NOV. 20 ST. GEORGE AREA Background check BIRMINGHAM, Mich. U.S. Postmaster General Anthony Frank announces that the Postal Service will review the backgrounds of all the nation's 750,000 postal employees.

The announce came in the wake after a fired postman killed four bosses and himself. (AP) Forbes urges democracy issue will make or break Owens PROVO (AP) Financial publishing magnate Malcolm Forbes says the United States must remain a strong active force in the worldwide democratic movement. Forbes, editor and publisher of Forbes financial magazine, told 400 Brigham Young University students that if the U.S. turns its back on the democratic reforms of Eastern Europe and the Soviet Union, another cycle of totalitarianism could result. "We need some major policy steps today so we don't do what we 31C did in the '20s and '30s," Forbes said Thursday.

He compared today's democratic sentiment with similar feelings evident worldwide prior to World War I. "The turn of the century, led by Teddy Roosevelt, was a progressive era," he said. "Now, we're entering a new-progressive era." World War I snattered the hopes of millions for democratic reforms, he said, leading to a closed Russia, the Cold War, and economic decline. early models of the F-16 had a crash rate "three or four times that of normal Air Force jets." But Acosta said the F-16 design has been constantly improved and "they've worked a lot of bugs out of it. The older planes were the ones that had the poor safety record." Vessels said the aircraft that crashed Thursday was built in 1979.

A jury awarded Mrs. Harduvel $3.1 million, but that decision was reversed when the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that military contractors could not be named as defendants in suits alleging design flaws. Joe Stout, spokesman for General Dynamics, said F-16s continuously undergo improvements. During the past 20 months four F-16s from Hill have been involved in crashes and one made an emergency landing at Wendover Airfield.

On July 30, Capt. Keith Nylan-der, a member of the 388th TFW was killed when his F-16D crashed in Nevada. In March 1990 within a six-day period two F-16s from the 419th TFW collided in midair and an F-16A crashed on the salt flats in the western desert. All three pilots managed to bail out before the planes hit the ground. On March 16, 1990, a fire forced the pilot of F-16D to land at Wendover.

F-16s were used extensively in the Persian Gulf War and were praised by the military for their ability to fly around-the-clock missions with minimum maintenance. Two F-16s from Hill crashed in the Middle East during the Gulf crisis. She is survived by two children; Donald C. Hoyle of Seattle, Washington and Mrs. Ronald (Elizabeth Ann) Terry of Palos Verdes, California.

Also surviving are 8 grandchildren, 1 great grandchild, a brother Howard Adams of Parowan, Utah and a sister Mable Macdonald of Mesa, Arizona. She was 1 of 10 children.

RELATIONS AND RECOVERY 12-step group Trinity Lutheran Church Wilderness SALT LAKE CITY (AP) -Utah's wild lands could make for wild times on the 1992 Senate campaign trail, and Wayne Owens is the first to admit it. But the congressman expects his image as the patron saint of wilderness will be a more neutral than negative factor, albeit not in southern Utah, where "even some of my relatives are not at this point supporting me." With a 1989 bill to protect 5.4 million acres of federal land in Utah, the Salt Lake Democrat's name became synonymous with the environmentalism loathed by ranchers, mineral extractors and economically struggling communities outside the Wasatch Front. While Owens doesn't foresee Congress acting on the issue for about five years, rural Utahns may rise to the occasion sooner. At the polls next year. In Kane County, which has 5,169 residents and 639,958 acres currently protected as Wilderness Study Area the most of any county Commission Chairman Ray Lopeman says no one will be displaying Owens yard signs.

"Wayne Owens wouldn't stand a snowball's chance in you know what of getting a single vote out of Kane County, Lopeman said. "It's not that we're against the man in person, but my gosh, what little economic value we have from federal lands is in ranching, and they've tied it up so bad it puts us back 75 years." "They" means Owens and groups like the Utah Wilderness Coalition, which regards the 3.2 million acres of study area statewide as the mere starting point for permanent wilderness consideration. Owens' 5.4 million, derived from coalition and Sierra Club study, takes in all possibilities with the Symington PHOENIX (AP) Gov. Fife Symington began drawing skirmish lines Friday for what he says could be one of the toughest budget years in Arizona history. "The budget for 1993 will take measure of Arizona as a state and it will take measure of the politicians as leaders," Symington told the Arizona Tax Research Association.

