Scott M. Matheson Tuesday called for a realignment of coal industry labor-management contract bargaining to provide a separate Western states' working agreement. He was here for the second annual S. -Japan Coal Conference arranged by the WESTPO Coal Export Task Force.

The Utah governor is chairman of the task force for the Western Governors Policy Office. He noted that Western surface coal mine operators and the United Mine Crews Slow Goshute Blaze Related Story, D-2 T-tyuiruui ST. AUGUSTINE, Fla. lAP) Two Utah college students used the wind and pedal power to make a cross-country journey that ended Tuesday in Americas oldest city. Jack Hawkins, 24, Gastonia.

N.C. and John DeVilbiss, 26, Brigham City, Utah, both juniors at Brigham Young University, armed in St. Augustine around 10 a.m. on their sailtrikes, $700 contraptions that look like tricycles with a colorful sail on top. The oddysey began May 1.

in Santa Maria, and covered 3,300 miles across the continent. The men averaged 60 miles a day, but it took them three weeks to cross Texas. Hawkins, a physical education major, and Devilbiss, studying journalism, kept to back roads to avoid big-city traffic. Sometimes they camped, other times residents they met offered their homes. We werent able to see the sights, but we were able to see the people, said Hawkins.

He added they had no trouble along the way as people opened their hearts and their homes to us. Hawkins said neither he nor DeVilbiss spent much time making practice trips for the long journey and that both found this was a lot more work than we thought it would be. They added that they hope to write about their adventure, which cost them six tires and $1,400 to complete. "1 want to emphasize that the responsibility of planning for and mitigating socio-economic impacts is a joint responsibility of government and mdustry. he said "The day is gone when socio-eoconomic impact mitigation meant sponsoring a Little League baseball team," he added.

"Of course, a point can be reached where government kills the goose that lays the carbon egg. Environmental Laws Gov. Matheson cautioned that indus try should be "very careful before it supports the kind of proposals which amount to gutting the various environmental laws. There is understandable enthusiasm and even euphoria, over the presidents plans to reduce unnecessary regulations, he said. But let us not participate in a feeding frenzy, a giddy orgy of anti-regulation that could reap a whirlwind of opposition that might very well devour the real and important progress that we have made over the last decade.

The governor, at the same time, admonished environmental and other interest groups to use restraint and reason in their approach to avoid a polarization that could be Associated Press Laserphoto Hawkins end cross-sailtrike journey.

Officials revised the acreage burned downward slightly to 3,540 from the 4,000 estimated earlier. Charred at elevations ranging from 6,500 to 10,200 feet were pinon pine, juniper, aspen, mountain mahogany and fir. The fire is believed to have begun late Saturday or early Sunday by children burning leaves on the Goshute Indian vi Executions Fail to Cut Slay Rate Library Board No Trace Found Workers of America recognized distinctive characteristics of the Western coal industry by negotiating a Western agreement several years ago.

Underground Mines Pact "I believe the time has come to extend the principle of a specific Western contract to our underground coal mines, he said in remarks prepared for the conference. Im not unmindful that Western members of the UMWA ratified the 1981 labor contract by a two-to-one margin, but those union mines remained idle until issues of interest only to the Eastern coal industry were resolved 70 days later, Gov. Matheson said. A Western realignment of labor-management relations would require that an alliance representing Western producers replace the Bituminous Coal Operators Association at the bargaining table, he pointed out. Proceed Immediately I urge Western mine operators not to delay three years until the recently negotiated contract expires, but to proceed immediately to form such an alliance for this vital purpose, Gov.

Matheson said. The Western states have a political foundation of pragmatic leadership which can balance the delicate, but mutual goals of development profitability and the public good, he added. Labor stability has played a role in Western coal today comprising 26 percent of total U.S. production compared with 6 percent in 1970, he said. The U.S.

Department of Energy projects Western coal will provide over 50 percent of all coal produced in the United States by 1990. Also contibuting to the recent Western coal industry growth, the governor Of Hang Glider Seeking Funds RICHMOND, Cache County (AP) The Cache County Sheriffs Department Tuesday called off the search for a hang glider and its pilot which witnesses had said appeared to be in trouble before it flew behind a ridge and disappeared. Sheriff Douglas Bodrero said about a dozen searchers could find no trace of wreckage or any evidence there hid been a crash in the foothills east of here. About 80 acres blackened is part of the Deep Creek wilderness study area, earlier considered to be established as a wilderness preserve. When a person is ready to kill, Bowers said, he can be provoked by an example of killing.

And an execution is such an example, he said. In Nevada, where Jesse Bishop was executed on Oct. 22, 1979, the per capita murder rate dropped from 16.8 in 1979 to 15.1 in 1980. Until then, the murder rate had seesawed upward since the death penalty was reinstated in 1973. In Indiana, where Steven Judy was electrocuted in March, the per capita murder rate has fluctuated since the death penalty was reinstated in 1973.

Statistics since Judys death are unavailable. No Credible Evidence Bowers said he has not seen any credible evidence that the death penalty deters crime. Assistant Attorney General Ray Marky of Florida disagrees. If executions were carried out promptly, Marky said, they wguld be effective. "But the way it is being administered today, he said, 1 doubt that it would have any impact whatever.

Any law that becomes a dead letter will deter nobody. By Debbye Hale Associated Press Writer Most states where executions have taken place in recent years have not seen a lower murder rate. And in Arkansas, the number of murders per 100,000 people has increased since 1973 when the death penalty was reinstated. In 1973, there were 8.8 murders per 100,000 people. In 1980, that figure was 9.1 murders per 100,000 people.

Gov. Frank Whites press aide, Barbara Pardue, said the governor believes the law has failed to deter crime because there hasnt been an execution in Arkansas since 1964. She said the law doesnt deter crime if you have a capital punishment law and a guy can sit on death row five or six years without ever having to file an appeal. Murder Rate Rises In Florida, where John Spenkelink was electrocuted in May 1979, most supporters of the death penalty thought the states per capita murder rate would decline. Instead, it has risen almost four points above the 1978 level of 10.6 murders per 100,000 people.

In Utah, a few potential murderers may have been frightened when Gary Gilmore was shot to death by a firing squad on Jan. 17, 1977 but apparently not for long. Although Utahs per capita murder rate fell from 4.5 to 3.5 in 1977, it has since climbed to 4.8. Flag Cut at Chapel LOGAN (AP) Members of the Cache County Library Board asked county commissioners Tuesday for $6,000 for bookmobile service. Glenna Boyce, board chairwoman, told commissioners that bookmobile funding was cut 25 percent by the 1981 Utah Legislature.

She said bookmobile use is increasing. The countys contract with Logan for library service expires in 1983 and county residents might be forced to go without bookmobiles if commissioners fail to provide the money, Ms. Boyce said. A breakdown of the acreage burned issued by Terri Tunell of the Bureau of Land Management is 2.900 on the Goshute Indian Reservation, 230 BLM and 400 combination state and private land. An American flag was cut down from a flagpole at Church of Jesus Christ pf Latter-day Saints at 1600 E.

Creek Road (6200 South), according to sheriffs deputies who said the flag is worth about $100.

People argue that the death penalty should have a deterrent effect, William Bowers said in a telephone interview. Thats the opposite of what were seeing here. PLUS HIGH INTEREST EOR SAVING Bowers, author of Executions in America and director of the universitys Center for Applied Social Research, said he studied homicides that occurred one month after each of the approximate 600 executions in the state of New York since 1907.

He said he found that there were two more homicides than usual during each of those months.
