Current reforms in the Soviet Union Include legal reorganization, Sukharev said. In a question-and answer session, New York Attorney General Robert Abrams asked about the Association of Soviet Lawyers' collaboration with the Anti-Zionist Committee in Sublishing a book warning Soviet ews of the consenuences of emigrating and contending Zionists sided the Nazis during World War II. "The White Book," as it Is called, slso made some "objectionable" observations about the United States, Abrams said. "Is the ASL going to disassociate Itself from these kinds of pronouncements?" the attorney general asked. Sukharev replied that allegations of anti-Semitism were unfounded.

"I'm of Russian ethnic origin and live in the same community in my country with people of Jewish origin. Many citizens of Jewish origin are much better than some Russians I know," he said. "Our principal ideology provides for friendship of all nationalities which live in the Soviet Union." Responding to questions from Abrams and Attorney General Robert Stephan of Kansas, Sukharev said the Soviet Union has instituted new emigration laws that allow relatives to be reunited with families in other countries. COEUR D'ALENE, Idaho (AP) A meeting of the National Assoc a-tion of Attorneys General entered Its third day today amid controversy about the presence of members of a Sovie. lawyers' organization.

On Tuesday, trie president Of the Association of Soviet Lawyers told the gathering that allegations of anti-Semitism by his group are unfounded. The conference ends Thursday. Today's agenda featured an attorneys general roundtable discus- slon of "hot topics" and a luncheon address by Rex Lee, former U.S. Solicitor General. On Tuesday, Alexander Sukharev told American law officials the Soviet Union has made great strides in permitting Jews and others to emigrate.

Earlier In the day, U.S. Attorney General Edwin Meese III discussed legal Issues such as federalism and immigration reform at a session. He later spoke briefly to reporters about new mandatory AIDS testing guidelines and other topics. About 25 demonstrators gathered peacefully outside the resort hotel where the meeting was held, denouncing the several Soviets in attendance as pseudo-professionals and cohorts of an anti-Jewish movement. Sukharev said he viewed the meeting as "an opportunity for dialogue" and added he knew ''very well" of the American Revolution and the historical importance of democratic ideals.

WASHINGTON (AD The federal government should allocate money to expedite construction and improvement of steel head and salmon passage facilities at Army Corps of Engineers' damn on the Columbia and Snake rivers, says Rep. Larry Craig, It Idaho. "These fish passage projects are in desperate need of improvement," Craig told a House subcommittee Tuesday. "We're going to have to work fast to improve the burvival rates of these precious Northwest mm resources." Before development of hydroelectric generating facilities, the Columbia River Basin produced 10 million to 16 million salmon and steelhead each year, Craig said. The basin now produces about 2.5 million smolts annually, with the Nor-thwest Power Planning Council estimating another 5 million to 11 million are killed by the hydro projects as they attempt to migrate from inland waters to the Pacific Ocean.

Nineteen Shoshone residents were notified by letter earlier this spring that they would have ten days to clean up their property or the city would do it for them and add the cost to their property taxes.

Mayor Tim Ridinger said the cleanup, and the deadline, is authorized under the city's fire safely and nuisance ordinance. But some property owners say their taxes already have been increased too much, and they object to being given a deadline to clean up lots they contend are not fire hazards, "You sent me this notice when other places and even city lots are more of a problem than mine," Clarence Magoffin, who owns eight unimproved lots in Shoshone, told the council. Magoffin said taxes on the lots, some of which are mostly lava outcrop-pings, have gone from $4.78 on all eight to $132.80.

And, state officials say little relief is on the way. Reservoirs in northern Idaho and the upper Snake River area have adequate water, but southwestern and south-central Idaho would need above-average precipitation this summer to break even, said Jerry Beard, snow survey supervisor for the Soil Conservation Service.

But the National Weather Service in Boise predicts only average rainfall for June and July, said John Gilbert, a weather service specialist. Statewide, the snowpack was so low June 1 that it wasn't measured, Beard said. i Streamflows remain drastically causing the streams to peak a month early this year, he said. As a result, reservoirs are being used to provide irrigation water about a month ahead of schedule and may not be able to meet demand through the summer. The early draw on water storage especially will hurt farmers in Washington, Canyon, Ada and Blaine counties, where reservoirs are substantially below capacity.

Beard said. Irene Collins, a hydrologic technician for the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation, said Lucky Peak Reservoir on the Boise River is at 100 percent of average, but water is being released from Arrowrock Reservoir and Anderson Ranch above to keep levels high for recreation there, she said. "Lucky Peak will stay full as long as possible, and we'U draft Ar- rowrock and Anderson Ranch down to the bare bones, Ms. Collins said.

In contrast, Cascade Reservoir on the Payette River is at 88 percent of average and Deadwood has 90 percent, she said.

Smith's relatives in California advised Munn that he left there May 11 on his way to Florida. Smith telephoned home from Idaho around May 13 and was later reported missing, Munn said! Twin Falls County, however, was not contacted by California authorities and why the victim traveled to Idaho enroute to Florida is not known, Munn An autopsy peiiormed on the badly-decomposed body indicated Smith had died of multiple blows to the head. A wine bottle in a paper sack found nearby contained a sales slip dated May 14 which was traced to a Stinker Service Station in Heyburn.

Munn said a clerk there recalls that particular sale of wine and her description fits Smith's closely. At the time the body was found, officers said it appeared it may have been thrown from a vehicle and rolled into the brush. A skeleton was found in the same general area in March 1985, the victim of multiple stab wounds, but the Twin Falls County sheriff doubts there is a connection between the two deaths..
