"And with the economy beginning to weaken, a tax hike and budget cuts will be counterproductive." "Two days of stability is very en-. couraging, but no one should think we are out of the woods yet," said Trude Latimer, analyst at Latimer said she saw blocks of 100,000 shares or more being bought Wednesday as prices rose. "The bites are a little bigger but we're in a very, very fragile area," Latimer said. "It may be that we could fall apart with just the slightest whiff of bad news." stability have raised Wall Street's hopes for further calm and fostered some hope that the market's five-year advance has not been irretrievably broken.

Most stock prices declined Wednesday, but some blue chip stocks made gains in a session that analysts called "relatively stable" after a. week of turmoil. The Dow has recouped 108.41 points since its unprecedented 508-point collapse of Oct. 19 on "Black Monday." But it is deeply depressed in contrast to its record high of 2722.42, reached Aug. 25.

"In view of the severe weakness in the dollar, one could go so far as to call this market relatively stable," said Gail Dudack, head of technical analysis at S.G. Warburg Securities. The dollar suffered a steady erosion despite widespread central bank intervention to slow its decline before plummeting in chaotic trading on comments by the president of the European Community Commission, who said in Strasbourg, France, that the United States was prepared to let the dollar fall to as low as 1.60 West German marks. The Treasury said his comments did not reflect U.S. policy.

"We're getting every variety of news conference on Oct. 22. "The market is responding to itself, to foreign markets, to the amount of liquidity the Federal Reserve is providing to the banking system, and to the willingness of gutsy players to buy stocks," Metz said. "But it takes a lot of cash and a strong stomach to take a stand here." Analysts said the market is now paying less attention to White House and congressional efforts to come up with a $23 billion budget deficit reduction package. "No matter what (Reagan and Congress) do, it won't help much," Gardner escape try Gardner and fellow inmate Robert Preece surrendered "just prior to (our) intervening in a more forceful way," DeLand said.

The prison was in lock down following the incident. The women were held in a room behind a barricaded door while prison officials negotiatied with Gardner and Preece. Prison officials refused to release the names of the women, other than to say that one was vistiting Gardner and the other was visiting Preece. Gardner was sentenced to die for the April 1985 shooting death of a Salt Lake City lawyer and the wounding of a court bailiff during a bloody, aborted escape attempt from the Metropolitan Hall of Justice. Prison guards reported Gardner kicked out the glass in the visiting room door after asking a woman and some children to leave the area because they were making too much xt ,1 It-.

submits papers irrsupport of merger terror and excuse for selling," said Michael Metz, portfolio strategist at Oppenheimer Co. "This is the combination of circumstances we usually get right before the financial markets turn higher." Metz said a market rally "from unreasonably low levels" could send the Dow up to 2200. The government's report Wednesday that the fiscal 1987 federal budget deficit was $148 billion, down by one-third from the previous year, is unlikely to affect the market, analysts said. The deficit figures were released by President Reagan at his quelled noise, Cook said. Another guard claimed he saw Gardner "violently kick the glass in," the warden said.

A shackled Gardner, aided by a female accomplice who slipped him a gun, was en route to a hearing April 2, 1985, in connection with the shooting death of a bartender when he shot his way out of the courthouse. Attorney Michael Burdell was killed and bailiff Nick Kirk wounded in the shootout. Gardner, who was classified a habitual criminal, was shot in the shoulder during the incident at the Hall of Justice, which houses the courts, police and sheriff's departments. Gardner escaped in August 1984 during a routine examination at the University of Utah Hospital. While free, Gardner killed Cheers Tavern bartender Melvin Otterstrom who was shot in the face during an attempted robbery attempt.

In testimony filed with the PSC, officials restated intentions to operate the Utah utility as a separate division of PacifiCorp. Under that management stucture, officials contend, Utah Power would retain its local identity. The PSC has rejected a regional energy association's request to intervene in the merger hearings.

The Colorado River Energy Distributors Association was among some 20 cities, businesses and other organizations seeking to participate in the hearings, scheduled to begin Feb. 29.

jj Trial moved I RICHFIELD, Utah (UPI) A 6th District judge Wednesday agreed to move the fraud trial against Mayor Sue Marie Young from Sevier County to Sanpete County, citing extensive press coverage.

Sevier County Attorney Don "Brown contends the three schemed to sell property owned by the employees' profit-sharing plan to the Utah Transportation Depart ment. The property in question is worth about $100,000.

