for the fifth straight year, earlier in the we'-'k asked for $3.3 million to fund public school kindergartens on a statewide basis. "For the fifth straight year the governor has asked for kindergartens." said Sen. Phil Bait. Wilder, majority floor leader. think he will get turned down for the fifth year in a row, but we'll see." Bait was one of four legislative leaders appearing on a panel during the Idaho Newspaper Association convention in Boise.

A few minutes later. State Republican Chairman Robert Linville of Boise called a news conference, mainly lo lambasle the governor's budget proposals. Linville was asked whether Republicans, who have been a i responsible dealh of kindergarten bills in recent years, would support the proposal this year. "Yes. Republicans will sup port i a this year and I hope it will pas 1 he said.

But later Linville told a newsman he has not discussed the matter i GOP legislators ml didn't really know whether they would vote for kindergartens. "I personally am in favor of kindergartens," he said, "and I hope our party will support them but I haven't sounded oul i i i a party members." Kindergarten bills have died in the House in recem sessions. Senate Republicans say the issue probably would pass lhat chamber if it gels through Ihe House. i i said the governor's budgel proposals were "inadequate." a "mere pittance" and "serve only to assure the good headlines so important lo every polilieian." The GOP spokesman said the only a i a relief ivould be returning money to people in the form in which they paid them. He suggested culling the stale sales tax one-half per cent and i a i income a credit for food purchases.

This would bring SI 1 million to S13 million dollars in meaningful tax relief, he said. Linville said Republicans also oppose the governor's proposals to spend most of an expected budget surplus on public works projects. "I'm critical of public works projects in general." Linville said. "Highway construction simply does not employ large numbers of workers, probably not more than 20 per mile or so." he said. "An $18.2 i i public works program, in which much of the money may even go to out-of-state contractors, would be fiscally extravagant," he said.

"It represents excessive taxation over and above established revenue requirements to pav for state services and programs." Linville called the governor's budget proposals disappointing and said Andrus suggestions on raising the salaries of state workers are out of line considering current economic conditions. House Minority Leader Rep. Patricia McDermott. D-Pocatello. told the newspapermen this year's kindergarten bill should pass.

"The bill this year ought to eliminate a lot of the criticism of previous years." she said because it allows parents to decide whether their children will allend. She said the words "land-use planning" generate a lot of unnecessary fear and-fright. She s-aid such legislation "will do mose things necessary to preserve the Idaho way of life. House Majority Leader Hep. Walter Little.

K-Sew Plymouth, suggested a 10 per cent cut in state income lax rates for 19i4. would put $10 million right back into the economy, he said. "That would be the quickest way to grant tax relief." Little said the stale easily can wind up the current fiscal year with a surplus over S25 million if economy doesn't sharply downward. Robert Kinghorn. D- Pocatello.

supported A proposals to build more roads and public buildings to offset increasing unemployment. "This would effectively attack the serious problems we have with an unemployment rate of 6.4 per cent." he said -This is an issue that should be given irnmetfjle attention." Kinghorr. predicted some form of public employes collective bargaining bill would pass. "Such a law is becoming more and more necessary as time goes on. We need some sort of guidelines for elected officials and workers to follow." Batt drew a cheer from the newspaper editors when he said.

"Thank God we live Idaho. Our economy is strong compared with other states." Batt said the legislature is in a "can't win" situation with the Sunshine laws. Gef The Message?

Five gun retailers reported no increases over seasonal expectations in handgun sales since New Year's Day. One downtown gun shop, however, reported a slight sales jump.

"We have had maybe a little increase." said a manager at Pocatello Gun Shop who requested to remain nameless. The city's rash of armed thefts is probably one cause of increased gun sales, she said. "People are buying more guns just to have on hand." HANDGUN SA1.KS HAVE not been significant since Jan. 1 al Sam's Loan or at Gelly's. Lee Aiken's.

or Sunset sporting goods stores. At Grand Central Drug, firearms sales are about normal, although handguns are no longer sold because of non-availability. Sam's Loan co-owner Marvin Hayden said he has sold "about a dozen" handguns since Jan. 1, "and most of those were to police officers." Aiken estimated his store has sold about 20 pistols since the first of the year. Sunset manager Doug Thornock said that store had retailed about 12 to 15.

while at the Pocatello Gun Shop "about 25" have been sold. Managers at Getty's said they have no idea exactly how- many, but there's not been an increase." Since Jan. 1, 10 armed robberies have occurred in Pocalello. the most recent one Friday night at Stinker Service on Highway 30 W. Bannock.County sheriff's deputies said two gunmen--one wielding a pistol, the other a rifle- were involved.

