Party officials in state after state Monday predicted as Utah's chief executive, said he had examined Creer's statement, "but I am still unable to determine how he would balance the state budget if $52 million is lost. Further, he has not dealt at all with the impact on city and county budgets." But Creer won support from Senate President Ernest Dean, D-American Fork, and House Majority Lewader Roger Rawson, D-Ogden. Dean said Democrats in the Legislature supported gradual elimination of the tax. describing Creer's "position as a logical and necessary progression toward and equitable and fair tax system." Rawson said elimination of the tax was an important plank in the Utah Democratic platform and can be accomplished while maintaining a balanced budget. Creer, a Salt Lake City attorney who was slightly ahead in the last pre-election polls, said possibilities included increasing the sales tax on nonessential items, a severance tax, use of budget surpluses, elimination of government waste and higher tax revenues due to growth of the state's economy.

Matheson countered with a statement saying Creer had "failed to tell the voters how he would make up lost revenues, whether by increasing other taxes or by cutting state services." "We are all in favor of reducing the unfair tax burdens, especially the sales tax on food," said Matheson, who is also a Salt Lake attorney. "But I believe the way to accomplish that objective is to offer concrete proposals, not to promise instant solutions." Rampton, who is retiring after three terms legislative leaders erupting in a flurry of news releases. The dispute started Sunday when Rampton and Matheson attacked Creer for campaign ads pledging to eliminate the sales tax. The governor, making public his behind-the-scenes support for Matheson, challenged Creer to explain how he would cut the tax which Rampton estimated will bring in $52 million next year without causing havoc with the state budget. "Twenty-five states do not have the sales tax on food," Creer responded Monday.

"These states have managed to find ways. Utah should find one, too. It won't be easy, but that doesn't mean it shouldn't be done. If elected, I intend to find a way." Utah's voters trekked to the polls today for a primary election which heated up too late to spark a massive turnout. Lt.

Gov. Clyde Miller predicted about 200,000 persons about a third of the state's 590,000 registered voters would cast ballots before the polls close at 8 p.m. Lackluster campaigns for governor in both the Democratic and Republican parties and for the U.S. Senate nomination on the GOP side heated up on the eve of the election. Voters also marked ballots in Republican races in both Utah congressional districts, for other top state offices, for state and local school board members, for county officials and for legislators.

In the First District, San Juan County Commission Chairman Cal Black and airline pilot Joe Ferguson battled for the right to challenge popular Democratic Congressman Gunn McKay. Two political unknowns, insurance agent Dan Marriott and physician Jay Hughes, fought for the GOP nomination in the Second District. The winner is a heavy favorite to defeat scandal-tinged Democratic Rep. Allan Howe in November. On election eve, Democratic gubernatorial hopefuls John Preston Creer and Scott Matheson staged a slugfest over Creer's pledge to eliminate the state sales tax on food, with Gov.

Calvin Hampton putting himself firmly in Matheson's corner. On the Republican side, Dixie Leavitt said "extreme right wing groups" had consulted with a member of Vernon Romney's campaign staff before putting out 100,000 copies of a campaign flier which Leavitt charged distorted his stands on several issues, inclul land use planning and federal job safety laws. Romney firmly denied it. And GOP Senate candidates Orrin Hatch and Jack Carlson exchanged jibes about who was endorsed by whom. Hatch won the backing of former California Gov, Ronald Reagan late last week.

Carlson aides then announced during the weekend that their man had the tacit support of President PorJ. Reagan confirmed his support of Hatch Monday in a phone call to Mexico City from KSL Radio in Salt Lake City, saying he violated his usual rule of staying out of party primaries because Hatch was a personal friend. Ford's aides, meanwhile, said the President had not taken sides in the campaign. During a Monday night campaign stop in Salt Lake City, GOP vice presidential nominee Robert Dole refused to answer any questions about the Hatch-Carlson fight. "We're not here to endorse anybody," Dole said.

However, most of the election eve fury centered around the sales tax on food with Creer, Matheson, Rampton and Democratic voter turnouts ranging from a low of 18 or 20 per cent of eligible voters to a maximum of 40 or 45 per cent. Most interest centered on the noisy, free-wheeling campaign in New York, where Democrats sensed a chance to regain a Senate seat for the first time since the death of Robert Kennedy. Rep. Bella Abzug and former U.N. Ambassador Daniel Moynihan were believed to be running almost even with each other and well ahead of the three other Democratic candidates for the seat former Attorney General Ramsey Clark, City Council President Paul O'Dwyer and businessman Abe Hirschfeld.

Stanley York also is without opposition for the GOP Senate nomination. Utah Sen. Frank Moss has no Democratic opponents and faces either Republican Jack Carlson or Orrin Hatch in November. Democrats John Creer and Scott Matheson are contesting to seek the seat of retiring Gov. Calvin Rampton, while Attorney General Vernon Romney and state Senate GQP leader Dixie leavitt are close for the Republican "nomination.

GEORGE Two weeks ago yesterday, the Washington County Planning Commission approved a one-year conditional use permit for William D.

Haynes to establish an auto salvage yard near the town of Ivins. Yesterday, the Washington County Commission, whose members sit on the Planning Commission and voted in favor of the project two weeks ago, listened to a delegation of infuriated citizens from the town of Ivins object strenuously to the Planning Commission decision and threaten possible legal action if the action were not reconsidered. The Ivins Town Board had voted, prior to the matter going before the Planning Commission, as being opposed to the location of the proposed salvage yard, but generally favoring the concept of the business in another location. Petitions signed by approximately three-fourths of the residents of Ivins were presented to the commissioners indicating disfavor of the new business. Robert Coulter, president of the Ivins Town Board, told the commission that the Town Board was unanimously opposed to the proposed site.

