Show The Salt Lake Tribune, Friday, February 7, 1986 B3 McDonnell Douglas Picks Salt Lake for Plant Site Continued From B-- l deliveries to the fighting front, rather than to the largest nearby major airport, which will likely be congested in wartime. Maximum takeoff gross weight of the which will have four engines, will be 570,000 pounds. The plane has been designed to carry 175,000 pounds of military equipment. Mr. Kinder compared the size of the to McDonnell Douglas' DC-1But he noted the fuselage is larger and rounder. 7 0. the ability to operate from the more numerous small air fields abroad, the 7 will give the military more flexibility in where it can be stationed, said Mr. Kinder. The plane is extremely maneuver-abl- e on the ground, especially in confined spaces, he said. This is technology that we're used to seeing in air By having Fortewt Th planes," said Mr. Kinder. Its not a conventional airplane in the normal sense that youre accustomed to seeing coming in for a landing." U.S. Air Force plans call for acquisition of 210 through 1998. Press briefing papers from McDonnell Douglas show the initial aircraft construction is scheduled for 1987 with the first flight in 1990. Mr. Kinder quoted U.S. Air Force figures showing the 7 will save the government more than $16 billion in life cycle of the plane, the compared with any perceived alternatives. By the same token, we expect to be able to manufacture the airplane at a smaller cost by coming up here to Salt Lake City," continued Mr. Kinder. He later explained the savings will not come from lower wages paid to Salt Lake City workers, but by manufac locating some of the turing somewhere other than Long Beach where the company has high overhead costs because it has virtually run out of space to expand. Mr. Kinder said McDonnell Douglas plans to pay Salt Lake City workers whatever the competitive wages are." He added, From a personnel viewpoint, we're running out of people in the Los Angeles basin with the big aircraft-manufacturin- programs g that exist down there. And we expect to be able to train and use the people up here in Utah to alleviate our personnel problem." Mr. Kinder complimented Gov. Norm Bangerter and economic development officials under his direction for the aggressiveness they've shown in attracting McDonnell Douglas to Salt Lake City.

At Weber State College, several individuals were knocked off their feet by the wind, while several vehicles in a parking lot were damaged when n struck by a dumpster. Several store signs also were blown off mounts by the gale. In addition, icy roads caused 13 traffic accidents, one involving six vehicles, in West Jordan, Wednesday afternoon, the storm had appeared headed toward the Salt Lake Valley, but after crossing the state line from northern Nevada, it slanted to the southeast. The diversion largely spared the Salt Lake Valley. Draper received 3 inches of snow, but only a trace was reported north of that community. Near the Nevada border, the remote town of Ibapah, Tooele County, wind-blow- was buried under 9 inches of snow. Tooele and Grantsville received 6 to 8 inches, although only 2 inches fell at Dugway Proving Ground. The storm deposited 2 to 4 inches of snow in Utah County before increasing in intensity. The Weather Service reported accumulations of 8 inches at Salina and Clear Creek Canyon; 4 to 5 inches in Castle Dale, Emery County; 4 inches in Milford, Blanding and Hanksville; 3 to 4 inches in Richfield and 3 inches in Manti and Ephraim; and 2 inches in Price.

Pan-guitc- Mountains Log Record Highs The mountains were the place to go during January for warm weather close to home. Alta and Snowbird were warmer than Salt Lake that month. It was the warmest January on record at Snowbird and second warmest at Alta, said National Weather Service meteorologist William Alder. The average maximum temperature was 37.9 degrees Fahrenheit at Snowbird and 37.3 degrees at Alta. Salt Lake, on the other hand, came in at 37.0 degrees, thanks to the good old Wasatch Front inversion," Mr. Alder said. . The average January maximum temperature at both resorts is 29.4 degrees. The existing record at Alta was set in 1981, when the high reached an average of 39.5 degrees. which has shown declines for the past several months compared to year earlier figures, actually edged up in comparison to Janaury 1985, Mr. Sargent reported. "All in all, Utahs economy continued to follow a path of temperate growth, Mr. Sargent said. Recent good news regarding plant openings, reopening and expansions remains mitigated by layoffs, foreshadowed closures and current delays in the production of Utah's contribution to the space-shuttl- e program. Mr. Sargent also noted the final outcome of Gramm-Rudma- n appears cloudy. Federal jobs make up over 6 percent of Utahs non-faremployment, not to mention the many private sector jobs substained by federal contracts. However, no one is sure where or how hard the ax will fall." Officials Closer to Naming Grand Jury Prosecutors Continued From B-- l concerns about who will pay for the jury and potential conflicts of interest involving Mr. Snow and Mr. Keller advising the jury have yet to be resolved, Judge Fishier said. Nevertheless, Mr. Wilkinson and the judges are close to accord on those issues, Mr. Warner said. He said again that the Attorney Generals Office has no question about the competency of the lawyers the jury requested. It's not a matter of wanting different results. We just want to make sure we do it right. It's really more a matter of how and when rather than if. He said that the most important item resolved at the meeting was who had authority to appoint special prosecutors. Mr. Wilkinson agreed to appoint lawyers the grand jury requests. The law empowers the attorney general to hire special prosecutors if a grand jury asks but doesn't say that the jury can name candidates for the position.
