Debate was scheduled on a bill allowing county agencies to pick up and dispose of strays. Rep. John Engler (R-Mt: Pleasant) offered an amendment that would also let counties enact ordinances for "weather modification." Democratic House Speak- er Bobby Crim promptly ruled the amendment out of order because the bill dealt with cats, not weather. "There's -an expression, 'It's raining cats and dogs,' " Engler retorted. "My question is, if I add dogs to the rain, would we then have a germane bill?" The bill-without Engler's amendment-was moved into position for a final vote, expected sometime this week.

Hot pants John Ervin of Springfield, Ill., is flaming ma with Sears. Roebuck & Co. A welder from Alton, Ervin was wearing a pair of Sears' thermal underwear when a spark from his torch dropned down his coveralls, "lodged in the groin area," and ignited the underwear. Before co-workers could pull Ervin from the narrow shaft in which he was working he was engulfed by flarpes and severely burned. Ervin went to court, claiming Sears failed to warn customers that the thermal underwear was flammable. But the justices ruled that Ervin's claim had . . . er . . . no foundation. Monkey see, monkey (lie For 15 years, a spider monkey named Cheetah was Clifford Wade's constant companion. After Wade died last week in Benton, Ky., the monkey was killed and buried with him. "He said he wanted to be buried with the monkey, and that's what he got," said Earnest Collins, the adminis- trator of Wade's estate. "The monkey was his best friend, his companion." Collins said Wade, 75, expressed the wish a few days before he died last Friday. Cheetah was put to sleep by a veterin- arian and placed in Wade's coffin. The two were buried together in a local cemetery. James who?

