County Attorney Post (Continued from page 1) We should develop better programs to deter the repeating offender. Maintaining an effective working relationship with all law enforcement agencies. Police work is a very hard job with modest remuneration. The County Attorney should do his best to make that job easier. Recruiting and promoting staff lawyers on the basis of ability, not politics. Law enforcement is not a partisan activity. Furthermore, I believe lawyers working for the county should not have private practices. Their sole responsibility should be to the public. I will seek the funds necessary to make this goal possible. year old attorney holds bachelors, masters and juris doctor degrees from the University of Utah, having done graduate work in public admininstra-tio- n and economics in addition to his legal education. Mr. Avery is a former assistant and deputy attorney general, having served as counsel for the Utah Agencies in its battle for improved air service. He also represented the state industrial promotion division in transportation and tariff matters and was liaison between the attorney general and the legislature. In the latter capacity he had the responsibility for drafting proposed laws and reviewing them for compliance with the Constitution. The 41 Utah Democratic Women Take Part in Campaign Conference (Continued from page 1) turnout for this working conference certainly reflects the active interest among women in political roles which is at an all time high. The womens movement, the disarray of the Republican party, and the pressure to find new faces to run for political office are combining for political action in unprecedented numbers of American women. The conference program featured a series of workshops devoted to all aspects of political campaigning, led by officeholders and other political professionals in all phases of successful electioneering. The attendees were also addressed by Robert Strauss, chairman of the Democratic National Committee, and incumbent Democratic Senators up for election in 1974. Senators Frank Church of Idaho; Adlai Stevenson III of Illinois; Birch Bayh of Indiana and George McGovern of South Dakota. The Army wants to join you, says the ad slogans and the Station of Choice enlistment option to Fort Eustic, Va., is doing just that bringing the Army to the individual. Thirteen years before the Pilgrims landed in Massachusetts, Fort Eustis. formerly called Mulberry Island, was well known to Jamestown colonists. Ft. Eustis is now a peninsula of about 10 square miles of land and a reclaimed swamp. Ft. Eustis is the home of the Army Transportation Corps and the Army Transportation School. At the Transportation School, a well trained staff of instructors instill the fundamentals of marine and terminal service, railroad operation, aircraft maintenance, transportation movement, traffic management and the theory and doctrine of Army Transportation. Nearly 500 people have decided to enlist for Ft. Eustis by the Station of Choice program since it was initiated last year, according to Project Officer, Lt. Col. G. R. McNutt. Were looking for an individual who has not made up his mind yet about a career. Not every person wants to go to college after graduating from high school and in most cases he is not ready to commit himself to a career. Sen. Moss Votes for Special Star Show Minimum Wage Boost For Young Children Senator Frank E. Moss Utah has voted in favor of the conference report on the wage bill to set a minimum of $2.30 an hour. President Nixon vetoed a similar bill last year but Moss said he is expected to sign the new legislation into law ending the three year struggle between the Executive and the Congress over the provisions. S. 2747 would raise the minimum rate for most workers now covered by wage law to $2.00 in May, $2.10 in January of 75, and $2.30 in January of 76. The current minimum of $1.60 per hour. Federal Judge Ritter Urges Indians to Retain Attorney ported that after the meeting at the highest levels the Justice Department refused to honor the Judges request for a lawyer. Its more than a housekeeping detail, said the judge, its a fundamenta 1 matter involving due process of law. Here are interested persons, persons who have standing, whose inetrests are at stake, who are knocking at the door. They want in and theyre entitled to be in.

The remainder of the forum will consist of explanations by various specialists on income tax criminal law and other aspects of the impeachment question, as well as statements by various groups such as the American Civil Liberties Union and Utah Common Cause. Additionally, members of the audience will be able to ask questions of the panel. Dean Thurman emphasized the forum will be scholarly, objec-tativ- e and non partisan in its approach. It will largely be a discussion of procedure and will not treat the details of the case involving the president. Hopefully, he adds, it will serve "to clear up the considerable confusion on the part of the public concerning the whole issue.
