The House Rules Committee probably will be asked to set a time limit on floor debate on the resolution of perhaps 60 or 100 hours, including the time spent voting. The only other way to make sure the impeachment debate does not go on indefinitely is to get the unanimous consent of all House members to limit debate, something the House leadership does not think possible.

Froehlich of Wisconsin. The momentous decision was sealed at 7 05 p.m. EDT, when Rep. Edward Mezvinsky, 47, a freshman Democrat from Iowa who was blinking back tears, cast the crucial 20th vote for a majority on the 38 member panel. The vote, a foregone conclusion except for its exact margin, was signaled a few moments earlier when, by an identical tally of 27 to 11, the committee accepted a substitute version drafted by Rep.

By an overwhelming, bipartisan vote of 27 to 11, the House Judiciary Committee Saturday night accused Richard Nixon of obstructing justice in the Watergate cover-up, and recommended he be the first president to be impeached, tried and removed from office. Six Republicans joined the 2l-membcr Democratic majority in approving a nine-count indictment against the President, less than two years after he won re-election by a landslide of historic proportions.

"JAKE" GARN Mrs. Clark, the rirst woman ever nominated by the GOP in the First District, said she believed Inkley entered the race because many GOP party leaders didn't think a woman could beat Ferguson. "In the past the women have always had a hard time winning elections in the Republican Party," she said, attributing the difficulty to Utah's Mormon culture, which says women should stay in the home. "1 had to work awfully hard for this," she said. "But let me stress that I am definitely not a women's libber Commissioner Harmsen, 32, led the balloting in the Second District, capturing 240 delegate votes.

Eliminated from the congressional race were State Rep. Lynn Hilton, Deputy Attorney General Robert Hansen, engineer Doug Decker and advertising writer John Dwan. Harmsen said he was pleased with the outcome and glad he was facing Beinap instead of one of the more moderate Republicans. Beinap said he was glad to see Harmsen become his opponent.

President Confident Of No Impeachment a Senate candidate, Garn faces the possibility of having to vote on the impeachment of President Nixon should the impeachment proceedings extend past the first of next year. Asked how he would vote, the mayor said, "I would be foolish to answer that question. If I said anything now, it would be like a juror committing himself before the trial." "I also think the senators who are now opening their mouths about impeachment ought to close them." he added. Garn criticized both Congress and President Nixon for engaging in "impeachment politics." His opponent. Owens, sits on the House Judiciary Committee and voted Saturday to impeach Nixon for obstruction of justice.

Senate race Utahns have been expecting for months, nominating Jake Garn without a primary to Tin against Rep. Wayne Owens.

D-L'tah. Garn. mayor of Salt Lake City, captured nearly 88 per cent of the delegate votes 1.750 ballots. He needed 70 per cent to avoid a primary. Two weeks ago, Owens won his party's nomination with 70.3 per cent of the delegate votes.

But the Republicans will have primaries in both the state's congressional districts. Ogden businessman Ron Ink-ley and Dorothy Clark of Provo won the spots on the First District Congressional primary ballot eliminating American Fork airline pilot Joe Ferguson. Salt Lake City Commissioner Stephen M. Harmsen and businessman H. Austin Beinap survived from a field of six candidates in the Second District The nearly 2.000 delegates attending the convention also adopted a conservative party platform which supports the state's "Right to Work' law and reinstatement of the death penalty; opposes laws liberalizing abortion and federal land-use planning; and denounces the Watergate break-in Garn, 41, has been endorsed by many state party leaders including retiring Sen Wallace F.

Bennett, R-Utah the man the mayor hopes to replace Bennett stopped short of repeating the endorsement in a brief speech to the convention, but he urged the delegates to avoid a primary and send the Republican candidate into the genera! election on an equal footing with Owens. "I can think of no worse fate than retiring and having my seat go to a Democrat," said Bennett, who has served four terms in the Senate. The delegate!" heeded the advice. Garn's nearest challenger was Weber State College professor Dale Hawkins, with 153 votes. Byron Hampton, brother of Utah Democratic Gov.

