said "all the while keeping the beard in full force and effect" "We'll do it in a manner so there will be no gaps," Maxey said of the efforts to extend the beard- because they are not spelled out in the company's contract with the meatcutten union. "Will i or do I intend shaving my beard? Certainly not," Scott said. "This entire situation has become a matter of principle." Another element of the situation bothers Scott, who argues, "I was in on the negotiations for a new working contract with my employer. No one during those sessions said one word about my beard." Edward G. Cuzzetto secretary-treasurer of the Amalgamated Meatcutter's Union, Local 494, offered his "unquestionable support in this issue.

"It's been great." Things might stay that way for a while. Court orders could protect Scott's chin for several months as appeal proceedings wind on, according to his attorney, Carl Maxey. A current court restraining order will keep Scott working and whiskered, despite the company's three-week-old beard ban, until Superior Court Judge Donald N. Olson's Tuesday memorandum decision comes down as a signed judgment in about a week, Maxey said. Maxey and Scott then will go directly to the state appeals court, asking for both a reconsideration of the decision and an extension of the restraining order, the attorney said.

Utter of being "soft on crime." But they decided Wednesday to take no action against him. The-prosecutors rejected moves to pass a resolution censuring Utter and another to seek someone to run against him when he comes up for re-election in November 1980, said Mike Redmond, the prosecutors' administrative assistant. Utter replies Utter laughed when in' formed Thursday of the prosecutors' contentions. "A judge has got to do his job regardless of criticism," he said. "It is not an issue of being soft or hard on crime but basing a decision on my oath to uphold the constitution of the United States and the constitution and laws of Washington.

I call them as I see them, like any judge." He added, "On the Supreme Court, no one judge renders an opinion. It's the collective action of nine judges and it takes five votes from people of widely varied backgrounds to make a majority opinion." Trend stirs concern "The prosecutors all seemed to be concerned al)- out the trend of his opinions," said Redmond. "No one individual wanted to hang the guy but there was a lot of discontent over his re, cord as a justice." He said Utter has "consis- tently thrown out cases be cause of technicalities of the law. He's been a strong influence in letting criminals go free." Grant County case Redmond said the matter came up in connection with a criminal case out of Grant County. Prosecutor Paul Klasen had been involved in a murder trial that took longer than expected and called the Supreme Court asking for a continuance of arguments on an appeal.

Utter refused and Kiasen, whose chief deputy had quit to go into private law prac. tice, was unable to appear for the appeal arguments. Prosecutors felt that if Kla, sen had been a defense at, torney instead of a pro-- secutor, the continuance would have been granted without question, Redmond said.
