A smaller demand for coal has forced Utah Power & light Co. to impose a total hiring freeze effective this week. According to a memo issued by II. J. Goodrich, a Hunter plant supervisor, UP&Ls economic concerns, coupled with the downturn in the demand for coal, has forced the company to initiate the freeze. Goodrich also discounts rumors of layoffs within UP&L, stating layoffs would be the last resort. Darcie White, vice president of corporate and public affairs for UP&L, confirmed the plan, saying it will be a company-wid- e policy. Ecomomic conditions have forced us to initiate the hiring freeze, and we will no longer replace employees lost by attrition, except in emergency cases, or situations where safety or are a factor, he said. The move by UP&L eliminates some 200 planned job openings at Hunter 3, and in addition, White cy estimates another 50 employees will be lost through retirement. We are in a situation where we need to protect White our earning structure, We must maintain our said. rating so when we look for financing, we will still be able to belt-tighteni- sell bonds. Some utilities have lost that ability." White and Goodrich both called for improved efficency from employees, in an attempt to ease the financial burden within the UP&L system. White also expressed the opinion that layoffs would occur only if necessary. We dont anticipate any cutbacks right now, other than those in the hiring freeze, he said. We are striving to deal with the economic situation in the best way possible, Goodrich said. Each employee will undoubtedly be asked, as he always is, to perform his labors in the most efficent manner possible. Article calls Nixon a drunk BOSTON (AP) Richard M. Nixon was often so drunk in the White House that when cables arrived Henry A. Kissinger would tell aides, Theres no use waking him hed be incoherent, says an article in up Atlantic Monthly. The article in the May issue of Atlantic also says that Kissinger regarded his chief aide, Alexander M. Haig Jr., as a double-dealwho had ingratiated himself with Nixon and (H.R.) Haldeman and other senior aides by savaging Kissinger behind his back and spying on him. The author, Seymour M. Hersh, paints a portrait of a duplicitous Kissinger, then national security adviser to Nixon, who was more and more subservient, even fawning, to his patron but increasingly vicious and outspoken outside the Oval Office. The article quotes Roger Morris, a member of the National Security Council staff under Nixon, as saying he often listened in on conversations between Kissinger and an obviously drunk Nixon. Hersh wrote: There were many times when a cable would come in late and Henry would say, Theres no sense waking him up hed be incoherent, Morris recalls. The young aide was frightened by the idea of a president who was not fully competent after sundown. He often wondered what would happen if the Soviet Union attacked at night. late-nig- volved in mounting some 500 perches atop telephone poles for the eagles. The Clarks Valley area is of particular concern to Moretti because it has a high density eagle population. Over 900 golden eagles were counted in Utah in January, many in Clarks Valiev because of the large rabbit population. Most of the birds make their nests in the nearby cliff areas, but a few of the Carbon County eagles find homes in trees. There arent too many trees in the area, so telephone poles are the best vantage points for them to spot rabbits, Moretti said. e The specialist said it wasnt until about two years ago when Wildlife Resources started to notice the wires were killing eagles. He said there also is a problem with shooting of the raptors while they are perched on the poles which is evident by shattered pieces of poles that lay beside poles. After retrieving a dead eagle, Moretti freezes the bird until he can send it to Salt Lake City, where testing is conducted to determine cause of death. The Salt Lake City center will then give the eagle to Indian tribes for use in ceremonies. 1 - culating a petition to have the proposed Right to Know law placed on the Nov. 2 ballot.

In the January budget session, lawmakers voted down a bid to open the closed meetings. Dennis M. Hanson, president of the Carbon County Educators Association, said Carbon Countys influence at the Legislature is diluted because the Democratic delegation from this county are not privy to business conducted in the closed Republican caucuses. Steve Hale, UEA public relations director, said petition circulators must gather 60,002 signatures in order to place the initiative on the ballot. That is 10 percent of the number who voted for governor in 1980. Moreover, in each of 15 counties, there must be signatures from at least 10 percent of the Hanson people who voted for the governor. said that number in Carbon County amounts to 902 signatures. He said organizers here will try to get twice that many in case some of the signatures turn out to be invalid. The deadline for the signatures is May 12. Hanson said one faculty representative in each school in the district is responsible for gathering the signatures.
