Casper, Wyo. Land CHEYENNE A bill to repeal the Land Use Planning Act was killed QUEEN ALIA Killed in crash Crash kills Jordan queen AMMAN, Jordan (UPI) Queen Alia of Jordan, 28, third wife of King Hussein, was killed in the crash of a Jordanian military helicopter Wednesday, Amman radio said. In a somber announcement, the radio broke into regular programs to say: "The royal palace mourns the death of Queen Alia, who has died as the result of an aircraft accident while on a visit ot the town of Tafila." It said Dr. Mohammed Al Bashir, minister of health, also was killed in the crash. former Alia Toukan, daughter of former U.N.

Ambassador Baha-Eddin Toukan, was graduated from Hunter College in New York City, where she studied political science and social psychology. An adventuresome beauty who enjoyed motorcycles, water skiing and American pop music, she was King Hussein's third wife. Alia was only 24 years old at the time of- her wedding some 13 years younger than her husband. Their quiet marriage in December 1972 followed the king's unsuccessful marriages to Princess Dina of Saudi Arabia and to Antoinette Gardiner, who became the Princess Muna. Alia was from the Israeli-occupied West Bank of Jordan, captured in the 1967 Middle East War.

(It was announced in Damascus that because of the tragedy West German Foreign Minister Hans Dietrich Genscher, currently on a Middle East tour, has canceled his stop in Amman.) U.N. Secretary General Kurt Waldheim, on a 10-day fact-finding tour of Middle East nations, was in Amman for meetings with Jordanian officials at the time of the accident. Government sources said Hussein told Waldheim his country would attend the Geneva Middle East peace talks if they are reconvened. King Hussein's life has been marked by sudden tragedies and violence. At age 16, he saw his grandfather, King Abdullah, gunned down by an assassin and he himself escaped only because the bullet ricocheted off a medal on his chest.

The king, now 41, is known for his love of dangerous hobbies. Alia said in a 1973 interview her husband was teaching her how to fly helicopters.

Malcolm Wallop, in announcing the openings of his Casper and Cheyenne offices Feb. 12 and 13, invited the public to drop by and meet with him and members of his Wyoming staff. "The process of communication with elected officials is a two-way Wallop said. "My staff and I will always try to make ourselves available to the public, MALCOLM WALLOP Opens offices and I hope the public will take Against expanded medical program CHEYENNE The joint appropriations committee is recommending against an expanded medical education program this year. Committee co-chairman Sen.

Robert Novotny, R-Fremont, said the committee reduced Gov. Ed Herschler's $700,000 recommendation to about $100,000 to cover salary adjustments. The $700,000 would have provided funds for additional personnel and planning for a Meh the time to express its concerns to us," Wallop stated. Wallop said that he is looking for suggestions from the public as to what sort of services are needed from the Wyoming offices. "In an effort to be more timely and to cut down on the frustrations people experience in dealing with the federal bureaucracy we are going to handle all of our casework from Wyoming," Wallop said.

He added that casework involves dealing with federal agencies, such as Veterans Affairs and the Social Security Commission, as well as assisting local governments in their dealings with the federal government. "I feel that by doing this work from Wyoming, the public will have the benefit of working directly with my personal representatives," Wallop said. "This should greatly help unsnarl the lines of Wyoming and Washington, and help determine the specific needs of Wyomingites in dealing with the federal bureaucracy, he said. He added it will also give the public an opportunity to learn how his offices will operate. According to Wallop, legislators, city officials, county officials, party officials Laramie may be buying ranch for $1.75 million LARAMIE The Laramie City Council Tuesday unanimously approved an agreement with a Denver bonding company which may lead to the purchase of the $1,750,000 Monolith Ranch southwest of Laramie.

Purchase of the ranch has been considered by the council to be the best solution to Laramie's future water needs. An additional 20 cubic feet of water per second could be obtained for the city from the water rights that would be acquired with the ranch. The plan to purchase the ranch was one of several alternatives considered by the city council in executive sessions over the past year. Other possibilities studied were upstream storage of water in the Laramie River during periods of slack use, developing additional ground water sources, and entering into an agreement with Cheyenne to medical school to cost $15 to $17 million, Novotny said. He added that the committee's position was that it budgeted for enough funds last year to finance the program for two years.

"We feel they can sustain the program budgeted for that period," he said. "I don't think we've been a bit unreasonable in our approach," added Novotny. "'We have not cut their program in any way." acquire water from the Little Snake River and Douglas Creek. The council finally decided that purchase of the ranch would be the most economical method of acquiring the additional water. According to City Manager Frank Hoadley, the plan to purchase the ranch hinges on the establishment of a nonprofit corporation, headed by members of the city council, which would purchase the land and water rights.

The corporation would sell bonds through the Boettcher firm of Denver to purchase the ranch. The city of Laramie would then pay the non-profit corporation for the water. Laramie would pay approximately $55,000 yearly for the water rights, according to Hoadley. Another $110,000 yearly would have to be raised by the corporation to make the $165,000 yearly bond payment for the ranch. Hoadley said License plate sales far behind in Casper CASPER License plate sales are far behind where they should be, according to Natrona County Treasurer Edie Howard.
