We hope we can 'sell' in much the same way as Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen did." Sheen, who died in 1979, hosted "The Bishop Sheen Program" in the 1960s and won an Emmy Award for his TV program, "Life is Worth Liv-ing." The architect for the building is Blanton and George G. Codd Construction Co. Inc.

is the contractor. The financing is through a limited partnership agreement between the diocese and HSL Properties Inc. The Federal Communications Commission granted a permit to the diocese in March to construct and operate the commercial UHF station on Channel 18.

By Ann M. Norton The Arizona Dally Star The nation's first commercial TV station to be owned and operated by a Roman Catholic diocese was launched yesterday morning on a vacant lot at 1855 N. Sixth Ave. The Most Rev. Manuel D.

Moreno, bishop of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Tucson; Sam Lena, chairman of the Pima County Board of Supervisors; Tucson Vice Mayor Tom Volgy; and Czarina Lopez of HSL Properties Inc. tapped an 8-foot copper grounding rod into the soil to mark the start of construction of the building that will house KDTU-TV, Channel 18. Construction on the $1.3 million, building to house offices and studios is to begin within a few weeks, said Robert L. Nord-meyer, the station's general manager. The 55-kilowatt station to be the most powerful local TV signal is expected to go on the air in late September with 10 to 12 hours of daily programming, he said.

The building will also house the diocesan newspaper, Arizona Catholic Lifetime; and the diocese's Bureau of Information, which will share wire services, typesetting and an art department. Moreno said the basic premise of the station is "that it must break out of the traditional role, and that it must establish a new pattern for TV viewing for all people, wherever our signal will reach." The diocese wants the new station to be a communications link between the church and the entire community, providing good entertainment, education, and enhanced relationships between different peoples, he said. "We have a great hope that the concerns of Native Americans and the Hispanic community be appreciated along with all aspects of the community," he said. "Of course, the religious and evangelistic message we're preaching will be able to be carried by this relevant medium," the bishop said. But unlike some of the "hard-sell" religious television evangelism being aired, Moreno said, "We're not going to change our style as far as the Save up to 80 Financially troubled Arizona art nailery conducts a liquidation of over 300 original oil paintings, all from professional artists, and all Including beautiful frame.

The United Steelworkers union, of which some of the defendants are members, subsequently filed a federal civil-rights lawsuit last September against Gilmartin, the Pima County Sheriff's Department, the Pima County Attorney's Office and Phelps Dodge.

William Walker, who represents the miners in the suit, said earlier that Gilmartin had several conflicts of interest, one being that her son, a sheriff's sergeant, was among officers in charge of making the arrests.

Public records In an arrogant, unfeeling, and unjuit move, American Multi-Cinema, a Kansas City based company, has purchased the local TM Theatre Co. El Con-6, Showcase-2, Cineworld-4, Oracle View-4, Campbell Plaza-3, and Valencia Vista-4 here in Tucson, and refused to employ any of the former TM employees, thus forcing these employees to the streets, and the ranks of the unemployed.

Equally bad is the public policy which Amerian Multi-Cinema is displaying, which serves to drastically reduce the number of employees in the theatre, creating a permanent unemployed situation for approximately 200 Tucson residents who were former employees of these theatres. Thereby reducing the company payroll, which dollars contribute to many of the community business in Tucson, We urge you to patronize the DeAnza, Plitt and Mann Theatres in Tucson, The Park Mall, Buena Vista, El Dorado, Catalina, Coronado, DeAnza, Apache and Foothills Mall, these two companies maintain standard wage and conditions for your fellow Tucsonans employed there.

27, Palms INTERNATIONAL ALLIANCE OF THEATRICAL STAGE EMPLOYEES AND MOTION PICTURE MACHINE OPERATORS TUCSON LOCAL 415 By Jay Gonzales The Arizona Daily Star A 35-year-old Tucson man has been arrested on suspicion of molesting two 17-year-old boys he took in when they were looking for temporary shelter, police said yesterday. Steve J. Herron, of the 3400 block of South Magda Avenue, was booked Thursday into the Pima County Jail on two counts of sexual conduct with a minor in connection with the alleged molestations of the boys on separate occasions in 1980 and last year. Herron was released yesterday on his own recognizance. Detectives learned of the Situation last month from a counselor at a halfway house for troubled youths.

Detective Joyce Lingel, of the police Sexual Exploitation Units, said investigators were told that the two boys, who lived there at different times, moved in with Herron when he offered them jobs and shelter. Herron is not a licensed foster parent, but he was under consideration by the Arizona Department of Economic Security for licensing. A DES spokesman said yesterday that Herron would still be considered because charges against him have not been substantiated. Lingel said the first victim reportedly stayed at Herron's home in 1980 and 1981 after he was offered a job with Herron's small contracting company. The other boy moved in last year, at midyear, after a stay at a halfway house, and left the home in Octo-.

ber. Herron was taken into custody at his home at about 2 p.m. Thursday after detectives obtained a search warrant and found some photographs of the boys nude, Lingel said. Two other youths, ages 16 and 18, were staying at the Herron home Thursday when Hefron was arrested, Lingel said. Since then, the 16-year-old, who was under DES supervision, has been placed in another home.

The 18-year-old's whereabouts are not known, and since he is an adult, authorities have no part in deciding where he is to stay. Cesar Lopez, 22. Tucson, and Cynthia Gonzaies, IB, Tucson. Gifcert Fedrico Navarro. 22.

Another woman in the car was injured. Huffer, the driver of the other car, and a passenger were uninjured. The accident occurred while Huffer lived in Tucson.

Superior Court, Judge John Hawkins ruled that several circumstances warranted probation. Among them were Huffer's age, his lack of a criminal history and evidence that a mechanical malfunction may have contributed to the crash. i rActa mtxn wiiu picaueu guiuy to manslaughter in the 1982 auto-crash death of a Green Valley woman was sentenced yesterday to four years' probation.
