million by the end of the year. Only Up 7 Percent The first quarter financial report indicates the sales tax revenue will increase only 7 percent to $15 8 million. That would leave a deficit of about $1.1 million. Sales tax revenue could be bolstered slightly in the remaining quarters of the year by the opening of the new Crossroads Mall. However, Mr. Haines said at best it could cut only about $100,000 from the sales tax shortfall. The surplus from the franchise tax, which was projected to generate $10.9 million, is due to a conservative budget projection. Mr. Haines said it is his gut feeling that the shortfall wont be a serious problem for the city. He said he has not calculated expenditures for the first quarter, but believes they will come in less than budgeted. Reduced spending could compensate for the decreased revenue, he said. The size of the apparent error in projecting the sales tax revenue has worried the new director of the citys Office of Management and Budget. Weekend Stay Crowded At Davis Jail Involves Unincorporated Area The contract specifically involves the unincorporated area in the Union and Granite areas of the southeast county which receive culinary water from the Union-Jorda- n Sandy-owne- d Water System. That area, bordered approximateand 8000 South, between ly by State Street and 1300 East (Creek Road), does have some area in Midvale and incorporated Sandy limits. In 1973, Sandy bid for and received permission to purchase the system, which it did by bonding for $1.75 million. Mayor W. Paul Thompson noted that Sandy residents are paying for the bond, and that the annexation contract is a "tool to insure their investment. Leave Us Holding the Tab In the past, he said, there have been instances when neighboring cities Midvale in particular have annexed a portion of the area containing the w ater system. But instead of condemning the system and compensating Sandy for the financial loss, the city will lay in a parallel water line hooked to its own system and leave us holding the tab. Since bond payments rely on the total number of connections and hookup fees, the loss of any portion of the Union-Jordasystem involves a potential loss to Sandy City, he said.

This number is even higher on the weekends. In a memorandum directed to Davis County law enforcement officers, Sheriff Johnson states, "We are anxious to provide the required jail services, but during the next 30 days we would appreciate your assistance in keeping the population to a level we can handle."
