By Dec. 27, rumor had lb the man was in California:, fay Dec. 29, the man was in California and there were five secret indictments and the sheriff s department had the warrants-Thats a rumor and how it grew. Monday, the rumor was confirmed. There were six indictments instead of five. But, it was no longer a rumor. It was a leak! j - w r - 0 ki. Did you notice? City Police check detail is doubled in size.

Itll be interesting, however, to see if we now get twic&as much results from the check detail. vit did look a bit silly for one sergeant to be commanding a squad of one man. Perhaps thats the real reason they made the detail bigger. From what that sergeant 'has been telling us for the past several years, 10 men couldnt do any better. The problem of checks, hes always told us, is to be found in criminal statutes and in those merchants who will take anything instead of money - even check stubs, if court juries refuse to convict and the county attorney wont prosecute, as the sergeant has often explained to us, and the merchants wont look at checks, what will (Continued cm page 4) C,'. -- p.. -- ' S; I v. 7 UTAHS favorite sport beckons natives as well as travelers fo the majestic mountains surrounding Salt Lake alley.- - Here Wayne Bingham pauses over a view of Park City sfki resort with the "" ' Gondola in the background, The Deer : Browning Status FracasL South S L Force Startling innovations in modern police science and organization uere promised by South Salt Lake Police Chief N D Hayward, when he assumed command enforcement Monday of the Mr. Browning is presently on a temporary leave of absence, as is Mr. Brady, according to Mr. Hacking.

It brought such embarrassing queries as: How about the Terrace? Kids dance over there. They dont have parents around. CapL Ferguson checked, he said, and the law was spelled out for the management. It was agreed, until the law could be changed, there would be no dancing at last weeks commercially sponsored Battle of the Bands.

But theres the law No dancing by minors unless accompanied by parents. So, Boyd F. Jensen, The Terrace, Tuesday asked Salt Lake City for a new, or revised ordinance. Under thjt ordinance, prepared for commission consideration by the city attorney, persons under 1 years of age will be permitted to attend public dances unaccompanied by a parent - if: The dance is sponsored or conducted primarily for persons under 18 years of age; no cigarettes, beer, liquor be sold, consumed or used on premises; ' (Continued on page A4) check club-brough- Mr-Ran- (Continued on page ' ALTAS Band Battle Brings Police , Spurs City Ordinance - The echoes have faded.

The bill would provide the federal government with certain mineral rights under state school sections in exchange -primarily those which would require deep exploration to find, according to Glen Hatch, Governor Hamptons assistant. Two bills would obtain federal aid-fUtaH in the areas of highway beautification and mental health. 9) rir When when terday, January 4, the Governor added items. The word - according to the Governors press secretary - is that nothing more is m the wind. Two matters headed for at least some opposition in Wednesday's proposals a $264,000 allocation for The Tourist Council and $365,000 for higher pay for teachers with advanced training. The quarter -- million plus for the Tourist Council isnt extra money. One-ha- lf million per year was appropriated by the legislature last year to come from motor fuel taxes. It turned out that the amount from that source was above that allowed by the Constitution, so the Governor is now asking that the amount be restored from the general fund. The idea of money for tourist promotion always has to be sold, and council director Manny Floor is before committee right now giving the pitch. If the legislature passes the additional appropriation for teacher pay it will help heal an old sore felt to exist by the Utah Education Association; thpt teachers with advanced training dont 11 ' or |
