Tax 10-3- exempt procedures A proposed change in Internal Revenue Service tax exempt" procedures is being examined by U.S Senator Jake Gam. Garn said the proposed change sets forth guidelines and record-keepinrequirements for determining whether private schools that are applying for a tax exempt status, or are presently exempt, have racially policies as to students. The problem, Garn said in a letter to the IRS, is that the change would seem to impose burdensome and txepnsive requirements on private schools even in the absence of any history of racial discrimination. The Senator said another possible problem lies in the fact that the procedures would apply to private schools which are owned, operated and supported by bona fide religious institutions. This begins to get into the area of government interference with religion, he said, which of course is not only unconstitutional, but unwarranted. Years Center March 17.

' Massive spending Senator Garn again urged his colleagues to join him which in defeating the massive spending programs will be coming before the Congress. In a lengthy that inflation, not recession, is the long-terproblem facing the nation, and that excessive government spending is feeding the inflationary fires and preventing full economic recovery. I know it is popular to sav these days that there are no compelling reasons to balance the budget, and that the load of our national debt is not intolerable, given the size of the economic output, Gam said But the people of this country know better, and the mail that we are all receiving should convince all of us that they do know better. date Senator Frank Moss is putting the final touches on a schedule and witness list for a public hearing to be held in Utah on April 26 on earthquake hazards and predictions. His Space Committee has the assignment and responsibility for research of space phenomena and application to peaceful pursuits on earth. Garn opposes BOR change Senator Garn took a firm stand against the proposed reorganization of the Bureau of Land Management in Utah. Garn said that, to this point, he has not taken a definite stand on the issue, because he felt that a sufficient number of public hearings had not been held and that a needed economic study had not been completed. He said he emphasized in the past that the burden of proof to show a reorganization was necessary rested with the BLM, and the people of the state should not have to show that the change was not necessary.

B. Morton to outline the procedural steps for the Department of Interior to designate a townsite on public lands. Senator Moss cited Chapter 17 of Title 43, United States Code, which gives the President authority to name public lands for a townsite as a prospective center of population. The development of a required townsite for the people who will be involved in the construction and thereafter of the Kaiparowits project is a major factor, Senator Moss said in his letter to Secretary Morton, and I am gravely concerned with the need to plan carefully in order that we will meet the economic and social needs of Utah citizens. r VERN THOMPSON called the Sun Chronicle last week and said he would bet my last dollar that the picture identified in last weeks Ye Olde Photo Gallery was not Amasa Baker, but his brother Parley Baker.

If this bond election should be defeated, I believe we will be forced to go to double sessions in some areas and we will find ourselves with decreased programs in virtually every school. 6.

They have called for the support of all registered voters because that support is needed to provide adequate educational facilities for the boys and girls of the Davis County School District. Since 1955 school enrollment has more than tripled and the school district is now confronted with many unmet needs such as: libraries, multipurpose rooms, kitchens, faculty rest rooms, physical education facilities, music department and building replacements as well- as departments which need remodeling and modernizing. The anticipated growth in many parts of the county must be taken into account, but most im- portant, the State Fire Marshall has notified every district in the state concerning extensive improvements which are necessary to meet the Life Safety Code. Tremendous effort has been made to provide more funds for school buildings. The legislators from Davis County have been successful in helping to provide some state funds. With a low assessed valuation and a sizeable growth, it has required continuous effort by the Board of Education and the Administration .to secure adequate building funds. This $18 million bonding program authorizes the Board of Education to continue to bonds each year as other bonds are retired. Only a part of the $1.8 million will be used the first year, and the balance in amounts depending upon the growth and time involved to develop adequate projects. It is anticipated that this bonding authority will Jast three or four years. The voters approval is necessary to meet this building program. In addition to the $18 million, an estimated $2 million will be received from state aid for a total of $20 million. The cost of this bond program can be financed by the present levy (19 mills) which is in effect to raise funds for capital outlay purposes. It is from the capital outlay levy which the school district receives funds to finance building - turn-aroun- d Earthquake witnesses Weber County Library Roy, Utah calls in the homes of those needing assistance.
