Rampton this week appeared before two congressional subcommittees seeking cash help for jobs. The governor spent one morning before the committee on the House of Education, and Labor for health and welfare legislation. At the Labor Committee hearing which handles the annual budget for the department the governor appealed for an increase in funds for this fiscal the governors conference Gov. Rampton said that they had recommended a $2.9 billion program and noted that figure exceeds both the amount allowed by the House and recommended by the administration. If any item needs attention is it for the freedom to address local manpower needs as we perceive them, the governor i i said. believe we in Utah can 'peak to the need for flexability between training and public employment as much as can any state. It all relates to energy. It has not been a year ago that we suffered severe threats to our urist industry because of gasoline shortage and many of us vere looking for public service employment as a means for putting dislocated employees to work. Now of course that aspect of our economy seem to be righting itself and we are now being caught up in an energy development boom that is likely to present just the opposite prob-- i lem . . . how to find enough skilled workers. I year to carry out a comprehensive manpower program. The governor told the committees We governors worked long and hard in support of comprehensive manpower legislation. We wanted the several pieces of manpower legislation to be consolidated to the extent they could be, and we wanted decisions regarding programs authorized by such legislation to be returned to state and local units of general government insofar as that was possible. When asked if any kind of proposal had been drawn up by Governor Cuts Budget 3 Percent Reduction In State Spending (Continued from page 1) in state spending is that he is required to order the cutback since the Utah Constitution forbids deficit spending in the state. This is only the third time that the governor has had to order cutbacks in spending during his nine years as governor. Some of the exemptions from the three percent cutback in spending is; The appropriations to the State Board of Bonding Commissioners to cover payment of principal, interest and service changes on outstanding state bonds. The appropriations to counties, cities and towns from THE SALT LAKE TIMES liquor control earning.

Rep. Wayne Owens is urging Utah Attorney General Vernon Romney to protect Utahs interests with respect to the Kaiparo-wit- s Power Project. think it would be a big surprise for most Utahns to learn that Utah hasnt been guaranteed a single watt of electrical power from the Kaiparowits Owens said. Power Plant, Ninety-tw- o percent of the is power already allocated to uses, and the Southern California and Arizona private power companies have thus far refused to allow Utah concerns to bid for the remaining power. In a letter to Romney, Owens I out-of-sta- te ol Dudley E. Faver, Regional Administrator of Region VIII Federal Energy Administration. Denver, Colorado, announced that public hearings will be conducted in Denver, August 1974, on Project Independence. Region VIII comprises the states of Colorado, Utah. Wyoming. Montana, North Dakota, and South Dakota. Mr. John C. Sawhill, Federal Energy Administrator, Washington, D.C., has stated that public hearings will be conducted in key regional cities and that Denver has been chosen as the lead city. Project Independence is the main thrust of President Nixon relating to the energy situation. Its two main themes are to conserve our current supplies of energy and to develop new resources in order to make the United States more by the 1980s. The FEA is responsible for coordinating this program and developing the blueprint to be presented to the President by November 1, 1974. The hearings will be held in the Post Office Auditorium (Room 269), 1823 Stout Street, 1974. OpDenver, August to be availwill portunity testify to all able energy industry environmental representatives, and public consumers, groups, officials. Times for the hearings will be 9:00 A.M. to noon; 1:15 6-- 9, sub-nilte- . said, The antitrust implications of the joint ownership formula for allocating power and the apparent refusal to permit nonconsortium members to bid for the power should be carefully explored by your office. Owens further said, If there is a joint refusal to sell power to Utahs distribution companies, serious antitrust issues may be raised. The project will supply badly needed electric energy and give an economic boost to Southern Utah, remarged Owens. But if Utah is expected to incur the costs, environmental and other, which accompany Kaiparowitts, the state should receive its fair share of the power itself.