The 10th Circuit Court criminal complaint alleges the three agreed to form a company to buy the property owned by the profit-sharing plan. 1 SANTA CLARA King of the DRAPER, Utah (UPI) A 27-year-old death row inmate held two women visitors in the Utah State Prison for two hours Wednesday night, then released them without incident, officials said. Warden Gerald Cook told reporters that convicted courthouse killer Ronnie Lee Gardner claimed he held the women in an effort to convince corrections officials he would not hurt them, and so authorities would not think the women were involved in an escape attempt. The prison dispatched its special weapons team to the cellblock, while Salt Lake County Sheriff's deputies stood guard around the perimeter of the facility, 20 miles south of Salt Lake City, a sheriff's dispatcher said. "There was no hostage situation contrary to what we initially believed," said Corrections Director Gary DeLand.

LeBaron released- on bond LITTLETON, Colo. (UPI) Aaron LeBaron, charged with threatening other family members after the funeral of slain polygamist leader Daniel Ben Jordan last week, posted a $1,000 bond Wednesday and was released from the Arapahoe County Jail. A jail official said LeBaron, 19, is scheduled to appear in court Nov. 30 on a charge of menacing. Jordan was arrested Oct.

21, hours after Jordan's funeral. Jordan, 53, of Bennett, was shot in the head and chest Oct. 16 while on a hunting trip with family members near Man-ti, Utah. Utah authorities speculated the killing resulted from a feud among rival polygamist groups. Arapahoe County Sheriff's Capt.

Earlier this week, Arapahoe County social workers took custody of eight young children who came to Colorado to attend Jordan's funeral. Martin said the children were fathered by Ervil LeBaron, Jordan's father-in-law. "We don't know where they came from or how they got here," Martin said. "But we had an obligation to take care of them.

You can't leave 15- and 16-year-olds on the street." Ervil LeBaron is Aaron LeBaron's father. The elder LeBaron died in prison while serving a sentence for killing another polygamist. Sanpete County, Utah, Sheriff Chuck Ramsey said no charges have been filed in the Jordan slaying. in- SALT LAKE CITY (UPI) Utah Power Light Co. has turned over more documents to the state Public Service Commission in support of its case to merge with PacifiCorp, a spokesman said Wednesday.

It was the first of three filings intended to answer a host of questions submitted to by state utility regulators, spokesman John Ward said. and PacifCorp, parent company of Pacific Power Light, announced Aug. 12 the two would merge, forming a deal worth between $1.89 billion and $2.23 billion.

(Spectrum Nancy Rhodes) State dept. reports critical of Kremlin 1st Security appoints new member of board pumpkin pile Garrett Frei settles this week, the reports issued Wednesday indicate the Reagan administration is prepared to press ahead on matters that could draw similar Soviet diatribes, The report on diplomatic expulsions said that since 1970, 672 Soviets have been kicked out of their posts around the world for engaging in espionage or other activities incompatible with their status. The other report said about one-third of the 140 Soviet Chamber of Commerce and Industry officials are known to be KGB agents. The chamber acts as a trade contact for Western firms, supposedly not as part of the government, but the report said it turns out to be subordinate to the Ministry of Foreign Trade.

International gatherings such as trade fairs are used systematically by the chamber for gleaning sensitive information, the report said, and it falsifies documents to get certain exports approved for shipment to the Soviet Union. In another U.S.-Soviet development Wednesday, the State Department announced that Elliott Abrams, its assistant secretary for inter-American affairs, was in London discussing Central American matters with Soviet counterparts a mystery While AIDS is still relatively rare in Utah, Gemmill said, health care and social workers should educate themselves, the families of AIDS victims and the public about the disease before it becomes rampant. Of the 79 confirmed Utah "AIDS cases since 1981, 60 have died, according to the state Health Department. 1 Gemmill said the Army screens all recruits and bars enlistment of anyone with the disease. He also said the Army routinely requires its Derson.

One document, prepared nine months ago, appeared without announcement or explanation in the State Department press office Wednesday. It said the Soviet agency that contacts Western business executives has been used for espionage.

Another report, first issued in January, was handed out again. It amounted to a statistical and historical study of the number of Soviet diplomats expelled from nations around the world for improper activity, again usually espionage. In Moscow last week, at the meeting in which he refused to set an expected summit date with President Reagan, Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev had berated Secretary of State George Shultz for a report issued in August charging the Kremlin with falsely accusing the U.S. government of developing and spreading the AIDS virus throughout the Third World.

When victims are first identified as having AIDS related complex, or ARC, he claimed, their psychological condition remains fairly good for a time. But, as the disease progresses, Gemmill said, the patients can develop "dementia" and suffer from mental and personality disorders. Additionally, he said, those treating AIDS victims also must consider the patients' families and other aspects of their patients' lives, adding "their wives leave them, doctors won't treat them, and they become social pariahs."
