Show THE SALT LAKE TIMES FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 15, 1974 Page Eight Small Business Act to Provide Low Interest Backed by Owens Rep. Wayne Owens is a bill to amend the Small Business Act to provide low interest to small businesses which have been hurt by the energy ng shortage. The proposal will allow the Small Business Administration to make or refinance loans to companies which are directly and perilously affected by the energy shortage. These will carry a lower interest rate than the prevailing rate charged by banks to small businesses, a rate of 6.125 per cent for the fiscal year. Forecasts on the economic effects of the energy shortage range from bottlenecks in certain industries to a full blown recession. While we all hope that the economic dislocation can be minimized, its clear that small businesses and their workers will bear the brunt of them. The pattern was established last year as independent gasoline retailers were shut down in the first rumblings of the energy shortage. Hopefully most businesses will survive the energy crisis with only temporary cutbacks or inconveniences, but the small businesses which can least afford the current uncertainty are most affected by delayed sales and cancelled orders as consumers and businesses try to sort out the impact of the energy shortage on their own particular situations. Owens recently held a Public Legislative Forum on Small Businesses in Salt Lake City, at which small businessmen discussed their problems and concerns. He said that the idea for this legislation was proposed to him by Governor Rampton last week in Salt Lake City. Howe Announces Candidacy For Congress from 2nd District (Continued from page 1) people of Utah in the Second Congressional District and herewith announce my candidacy for the Democratic nomination to that position. I pledge a commitment to identify with those I represent as common, ordinary, U. S. taxpayers to find out why the richest nation on earth must be embarrassed and economically humiliated by the rampant and run away inflation spiral that threatens our very security as a nation. I pledge a commitment to take these steps within the power of this government to move this nation from a near palarlysis condition over an energy crisis to a position of independence from those who would destroy this nation, within and abroad, for selfish gain. I pledge a commitment to work for a restoration of the rightful balance between federal, state and local governments, each of which has a role to play in our system, without threat or intimidation for the other. I have seen the inner workings of all of these levels of activity in my assignments with local city and county governments, state and regional governments and on the national scene as well. I pledge that I will do all within my power to establish a reasonable balance between these levels of activity.

The daring paramedics portrayed in the weekly TV show Emergency will soon have nothing over a similarly trained squad of Salt Lake firemen. Nineteen paramedic trainees selected from volunteer candidates all from the Salt Lake City and County Fire Departments, will undergo five months of specialized training in Los Angeles. The intensive training course is the same one given to L.A. paramedics on whom the TV series is based. The training, which will be conducted by the LA County Fire Department under Dr. Walter Graff, Clinical Professor of Medicine, is being financed by a $77,000 grant from Intermountain Regional Medical Program.

Albert nt personal habit, character, knowledge and desires are those that would enable me to be a statesman. Because I believe in the divine nature of our constitution I feel that it is my duty to volunteer my services, knowledge and strength of character to my country, to our country. I pledge to you my sacred honor that I will uphold the constitution of the United States, the ideals and standards that have made America a great nation, one that we can all be proud of. My interest in political issues goes back to the time when I was an Eagle scout, the same time period I was a Salt Lake Tribune carrier salesman and read the news (early 1940s) I delivered so early in the morning. I found as a young man that if I expected to soar with the eagles in the morning I couldnt hoot with the owls at night. I was very much aware of significant historical developments as they burst across the front page of the newspapers. This interest has continued over the years. In my doctoral studies at New York University I selected political economy as one of my areas of study. Through the encouragement of colleagues and family I find myself now entering the senatorial race to represent the people of Utah in the United States Senate. My background and actions are without political tarnish or blemish and that is what the voter will require this November. This is the year that will go down in history as the turning point for a return of dignity, integrity and honor to the entire political process because the people will have increased their interest in political activity for their own self interest with the silent majority awakening to the responsibilities. There is no question in my mind relative to the importance of this campaign and the divine role that America has yet to play in world events. Only time will tell how much work must be done to return America to her rightful course. I have faith in you, I believe in the people of Utah, I know that when people really understand true basic principles and concepts they make right decisions. y dertaken.
