SALT LAKE CITY (UPI) — A consitutional amendment which would have slammed a lid on state and local tax increases went down to defeat in the Utah House today for the second year in a row when several members of the Republican majority refused to support a party cacuus position to back the proposal. Among the GOP Legislators who voted against the constitutional limit was Rep. Robert H. Garff, R-Bountiful, president of a large Salt Lake City car dealership. “We don’t know what the long-term ramifications of this measure would be,” Garff said. ‘‘I think we had better justlet this simmerfor a while until we are sure of what we are doing.” The amendment was defeated 43-30, seven votes short of the necessary twothirds majority necessary for passage. An almost identical amendmen‘ failed in the Houselast year whenitfell two votes short of the two-thirds majority. Both measures, sponsored by Rep. Gary Bi . it Lake, grew outof the tax rebellion fever that swept the nation following passage of Proposition 13 in California. Br blamed an_ intensive lobbying effort on the part of city, county and school officials for the measure’s defeat. “They gave out the impression that the amendment would have been totally inflexible,” he said “That just wasn’t true, but apparently it was a persuasive argument.”’ The House also passed a resolution asking President Carter not to draft women because it would hinder their ability to be good mothers and homemakers.

BYU Offers Counseling to Public Wednesday: Utah Valley residents may receive counseling services at Brigaam Young University’s newest building, the nee Clinic Building, at 1190 Th the building is months awa’ from official dedication, persons wit individual emotional difficulties, marital problems, family counseling and adjusting to separation or divorce may find help from trained clinic counselors. The building houses six university disciplines and one professional social service, according to Dr. Gwain Wells, acting clinic director. The LDSSocial Service office for the area, formerly located in Orem, has moved into the new building, providing all the services formerly available at the old location. Thebuilding also housesthe training programs ofclinical psychology, marTiage and family therapy and communicative disorders on the BYU campus, Wells said. BYU’s social work and psychology departments as well as public health nurses will offer other services attheclinic. Bri allof these services, which the university offers, together in one building is unusual, Wells said. “Welooked all over the country for a similar facility to find out how they wereorganized, and could only find one other school that has done the same kind of thing with its clinics,"’ Wells said. Wells said the new building is well equipped and is capable of handling manykinds of counseling situations. Fees for services at the clinic are charged on a sliding scale based on a client's ability to pay as wellas his affiliation with the university, Wells said. d that the ity services are for training of therapists, with graduate students doing most of the counseling, under strict and constant supervision. “In some respects, individuals using the counseling services we offer will be under better care than they might get in anothersituation because we always have morethan one person working on each problem,” he said. The counseling rooms in the clinic have been designed for supervision under conditions that stress a sense of privacy and confidentiality, but also permitthe strict supervision needed. “We feel we have an outstanding facility here,’ Wells said. “We have avoided the appearance of a university building and provided the kind of i setting found in other clinics.” In addition to 17 therapy rooms,the facility has two large groupinteraction roomsand twolarge classrooms. Some of the roomsare equipped with biofeedback equipment for treating migraine headache sufferers and others, Wells said. Ampleparkingis available close to the building, with an entrance into the first level from the parking lot and an entrance to the second level directly from 900 East.

The governments of Britain and Australia — two traditional allies — have announced they support a boycott, but their national Olympics committees maintain they, not the governments,will make that decision. Both committees areinclined to attend the Games. In sports terms, withdrawal by such leading countries as West Germany, Britain, Japan, or China, as well as the United States, would turn the Olympicsinto a farce.