He repeated his commitment to balancing the state budget without raising taxes and said any budget sent to him by the Legislature that does include new taxes "will be dead on arrival." "We must choose to do less," Symington said. "We must fit our spending commitments to our limited ability to fund." The no-new-taxes pledge was echoed by a key Democratic legislator Senate Appropriations Committee Chairman Jaime Gutierrez. "I think that's been the Democratic position for about a year now," the Tucson lawmaker said. "I think that was the Democratic position last year and there was none and I think that's the Democratic position now." Gutierrez said he doubted there would be a single Senate vote for any tax increase next year. On Tuesday, Symington ordered an immediate hiring freeze and instructed agency heads to prepare contingency plans to wipe out a deficit in this year's budget that Air Force defends F-16 PIONEER AND 10 a.m.

NARCOTICS ANONYMOUS terings among previously announced Democrats and some coyness from Hansen, who said he has since been urged by political "heavies" to get into the race. After weighing a possible Senate bid, Hansen announced last month that he would seek re-election to his 1st District seat. But in an interview Thursday, he brought up the prospect of taking on Owens. "Don't ever trust what a politician says until the filing deadline's over," he said. "It would be a fun race because we're so different." That kind of talk, Owens says, is just Hansen playing games.

He expects considerable bashing from the GOP in his third bid for statewide office, but says a recent poll indicates he can return fire for fire on the wilderness issue or any other. A survey for Owens of 758 residents in early September by pollsters Perm Schoen had three wilderness questions. One found that Utahns would vote for a candidate who supported "several million" acres of wilderness over one who favored "little or no" wilderness by a margin of 59 percent to 25 percent. Another asked if Owens was "overly concerned about protecting Utah's wilderness to the extent he is ignoring many important goals and is thus out of touch with the people of Utah." The response: 50 percent said no, 38 percent yes, and 12 percent undecided. The error margin was 4 percent.

"I think whoever runs against Wayne Owens better be very careful about how they deal with the wilderness issue, said Lawson LeGate, associate Southwest Representative for the Sierra Club. "You don't want to be perceived as anti-wilderness. That may get them a lot of votes in Garfield County, but there aren't a lot of appear that there would be any layoffs next year "unless there is some kind of cataclysmic decline in revenues." But Gutierrez said he is "not going to rule out any layoffs," and that he does not believe pay raises for state workers "are in the cards." He added, "I don't want to be in the position of approving pay increases at the expense of laying people off." Symington and Gutierrez also disagree over whether there should be a ceiling on property and casualty claims against the state. Symington said Arizona paid out more than $40 million to settle claims against it last year. "This amount makes us second in the nation, behind only New york," he said.

"Preliminary re Sympathy Hovers beautiful memories. Cameo Florist 6)3 Fast Taliernot le 628-2632 35 view that once it's gone, it can't be reclaimed. On the other side sits the Bureau of Land Management, which has recommended 1.9 million acres be designated wilderness, and Republican Congressman Jim Hansen with a bill proposing 1.4 million acres. Some, like Rep. Bill Orton, D-Utah, hope to drag the divergent factions to a compromise.

That could be difficult given the environmentalist position that current study areas should be the baseline wilderness figure and the BLM's obligation to consider all competing resource values. "With the Wilderness Coalition's philosophy versus the BLM's multiple-use mandates, there's just no way we'd come together in the same room," said Greg Thayn, one of the masterminds of me final wilderness environmental impact statement compiled by the BLM. Owens, however, says he has offered to sit down and discuss each of the 126 individual parcels in his proposal and work out any economic development conflicts. "I think my willingness to compromise is not fully understood," said Owens, who cites his work on the Central Utah Project and mediation between environmentalists and the Escalante timber industry as examples of his efforts on behalf of rural concerns. How it all plays with the 1992 electorate remains to be seen.

