Payday Delay For City Aides Several factors have made it imposeible for Salt Lake City to pay its employes today and the payroll staff will be forced to work Saturday so that employes can get paychecks next Monday. Lawrence A.

Duane Sperry and Utah Highway Patrolman Norman Anderson were heading the investigation. In addition to the multiple fatality crash, a youth was killed in a pickup truck rollover on a mountain road in Carbon County early this morning and an Orem woman was killed in a rollover Thursday near St.

The Stevenson youth was riding in the back of a pickup truck which rolled off a mountain road into a wash four miles north of Sunnyside, Carbon County, at 3:30 a.m. today.

Yet the Utah Shakespearean Festival's opening offering, The Comedy Of Errors, was presented splashingly, almost lavishly, oa the handsome stage. It is the first of, this year's three plays that will be given in sequence from now through Aug. 12. King Lear will be given Friday nighf and Winters Tale Saturday.

Mark Madsen, assistant attome general, told this to the State Road Commission today.

Madsen reported that a federal district judge has ruled the the Department of Transportation acted in excess of its authority in withholding apportionment of its funds to Missouri. This case probably will be decided by the U.S. Supreme Court within a year, he said. If Missouri wins, Utah also would stand to receive the $75 million withheld from this state as an inflation controlling measure, he said. Utahs current apportionment from the national highway trust fund for the 1973 fiscal year is $42 million, Henry C.

Helland, state director of highways said. In other action the commission programmed another $15,000 for repair of the causeway west from Syracuse to Great Salt Lake State Park. Blaine J. Kay, state highway engineer reported that storms washed out. part of an additional section of the causeway to the island.

Already obligated for causeway repair is $135,000. SECTION h7 5 77 CITY, UTAH 1 Deadline For KCC plan for controlling sulfur dioxide and particulate emissions, but the state has until 1975 to implement the plan. Presumably, if Utah did not require KCC to meet standards as outlined within the submitted plan and approved by the Federal Environmental Protection Agency then the federal agency could legally take over enforcement of emission standards. Under provisions of the 1975 standards, KCC would have to curtail operations, when emissions exceeded federally approved state standards. A proposal that KCC be required to curtail exceeding state standards prior to 1975 was turned down by the committee.

KCC officials said such action would be the same as shutting them down." After 1975, according to a KCC spokesman, we would just shut her down whenever emissions exceeded standards, although some 6-8 hours would Sec KENNECOTT on B-8 Shakespeare to an evening of beguiling spectacle. Consequently. the tendency is to strip the decor down to essentials and allow the producer and director to wink at Shakespeares text across the footlights at the audience. For sure, something along this line is behind the concept of Richard Filcher in his "Comedy Of Errors." And so entertaining an evening does Filcher make of The Comedy, one doubts whether or not it merits all the scorn that has been leveled at it.

Filcher is fortunate in his cast. Clayton Berry as Antiph-olous of Syracuse has comic resources of his own which he is able to spin out when Shakespeares dont go quite far enough.

Both Berry and James Dean (the other Antipholous) succeed in looking strikingly alike but have the good grace to sound a little different, so that the audience is not involved in SALT LAKE Friday, July 14, 1972 Pollution Extended Kennecott Copper Corporation Thursday was granted a three year extension of its variance on sulfur dioxide and particulate pollution. The official decision to allow KCC continued operation until 1975 came at a meeting of the Utah Air Conservation Committee. The committee earlier granted a one-year extension which expired July 1. UACC Executive Secretary Dr. Grant Winn said the unanimous decision was not a license for KCC to continue just as they have, protested by some conservationists, but rather a realistic approach to the problem.

The only other alternative the committee had was to shut them down, Winn emphasized. He said KCC must make periodic reports to the committee on progress of pollution control equipment and implementation of technology to control sulfur dioxide and particulate emissions exceeding state standards. Utah was required last year federal law to submit a son, from preliminary drawings by Dr. Cook. The dedicatory prayer was pronounced by Watson Adams, a patriarch in the LDS Church.

Formerly, the favorite way to present an early, doubtful or. difficult Shakespeare offering was to choreograph and decorate it so that its intellectual deficiencies were hidden in a borrowed balletic splendor.

Shakespeare overstepped all reasonable bounds of probability.

Far from attempting to hide the many weaknesses of Shakespeares early and short (only 1.771 lines) play, Filcher derives much strength for his production from his amused apprehension of them.

Her use of melodramatic tone and ges-. ture creates comedy quite independent of the text. The experts verdict on the Comedy Of Errors is usually that it acts better than it i reads.