City police Wednesday arrested a 15-year-old boy in connection with the city's ninth robbery of the New Year which occurred that day at Sav-Mor Market. The remaining robberies remain unsolved, although police believe the same persons may be responsible for one or more of them. LAST NIGHT, the city's eight--and most unique--robbery of 1975 occurred at downtown Pocalello's Kwikee Mart. The robbers, a man and a woman, brandished not theAisual snub-nose revolver, but a knife, to intimidate a store clerk to hand over about S100 cash. Then, as they fled in a pickup truck, the robbers were fired at twice by the pistol- wielding clerk.

The clerk's attempt lo gun down the thieves drew Robbers Hit Station, Get Only Wallet, $3 The Pl'C said il found nothing in Idaho Irrigation Pumper's petition to justify a new hearing on the authorized increase in revenues.

I A A S40.000 study funded by the Atomic Energy Commission is planned at Washington Slate University to reduce the potential of health hazards from radioactive waste releases. Dr. John Sheppard, director of the project, said "As more nuclear power plants go into operation more a i a i wastes will be generated and the number of accidental releases of hazardous material during storage will likely oc- Sheppard said Ihe study will center on the diffusion of radioactive wastes in different types of soils.

This will give officials more information on where new- power plants and radioactive fuel processing and storage facilities should be located, he said. Stinker Service on Highway 30-VY Friday night became the latest Pocatello business to be hit by armed robbers. Attendant Jack Farley told Bannock County i deputies he finished putting the day's receipts in the safe about 9:30 p.m. when two armed men entered the office demanding money. Farley told them he had no key to unlock the safe, so he offered them his wallet.

One of the robbers grabbed the wallet and then struck Farley in the back of the head with a pistol. The wallet contained S3. Farley was treated at a local hospital for cuts. A fire broke out in the garage of the Frank Gray home at 274 Jefferson shortly a'ter 8 p.m. Friday.

Officials said the fire apparently started from a heat lamp placed in the garage to keep a dog warm. Flames were confined lo Ihe garage, but extensive smoke damage was reported lo the home. No dollar estimate of damage has been made. A juvenile was arrested by city police Friday afternoon in connection with the theft earlier in the day of Sl.OOt from Ihe Bannock County Assessor's office, A clerk in the office said she was preparing the morning receipts about 11 a.m. when she had to leave her desk to help some people who needed license plates.

She said when she returned to her desk the money was gone. Officers were able to track down a youth suspected in the theft and found the money in his possession. He is being held in the Bannock County Jail on a grand larceny charge pending a hearing in i Monday. Bruce Pyealt, 444 S. Tenth, reported Friday his S500 Ski-doo was stolen from his backyard.

Pyeatt said thieves cut a chain locking the snowmobile to a Irailer. A S40 ski rack was stolen early Friday from a car belonging lo Kathy McLaren. 1225 S. Fifth. Richard Keller, 150 E.

They also may be mis-identified as robbers by police- officers arriving on the scene.

"We don't encourage apprehension by anyone but a police officer." said Jensen. "Let us catch them, that's what we're getting paid for." Most often when a store clerk tempts to pull a gun on a robber, the robber ends up over- powering the clerk and taking the gun away, according to' Jensen, "and that just compounds the problem." THE CITY'S OTHER 1975 hold-ups have occurred at the-Thunderbird Car Wash and the K-Way Market, both on 9- OHM Cleaners, Red Carpet Car Wash, and Taco John's, all' on Jan.7; Paul's Market on Jan. and Robo Car Wash on Jan. 3. In each of these, a lone male robber used a pistol tor" pull off the job.

Just how well armed are Pocatellans? Although record exists, most gun dealers and police officers agree virtually everyone in Pocatello has a gun of one sort or another. Gun dealers also took the opportunity of a Journal terview to reveal their opposition to the federal Gun Control. Act of 1968 and other firearms control laws that may be enacted. "Gun laws do not stop crime," noted Hayden. "The 1 restrictions should not be on the purchaser of a gun, they should beon Ihe criminal." In the past 25 years, "only three" guns purhcased at Sam's Loan have been used in violent crimes, according to Hayden.

"People who are going to use guns in a crime steal them, anyway." said Aiken. "So what good is registration?" The federal" Gun Control Act requires presentation of iden- tification and completion of a brief firearms transaction form by the purchaser. The form, with serial number of the gun. is kept on file at the store of purchase. A PURCHASER'S SIGNATURE on a firearms saction form supposedly indicates he has correctly com- pleted sections asking about his criminal record, volvemenl with drugs, military other data could prevent him from legally obtaining a gun.

But, as Pocatello gun retailers pointed out, nothing but the risk being discovered and prosecuted stops an illegal purchaser 1 entering false information on the form to obtain a gtnv-. To buy a gun in Pocatello does not even require a great deal of money. Although every gun dealer contacted'" declined to admit selling "Saturday night specials," have at one time sold handguns for less than $20.
