I take off the cap of the right fied stand, and its hollow inside, theres just enough room inside the tube to hide five minibottles if they are tied together with string. It is driving my wife crazy. DURING THE EVENING, I casual ly stroll into the bedroom, take off the bedpost cap, pull up a minibottle, drink it, and saunter back into the living room. My wife, who detests drinking, keeps wondering why I am so happy. Come to think alxiut it, I just might buy me one of these here brass beds.

Reporters who heard it and flew in it Wednesday can appreciate why there have been complaints. But the nuisance is mitigated, said officers, by the importance of its defense role. The demonstration trip and breakfast briefing for the press and city and state leaders were staged to explain how the reservists, and in particular the 191st Air Refueling Squadron, have lxen assigned a critical role within the Strategic Air Command and how efforts are underway to minimize noise impact.

Phil L. Hansen. Salt Lake City attorney who was a Democratic attorney general from 10ti5 through 1000, told the high court in an apical brief that he wasnt aecoided a fair hearing before the Bar's disciplinary group because, in part, his testimony was ignored ami findings, when they were filed, were based on charges never contained in an initial complaint. Mr. Hansen is charged with agreeing to represent a woman who owned a Sevier County auto dealership in a civil suit, then later accepting the case of the man she was suing, in an unrelated criminal matter. Also, the Bar said Mr. Hansen's $5.0b0 retainer lee in the woman client's excessive.' ease was 'clearly Mr. Han-en'- s brief was filed by his attorneys. Gerald R. Miller. E. Sent) Savage, Alan L.

In the brief. Mr. Hansen argued the fee was thoughtfully' sot and represented his best estimate of what the services would lx worth in a lawsuit that involved over $25,000 in hi:s client's assets. He charged that the client actually hadn't complained of an excessive fee this, instead, he said, came up foilin' first time during Bar hearings and after a formal complaint, minus that aspect, was formally at issue. "This ease doesn't involve dishonesty," the brief said, hut at most, a between lavvyet misunderstanding" and client. By Robert S. Halliday Tribune Environmental Specialist A public hearing conducted Wednesto day by Rep. Dan Marriott tap constituent opinion on the Vitro tailings problem was featured by political crossfire and verhal challenges of the congressmans sincerity and knowledge of the issue. The hearing, at nixm in South Salt Lake auditorium, drew about 100 persons, of whom 28 were slated to testify. Little new substantive material surfaced regarding the tailings. It was mostly a reiteration of the situation by specialists and private opinions publicized at many public, advisory and governmental meetings held on the subject the past five years. Notes Administration Pledge Conducting the meeting himself. Rep. Marriott opened by noting the national administration had promised remedial legislation last January. I didnt want to wait any longer to address the problem, so I went ahead with mine, he said. He introduced a bill dealing with the issue on March 21. The time is long overdue for swift action to be taken, he declared. John Paul Kennedy, Salt Lake attorney and Democratic candidate for Utahs second congressional district, was fourth in the succession of witnesses called up by Rep. Marriott. Doomed to Failure? Mr. Kennedy told the congressman: You have made a monumental public relations effort to show action, but your proixisal is doomed to failure and I think you know this. He said the Marriott bill contains some important positive provisions. "Other aspects of your bill, however, cast serious doubt both upon its merits and upon your tme purposes in submitting it at this time," the Salt Lake attorney said. The positive elements, he explained, included placing full liability on the United States for removal, allowing Utah a determining voice in remedial action and a study of the health problem. Potential Health Threat The Democratic candidate said the Vitro site is a potentially serious threat to public health, and added: I am concerned that you (Marriott) would attempt to fool the people and generate false hoxs that you are really doing something, when, in fact, you are doing nothing of substance to solve this critical problem. Mr. Kennedy said the bill must go through a lengthy legislative process hi both houses and be passed by both before the end of the year or it is dead. Too Little, Too Late? "Your action as a minority member of the Interior committee at this time is simply too little and too late, the Democrat continued, charging that the was hastily bill lacked assembled and that Rep. Marriott had not taken the time to put together a legislative team to assure passage. KC-97- KC-13- KC-13- KC-13- the .

We all ask for more results and less public relations. Notes Political Motivation Rep. Marriott responded by noting the political motivation of Mr. Kennedys remarks. . The congressman said he wanted to get action on Vitro through an amendment last October to a bill providing removal of a similar tailings pile in Colorado, but was persuaded to hold off for a comprehensive measure to handle the 21 remaining tailings piles in the country, including Vitro. Finally giving up on this administration effort, he submitted his own legislation, he indicated. The congressman said cosponsors arc not an issue" and that he has "alxiut 35 in the wings ready to go. "You dont need that when the bill gix's into the hopper." he said. "And alxiut 95 jxTcont of all the bills are Six . one-roo- 1 six-ake- i . : . . . . .
