THE DAILY UTAH Volume 84 No. 18 University of Utah October 25. 1974 Candidates turn to 2Ei' economic by DAVID HAMPSHIRE Chronicle Staff Steve Harmsen Thursday denied that he had ordered photographs to be t3ken in the May investigation of city employees, but admitted that the probe itself was his responsibility. Harmsen explained that he was trying to verify charges made by his department heads before taking any action. "I was really trying to give the employees the benefit of the doubt," he said.

"I did not order the photographs to be taken I only ordered the investigation." Sparse crowd Commissioner Harmsen's remarks came during the second half of the debate doubleheader in the Union ballroom. All four Congressional candidates were present. The lunch-hour crowd was sparse in comparison to that which A Candidates' Fair panel of (left to right) Wayne Owens, moderator and law school dean Samuel Thurman, "Jake" Garn and Bruce Bangerter Senate candidates issues listened to the Senatorial contestants. The photograph controversy touched off a discussion that involved all the candidates. Allan Howe (Dem.) remarked that he thought the pictures were "a violation cf one's individual rights." Roben Schafer (AIP) concurred, S3ying that it is "more important that we be protected from the government than that the government be protected from us." The moderator steered the discussion onto other issues; inflation received priority from all candidates.

Deficit spending Howe and Harmsen agreed that deficit spending is at the heart of the problem. Both blamed the military for compounding the difficulties. Howe wondered why we were paying $50 million apiece for the C-5A cargo plane when the Boeing continued on page 3 "Mflfl are Mrs. Leo A.

The Park Building's Miriam Palmer dies issues of their Senate campaign face off "All the good he did doesn't outweigh the fact he almost destroyed a democracy" was Bangerter's entire comment on Nixon. Owens called the pardon a terrible abuse of the idea of equal justice, and suggested Garn, because of remarks make on an earlier television debate, had "waffled" his position concerning the pardon. In rebuttal, Garn said he had always supported the pardon, but its timing confused him, and then demanded an apology from Owens for a statement he had made on that same television program implying that Garn supported national land-use legislation, which Gam never did, he said. Owens stood firm, however, and cailed Garn the dirty trickster, receiving the support of Bangerter, who said, "Nothing is dirtier than calling your opponent a mudslinger." Bangerter, in closing, said, "It really is a two-party system; the American Party and the Republicrats. If one of them does get in, it's not going to make any difference which one." Garn and Owens both closed by calling for the people to investigate the facts for themselves, make comparisons and vote accordingly.

ACLU to a discussed the Thursday. and does something about a reduction of the money supply." Owens believes deficit spending is under control, citing last year's 53 billon deficit as example, and said the real issue is nonenforcement of antitrust legislation. Jake Garn, pointing out the major cause of inflation is defecit spending, described the areas he felt could stand some budget cuts. One is the military, where he advocated reduction of troops on active duty and an increase in the reserves, citing Isreal as an example of where this has worked, and closer monitoring of weapons production programs. He also indicated that the Department of Health, Education and Welfare, with a current budget of 120 million -the highest ever could stand some reductions, especially in the Office of Economic Opportunity, Commumnity Action Programs and administrative areas.

Bangerter, whose answers stayed short and to the point during the program, opposed both gas rationing and domestic oil production incentives, calling for trust-busting which would lead to more domestic competition. Garn would give new incentives for new refineries, and keep the domestic incentives, but since, "The greatest problem is dependence on foreign oil sources," he would repeal the overseas depletions allowance. At this point, Garn was asked why he had supported Nixon, and responded that he still supports his foreign policy and efforts at government decentralization, but "all the good he did was obscured by Watergate." He disagreed with the timing of the pardon, saying it should have come after the impeachment proceedings had run their Course, but supported because of the historical punishment of Nixon and his descendents he felt would occur.

They by JIM ANDERSON Chronicle staff Two major issues dealt with by the Senate candidates at Thursday's Candidates" Fair in the Union Ballroom were inflation specifically budget cutting and the oil problem. "The consumers are not the cause, but the victims of inflation," said Democratic Congressman Wayne Owens, He called on big business to "share some of the pain" of counter-inflationary measures. He also favored a $10 billion to $12 billion cut in the military budget to be accomplished by bringing most of the troops home, cutting back on weapons, and cutting off all foreign military and economic aid, except aid sent for humanitarian reasons.

American party candidate Bruce Bangerter said he would cut off all foreign aid, saying, "It's time to start spending money on cut back on those areas which have been abused in the military and social programs. Repablican Mayor Jake Garn was asked why balancing the budget will make a differenne in the rate of inflation and why he favored high interest rates. In his response, he pointed to the $30 billon in tax money spent each year paying interest on the $400 billon national debt as reason enough to begin balancing the budget. He doesn't favor high interest rates until "Congress balances the budget Monson funeral rites Saturday Funeral arrangements for Charles Monson have been set for Saturday at 1 p.m. in the East Millcreek Stake Center.

Joy pointed out that individuals must take an oath upon registration that they are residents, and may be prosecuted and jailed if they take the oath and are not, in fact, residents. He said that as a result, the burden of proof is on the registrar, not on the individual registering. The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) plans to file suit today against Sterling W. Evans, Salt Lake county clerk, for refusing to register students to vote without proof of residence, and asks that students who have had problems registering contact their office. Students should contact the ACLU at 521-9289 sometime today.

According to Jim Joy of the ACLU, students are needed as plaintiffs in the case. Joy says Evans has been requiring "all sorts of extraordinary proof of residence" of students.
