George and Vernal. The commission, created last April by Gov. Scott Matheson, says the penalty for a drunk motorist who causes a death "should be increased to a maximum of 15 years in prison and a $10,000 fine." "Automobile homicide should also require mandatory revocation of the driver's license for from five years to life, with the license reinstated only upon the offender's guarantee that he no longer has an alcohol problem." And the commission says the standard for arrest should be lowered from "driving under the influence" to "driving with the slightest degree of impairment" to better include motorists who use drugs. SALT LAKE CITY (UPI) The Governor's Commission on Drinking and Driving wants the Utah Legislature to enact tougher drunk-driving laws, including a proposal to reduce the state's legal allowable blood alcohol level. Utah motorists are now presumed to be legally drunk if their blood alcohol level reaches .08 percent.

But, the commission is recommending that standard be cut nearly in half to only a .05 percent blood alcohol level. The commission's proposals to reduce the number of traffic deaths and injury accidents related to drunk driving and the use of drugs also ask the Legislature to require harsher fines and stiffer jail sentences. The recommendations by the blue ribbon panel will be the subject of public hearings statewide on Sept. 8.

The Sahara dealers voted nearly two years ago to be represented in collective bargaining by the Teamsters, but the Del Webb Corp. refused to enter contract talks.

That will bring the number of layoffs at the Orem plant to 1,700 so far this year. Public affairs officer David Bigler said two of the plant's three coke oven batteries will be shut down for at least eight weeks. He said that because of the decreased de mand in steel, the inventories of the coke, used in the steelmaking process, must be reduced. Bigler couldn't say when the workers would get their jobs back.

She said Sasway was in good spirits. He told the San Diego Tribune in an interview: "I'm not bitter because I believe I've kept my commitment to my conscience in refusing to register, even it if means prison. I'm sure the judge and jury did what they thought they had to do, and I did what I had to do." But Sasway said he felt the judge's refusal to let him explain his motivations denied him a fair trial. Anti-draft and peace demonstrators planned a candlelight march in support of Sasway outside the high-rise jail Sunday night.

The Selective Service Administration reported this month that 8.5 million young men have complied with the registration law, while 600,000 have not. The Justice Department has targeted 160 non-registrants for prosecution. SAN DIEGO, Calif. (UPI) Benjamin Sasway, the first American since the Vietnam War to be locked up for defying the Selective Service, settled into life in federal jail even as an appeals court agreed to hear his emergency bid for freedom. Sasway, 21, the first man in the nation to be indicted for felonious non-registration and the second brought to trial, was found guilty Thursday by a jury of eight men and four women who deliberated one hour.

U.S. District Judge Gordon Thompson Jr. shocked Sasway's backers and his parents, Joseph and Dolores, when he ordered the young man held without bail pending sentencing Oct. 4. The judge said he was afraid Sasway would flee to Canada.

The 9th U. S. Circuit Court of Appeals in San Francisco agreed Friday to hear an emergency motion for release on bail. A ruling is expected Tuesday after Thompson and Sasway present their respective arguments.

Mayor votes for fee GRANTSVILLE, Utah (UPI) Grantsville Mayor Keith Brown who was fined $300 and placed on 39 months probation earlier this week on cruelty to animal charges has voted to raise Grantsville's dog license fees. Brown cast the tie-breaking vote as the city council voted 3-2 to hike the fees.

The license charges will all be raised by $5 to $15 for female dogs and to $10 each for male dogs and neutered dogs. Brown had pleaded no contest earlier this month to three charges of cruelty to animals, after about 19 killed pets were found dumped on property he owns. The no-contest plea cleared the way for a Tooele County precinct court judge this week to sentence Brown on the cruelty charges, even though the mayor did not admit any guilt. interest Rates are coming down and so should you.

Tot with slashed throat clings to life Suspects bound over ceries, handcuffed Montanez and forced him and the boy into the rear of the vehicle. "Evidence shows Zacker then attempted to perform some sort of sexual act," Stuefloten said. When police found him, Zacker was bare-chested, wearing only a pair of pocketless slacks fixed to his waist with silver duct tape.

His pants were unzipped. "It is possible he began to disrobe for the purpose of committing a sex act," the deputy chief said. "We speculater that in. doing this, he may have laid down the gun, and Montanez was able to grab it and fire three rounds." Zacher was shot twice in the right knee and once in the abdomen, piercing his liver and lodging in his chest, with a .22 caliber "Saturday Night Special," said Santa Clara County Coroner-Medical Examiner Dr. John Hauser.

Before he died, Zacher stabbed Montanez 10 times in the face and neck with a hunting knife and slashed the boy's throat, the coroner said. Zacher, who had been convicted of robbery in Canada, left that country five years ago after a six-month marriage ended in divorce, said a spokesman for the Windsor Police Department and the Royal Canadian Mounted Police. While in the United States, Zacher, who had trained to be a baker, used several aliases and was "getting into trouble" everywhere, police said. They would not elaborate. His most recent alias was John Star-key, a name he used for the past two years while living in Concord and running a Kentucky Fried Chicken franchise in Pittsburg, east of San Francisco.

SAN JOSE, Calif. (UPI) A 2-year-old boy clung to life Saturday, his throat slashed all the way through the trachea by a Canadian man dressed as a woman who killed the tot's father in what police think began as a sexual assault. Wayne J. Zacker, 34, Windsor, Ontario, who police said used several aliases during his stay in the United States, was shot to death in a heroic effort by the handcuffed father. He lived long enough, however, to repeatedly stab Frank Montanez 25, and slash the little boy's throat.

Frank Montanez III, found barely alive but conscious along with the two bloody corpses in the back of his father's Chevrolet van, remained in "very critical" condition at Alexian Brothers Hospital. He underwent 2 Vi hours of surgery late Thursday to repair the severed trachea. In piecing together the grisly events spurred by some "bizarre sexual motive," police said Saturday the incident began at 5 p.m. Thursday in the parking lot of a shopping center two miles from the scene of the crime. An elderly couple were confronted by a man wearing a blouse, slacks and a blond wig.

The robber pulled a gun from his purse and tried to force the couple into the back of their camper, said Deputy Chief Larry Stuefloten. He fled when the woman feigned illness and said her medicine was in her purse but instead pulled out a whistle and began to blow. The suspect drove his Oldsmobile station wagon later found parked behind the victims' blue van to another shopping center two miles away. Police theorize he observed the father and son returning to their van with gro PROVO, Utah (UPI) Two young men charged with the burglary of singer Marie Osmond's home earlier this month have been bound over to Fourth District Court to stand trial on felony theft complaints.

Tooele goes solar TOOELE, Utah (UPI) Tooele has become the first Utah city to allow installation of attached greenhouses and other solar energy systems on existing homes through a change in zoning laws. The old Tooele zoning statute prohibited persons living in residential areas from attaching solar "retrofit" units to the sides of their homes because all building additions had to be a certain distance from neighbor's property lines. "The new ordinance allows homeowners to install passive and active solar heating and collecting units such as attached greenhouses or sun-spaces to a maximum of 20 percent beyond the old established property-line setback," the city council said. "This will allow many Tooele residents to install solar energy systems to improve the energy efficiency of their homes." ST.
