Donations sent to Utah to feed wild animals
By United Press International
More than $100,000 in donations poured into the Utah Wildlife Division from across the county yesterday in a mounting campaign to save thousands of deer and other animals starving in Western grazing areas covered with snow.
"It's just astounding," said Walt Fitzgerald, a wildlife biologist, of the chickadee. "It's pretty special."
More than 100,000 deer, antelope, elk and moose have been threatened in Colorado, Wyoming, Idaho and Montana. "Now we know has covered their grazing lands.
"We're just totally amazed at the contributions that have come in from Utah and astounded at the amount of contributions out of state."
THE OUTPUTURING OF Assistance for the animals has come from as far away as New York, Massachusetts, Missouri, Georgia and North Carolina. This has been given by neighboring states such as Oregon and California.
"We just get trays of mail with that size of check," he said.
Fitzgerald said the average check was $30.
The feeding bill could reach $1 million, however, depending on what kind of weather is experienced in the next month or two.
The Ogden Standard Examiner newspaper sent in $15,000 that it had received from concerned readers. A $5 check from Deanna Lynn Herrick, 10, of East Nassau, N.Y., was accompanied by a letter from her parents.
"Here is a small contribution from a very big heart of a little girl," the Long
A RECORD WINTER snowfall has forced the deer and elk out of the northern Utah mountains. Antelope have fled southern Wyoming, and there have been similar problems in southern Idaho and Colorado.
"The animals will be drawn to the food and will tend to hang around the road," said conservation educator Rick Gilchrist. "That increases the likelihood of automobile accidents and the death or injury of the animals."
In Boise, Idaho, conservation officials warned that people who were leaving salad ingredients along state Highway 21 were causing problems rather than helping the threatened animals.
People had been leaving lettuce, celery, loaves of bread and non-nutritious grass hay along the road. Gilchrist said that prospective feed agencies about where the livestock feed should be taken.
"I feel good about being able to share a little," said Mrs. Jeannie Comer.
A recently-widowed woman in Napa, Calif., sent $ from her first Social Security card.
TWO DAYS AGO, the amount of money received in Salt Lake City was $60,000. On Wednesday, contributions were well over $100,000; the amount was well over $100,000.
Actress Brooke Shields donated $5,000 on Wednesday. Colorado bar owner Tom Mathers will hold a dance tomorrow to raise money.
Anti-nuke leader may resign
By United Press International
BONN, West Germany - A key leader of the anti-nuclear Greens party threatened to resign yesterday, charging that a Communist group had infiltrated the party and was taking over key positions.
Former army general Gerd Bastian, a member of the parliament and one of the party's most respected members, died on Friday. He is to be the Greens parliamentary faction.
In the letter, published by the Tageszeitung newspaper, Bastian also accused his fellow deputies of inefficiency and attacked them for one-sidedly blaming the United States as the main cause of all wars.
"I urgently ask you to discuss and remedy these grievances as soon as possible. If you are not ready or not capable of doing so, I shall seriously consider becoming a party-less member of parliament," Bastian said.
As a result of the letter, the Greens Thursday called off an important press conference that was to have explained the party's future position on disarmament following initial deployment of whatching 2 missiles in West Germany.

Abscam convict is sentenced
By United Press International
WASHINGTON — A judge yesterday sentenced former Rep. Richard Kelly to six 18 months in prison and three years probation for his Abscam conviction, the lightest term given any of congressmen snared in the probe.
The 59-year-old Kelly could have been sentenced to up to 25 years in prison.
Kelly, who was videotaped stuffing a $25,000 bribe into his pocket during the Abscam investigation, was the last congressman to be sentenced.
The Florida Republican stood slightly stooped, with his arms clenched in front of him, as U.S. District Judge William Bryant delivered the sentence. Earlier the judge had reluctantly denied Kelly's request for a new trail or acquittal, saying, "I can't do anything."
Four of the members of Congress convicted in Abscass are now serving
An appeals court in Washington, however, reinstated Kelly's bribery conviction, and it was upheld by the Supreme Court last October.
IN AN UNUSUAL MOVE, Kelly made his own legal arguments yesterday in a two-hour hearing before Bryant. In May 1982 Bryant overturned Kelly's earlier jury conviction on grounds that the government's behavior in Abcamc was "outrageous" and FBI agents involved underer FBI agents posed a misidention for fictitious Arab sheks seeking political favors.
Although apparently sympathetic to Kelly's claims that the government induced him to accept a bribe after he initially rejected the offer, Bryant said the "very reluctantly" must deny the request for an acquittal or a new trial.
"I HAVE SINCERE doubt about whether I'm right in the matter, but I'm going to deny the motion," the judge said.
"I think what the government did in this case has brought about the downfall of a man" who may never be used a crime in his life Bryant said.
The gray-haired Kelly argued he was the victim of "classic entrapment" by the government. He said government agents illegally pressured him into accepting a bribe, after he had rejected their initial offer.
"I think you might very well live to be 105 and not violate any law," he told Kelly, who lost his bid for eelection to Gov. Scott shortly after his induction in July 1980.
But Roger Adelman, representing the government, argued there was no evidence that Kelly had rejected any bribe.
Spy suspect could face execution Judge rules death penalty constitutional
By United Press International
SAN FRANCISCO — A federal judge hearing the case of man accused of delivering military defense secrets to a former al-Qaeda leader, that he could receive the death penalty.
If convicted, James D Harper, Jr., indicted for violations of federal espionage laws for selling defense secrets stolen from the technologically rich Silicon Valley, may be executed U.S. District Judge Samuel Coni said.
"Given the potential consequences of a serious breach of our national security through espionage, which may threaten the lives of all citizens of the United States, this court finds that capital punishment for espionage is not uniformly disproportionate to the severity of the offense." Conti said.
"Accordingly, the punishment of death for espionage is not unconstitutional."
Both Harper's attorney and government prosecutors had told the judge the death penalty was unconstitutional under a 1972 Supreme Court ruling.
CONTINUE REJECTED THEIR opinions and conducted his own study into the
nature of the disease.
*Punishment of death for espionage conforms to contemporary societal norms.
Under rules governing capital criminal trials, Harper is entitled to two attorneys and a list of government witnesses' names and addresses.
"We've asked the judge to afford him all the benefits of a capital crime defense, and he appears to have done that, among other things," said Assist ant U.S. Attorney John Gibbons, who is prosecuting Harper.
Harper, 49, of Mountain View, Calif., is accused of stealing highly sensitive missile secrets from his now deceased wife's Silicon Valley employer and selling them to Polish agents for about $250,000.
The Poles, in turn, delivered the information to Russian KGB agents who won commendations from Soviet leader Yuri Andropov for securing the invaluable material, an FBI affidavit said.
