The stay of execution ordered by Gov. Calvin Rampton, just days before Gilmore was to face the firing squad, was continued until the Utah Board of Pardons meets. The board rescheduled the hearing for Dec. 8 so the execution can't be rescheduled before then even though Gilmore says he wants to die.

Retail sales have been virtually flat for four months now, and industrial production has slipped for two months in a row.
WASHINGTON (AP)—China set off the largest nuclear explosion in its history yesterday, prompting U.S. officials to immediately activate a nationwide network of stations to monitor radioactive fallout from the blast.
The Commerce Department said government wages and salaries were up $3 billion at an annual rate in October after a $1 billion rise in September.
Chinese nuclear explosion makes fallout
The explosion occurred at midnight (CDT) Tuesday at the Lop Nor nuclear test site in western China, a spokesman for the development Administration (ERDA) said.
A Chinese nuclear explosion in September resulted in a sprinkling of low-level radiation in the United States. The greatest fallout in the United States was in the East.

The radioactivity never reached levels considered hazardous to humans, officials said.

the property.
THE GOVERNMENT identified the gunmen as members of an Iraq-based splinter wing of Yasir Arafat's Al Fatah guerrilla group.
The government said the surviving terrorist confessed that the instructions were to take hostages in the hotel, then demand release of imprisoned Palestinian leader Hassan al-Qurashi and a remuneration of Arab summit agreements for ending the Lebanese civil war.
Witnesses said the four terrorists entered the hotel, across the street from the American Embassy, then took submachine guns out of suitcases they were carrying and started spraying bullets around the busy lobby.
Government spokesmen said earlier that the terrorists were members of "Black June," a group named for the invasion of Lebanon last June by Syrian troops.
GUESTS SCREAMED with Fright. Some threw themselves on the floor. Others smashed windows with chairs and leaped into a garden one floor below.
One of the terrorists asked a guest to telephone the Jordanian government. Before he could get through, scores of his contacts commandos had surrounded the hotel.
The commands used bulhorns to demand that the guerrillas surrender. The commander was killed in action.
COMMANDOS ON the ground rushed the jobby and pushed up to the second and third floors. The guerrillas retreated to the fourth floor, reportedly with some hostages.
Within minutes, four army helicopters dropped commandes on the roof of the seven-story building. One gunman rushed to the building and opened fire on the officer. The Palestinian was shot dead.
The hotel's 250 rooms were full of foreign businessmen and tourists, but most managed to flee to safety. Many locked themselves in their rooms.
Sporadic firing and explosions were heard until the sunmen were crushed.
King Hussein personally ordered the final attack on the guerrillas, the spokesman said.
FBI says Klan members questioned in King murder
WASHINGTON (AP)—The FBI investigated members of the Kucl Klux and the Minutemen in the early days of the 1960s, when they newly disflocked FBI documents reveal.
Four days after King was slain in Memphis April 4, 1968, FBI headquarters were occupied by members of the Klan, the right-wing Minutemen, "other hate group members, raidous-robes and any other individuals known to have harmed proclivities located within the borderline."
The order was sent to FBI field offices in Memphis and Knoxville, Tenn.; Birmingham and Mobile, Ala.; Jackson, Miss; Milwaukee and Minneapolis.
The memo is part of about 18,000 Brian during its investigation of King's death.
The FBI is releasing 424 pages to comply with requests under the Freedom of Information Act. Officials are screening the files to determine what else will be released.
The documents provide the first public details of the FBI probe. James Earl Ray was arrested and pleaded guilty to shooting King. As a result, the government never was required to present its evidence at a trial or any other public forum.
Ray has since attempted to change his plea and obtain a trial.
