"In you we see the human dimension of patriotism and the unspoken demands of the way of life we have chosen," he said. "You, of all of us in America today, know the terrible price of freedom." Capling was born July 15.1930, in Rosetown. Saskatchewan, Canada. He attended high school in Bad Axe. and went on to Michigan State University and the University of New Mexico.

(AP Wirephoto) fatal attack aftermath Pet dogs roam at will, Humane official warns DENVER (UPI) Pet dogs, similar to three suspected of killing a 6-year-old girl during the weekend, are ignored by owners and roam at will in many Rocky Mountain com- minuties, according to an official of the American Humane Assciation. "It's not the wild dog," said Roger Van Tyne, an AHA consultant. "Everybody gets the impression it is a pack of wild 1 dogs. In most cases, it is a pet dog that no one has controlled.

This is something a lot of people don't realize." Tamara R. Newton was walking to the home of a playmate Sunday in Breckenridge, west of Denver, when she was attacked by dogs. Investigators said the animals tore the child's jugular vein, ripped her clothes and bit her repeatedly. The three dogs suspected of the attack were a St. Bernard, a Husky-German shepherd and a Norwegian Elkhound.

All three were impounded for saliva tests and traces of blood were found on the animals after the attack, authorities said. Investigators said the child was walking to the home of Susan Consiglio and Karen Gavaghan, who owned the dogs, to play with Mrs. Consiglio's daughter, when attacked. Another resident of the home said Mrs. Consiglio's daughter "plays with them all the time.

They're like lap dogs." Van Tyne said Breckenridge and other mountain communities had problems with unleased dogs because "there's not enough funding for animal control. They haven't been willing to put up the money." He said attacks on elk and deer were not Uncommon. He said a crust formed on snow during spring and "the dogs can run across the crust and attack the elk."

Passage of the bill came on preliminary reading a nearly two hours of debate. Approval came largely on a partisan basis with most Republicans supporting the bill and most Democrats opposed.

Rep. Charles Howe. D- Boulder, said he was appalled at the fact voting on the bill -calling for a 5 per cent reduction in state employment by July 1979 was split along party lines. "This is legislative hypocrisy of the worst kind," Howe said. "I hope we don't take this irresponsible kind of approach.

It's sometimes tough to cast a responsible vote, and 1 think that's what's at issue here."

The number of personnel increased from 13,704 to 54,101 in the same period. In addition to reducing the state payroll roster, the bill also would limit future state employment to a percentage of the population. "This bill is rather simple in concept, but it does have some far-reaching impact," admitted Swalm, a real estate investor and manager. The bill bars the dismissal of any state employes to reach the lower figure.

The estimated 2,750 lost jobs would come through attrition persons who quit their jobs for various reasons and retirement. Swalm said his bill also would limit the number of employes in higher education to a percentage of the student popuation. According to Swalm, the state payroll as of November 197G showed 55,732 employes at a monthly salary of nearly S47.7 million. He said about 37.000 of the employes were involved in higher education. Although budget officials have estimated Swalm's bill would save $4 million the first year, the GOP lawmaker said 5 per cent of the current amount of money budgeted for salaries would amount to more than S28 million.
