In the past, Vorhauer has expressed a willingness to donate the home to the University of Montana, along with an endowment of $1 million to perpetually cover the cost of maintaining it for conferences and retreats, if he can find someone willing to share the cost of -that overall contribution. He also has talked about putting the home to use as a treatment center for drug and alcohol rehabilitation, focusing on corporate executives, movie stars and others who can afford an extremely high-end program in secluded surroundings.

It would apply only to new cars. Bob Martin, air pollution specialist at the Missoula City-County Health Department, said the regulations just made it to his desk, but will "definitely help" Missoula meet federal clean air re: quirements.

Martin is writing a carbon monoxide attainment plan for the valley. The document is required of all municipalities that violate the law. Hidinger, at the EPA, said the new-car emission limits would add an estimated $19 to $31 to sticker fleet in 1993. Full compliance would be required in 1995. At present, cars and trucks must meet emission limits when the outside air temperature is between 68 and 86 degrees.

Under the new rules, the carbon monoxide limit would kick in at 20 degrees. EPA spokesman Jack.Hidinger said Wednesday that carbon monoxide emissions increase in cold weather because it takes a car engine so long to reach 68 degrees. Starting a car in 20-degree weather increases emissions by 90 percent: Automakers, not car owners, prices. To meet the standards, carmakers would need to either improve engine calibration, add more air to the catalyst or install multi-point fuel-injection systems. Hidinger said the agency will take public comment on the rule change at a hearing in Ann Arbor, near the nation's largest car-making factories.

A final set of standards is expected next summer. Carbon monoxide is regulated because it restricts human oxygen intake. It is particularly harmful to heart patients and people with breathing problems." Cars and trucks are the No. 1 source of the pollutant. Missoula residents would breathe less carbon monoxide-tainted air in the winter under new ''cold weather" auto-emission standards proposed by the Environmental Protection Agency.

The city violated the federal carbon monoxide maximum once last winter during the Christmas shopping season. The proposed rule change would hold new cars and trucks to a so-called "cold-start" standard, starting with 40 percent of the Always up for 'holy war Iran sides with Saddam Humbling abodes Aspen's housing chief can't make the mortgage ASPEN, Colo. (AP) The housing authority director in this ritzy mountain resort area is resigning because he and his wife cannot afford the sky-high housing prices. "We would still like to own an American dream," said Jim Adamski, outgoing director of the Aspen-Pitkin County Housing Authority. But with limited space for building and price tags for homes hovering at $1 million, that's difficult on a $46,500 salary, said Adamski, who has been living in nearby Carbondale, a 45-minute commute.

Adamski is going to be housing director in Yakima, where he said he's been looking at a four-bedroom house with a two-car garage and circle driveway in "a nice part of town," for $98,000. In Aspen, $186,500 will buy a three-bedroom house in a subsidized employee housing project under construction if one is lucky enough to win a lottery to be allowed to buy it. Sixty-four families are trying for one of 13 single-family houses in the project. Adamski said he's also fed up with the politics, of housing in Aspen, charging that politicians campaign on the issue but don't get nails banged after the ballots are cpunted. "Housmg is a basic human need," he said.

The State Department said Wednesday that Iraqis in were holding about 80 American hostages and were intensifying their search for Americans in an effort to find more human shields to deter a possible U.S. military strike in the aftermath of Iraq's Aug. 2 invasion of Kuwait.

President Bush prepared a videotaped message to Iraq's citizens Wednesday in which he said, "We have no quarrel with the Iraqi people," and that Iraqis should blame hardships created by the embargo on their own government. Bush made the eight-minute tape after the Iraq government offered to send a TV crew to interview him and broadcast the interview on Iraqi television. Bush opted to make his own tape instead. White House officials said they doubted the entire message would be broadcast in Baghdad.
