"I'm a veteran myself and I don't want to be buried in it." The association based its $36 million estimate on the cost of burying every veteran, his spouse and children in Utah a total of 458,000 people. It also assumed in each case the state and federal government, who would split the expense, would have to pay the full cost of burial. "Not every veteran in the state is an indigent who must be buried at taxpay-, ers expense," Black said. But some veterans, he said, do need some help.

"Right now, there's a little area for them in the Taylorsville Cemetery, but it looks like paupers graves out there. The graves are covered with weeds. They put up little wooden markers on a fence for the graves, and a lot of them have been torn down. It's just a disgrace," he said. Even in cases where the the family of a veteran can afford to pay for the burial, they likely can't get a space in Utah's two existing military burial grounds said Black.

"Fort Douglas is just about filled up. The Salt Lake City Cemetery gets about 200 applications per year and can take only about 50. You have to be a high-ranking officer or you don't get in," he said. Black's bill would require the state to donate 23 acres of land immediately north of Camp Williams, valued at $407,000, and spend $404,000 to convert it.The federal government would contribute $410,000 in startup costs. But the minority leader said he didn't know whether, in view of the heavy and well organized lobby effort by the private cemetery owners, he would be able to get it passed.

SALT LAKE CITY (UPI) State Sen. Rex Black, D-Salt Lake, thought a proposal to create a Utah war veterans cemetery would be non-controversial. But Black didn't take into account opposition from private cemetery owners. Lobbyists for the Utah Association of Cemetery Operators trooped through the State Senate chamber Monday with a series of horror stories about the eventual costs of creating a U.S. military cemetery.

The opponents claimed it could cost Utah $36 million by the year 2000 to build and maintain a 23-acre veterans cemetery adjacent to Camp Williams in southwestern Salt Lake County. Black, the Senate minority leader, fumed at what he called "gross exaggerations" on the part of the private cemetery lobby. But the rest of the senators didn't go along with Black and indefinitely delayed action on his proposal. "It's all a lot of self-serving talk on the part of the cemetery owners. They're just afraid of the money they'd lose," Black said following the vote to postpone action.

Black and veterans' organizations supporting his bill countered with their own figures indicating the graveyard would cost Utah, at most, $7 million by the year 2000 to build and operate. Conflicting cost estimates were primarily responsible for the Senate's decision to delay a vote on the measure. "I'd like to have our legislative analysts come up with a single, reliable estimate," said State Sen. Warren Pugh, R-Salt Lake. Black, however, said the cost could never approach the estimate of the cemetery lobby.

"Not every veteran, and every veteran's wife, and every veteran's depend Uranium layoffs planned BLANDING, Utah (UPI) More than 100 people will be laid off over the coming several weeks as one of the nation's most sophisicated uranium mills closes in Blanding because of the depressed uraru- Thetosiire of Energy Fuels Nuclear the largest single employer in the southeastern Utah town will be devastating to the community and will double its 10 percent unemployment rate, said Calvin Black, chairman of the San Juan County Commission. Pam Hill, public relations director for the uranium firm, said 10 employees will be laid off in two weeks when the uranium mill is put on standby status," and another 25 will continue to clean and shut down the facility for several months. After that they, too, will be laid off Only a handful of people will continue to mam-tain the abandoned mill, she said. Ms Hill said the closure reflects the "dire straits" of the uranium industry, in which the market price per pound of processed uranium falls nearly $10 behind the cost of producing it.

Mac Haddow to a high ranking job in the regionaPoffice of the Department of Housing and Urban Development. Haddow, a Sandy, Utah, Republican, will becoming executive assistant to the regional HUD administrator in Denver. "I'll bee helping the regional administrator with all HUD activities, including subsidy programs for housing," said Haddow. Haddow has had a colorful political career in Utah, starting as an administrative aid to Sen. Orrin Hatch, R-Utah.

He has also been one of the chief fund raisers for conservative causes in the state and operated a political consulting firm specializing in direct mail-fund raising. Suspect pleads innocent SAT LAKE CITY (UPI) Ronald Morello pleaded innocent Monday to charges he violated the federal Hobbs Act in the Jan. 6 abduction of a banker's son in which $125,000 was demanded for the youth's safe return. The 26-year-old defendant, a relocated federal witness, pleaded innocent before U.S. Magistrate Daniel Alsup, and a bond reduction hearing has been scheduled for Friday.

