SALT LAKE CITY, UTA- H- FRIDAY, MARCH 26, 1976 Attorney Creer Announces Gubernatorial Candidacy John Preston Creer kicked off his campaign for governor Tuesday, stating our challenge is to maintain the integrity of our state. Salt Mr. Creer, a the is to first Lake attorney, bid for the formally enter his Democratic gubernatorial nomination to replace Gov. Calvin L. Rampton. I believe Utah should not be a no growth state, but rather, enjoy orderly growth. The orderly, and efficient development of out state and wise use of our energy resources in an environmentally sound manner is of critical importance, he added. He made his remarks to news reports and supporters crowded into a Hotel Utah meeting room for the announcement of his candidacy, which will likely have to be determined in a party convention and primary election elimination of other contenders. Mr. Creer added, There may be quite a crowd. In response to questions, he said he believes women shouldnt be deprived in any way of equality, but, he amplified, the federal Equal Rights Amendment could provide a tremendous aggravation in the court system. He said he favors construction of the Kaiparowits coal-fire- d power plant as long as the development meets state pollution restrictions. Mr. Creer added, We cant put a black haze over . John Preston Creer Bryce Canyon or Lake Powell... but I cant see how we can keep out such developments with our vast resources indefinitely. Mr. Creer was a principal in a committee two years ago supporting passage of the state land use planning law which was defeated in a referendum. He said he accepted the verdict of the people on that specific question and would let the matter rest. However, that doesnt imply that local, governments should not be excerdsing (continued on page 4) Moss Protests Possible Shut-Dow- n of WALOSH where was entirely capricious and the kind of government action that undermines confidence in the rationality and integrity of government agencies.. In a letter to Matthews, Moss said plans to shut down the laboratory are directly contrary to a notice published in the Federal Register of December 11, 1975, to assurances received by his office from NIOSH just last week, and to the recent history of expansion of the laboratory. A new facility, built entirely to the specifications of the laboratory, was completed last April, he said, and the staff has steadily increased. He added that the notice in the December Federal Register stated that the laboratory would have new responsibilities in agricultural and non-comining safety and health and accidental trauma in other industries. As recently as last week I was told that there had been no change in those plans, he said. Moss said the announcement that the expansion notice has been rescinded and that really all of the Four-Ye- ar 1-2- 15 Dispute Goes On The controversy over the sale of artist Arnold Fribergs Holladay property to the state to make way has heated for construction of up on two fronts. A 1972 agreement allowing the sale of part of the property to the state highway department surfaced in Third District court. Gov. Calvin L. Rampton replaced committee head Melvin Smith with Milt Weilenmann, development Services director. Hamptons action reported was based on an effort by the committee to have the Friberg property placed on the National Register of Historic Sites. Rampton said the committees effort was a ploy by citizens groups in Holladay to block the construction of In addition, Third District Court files show that a stipulation was signed three years ago by Fribergs attorney entitling the Utah Department of Transportation to purchase part of the Friberg land construction. for The stipulation says that Friberg would be allowed to remain on his until Sept. 1, 1973, land rent-fre- e and thereafter on a monthly basis until road construction began. But construction did not begin, consaid Coleman, because struction was held up by a lawsuit in Federal Court involving an Environmental Impact Statement. Rampton signed an amended order taking away the committeees authority to send nominations to the National Register of Historic Sites without the governor's concurrence. The order said that no property will be placed on the state register or nominated for the national register unless the owners consent is given in writing. Any state agency proposing construction that would destroy or materially affect any building or property on the state register must notify the committee, the order said. 15 15 New Law Opens Criminal Record to Individuals CAPs Future Uncertain Salt Lake City officials this week said they were not impressed by a public hearing held Monday night to discuss the future of the Community Action Program. The hearing was held by the federal Community Services (CSA) in response to requests from local citizens and CAP officials who claimed the city was too slow in deciding what to do with CAP. Several local residents and CAP project participants attended the hearing and told Wayne W. Waldo, CSA attorney, the community supports the retention of CAP as a private nonprofit organization. The city has been considering withdrawing from the private CAP structure and establishing its own CAP. Mayor Ted L. Wilson said city commissioners decided not to attend the hearing because we felt there was no input we could provide that we havent already Other commissioners provided. expressed anger that federal officials came into a local municipality to hold a hearing on structures which are supposedly under local control. Wilson said he plans to support a 7 Mayor Ted Wilson performance audit of the CAP function to determine exactly what the federally funded $1.8 million program accomplishes and what its goals are. We re;.d a copy of their goals outlined in a paper and found statements to the effect that their goal is to support the poor of the community. But the goals are so general that it's impossible to say exactly what theyre trying to accomplish, the mayor said. TODAYS EDITORIAL r Growing Up In America We begin to age at birth.
