He said the firm operates two shoe stores out of the new ZCMI mall and another one near the former Burts. i He said potential competition from Keith Warshaw and Company (across the street) had nothing to do with the closure, and that he did not see downtown as a bad place to sell shoes. Harold Patrick, manager of the former Mode ODay store, (which sold womens apparel) said he had wanted to stay in the location but the owner of the property had other ideas. Patrick said he now has plans to move the store to Kansas City, but that the Utah manufacturer is planning to add more stores to its Utah chain. SIFJB5? Dear Editor: 1 read with interest' the article in your June 2nd Edition, entitled Are You a Chauvinist? I also noted with interest the announcement on page 5b by Prince, Langheinrich & Greer, a local brokerage firm is looking for good men. In the past several issues the firm was looking for several good men to fill positions. Women are capable of being competent account executives. There is no reason why such an announcement of positions are available should be directed to one sex. Sincerely, Brian M. Barnard 241 East Fifth South Salt Lake City, Utah 84111 Editor P.S.

I Pragmatic Dogmatics The Case for Binding Intra-Republica- Arbitration n BY Kent Shearer The termination of the 1976 presidential primaries finds the GOP in a much more precarious position than is its Democratic adversary. It is the purpose of this column to procedure suggest an ad hoc which will reduce, if not eliminate, the peril that party now confronts. Initially, however, the factual background should be examined. Although their New York convention may witness a flurry or two (likely over platform), the Democratic national ticket is set for this fall. It will consist of Jimmy Carter and the vice presidential nominee of Carters choice. That ticket will be backed by a generally united party and labor union leadership, starved by eight years away from the executive trough and intra-Republic- idealogically an abstemious following its McGovernite binge of 1972. Republicans have reason to envy their opposition, for the GOP presidential disarray is now nearly complete, and with prospects of becoming worse rather than better. The GOP front runner by an eye lash is the accidental incumbent, Gerald R. Ford. Had not Mr. Nixon and Mr. Agnew been forced from office, Mr. Ford would now be packing his bags, for he had intended to retire from the House of Representatives, where he was minority leader, at the end of this term. But for the trappings of incumbency bestowed upon him by the Nixon-Agnedisgrace, Ford never would have been considered a viable presidential candidate. Hot on Mr. Fords heels is former California Governer Ronald Reagan. Backed by a hard core of true believers, the Reagan rhetoric has undeniable appeal to regular Republicans: including a number of delegates formally for Ford. So the GOP situation is akin to that in which a powder keg is in the midst of a burning warehouse. Already, the Ford camp understandably unsettled - has attempted to brand Reagan a warmonger. The Reagan rank and file is no better. A Reagan supporter at the San Juan county convention called Ford a Communist tool. As the strains of the race increase, even more irresponsible name-callin- g w -- may be anticipated. Under these circumstances, the contesting camps badly need a supervisory authority which can: (1) receive complaints from either side; (2) hold summary adversary hearings on those complaints; and (3) issue prompt advisory opinions thereon. Such a body would be comprised of two persons selected by Ford, two by Reagan and one chosen by those four. Expenses of the candidates designees would be assumed by their appointing authorities; those of the neutral member by the Republican National Committee. Ford and Reagan would agree in advance to be bound by the opinions issued; for instance, were a pamphlet found objectionable, it would be withdrawn. Hopefully, the mere existence of an ad hoc 1976 arbitration panel would curb inclinations toward excess. One would judge that charges known to be subject to sanction would be more carefully weighed than those made in an atmosphere of utter anarchy. It might provide a procedure by which either Ford or Reagan could fall heir to the kind of party unity Carter is going to enjoy. intra-Republic- an x |
