Rule limiting scavengers is disaster for family Page to scour the off-limit areas. He insists, however, that the family is welcome to scavenge in the designated areas on Wednesday. Despite the financial needs of the family, Valencia says the city cannot permit the Browns to search the dump during the balance of the week. "It's not that we don't care about their situation," Valencia said.

"But we can't make an exception to the rules for one family." He insists there must be off-limit areas because of the inherent dangers involved when heavy equipment is working at the dump. "To some people scavenging may be degrading," Brown says. "But it's a way to keep my family together and fed. At least I am not bumming or ripping someone off." Mrs. Brown says, "Without that we're lost.

It's the only way we have to make any money." Scavenging has not always been a part of the family's lifestyle. The Browns didn't resort to it, actually, until several months ago when their federal benefits were cut in half. In addition to the $227 Brown receives, the family was receiving about $226 in Aid to Dependent Children payments. That was cut off, however, because the Social Security Administration said Brown was earning too much money. The Browns say the government erred.

"We've been told by Social Security that they will straighten all of this out, but they haven't done anything yet," Mrs. Brown says. Officials of the Social Security Administration would not discuss the case, saying they were prevented from doing so because of the recently enacted Privacy Act. The Browns don't know how to make ends meet on the income of $227, of which almost one-third goes for food stamps. They are $300 behind in their payments for the trailer, another $100 or so is owed on the last operation, there is $117 worth of water bills, $50 is owed to the telephone company and the electric bill averages about $80, they say.

There are other bills, too. Thursday's operation will result in more debts. Although the Social Security Administration will pick up 80 per cent of the costs, the Browns will face medical bills at least in the hundreds. "I don't know what we're going to do," Brown says. "I am a proud man and like to stand on my own feet.

I don't want anything from nobody. "But what are we going to do?" tion of carrying out his suicide." The lawyer said they suspected a suicide pact because in all the agreements by Gilmore to sell his life story, there is no mention of Miss Barrett getting any of the proceeds. "They had such a strong relationship," he said. "It was strange. It was almost as if she a going to be around." In September, he said, Miss Barrett slashed her arm while visiting Gilmore in Utah County Jail.

Gilmore had been scheduled to go before the Utah Board of Pardons tomorrow to renew his plea to be shot by a firing squad at the prison for the slaying last summer of a Provo motel clerk. Warden Sam Smith said a guard found Gilmore in his cell, "not breathing properly," and called for medical help. Paramedics gave him resuscitation, then took him to the hospital 25 miles away. In Springville, Police Chief Leland Bowers said Miss Barrett was found in her apartment by a neighbor at 8:50 a.m. "She was unconscious, but breathing," he said.

"Two empty prescription vials of sleeping pills were found next to her." One of her two children was found in the apartment and placed in the custody of a neighbor, Bowers said. Yesterday, Miss Barrett spent two hours with Gilmore at the prison and emerged to say she had agreed to marry him. Slowdown averted WASHINGTON I A nationwide slowdown in air traffic operations has been averted as a result of an agreement being reached on new pay scales for air controllers. Mars does no death mean no life? The Washington Post News Service WASHINGTON The $100 million the United States spent on instruments to search for life on Mars has produced nothing but disagreement over whether the instruments found what they were looking for. That was as clear as a pink summer Martian sky after a recent press conference in which six Viking scientists discussed what their findings mean to them.

Four said they did not know if life exists on Mars. One said flatly that Viking had not found life. The sixth said he felt Viking had discovered primitive microbes living in the soils of Mars. One of the few things the six Viking scientists agreed on was that they have found no remains of death on Mars. None of the six quarreled with the finding that there is nothing in the two soils (Chryse and Utopia) where Viking dug to suggest the fossils that would confirm the existence of life on Mars.

"Our instrument could have detected dead organisms anywhere from 100 to 1,000 times fewer in number than there are in poor earth soils, like the soils of Antarctica," said MIT's Dr. Klaus Biemann, who designed the instrument that looked for dead organic matter on Mars. "We did not find any organics. There doesn't seem to be a mechanism that accumulates organics on Mars." Biemann, who has said it Is hard to have life without death, concluded that Viking failed to find life on Mars. He noted a i i had searched for life and death only in two small places on Mars, which does not "exclude the presence of living things elsewhere on Mars." But he emphasized that almost all earth soils are rich with the fossils o'f dead organisms.

The two Mars soils tested are not. Biemann thinks three other Viking instruments found an exotic chemistry in the soil that is alien to the earth, catalyzed by some unidentified super-oxidant in the minerals of Mars and activated by the sun's searing ultraviolet light that penetrates the thin Martian atmosphere all the way to the surface. "But even if I think we can explain this in terms of chemistry, we must still reproduce these actions in our laboratories," Biemann cautioned. "And even if we do that, we can only come to the conclusion that from these two es where we landed on Mars the data we have can be explained by inorganic chemistry." Cornell University's Carl Sagan disagreed with Biemann, saying that he thought that what Viking has found could not be explained by an exotic chemistry. Sagan suggested that Viking had discovered primitive life forms that spend their lives behind hard shells to protect them from the killing rays of ultraviolet light.

Sagan conceded he had no proof for the microbes, but he said that Biemann had presented no proof that they do not exist. Sagan said the instruments that looked for life found something and Bie-' mann's instrument did not. The reason suggested was that the life-seeking instruments were more sensitive than Biemann's instrument, which was searching for signs of death, fossils. Pointing out that scientists have found earth soils containing as few as 1,000 living organisms mixed with 1 million dead organisms, Sagan said that both the living and dead organisms in such soils would be beyond the range of Biemann's instrument.

Horowitz of California Institute of Technology is on the side of life but said he can never be sure without finding the signs of death. Without the confirmation," Bus mishap kills 38 Brazilians MANAUS, Brazil (UPI) A bus loaded with voters plunged into the Zurubu River, killing 38 persons. Police said the bus stop at a ferry crossing on the Urubu (vulture), ran into the river, and was swept downstream in strong currents. Horowitz said, "I think you'd be a fool to say you'd found life." Speaking for all four, Harold P. Klein of the Ames Research Center said: "The facts we have do not rigorously prove there is life on Mars nor do they rigorously disprove it."
