Amnions encouraged local residents to attend two public hearings this week on the new street deicing plan and to insist that the changeover be contingent upon comprehensive studies of the pollutants in Missoula's air and the deicer's effect on air quality.

"City and county authorities can go ahead and jump on the deiccr bandwagon, said Gerry who also serves on the advisory council. "But we don't want to be swept up in this enthusiasm for finding the latest, easiest solution to problems." The City-County Health Department has recommended that the local Air Pollution Control Board designate a "mandatory deicing zone" within the city limits where sand and salt cannot be used on slick winter streets. Within the zone bounded by Interstate 90, 39th Street and the western city limits street crews could use only chemical deicer, which does not create dust or grit. By SHERRY DEVLIN ol ihe Missoulian Missoula's Air Pollution Advisory Council demanded Monday that local government do the studies needed to design a comprehensive cleanup plan for the city's dirty wintertime air. It isn't enough, the council said, to simply replace street sand with a liquid deicer.

Anyone who's been outside in the past week can attest to that," said financed and mandated as part of the deicing regulation: Research on the deicer's effects on air pollution and the environment.

The survey found domestic issues dominating the list of voters' concerns, a finding that augurs well for Democrats who have been trying to paint Bush as a globetrotting diplomat who spends too little time worrying about the homefront. Coming on the heels of off-year elections that put the White House on the defensive, the monthly Times Mirror Center for the People the Press survey provided fresh evidence of a dramatic shift in the national political landscape caused by persistent economic worries. A number of polls over the last month have shown Bush's support slipping. "This is the first time that Bush's re-election prospects appear directly threatened by the public's mounting unease at the country's economic prospects and the order of the Bush administration's priorities," the center said in its written analysis of the survey results. Eight months ago, at the end of the Persian Gulf war, the Times Mirror survey showed Bush with an 84 percent approval rating.

The latest survey, conducted Oct. 31-Nov. 10, found that 55 percent of respondents approved of "the way George Bush is handling his job as president." That was down six points from a Times Mirror survey completed just a month ago. In a hypothetical matchup in which voters were asked whether they would prefer Bush or an unnamed Democrat winning the 1992 presidential election, 43 percent said they preferred a Democrat; 41 percent Bush. That translates into a dead heat because the margin is within the 3 percentage point sampling error for this section of the poll.

"It is not easy to change sexual behavior, but hopefully with more people like Magic Johnson coming out and talking about their illness everyone will realize they are at risk and take more care," said Dr. Michael Merson, head of the U.N. health agency's AIDS program. Merson said large-scale effectiveness tests of possible AIDS vaccines are planned for Thailand, Uganda, Rwanda'and Brazil nations with some of the highest AIDS rates.

The majority of the heterosexually infected people are in the developing world, particularly in Africa, and this group is still only a small percentage of the total AIDS cases in North America and Europe, the Geneva-based agency said in an extensive report. The U.N. group says up to 5,000 people are infected with AIDS each day around the world, and officials fear an increase in pregnant women infecting their babies.

Awareness about heterosexual transmission of the AIDS virus was heightened after basketball star Magic Johnson announced Thursday he had the HIV virus and said he had no homosexual affairs. In the United States, 3 percent In 1985, only some 250 AIDS cases due to heterosexual transmission were reported. In 1990, the annual number of cases had risen to 3,100, a 1 2-fold Increase. It is estimated that as many as 1 00,000 adults may already have been infected heterosexually. WESTERN EUROPE Between 1985 and 1990, there was a nine-fold increase in the number of AIDS cases due to heterosexual transmission, from 149 to 1,309.

By MICHAEL MOORE ol Ihe Missoulian The long arm of Geraldo Rivera reached into Montana last week. On an episode of the television personality's "Now It Can Be Told" show, Rivera claimed that Stanley Dean Baker paroled from the Montana State Prison after a notorious cannibal murder in Park County had links to the San Francisco area's even more notorious Zodiac murders.

Rivera claimed that Baker may have killed a young woman in the San Francisco area in late 1969, a woman authorities say was killed by the man who called himself Zodiac. Twenty-one years ago, Baker pleaded guilty to the Park County murder of a Great Falls social worker, James Michael Schlosser, whose body washed up at the feet of a mortified fisherman on the Yellowstone River.