N.J gaveled the committee into adjournment until 10:30 a m. EDT Monday, when it will take up the second major impeachment article charging Nixon with abusing the powers of his office. But Saturday's vote on the cover-up charge assured that the House of Representatives will debate the impeachment resolution, probably starting in late August.

If the House impeaches Nixon something it has not done since President Andrew Johnson was impeached in 1868 the President will go on trial in the Senate, a possibility for which Senate leaders already were planning When the committee voted, Nixon was secluded a continent away at San Clemente, Calif with his family and aides.

He said Waldheim had turned down offers from two unnamed countries to send soldier to help keep the peace on Cyprus Sharp expressed some skepticism about the long term value of the Cyprus peacekeeping operation, which he said might be "inhibiting the negotiations" between Greek and Turkish Cypriots.

The delegates postponed a meeting of foreign ministers from Greece, Turkey and Britain from Saturday evening to Sunday morning to give experts more time to complete the text. Greek Foreign Minister George Mavros and his Turkish colleague Turan Gunes visited the Palais des Nations, scene of the talks, to check on the experts' progress and give instructions. "The situation looks quite good and I am reservedly optimistic," MavTos said later. "I hope that we will finish tomorrow (Sunday)." Earlier, Athens government officials and delegates in Geneva had predicted an agreement might be signed late Oram 91 Service Will Begin Monday A new emergency 911 number will be placed into service for Orem residents beginning Monday, according to Mountain Bell District Manager Merrill Hymas.

"The new 911 number should be much easier to remember during an emergency situation," Mr. Hymas noted. "By dialing 911, a 224- or 255- prefix customer in need of assistance will be connected to a special 911 dispatcher for police, fire or ambulance service." The 911 system provides a number of emergency-features, one of which is called a called-party-hold which holds up the trunk line on which an emergency call was made after the caller hangs up. This is vital in determining the origin of a call, Mr. Hymas pointed out.

Another feature is forced disconnect by which a 911 operator can disconnect or release a line if children are playing on a line or the operator is getting harrassing calls. The forced disconnect reopens the line to handle incoming calls. Mr. Hymas also noted that if a call is made from a phone booth, the caller's money will be returned. Edgemont residents or others living outside Orem City who have 224- or 225- pretixes should continue to call police agencies ir.

Bv RICHARD LERNER WASHINGTON tUPI) -President Nixon remains confident that the full House will not impeach him because there is not enough evidence to support the article of impeachment approved by the House Judiciary Committee, his chief spokesman said Saturday night. Press Secretary Ronald L. Ziegler, reacting to the committee's 27-11 vote to recommend impeachment for obstruction of justice in the Watergate cover-up, said the President's confidence was built on the knowledge that "he has commited no impeachable offense." The House, he said, "will recognize that there simply is not the evidence to support this or any other article of impeachment and will not vote to impeach." Nixon's personal reaction was not immediately disclosed by Ziegler or other aides. Ziegler had announced earlier in the day that Nixon would not comment on the im)eachment drive at this time.

Mansfield implied the recess was a vacation. Burger hotly disputed that as a "myth" and said all the justices would be studving petitions for review which flow onto the court docket daily.

Burger, his historic decision on executive privilege behind him, wonders if he will be called to preside at an impeachment trial of President Nixon The usual three-month recess until October was shortened by five weeks because of a delayed decision on cross-district school desegregation in Detroit and the executive privilege decision ordering Nixon to surrender more Watergate tapes.

The recess began Thursda. after the Detroit case was decided. For a brief time, the recess itself was at issue when Senate County Sheriff Mack Holley said the thing that bothered him was the presence of "so many young people in the 14 to 16 year age bracket," and he said the security people who were checking the gate the concert were turning away those who carried stronger alcohol, but were letting in those with beer "The security people were only concerned about the tickets and not letting anyone in who had not paid. They were not interested in patrolling anything else." the sheriff stated. Commissioner Store said he had reports of broken bottles all over the highway, of promiscuous acts at the concert, of people not using the toilet.
