THE SEARCH IS A nationwide search for three Indian teenagers to star in a new million dollar movie bow. underway bya Salt Lake City movie producer. "We're looking for two Indian boys and one Indian girl between the ages of 15 and 17 to play lead roles in the movie, "Joe Panther, which will be filmed in Florida in April," announced producer Stewart H. Beveridge. Beveridge, president of Artists Creation and Associate of Salt Lake City, said the search for the possible stars would be throughout the United States. "Particularly, he added, "are we interested in those areas where there's a large population of Indians, such as near Roosevelt in eastern Utah. While previous acting experience is not necessary, Beveridge said he is looking for young Indians with outgoing personalities who can project themselves. "They must be lean, bright, and be normal average young people that kids can relate to." Star of the movie will be a young Indian to play the role of Joe Panter, a Seminole who lives in the Everglades in Florida. Although of only average physical ability, Joe Panter had superb inner qualities, such as courage, perseverance, and sensitivity, said Beveridge. "This is the type of young man we are looking for to star in this role. Supporting roles are for the parts of Tiger Tail Joe Panther's best friend; and for Jenny Rainbow, his girl friend. Tiger Tail is more athletic than Joe, and Jenny is a beautiful Indian Girl but both possess strong inner qualities to make for an uplifting family-oriente- d movie, said Beveridge.

Another response to the questionnaire shows that inflation continues to be the chief concern of most Utahns. Asked to list the major sources of inflation in household budgets, most respondents said food was the number one problem area. Surprisingly, utilities were listed second, while the number three and four positions respectively were the cost of gasoline and taxes. Moss said he is grateful that Utahns responded so well in presenting their views to him. This kind of communication between a Senator and his constituents is vital in determining the depth of feeling on our social end ecnomic issues. Bar supports malpractice report The Utah State Bar supports the report of the Governor's Malpractice Insurance Evaluation Committee (The Rosenblatt Committee) issued on Friday, November 28, 1975. The ' measured and responsible of the Rosenblatt recommendations Committee certainly deserve the careful consideration of the Legislature. The recommendations for the elimination of the ad damnum clause, required notice prior to filing a medical malpractice suit, insurance problem without, on a panie basis, uprooting long standing procedures and traditions The Bar endorses the proposal to shoten , the applicable statures of limitations. It is believed that shortening of the statute, particularly as to minors, will reduce the need . for insurance companies to maintain reserves for unreasonably long periods. ... . The Barjilao supports the specific strengthened peer review for doctors and other health care providers and the of an in creation depth, study commission. The Governor's Committee perceives a vital difference between the situation in Utah and that in some other states. The report recognizes that the insurance problem in Utah has not reached the crisis proportions of states such as California. In Utah, unlike some of the larger states, we still have time to undertake an in depth study and arrive at reasoned and carefully thought out solutions while, in the interium, doing what can be done to make the climate more hospitable for the insurance industry. The Bar agrees with the Committee that to adopt panic legislation which might well contain ill advised or unconstitutional provisions is no solution at all but merely an aggravation of the existing problem. In out Bar studies of the problem, we have found that excessive verdicts are not a real problem in the State of Utah. Unlike California, which now averages a million dollar verdict almost weekly, there has never been a malpractice verdict in Utah which exceeded $350,000. We attribute this to the reasonableness and traditional conservatism of Utah juries. Under the conditions in Utah, the imposition of a limitation on awards would not appreciably alleviate the malpractice insurance problem but would seriously limit the rights of injured persons. , 100's Of Windshields presiding overseer of the Roosevelt congreation of Jehovah's Witnesses.

Moss. When asked whether the economic picture would improve or worsen in the next six months, a clear majority of those whose response indicated that they believed it would worsen. The questionnaire, which contained 19' questions on vairous current issues, was sent out in August as a routine questionnaire. It was expected that the response would also be routine. Instead, Moss office was swamped with the largest known return on a questionnaire for any Senator. We have not tabulated the results of 55,000 questionaires, Moss said, and the responces are running 2 that the nation's economy will worsen in the next six months rather than improve. Although we have several thousand questionnaires yet to tabulate, it seems obvious that most Utahns do not believe we are on the road to economic recovery.' Moss said the significant fact about the response to the economic question is that it reflects the feelings of Utahns during In Stock Witnesses from Malawi who fled as refugees to Mozambique in 1972 because of severe persecution, were forced to return to Malawi and now experience brutal persecution again. All of this is because of their refusal to join a political party." Because no one will accept them, many Witnesses have been forced to wander in the cities by day. sleeping in nearby forests at night. Upward of 4,800 fled toneighboring Zambia, but reports just received say they were repatrated to Malawi by force. Dr. H. Kamuzu Banda, Life President of Malawi recently instructed the Malawi police to round up adult Jehovah's Witnesses and pul them in detention camps. The children are being left behind either to stay with relatives or fend for themselves. The government order applies this even to nursing infants. The police have ruthlessly executed this order. Whole congregations of Witnesses, men and women, have been rounded up and put in detention to further pressure them into buying political party membership cards and to prevent flight from Malawi, according to the latest reports.
