Show Vol. 232, No. 109 Salt Lake City, Utah Friday Morning January 17, 1986 Arms Talks Resume on Upbeat Note By Tyler Marshall Los Angeles Times Writer GENEVA Against a backdrop of cautious optimism and expressions of good will, the United States and the Soviet Union resumed their elusive search for a nuclear-arm- s agreement here Thursday, meeting for over two hours in a session dominated by Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev's proposal to eliminate nuclear weapons by the end of the century. Thursdays session was the first meeting of U.S. and Soviet negotiators since Gorbachev and President Reagan agreed at their summit meeting here last November to accelerate the pace of negotiations. The Gorbachev plan, announced Wednesday in Moscow, provided a basis of discussion that U.S. officials have said they had not anticipated. Gorbachev also said the Soviet Union would extend for three months a unilateral moratorium on nuclear testing that had been in force since last v by the friendly summit. Moscows chief negotiator, Victor Karpov, greeted the leader of the U.S. delegation, Max Kampelman, at the door to the Soviet mission with a broad smile. Ushering the Americans into a larger room than had been used in previous sessions, he told Kampel- August.

The mood was noticeably upbeat inside the Soviet mission where the first meeting was held, with both sides apparently eager to build on the spirit of Geneva" created Reagan-Gorbache- man: Kampelman told Karpov that the U.S. delegation was in a constructive and was anxious to reach agreements that would remove the threat of nuclear war. Speakirg to reporters minutes before the session began, Karpov predicted that the Gorbachev plan, timetawhich proposes a three-steble for elimination of all nuclear weapons by the year 2000, would be central to the current round of negotiations. mood He said a 50 percent reduction in both the Soviet and U.S. strategic in principle to such a reduction and it is included in the first phase of Gorbachevs new plan. The Gorbachev proposal, however, is linked to the United States abandoning its Strategic Defense Initiative program of testing and developing space-baseweapons that could destroy enemy missiles in flight. The first phase would also include a nuclear test ban and elimination of U S. and Soviet intermediate-rang- e e weapons based in or aimed at weapons arsenal the initial task of the talks.

But we may have trouble in the House because there are two bills dealing with this same issue that have been introduced over there. Utah is one of just four states that have not passed a law commemorating Dr. Kings birthday. Sen. Williams, Lake, introduced a similar bill last year, but it failed in committee. You have a chance to make history here today, said Sen. Williams, the first black ever to serve in the Utah Senate. The economic issues that have been brought up here just pale in the light of the historical significance of this bill. The economic problems he referred to were brought up by state Administrative Services Director Gene Findlay, who said the addition of the King holiday would complicate the states method of computing paid vacation time earned during the year and because of that, could cost the state about $43,000.

Coretta Scott King pulled a black shroud from the towering bronze bust and looked up silently for a moment at the likeness of her husband's face. Then she turned, smiling broadly, and joined the applause that echoed thunderously inside the Capitol dome. Mrs. King noted that her husband's bust is the first one of a black American to be installed in the pantheon of national heroes in the Capitol, an honor rendered nearly 18 years after King was slain in Memphis, Tenn., on April 4, 1968.