But Owens has heard the rumblings from the hinterlands and intends to confront them head-on. "I will work every county personally, and I believe in the end I can win the confidence of a majority of people of Utah. That's why I'm risking it all," he said, three days after announcing his Senate candidacy Monday. His entry into the race was met with glee by conservationists, mut- voters in Garfield County." Lopeman concedes there probably isn't enough opposition in southern and rural Utah to offset Owens' strong support in the big cities, where voters are more pro-" wilderness. The congressman has handily won re-election with a 10-12 percent cushion in his Salt Lake County-based 2nd District since 1986.

"That's the sad part about Utah being two states," Lopeman said. "All of us together in the south don't make up one little city in the north. I think we'd have to have some help in Salt Lake Cityi" Hansen, however, wilderness is an emotionally intense issue that cannot be underestimated. He predicted the issue will swing the vote 10 points either way in any county in Utah. And it appears likely to skew traditional voting patterns in places like Carbon County, a Democratic stronghold which nevertheless opposes wilderness designations because of its mining economy.

Indeed, a petition making the rounds last fall in Wellington, a Carbon community never very sympathetic to Republicans, asked signers to declare Owens unfit for office. In Blanding, closer to the hotbed of wilderness debate in San Juan County, a man at a public hearing told Owens he had come to help hang him. As a Panguitch native, Owens recognizes the irony. "I regard it as a real challenge to be from southern Utah and not to get southern Utah support. So I will be spending a disproportionate share of my time down there because I generally think that I can merit their confidence," he said.

"But I also realize the burden of proof is on me at this point." search from my Risk Management Office indicates that all states except New York pay less that we do because, unlike Arizona, they have sovereign immunity or limits on liability." Symington said a Department of Administration task force is studying the issue and that the Legislature probably would be asked to submit a proposal to the voters next year. BUY UNITED STATES SAVINGS BONDS For the current rate 1-800-US-BONDS seeks to balance Arizona budget HILL AIR FORCE BASE (AP) Nearly 30 F-16 fighter jets from Hill Air Force Base have crashed during the last decade, but Air Force officials say the craft "remains the safest fighter jet in the Air Force inventory." The latest accident involved an early model F-16B that crashed about 10 miles northwest of the Great Salt Lake Thursday, killing Capt. Arnold A. Clarke, 32, and Capt. Michael Sowell, 28.

The $16 million plane was assigned to the 419th Tactical Fighter Wing and was on a training mission when it crashed. Clarke was a reservist living in Layton and had flown with the 419th for 2'2 years. Sowell, on active duty with the reserve squadron for a three-year assignment, and been with the wing for just three days, said Hill Public Affairs Chief Barbara Ann Vessels. Officials from the Air Force and General Dynamics, the plane's manufacturer, are investigating the crash. The F-16B is a two-seat single-engine jet generally used for training and orientation, said Capt.

Betsy Freeman of the Air Force Press Desk in Washington, D.C. Air Force officials at Hill and the Pentagon say the jet has the safest record of any Air Force aircraft. However, an attorney for the widow of an F-16 pilot claims older F-16 models were defective. Howard Acosta of Florida represented Ted Harduvel's widow, who filed a multimillion-dollar lawsuit against General Dynamics. The suit alleged the F-16 flown by Harduvel had "defective instrumentation wiring" when it crashed over Korea in 1982.

Acosta said that during his investigation for the lawsuit, he learned that Obituary Pearl Rose Hoyle Parowan, Utah- Pearl Rose Hoyle 95 passed away November 14, 1991, at the Cedar Care Center.

She moved back to Parowan in 1970. he said could exceed $96 million. He blamed the deficit on the Legislature's approval of $40 million more in spending than he proposed in his budget and said there will be pressure for more increases next year.

"The budget debate for fiscal year 1993 must not be a battle where each special interest pulls on the political strings in the Legislature," Symington said. "Each string pulled only raises the budget and tightens the noose around the neck of Arizona's economy. Symington noted that state agency heads already have submitted requests for an additional $550 million next year, although state revenues are expected to increase by only about $150 million. The $550 million does not include a pay raise for state employees or the $8 million to $15 million that will be needed to cover property and casualty losses, he said. Symington stopped short of committing to a pay raise, which he said would cost about $11 million for every one percent increase.

But he noted that state workers got no raise this year, only 4.5 percent last year and 1.25 percent the year before. "As I reviewed the past pay raises given to state employees. I realized what a bargain the citizens of this state have been receiving," he said. Symington also said it did not 1.
