Gilmore returns to prison
SALT LAKE CITY (AP)—Condemned killer Gary Gilmore, but defiant, to stand state plea. He was cheered by fellow inmates yesterday after two weeks in prison.
His girlfriend, Nicole Barrett, regained consciousness for the first time since she and Gilmore took sleeping pillss Tuesday in an apparent suicide pact. Her condition was upgraded from critical to serious. She walked with assistance and was visited by relatives.
Gilmore had been sentenced to die before a firing squad at 8 a.m. last Monday for the murder of a motel clerk in a robbery attempt four months ago, but Gov. Calvin Rampton delayed the execution pending a review of the sentence by the state Parole Board.
Glmore has repeatedly asked the courts to allow him to face the firing squad as soon as possible because he doesn't want to spend the rest of his life in prison.
LONDON—Miss Jamaica, 22-year-old Cindy Breaksphere, was chosen Miss world 1979 yesterday in a contest marred by the withdrawal of nine participants.
Miss Australia, Karen Jo Pini, 19, was first runner-up. Third place went to Miss Guam, 17-year-old Diana Duenas.
Miss United States, 21-year-old model Kimberlee Foley of Southfield, Mich., wasn't among 15 semifinalists.
Just hours before the final judging in the crowded Royal Albert Hall, the governments of the Philippines and Yugoslavia pulled their contestants out of the competition to protest the racist image projected by the presence of two South African entrants, one black and one white.
They were the eighth and ninth contestants to withdraw and left 60 to take part in the final night's events.
American economy slides; Burns opposes tax cuts
WASHINGTON (AP) - Revised government estimates released yesterday show that the nation's troubled economy entered a new phase of worse condition than was originally thought.
But Arthur Burns, chairman of the Federal Reserve Board, said conditions didn't appear bad enough now to warrant a tax cut to stimulate the economy.
Two University of Michigan economists, however, said that even with a $13 billion budget, they could still reduce at a rate barely faster than necessary to reduce unemployment. Advisers to President-elect Jim Carter have suggested tax cuts ranging from $8 billion to $15 billion.
THE COMMERCE Department said that the nation's Gross National Product (GNP), the total output of goods and services in the country, fell for the first time during the July-September quarter.
That rate was a downward revision from the preliminary estimate last month of 4 per cent growth, generally considered sufficient to keep up with normal population growth. But the rate is believed insufficient to reduce unemployment.
The figures were revised primarily because some numbers in the preliminary report had to be estimated for the final month of the quarter. The foreign trade
surplus on goods and services, for example, was revised downward by $2.5 billion to an annual surplus of $189 million.
A COMERCE Department economist, Maynard Coniez, said the revision wasn't large statistically and didn't significantly affect the economists knew about the third quarter.
The inflation rate estimated in the GNP was revised downward from an annual rate of 3.2% to 3.1%.
But the revision meant that the economy was weaker than it originally thought.
FINAL SALES, which are considered the measure of ultimate demand in the economy, grew at an annual rate of 4.1 per cent for the third quarter, compared with 4.2 per cent in the second quarter and 4.4 per cent estimated in the third quarter.
The revisions followed two monthly drops in industrial production, a flat performance in retail sales during four months and a rise in investment rate from 7.8 per cent to 7.9 per cent.
But personal income grew at a faster pace in October, activity in the housing industry picked up and corporate profits increased. Higher profits increase the possibility that a hoped-for pickup in business spending may be in the offing.
Bennett tells legislators of budget-making woes
Staff Writer

Seattle Writer
Budgeting state institutions is a seesaw operation that usually causes frustration and pain to those who have to defend Gov. Robert Bennett said yesterday.
Bennett said that he had been working on budgets from various state institutions about 18 hours each day. Later yesterday in Topeka, he heard KU administrators defend the operating expenses budget for the University.
Bennett spends at a luncheon at the Kansas Union for Kansas legislators about the difficulty of determining a budget, a subject of interest to members of University of Kansas administrators.
Then, after a program has been then analyzed, the data is analyzed by the budget division, be said.
Bennett said that a governor had three duties: to see problems and propose duties; to people from a harmful legislature; and to implement programs passed by the legislature.
TO DEDELOP POLICIES and then a budget, ideas on new policies must be presented to the legislature, interim committees, special interest groups and the cabinet, Bennett said.
"It's a painful process," Bennett said. "The hopes and dreams of all concerned go into a funnel-like process called budget