By AP and Reuter SALT LAKE CITY-Gary Gilmore, the convicted mur- derer whose execution was delayed despite his request that he be allowed to die, was found unconscious yes- terday in an apparent sui- cide pact with his, girl- friend, who was found com- atose in her apartment. Deputy Warden Leon Hatch said a note found in Gilmore's Utah State Prison cell said: "I leave all of my personal belong- ings to my mother." "HE TRIED to take his own life," prison medical technician Tom Anguay said. "He tried to OD." But doctors said that although both Gilmore and his girlfriend, Nicole Barrett, apparently took drug overdoses, Gilmore took a "sub-lethal dose" of 10 to 20 sleeping pills which would not have killed him even if he had received no treatment. Ambulance attendants said Gilmore almost died as he was rushed aw.ay from the prison gates onto the highway for the 20-mile drive to the hospital in Salt Lake City. They said he stopped breathing and had to be revived. GILMORE was listed in seri- ous condition at the University of Utah Medical Center last night, and hospital spokesman John Keahey said he would probably remain in a mild com- atose state for 12 to 24 hours before making a full recovery. But Barrett, a 20-year-old di- vorced mother of two, was in critical condition at another hos- pital after being found uncon- scious in her apartment in the small town of Springville, 20 miles south of here. lour hours after she was hos- pitalized, hospital administra- tor Grant Burson said she was still in a coma. He refused to say what her chances of sur- vival were. COUNTY OFFICIALS in Pro- vo said two sealed letters found near her were "very similar to suicide notes." The apparent suicide attempts came one day before Gilmore was scheduled to appear before the Utah Board of Pardons, which will consider whether to commute his death sentence to a lesser penalty. Gilmore has said that he wants to be exe- cuted by firing squad rather than spend the rest of his life in jail. A hospital spokesperson said yesterday that Gilmore definite- lv could not appear at today's board meeting. The governor's office announced that the case had been removed from the agenda, and Chairman George Latimer said it might be con- sidered at the board's next scheduled meeting beginning Dec. 8. PRISON AUTHORITIES said It was not known how Gilmore got sleeping pills. They said the inmate may have gotten them during visits from outsid- ers, hiding them under his tongue during later searches. Gilmore had been visited by his attorneys, Barrett and fam- ily members. Meanwhile, the Deseret News, in a copyrighted story yester- day, said Gilmore had expressed remorse for his two admitted killings in letters to Barrett, saying "hat murder is a means of venting rage and "it doesn't necessarily matter who gets murdered." See UTAH, Page 2 Carter plans meetings with Ford, Kissinger By The Associated Press President-elect Jimmy Carter arranged for meetings with President Ford and-Secretary of State Henry Kissinger as he stepped up his per- sonal involvement yesterday in his transition fron private citizen to president. Carter has left most of the transition work so far to aides but it was announced yesterday that Carter and Ford arranged a White House meeting in phone calls Monday night. The exact date and time of the session has not been set. THE PRESIDENT and President-elect will also be briefed Friday by CIA Director George Bush and sevefl intelligence experts. Their meeting with Kissinger will be the next day and will in- clude transition aides and Lawrence Eagleburger, deputy secretary of state for Ford's administra- tion. At the same time, Carter is beginning what he called "a careful and thorough and deliberate" process of screening the thousands of men and women who are being suggested for Cabinet posts and other high government positions. The Kissinger meeting will be the first en- couner between Carter and the man he accused of virtually usurping the powers of the presi- dency in the field of foreign affairs. During the campaign Carter said Kissinger ran an amoral, secre ive. "Lone Ranger" foreign policy. CARTER HAS declined to comment on sugges- Lions by some Democratic senators that Kissing- er be retained as a special envoy to continue peace negotiations in, the Middle East. Kissinger pledged yesterday to support Am- erican foreig. policy under Carter. He said he would see Carter in Plains, Ga., "to answer fully his questions and to cooperate to the ful est extent to bring about a smooth transition." THE SECRETARY said that "I cannot fully speak for the polities of the forthcoming admin- istration. Nevertheless the basic foreign policy See CARTER, Page 8 Committee finds reports on King death destroyed By AP and Reuter WASHINGTON - A lawyer for the House committee prob- ing the murder of the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., said yesterday that documents re- lating to the case have been destroyed since the investiga- tion began. Chief counsel Richard Sprague said he had not been officially notified of the destruction but said he had learned of it "from an individual who has interview- ed other people." SPRAGUE SAID the docu- ments "would have been in the possession of law enforcement authorities" and were "rele- vant to our investigation." "I have b'een advised that the destruction has taken place since it was announced in Sep- tember that this committee would be investigating" the nurders of King and President John Kennedy, he said. Sprague would not say which law enforcement agency had the documents. However, com- mittee member Rep. Henry Gonzalez (D-Tex.), told a te- porter he believed the docu- ments had been in the posses- sion of authorities in Tennessee, where King was killed in 1968. BEHIND CLOSED DOORS, the committee voted to issue subpoenas for information on the murders. Sprague declined to specify to whom the subpoe- nas were directed, saying only that the panel had authorized the issue of "quite a few." Committee sources said that most of the subpoenas were di- rected to the FBI, the CIA and other law enforcement agencies that had any connection with investigations of the slayings, See COMMITTEE, Page 8 ew advocate plan nears activation; By KEN PARSIGIAN A reorganization of the University's minority advocate pro- gram, in the works for nearly two years, is finally ready to be implemented. Under the new set up, each of four University staff mem- bers will handle specific problem areas for black, Chicano, Native American, and Asian American students. These are the four groups defined as minorities by the Department of Health, Education, and Welfare. PRESENTLY, THERE ARE only two minority advocates, Black Advocate Richard Garland and' Chicano Advocate Lino Mendiola. With the new plan, for example, Garland might special- ize in financial aid problems for all minority students.

Zolton Ferency, defeated in his recent campaign for the State Supreme Court, is expected to leave the Human Rights Party (HRP) early next week to rejoin the Democratic Party - the party he bolted in 1970 and has vigorously attacked since.R The move has intensified speculation that the HRP will officiallyv disband its state organization, with members moving into the Democratic Party to strengthen its progressive wing.+ By ENID GOLDMAN Over 8,000 students rolled up their sleeves yesterday as the program to combat swine flu commenced on campus with a flurry of pain- less innoculations and lines reminiscent of reg- istration. Health-conscious students waited as long as fifteen minutes to receive the free vaccine ad- ministered at three locations by the Washte- naw County Health Department. "IT'S GOING LIKE HOTCAKES," said Rich- ard Yarmain, assistant director of the Health Department. "We've just got a heckuva turn- out." Lines were longest at the Union, where medi- cal technicians serviced over 500 persons an hour. The pace was less hectic at the North Campus Commons and Central Campus Recrea- hissingo noise from the jet injector, students were free to leave, recuperate or observe their com- panions.