The basis for requesting the county commission to take action to rescind the approval granted by the planning commission was that the planning commission apparently had been furnuhed with information which allowed its members to assume the yard would be located department spokesman said. "But at this point we have nothing concrete." The spokesman said police were not certain at this point whether the type of bomb used in each case was the same. Manhattan District Attorney Robert Morgenthau, who filed the second degree murder charges against the five suspects Monday, said he took the action to ensure they would be handed over to his custody if they were able to meet bail. The hijacking America's first in four years included stops in Montreal, Newfoundland, Iceland and Paris. The Morgenthau complaint was based on a search of the apartment occupied by the alleged leader of the hijacking, Zvonko Busic and his wife, Julienne.

Morgenthau said investigators f6und bomb-making equipment in the flat. Police Officer Brian Murray was killed while attempting to dismantle a bomb allegedly left in a locker at Grand Central Terminal by the suspects. It exploded on the police firing range, wounding three other policemen. NEW YORK (UPI) The five Croatian nationalists charged with air piracy and held on $1 million bail each are being questioned about their "possible involvement" in the bombing of LaGuardia Airport last December that killed 11 persons, authorities said today. A spokesman for the police department said the link was drawn because the five terrorists, who hijacked a Trans World Airlines jet with 85 passengers aboard shortly after it left LaGuardia Airport Friday, had informed police about a bomb -placed in a locker in Grand Central Station.

The bomb later blew up in the face of four police officers trying to disarm it, killing one and injuring the three others seriously. The Croatians, in addition to the federal air piracy charges, face murder charges in the officer's death. The explosive device that ripped through a terminal at LaGuardia Airport last Dec. 29 had also been hidden in baggage lockers, and the similarity led detectives to launch the parallel investigation. "We are investigating the possibility of a link between the two bombings," a police twisiea lengxn oi dimi mm whs to nave neen the new KSUB-FM tower.

Lying on the ground now, the broken red and white tower was almost totally destroyed. High atop Iron Mountain, on what is known as Tip Top Claim, about 16 miles West of Cedar, a crew of KSUB staff and management joined one-half mile west and one-half mfle north of the town of Ivins. The fact was, said Coulter, the yard would be located only across the road from the town limits. At the request of Commissioner Vernon Church, Haynes was contacted by the planning department and asked to appear before the commission. Church requested the meeting with Haynes to hear his side of the story prior to the commission taking any further action.

During the afternoon, Haynes appeared to defend his position. He told the commission that he had followed every step required by both the state of Utah and Washington County in establishing a salvage yard and that he felt it would be wrong for the planning commission's decision to be changed. Haynes stated he already had invested considerable money, based on the approval, in clearing the land and in grading a new road to the site. He further said he could not understand the misunderstanding concerning the site location since he had presented plat maps showing eh location in relation to the city of Ivins. Planning department maps showed the yard to be located approximately 660 feet west of the town's boundary and 990 feet north.

The commission unanimously agreed to pursue the matter further with both Haynes and the Ivins Town Board in an effor to arrive at an equitable solution without the need of litigation, something which was intimated by both parties might result from the case. As a result, the commission was scheduled to hold a special meeting today with Coulter and Haynes. A decision is expected to come from the meeting, but too late for the Spectrum's issue today. In other action, the commission; -Listened to a request from Brooks Pace, developer of Dammeron Valley, for a waiver of a $400 road survey fee, required by the County Survyeor, on a portion of his subdivision. Pace said he had already paid a like fee for the first part of the subdivision.

He also requested the commission accept a letter of credit in lieu of a bond or pledged savings account guaranteeing road work would be done in the subdivision. The commission withheld action on both requests pending advice from the county attorney. -Authorized County Road Supervisor Ralph McArthur to investigate the possibility of purchasing a new vehicle for use as an oiler.

After re-stringing the lifting cables, hooking: up to the quick-release mechanism underneath the helicopter, the 1,800 pound tower and guy wires were lefted into proper position.

Then as the pilot tried to set the; tower down again to try and untangle the lines, it slipped off the tower stand, started buckling and twisting, and looked like it was going to hit! a parked truck.

"We are about six weeks off our schedule, and it doesn't please us that we are," said Cooper, assistant secretary for health in the Department of Health, Education and Welfare. "In spite of difficulties, the program, I think, can occur. Americans can have protection against swine flu and we hope to complete it by the first of the year," he told a House health subcommittee. Cooper admitted to frustrations and only mixed success in getting the unprecedented public health effort off the ground. One of the more vexing problems was a threatened reduction or cancellation of the vaccine makers' insurance for swine flu vaccine.

Though the problem appeared to be solved by legislation passed by Congress and signed by the President, under which taxpayers will pay the insurance bill for nuisance suits, Cooper predicted the insurance question will plague future preventive health programs. Top administration health officials differed in their estimates of how much vaccine would be available, and the companies offered still other projections. States are being told to expect delivery of 102 million doses of vaccine by the first of the year, says the national Center for Disease Control in Atlanta. The four companies, two of which have stopped production, estimate about 135 million doses by mid-January. An official of Parke, Davis and which has not agreed to a contract, blamed changing government delivery dates for reduced vaccine production.