earnings, and everyone has to decide exactly what their priorities are."
Then, the "heartstrings are really pulled," Bennett said, when he tries to fund all of the programs with the available revenue.
BEFORE THE BUDGET hearings, Bennett said, institutions submit a detailed budget, listing needs for current and new programs. After being analyzed and cut by the budget division, the budgets are sent back to Bennett.
A TIGHT BUDGET is better in some ways than a lot of available money, Bennett nets 31 percent.

Brennett classified the cuts as those totally justified or those made to force the instruction.
"When a lot of money is available, there's a tendency to spend, and there are really no priorities set. But when money is tight, only important items are bagged," he said.
LOS ANGELES (AP) - Patricia Hears: father and uncle posted $50,000 bail yesterday for her release from prison while she awaits trial on state charges.
Hearst bail posted; freedom up to judge
But she remains jailed on a federal bank robbery conviction while a judge decides whether to grant bail pending appeal in that case.
The final decision on whether she would be freed rested with the San Francisco judge who has jurisdiction in the bank robbery case. A federal court clerk in San Francisco told reporters not to expect any bail for a guilty defendant it not forced for bail on the bank robbery conviction.
In Los Angeles, meanwhile, Superior Court Judge William Ritzi said he would later reconsider lowering Miss Hearst's ball on state charges if she were released.
SHE FACES TRIAL in state court Jan. 10 on charges of kidnapping, robbery and assault in connection with a shooting at an ice cream shop, Calif., sporting goods store in May 1974.
U. S. District Court Judge William Orrick must decide whether Hearst, 22, can be granted bail in San Francisco pending appeal of her federal bank robbery conviction. She is under a seven-year sentence, and her release is up to the judge.
Ritzi refused a request from Heart's attorney, Al Johnson, to reduce her ball to $250,000 but said he would reconsider it when he agreed to a U.S. District Court Judge William Orrick.
Her ball was revoked in San Francisco shortly after her capture in September 1975 when it was thought she might be a flight risk.
"IF SHE IS released by the San Francisco court and if bail is substantial in that case, I certainly would consider reduction of bond." Ritz said.
He added, "I don't know what the San Francisco court is going to do."
He said, however, that Johnson's rush to post bail here had indicated to him that Johnson had information about Orrick's impending action.
"From what you say, I can only assume
THE JUDGE AGREED to seal the bail documents at Johnson's request. The attorney cited "the personal nature" of the items that were pledged. It was believed the family property and other holdings were offered as collateral for the bond.
that the San Francisco court is going to release her on ball, "the judge said.
Randolph Hearst, president of the San Francisco Examiner, appeared before the judge with his twin brother, David Hearst, to discuss how he was taking personal surety to cover the $500,000.
He told the judge of an elaborate security plan for Miss Hearst, which had been devised with the help of law enforcement officials and "security consultants." But he said the plan remained secret, known only Orrick and the attorneys.
Johnson said he hoped Miss Heist would be released "as soon as is practical."
Deputy Dist. Atley, Sam Mayerson, who is to prosecute the heiress on state charges of kidnaping, assault and robbery, said a reduced bail would be acceptable to his office only "if we know the plan that has been set up in San Francisco."
JOHNSON'S INSISTENCE that word of Hearst's bail be sent to the prison immediately indicated that he expected her imminent release.
GM 'ministrike' launched today
DETROIT (AP) — The United Auto Workers launched a selective "ministrike" against 16 key General Motors Corp. plants at 12:01 a.m. today after bargains failed to reach accord on a new national contract for 390,000 workers.
Only 80,000 hourly employees in seven states—mostly in the Midwest—are involved with their officials said could cripple the auto giant's 21-state production network within a week.
Alexander Walker calls the film "the most authentic piece of Gothic horror that I have ever seen," and it's especially important "in bringing home to you the awfulness of mass murder."
