The pamphlet was formulated to encourage cooperation and set standards for reporting of crime and court news among newsmen and public officials. It was conceived in partial response to recent U. S. Supreme Court decisions which had the effect of throwing out convictions of some defendants in criminal cases because of excesl sive publicity.

James R. Turnbull, executive of the American vice-presiden- t Plywood Assn., Tacoma, Wash., reviewed government actions which had influenced prices during the second day of hearings before the Senate committee on Banking and Currency. Ted Goodson, general manger of Lacey Plywood, a worker-ownecooperative mill in Washington state, and also testifying for the plywood industry, said tht such government policies can mean bankruptcy for some of d us if not altered. Turnbull, appearing with a panel of forest product industry officials, identified on again, off again availability of mortgage funds; hand to mouth financing of Forest Service activities; box car shortages; and operation of the Jones Act as the principal actions contributing to the problem. He asked studies in each of the areas. Turnbull' explained that todays plywood prices had risen to their present high levels from the lowest levels in history in 1966 and 1967. He likened recent increases to a man using a 15 foot ladder to climb out of a 10 foot hole. When he reaches the top is he 15 feet up or only five? he said. Goodson told the committee that despite price gains, some manufacturers still face danger of bankruptcy. If materal costs rise or even remain fixed, and prices should decline sharply, Goodson predicted some mills might go under. Goodson blamed a federal policy of managed scarcity for much of the problem. He told the committee that Forest Serv- - James C. Taylor James C. Taylor, a native of Preston, Idaho, has been elected vice president of commercial operations of Utah Power & Light Co., by the utility's board of . directors. In making the announcement UP&L President E. Allan Hunter said Mr. Taylor wil be responsible for all division operations in Utah, Idaho, Wyoming, and Colorado. His duty will include operation and maintenance of all distribution facilities, division accounting, sales and marketing and application and design of rates. It is the people under his direction who most frequently have direct contact with our customers, Mr. Hunter said. Mr. Taylor joined UP&L in The $4 million in added appropriations for higher education does not include any rise in spending which will result from higher tuition fees, etc. Appropriations and commitments from the general fund and the uniform school fund will total just over $199 million next year, compared with resources estimated at just under $199 million, the Foundation said. The commitment total, however, does not include $6,278,000 which was appropriated from the general fund for building purposes on condition that if such a sum is not available from the general fund, it will be borrowed from the state treasurer or other agencies having control of public funds. Adding this the budget was balanced by relying on rather optimistic revenue projections and a one time windfall of $5 million by accelerating employers income withholding payments during the coming year. Despite all the controversy pertaining to tax increases during the season, the only major increases actually enacted were a one cent increase in the sales tax and a one cent per gallon boost in the gasoline tax, the report noted. Unquestionably the key meas- ure in balancing the budget was the one per cent increase in the sales tax. This action recommended by the Governor in his budget message is expected to provide an additional $22 million during the coming year. A proposition to raise the local option sales tax from one half to one per cent was rejected by the Legislature .As a result the state sales tax rate beginning on April 1 will be 4 per cent plus the 'local tax of one half per cent. In a summary of problems facing the Legislature, the Foundation analysts had this to say: Despite strong taxpayer re- brings the authorized expenditure total to $205,358,000. There may be another $8.1 million available for the general fund to be used for building purposes.
