consortium for $110-000 has fallen through the Ogden Board of Education was informed Monday evening The report came from Dr Gerald Raat who has conducted negotiations with the unidentified group Dr Raat said principal reasons for breaking off the sale after it apparently had been agreed on by both sides include problems on licensing with the Federal Communications Commission and difficulties by the San Diego group in getting some assets liquidated The board in late June had agreed to the sale after long negotiations with the group SIMILAR PROBLEM A previous sale to a Salt Lake City group for $300000 in 1970 failed to materialize also because of problems with licen sing from the FCC The school district has a license to use Channel 9 for educational television broadcasting Board members expressed disappointment at the failure saying there is no point in trying to resume operations of the station for use by local schools Dr Raat and Dr William Garner superintendent said Channel 7 is providing most of the service needed from television in the local district DISTRICTS JOIN Cost of resuming operations would be prohibitive too the two administrators said Dr Garner estimated that the bare minimum expenditure needed to put the station back on the air would be $50000 The Weber School District at one time' operated Channel 18 Because of heavy costs the two districts for a time joined in operating on Channel 9 That arrangement was terminated last year because of costs above what the two districts felt they could handle acceptably The station has been idle most of the time since getting standby license extensions from the FCC Dr Raat said the present extension expires on Oct 20 and he doubts another can be obtained ANTENNA SPACE Board president Glen Holley said that when the license goes the district administration should move ahead with disposal of the station equipment Dr Raat said he has a number of applications for use of antenna space on the transmitter at Little

Industrial School teachers and thd State Division of Family Ser- Negotiating teams from the division and the SIS Education Association appeared before the three-man board in Salt Lake City at 9 am to ask for help in settling a salary hassle that will delay the beginning of classwork at the school at least one day Both factions agreed to take the matter before the board after a bargaining session Monday failed to produce a settlement With Secretary of State Clyde Miller absent from session Attorney General Vernon Romney said he would support a 976 per cent cost-of-living increase demanded by teachers at the institution RAMPTON DECLINES However Gov Calvin Rampton indicated he would not be willing to endorse any figure unless it had been agreed upon by the State Division of Family Services and sent the negotiating teams back to the bargaining table The teams are scheduled to meet once more today in a last-minute effort to resolve the dispute in time for the opening of school Wednesday

issue of the cost-of-living increase for teachers Teacher spokesman Ray Hall executive director of Northern Utah UNISERV (United Teacher Services) said the state upped its offered increase to nine per cent during bargaining round which he described as of SEEKS AVERAGE But he said the SIS Education Association has asked the negotiators settle for no less than a 976 per cent increase that is the average cost-of-living increase received by other Utah teachers this school Mr Hall noted that probably within $70 per teacher of reaching an and expressed hope that the Utah Board of Examiners would okay an 978 increase SIS Supt Claud Pratt reported that Evan Jones negotiating on behalf of the State Division of Family Services was authorized to offer a maximum increase of nine per cent END TALKS He said Mr Jones had indicated the division probably would not support any more than that which resulted in school negotiators breaking off the Monday talks Mr Pratt has taken the position that the demand is out of line with the 74 per cent increase that has been granted to other state and says SIS instructors are already receiving six to seven per cent higher salaries than teachers in neighboring school districts If no decision is reached today Mr Hall said that SIS teachers will their services until contracts are School officials have outlined a contingency plan that will provide

Glidden said His journey into the Pamirs that range from the Soviet Union into China Kashmir and Afghanistan was recorded by New York Times reporter Christopher Wren in a copyrighted story and will be published in national journals Another American team member was Jeffrey Lowe of Ogden The Russian people were most hospitable Dr Glidden said but their government apparently still harbors suspicions
