In a statement, Mr. Moll said, My many years of association with the news media have given me a great amount of insight into local government. I have witnessed occurences and experienced situations which directly - affected, but never reached, the public. I am deeply concerned over the stated need for additional and higher taxes.

Rampton this week declined to call a special session of the Utah Legislature to correct an oversight but he suggested a way the county attorneys office might remedy the oversight temporarily. The session had been requested by the County Attorneys office because the Legislature had failed to make obtaining money under false pretenses against the law when it changed the law at the last session to take care of credit card abuses. In a letter to Joseph P. McCarthy Jr., chief criminal deputy, the governor said: I am certain that it was not the intention of the Legislature to remove from the statutes of the state the prohibition against obtaining money by false pretenses, the governor told Mr. McCarthy. It is unfortunate that in re- vising the act the term money' was left out, he said. However, the amended act does include the term property which appears to me should be broad enough to cover money. Apparently one of the lower courts has ruled otherwise. The governor was referring to a case in Salt Lake City in which charges against a man were dismissed last week by City Judge Maurice D. Jones on the basis of the legal flaw. As I understand the Rules of Civil Procedure, the state has the right of appeal in a dismissal of this type and I would suggest you avail yourself of this right, the governor said. Before I would want to consider calling a special session of the Legislature I would like 'a determination by the Supreme Court.