The defendant is being held in tjie Salt Lake County Jail in lieu of $100,000 bail. Morello was indicted by a federal grand jury in Salt Lake City on charges of kidnapping 15-year-old Steven McKell and demanding $125,000 ransom from his father, Clair, who is an officer at First Security Bank. The abduction was foiled, however, when the abducted youth escaped from the Holladay-area chicken coop in which he was being held while his captor was away.

But, Estes asked Winder to place him on probation. Winder, however, delayed the sentencing "for up to 30 days" while Estes undergoes a psychiatric evaluation. of a disagreement she had with Swager, Ms.

Clark said she agreed to quit her job and go on the road with Vigliotto about four months after she met him. They married June, 13, 1981, in Jellico, Tenn. Ms. Clark testified they hauled some of their goods in a rental truck, which she thought he later returned to a rental store in Hickory, Tenn. She later found out he had not.

Deputy Maricopa County Attorney Dave Stoller asked her how she knew. "Because I was arrested for stealing the truck when I returned to Indiana," she said. Vigliotto allegedly told both women similar stories: That he was Sicilian; that his mother and sister were raped and killed by Nazis, and that his family had Mafia connections and controlled gambling in Lake Tahoe, Nev. There were other similarities as well, they said. Both women had been married and divorced three times before marrying Vigliotto; both also came in contact with a tall, thin woman with a wrinkled face Vigliotto said was an employee of his.

Ms. Gardiner testified last week, after their marriage Vigliotto told her he was a Mafia don who had killed at least nine people; had $49 million, and owned the Queen Mary tourist attraction. Shortly after Vigliotto allegedly abandoned Ms. Gardiner in December 1981, he was spotted in Panama City, Fla. by Ms.

Clark and turned in to PHOENIX, Ariz. (UPI) A witness in the bigamy and fraud trial of a man suspected of marrying 100 women says he was a great help at her country music park before he fleeced her of $55,000 in cash and antiques. Sharon Clark, 41, Ray, testified Monday at Giovanni Vigliotto's trial on behalf of Patricia Gardiner, 42, a Mesa, Ariz, real-estate dealer. Both women say Vigliotto married them in 1981, then abandoned them shortly after the marriages. Vigliotto, whose attorney says may have married more than 100 women, is charged only in connection with Ms.

Gardiner, who claims he took $36,000 of her money and possessions. Ms. Clark said she was general manager of "Indian Territory," a country music and recreation park in Indiana) when she met Vigliotto in March 1981. She said she was preparing for the summer season and was working 18 to 20 hours a day "sometimes I never went to bed at all." Vigliotto volunteered to take over part of her operation, then offered to do more and more work. "He kept saying 'Let me help you.

How can you handle all this? Give me a she said. "He took a lot of things off my shoulders anytime I wasn't around, he more or less took over and he knew what he was doing." She said the owner of the park, William Swager, came to rely on Vigliotto for guidance. But because SALT LAKE CITY (UPI) A Utah man who repeatedly punched U.S. Supreme Court Justice Byron White last summer now wants to apologize to the associate justice. A federal judge who was scheduled to sentence Newton Estes of Kaysville, Utah, on Monday has now delayed the sentencing for up to a month while Estes undergoes pyschiatric tests.

In a letter to Judge David Winder, Estes said his July 15, 1982, attack on White was "wrong." He has also asked Winder for permission to send White a written apology. After attacking White, Estes said he punched the justice as a protest to recent Supreme Court rulings in cases involving busing to integrate public schools and pornography in films and on television. The letter said Estes' decision to assault the justice was one "I do not believe I could ever make again because I realize a random act of violence against a defenseless and innocent official is a serious attack on the system of government I am trying to defend." On Dec. 10 a federal court jury found Estes guilty of assault on a federal judge.

Dr. William DeVries said Monday the persistent bleeding which began Jan. 10 is apparently "more serious than we orginally believed, simply because it has not stopped." Besides decreased levels of anticoagulants, the doctorsliavfc also kept Clark's nose packed to prevent any significant loss of blood. But, they have not changed his condition, which remained "serious but stable." Clark is now in his 48th day of life on the permanent man-made heart, since DeVries and a team of 20 doctors, nurses and medical technicians implanted the Jarvik-7 heart in his chest Dec. 2.

Utah Medical Center officials had been saying the nose bleeds were not serious and would not hamper the 61-year-old Clark's recovery. But they admitted Monday the continued bleeding has them worried enough to change his medication which is used to prevent clotting inside the artificial heart. Medical Center spokesman John Dwan said the bleeding was apparently caused by a combination of his thinned blood due to the anticoagulants and irritation from a nasal-gastric feeding tube.
