Serving The Color Country Seven Days a Week WASHINGTON COUNTY EDITION Copyrighted UTAH TUESDAY, JAN. Of ISTOT VOLUME 24 NUMBER 302 ft 9m. State may scrap missing child program has been "ineffective and costly," said Rep. Ervin Skousen, R-Salt Lake City, sponsor of a plan to erase the law. Despite spending more than each year on the program, it has not located a single missing child, Skousen said.

House members were convinced and voted 73-0 Monday to repeal the law. The measure now goes to the SALT LAKE CITY (ITPn The Utah House voted to scrap a program approved several years ago that was swept along in the torrent of concern over missing children, because it had not helped to locate a single child. The 1983 law creating the missing children's registry and requiring prints be takeri of adopted children Senate for further action. Representatives also approved changing a state law mandating businesses have at least three directors to incorporate in the state. The measure, advanced to the Senate, would allow corporations to have a single director.

Rep. Ted Lewis, D-Salt Lake, sponsor of the proposal said it would elim- inate the "artificial requirements" that commonly lead to one-man operations listing family members as corporation directors. On the other side of Capitol Hill Monday, senators gave tentative approval to a measure allowing the public to attend conference committee meetings. A proposal to officially bar citizens from the meetings called to work out stalemates on differing House and Senate versions of the same bill sparked controversy last week in the House. The open meeting proposal still awaits final action in both legislative chambers.

Senators also advanced toward a final vote a proposal to broaden legal of police officers. Under the measure, the Class A misdemeanor penalty for assaulting an officer would be extended to attacks on off-duty and plain clothes of ficers acting within the scope of their law enforcement powers. But senators refused to approve a portion of a bill allowing state officials to inspect sealed criminal records of persons applying for police officer certification in the state. Sponsoring Sen. Jack Bangerter, R-Bountiful, said closed criminal records of prospective officers should be opened because "a peace officer is a different kind of an animal that people need to trust in." But a majority of senators voted to scrap the open records provision before advancing the measure for final Senate consideration.

Senators will soon get a chance to debate a bill strengthening the law barring state supervisors or officers from hiring, voting for or recommending relatives for state jobs. The Senate Judiciary Committee Monday recommended passage of the nepotism law changes sponsored by Sen. Lyle Hillyard, R-Logan. The House Revenue and Taxation Committee gave its endorsement to a measure that would boost the interest rate from 5 lk percent to 11 V4 percent for late payments on personal property taxes. County officials told panel members large businesses and investment groups delay paying taxes on equipment and vehicles because the rate is lower than that offered by commmercial lenders.

The plan, if approved, would raise an estimated $100,000 for county coffers. And in the Senate, a bill was introduced to impose sales taxes on all non-medical services. Bill sponsor Sen. Omar Bunnell, D-Price, said the new tax would raise about $42 million by collecting on services provided by such professions as attorneys, accountants and insurance agents.

Irene Ray, wife of Skywest Airlines Flight 1834 first officer Walter R. Ray said Monday her husband told her the air traffic controllers in Salt Lake City "were not trained, inexperienced and made some serious mistakes." The Skywest Metroliner, a commuter plane with eight people aboard, collided Jan. 15 on a landing approach to Salt Lake City Interna-, tional with a single-engine Mooney carrying a flight instructor and student pilot. The accident, the first U.S.

air crash of the year involving a commercial passenger plane, killed all 10 people aboard both crafts and showered a Salt Lake City suburb with bodies and debris. No one on the ground was injured. Ray said her husband, a former air traffic controller in Bakersfield, told her Salt Lake City International "was the worst controlled area he had ever flown into the most dangerous place to land." "Apparently one time after he landed on the ground, following a near-mishap, he contacted the tower and chewed out the controller for misdirecting him," Ray said. by Matthew cooper Spectrum Washington Bureau tional Association of Home Builders ($8,000) the National Association of Automobile Dealers U.S. West National Right to Life the National Rifle Association National Association Realtors ($10,000) and Coors He also received sizable contributions from conservative political PACs such as RuffPAC, operated by a millionaire Virginia publisher, Howard Ruff.

Hansen spent $371,915 to stave off a strong Democratic challenge in 1986, according to a report he was required to file with the Federal Election Commission. On Nov. 4, the Farmington Republican won with just 52 percent of the vote against E. Gunn McKay, D-Ogden, who held the seat before Hansen. To defeat McKay in 1986, Hansen, 54, raised substantial money $181,712 from political action committees, or PACs.

He picked up $142,793 in contributions from individuals. In 1984, Hansen only spent $127,388 on his re-election bid.

Airport officials said they had no comment on her charges. The re-enactment of the flight paths of the two aircraft that collided last week showed "both planes came up very clearly on the radar" at the airport, a NationalTransportation Safety Board official said Monday.

NTSB officials ran the re-enact-' ment Sunday using two planes similar to the Skywest Metroliner and the Mooney. The agency said it was ex- pected to receive radar "print-outs" of the re-enactments today. NTSB spokesman Alan Pollock, in a telephone interview from Washington, D.C., stressed that no conclusions had been made about who was to blame for the accident. John Lauber, an NTSB board member, said the principal controller directing Flight 1834 on final approach told officials he did not see the images from two planes converging on his radar screen. But blips did show up on replays of Air Force radar.

A second controller, however, reported seeing the merging planes on his screen. Pollock said it would take several days to determine how long the two planes were on a collision course within the restricted airspace. the rig and move it today, said the dispatcher.

"I really can't be happy, but with the situation we're facing and have faced since we started, I think they did a good job with it," Kay Mitani, 2701 vice president, said of the proposed pact. Ballots were mailed Monday to steelworkers in Utah and eight other states to vote on the new contract. Results of the vole by mail will be announced Jan.

31, a union official said. If the contract is approved, it will take effect the next day. The proposed four-year contract, endorsed by union leaders Sunday, would reduce steelworkers' pay by 99 cents an hour, lowering their average weekly wage to $444. They also would lose another $1 an hour in benefits, including loss of a week's vacation and three holidays. In return, the company said it would improve insurance benefits and pensions and institute a profit-sharing plan.

"We can't be really happy because we're taking a step backward," Mitani said. "It is a concessionary package- But wnat ey did negotiate I believe is equitable because of the situation with the steel industry." ST.