Coleman Associated Press Writer CHICAGO One of the most frequently prescribed drugs in the United States, used to control high blood pressure and heart problems, probably causes depression in hundreds of thousands of the patients who take it, a new study indicates. The drug, Inderal, is in a class of lifesaving medications called beta blockers. They keep hormones in the adrenaline family from stimulating the heart in times of stress. Such stimulation is normal and can be beneficial when a person needs to escape a dangerous situation, for example. But the stimulation can harm people with high blood pressure or certain heart problems, and beta blockers have become standard medications for millions of them. Researchers led by Dr. Jerry Avorn of Harvard University Medical School reviewed medical records of 8,600 Minnesota and Michigan patients taking Inderal, or one of two similar medicines, and found that 23 percent of them also were taking medicine. The researchers compared that use among figure to e patients taking other drugs. They concluded that at least of the patients or about 7 taking percent of all patients needed them only because of the effects of beta blockers. The research was reported in Fridays Journal of the American Medical Association. While depression is a known of beta blockers, this study is the first to gauge the extent of the problem, Avorn said in a telephone interview Thursday. he believes the 7 percent He estimate is low because usually only patients with clear symptoms seek blood-pressur- one-thir- beta-block- d ts beta-block- side-effe- sd Chuckle Todays Beware of those who fall af your they may be reaching for the feet . . . edge of the rug. help for depression. Even then, many doctors may not diagnose it or prescribe medication for it. Beta blockers produce to moderate depression, not the sort that people jump out of windows over, he said. low-lev- Patients "just feel lousy. They feel life isnt worth living, they feel hopeless about the future, they feel helpless about their ability to do anything for themselves, he said. Some people may go for years without realizing the depression is linked to medication and can be alleviated, he said. People who take beta blockers and suspect the drug may be causing depression should consult their doctors, Avorn said. Under no circumstances should they stop their beta blocker and see what happens," he said. What happens could be a stroke. Often an alternative medication can be found, Avorn said. Inderal is made by Ayerst Laboratories of New York. It May Have More Than Any Other Planet Voyager 2 Finds 6 More Moons Orbiting Uranus , 2 By Lee Siegel AP Science Writer The Voyager PASADENA, Calif. spacecraft has discovered six more - moons orbiting Uranus, bringing the total to 12, and NASA said Thursday the planet may have 30 moons altogether, more than any planet in the solar system. "Scientists on the Voyager imaging team foind the moons in images returned by the spacecraft over the past two weeks," said a statement issued by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration's Jet Propulsion Laboratory. The six moons range from 20 miles to 30 miles in diameter, far smaller than the planets five major moons, which measure from about 310 miles to UUO miles across, said Ellis Miner, deputs Voyager project scientist. e Because the six newly discovered satellites are outside the nine charcoal-black rings known to orbit Urashepnus, none of them is a whose gravitational herd moon forces herd the nine known Uranian rings into their narrow shape s, Miner said. He said scientists still expect to one on find 18 shepherd moons each side of each ring which would bring to 30 the number of Uranian moons. "That will mean that Uranus has more moons than any of the other planets," Miner said. Saturn now holds the solar system record, with 20 moons, followed by Jupiter with 16, he said. The six moons, designated 1986U1 through 1986U6 until they are formal- ly named, are located between the outermost, or epsilon, ring and moon 1985U1, which previously was the innermost known moon and was discovered by Voyager last month. Miner said the fact that all six of the newly found moons "are clustered right around the same distance from the planet Is intriguing. It possibly implies they are a result of a larger satellite that broke up." That theory will be bolstered if Voyager 2s television cameras find the moons have Irregular shapes when it makes its closest approach to Uranus and its moons and rings on Jan. 24. Uranus five major moons were discovered by telescopes on Earth. They are Miranda, Ariel, Umbriel, and Oberon. Miner said Voyager 2 is beginning to return photographs showing surface details of i f those moons, and the images are consistent with previous estimates of their sizes. On Thursday, Voyager 2 was more than 1.84 billion miles from Earth and 10.1 million miles from Uranus, Miner said. On Jan. 24, the probe will fly about 50,600 miles from the planets cloud tops. Scientists have debated whether the Uranian moons formed from a collision between Uranus and an Earth-sizebody, which tipped the planet on its side, or simply condensed from the same swirling cloud of dust and gas that was the early solar system. The theoreticians are going to have a field day figuring where they all came from," he said. The newly discovered moons are: d 1986U1, about 30 miles in diameter, orbiting a distance of 41,070 miles from the center of the planet every 12 hours, 19 minutes, and discovered Jan. 3. 1986U2, about 25 miles across, orbiting at a distance of 39,990 miles every 11 hours, 50 minutes, and also found on Jan. 3. 1986U3, ab&t 25 miles across, orbiting at a distance of 38,370 miles every 11 hours, eight minutes, and discovered Jan. 9. 1986U4, about 20 miles across, orbiting at a distance of 43,450 miles every 13 hours, 24 minutes, and discovered Monday. about 20 miles across, orbiting at a distance of ab ut 39,000 miles every 11 hours, 24 minutes, and also discovered Monday. 1986, Todays Forecast Scat-- ' Salt Lake City and vicinity tered rain and snow showers.
