Bonner as Treasurer iiTJMi$l if appointed to -- the post after ap-plications from two persons had been read. The applicants were Mr. Bonner and Wayne L. Carl- - son, an unsuccessful candidate for the County Commission in the November election. Commissioner Lamont B. Gun-derse- n voted for the appoint-ment with Commissioner Can-non. Mr. Bonner will be sworn in Jan. 3 when the County Com-mission reorganizes. Commissioner Gundersen said another application for the post from Ray P. Greenwood had been withdrawn.

Bonner, chief dep-uty Salt Lake County treasurer, this week was appointed county treasurer by the Salt Lake Coun-ty Commission. The action was taken by the two Republican members of the commission. Democrat William G. (Bill) Larson was absent be-cause of illness. Commissioner Edwin Q. Can-non moved that Mr. Bonner be perative that the new treasurer had time to qualify and meet the bonding requirements." In his application Mr. Bonner stated that he felt well qualified for the position, having served for nine and one half years as chief deputy county treasurer and with many years as an ex-perienced accountant. Mr. Bonner announced that Carl Adler, chief accountant in the treasurer's office since 1954, would be his chief deputy. Senator Moss Says U.S. Must 'Align Nation on Freedom Side' "new start" in the Congo. "We should first strengthen the hand of the UN in the Congo by allowing them to take over administration as well as secur-ity matters. Then a plebescite should be held to establish legi-timate civil government, and the UN should work with the newly elected leadership." "Last year while deep in Si-beria, I found that Tangiers was the only English language radio we could get on our short wave set, so I felt a real thrill in see-ing it," he declared. ' r I ' 1 til J t s SEN. FRANK B. MOSS America should understand that Algeria aspires to be free " just as did the United States in 1776, Senator Frank Moss of Utah declared last week on his return from a five weeks' tour of Africa. "Of course there are some dif-ferences in circumstances but the major aspirations are the same. So far, we have failed to convey the idea that we basically favor self determination and this atti-tude is hurting us in Africa. It is time to allign ourselves on the side of freedom." Senator Moss was one of a three man Senate group making an official inspection trip to 15 African nations at the request of Chairman Carl Hayden on the Senate Appropriations commit-tee. Others included Senators Frank Church of Idaho, Gale McGee of Wyo ming. They were joined in Rhodesia by Ted Ken-nedy, who made the trip at his brother's request to obtain first hand information on conditions in an area which the new admin-istration is expected to empha-size in its conduct of foreign policy. The senatorial party followed a carefully worked out program of interviews with U. S. person-nel including diplomatic and foreign air officials, heads of state, department ministers and ooposition political leaders. They also visited many local projects. Sen. Moss commended the De-partment of State, which had arranged the trip, for the "well i rounded picture" the Senators i were able to get. In his comments on Algeria, the Senator said he realized it was not possible to turn Algeria over to local rule without some guarantees for the more than a million Europeans who live there ( and have homes and businesses j of substantial worth. Freedom for Algeria should be worked 1, out now on a time table which ' recognizes these problems and deals with them realistically. 5 Sen. Moss also recommends a News Preview !

Joseph Donohue, chair-man of the inaugural parade committee. His cochariman, Mrs. James Rowe, added that quality, not quantity will be the keynote of the parade. The committee began its proj-ect by a self education program. Members viewed films of pre-vious parades dating back to the Roosevelt era, watching particu-larly for errors. "We saw such horrors as the cowboy who lassoed the Presi-dent, the governors who stopped their cars in front of the review-ing stand to make presentations ol local products, the marching units which held up the parade while they went through com-plicated maneuvers, the children units and senior citizens units that could not keep pace and caused great gaps in the parade. We made up our minds we would learn from the mistakes of the past." One of the first decisions made was to integrate the military units with the rest of the pa-- ! rade. This was not a new idea ; but it required special coopera-tion of the services which has been willingly given. The sequence of the parade as it now stands is as follows: ! The Presidential escort sec-tion, including the Grand Mar-shal, Lt. Gen. James M.

Dress for the occasion will be informal. Outlook For the New Year If there is one word which describes the condition under which we and all civilized peoples live today, it is the word "Distraction." This is a common enough word, but it has wide and sig-nificant meanings. For one thing, the dictionary tells us, it means a drawing off or diversion of the mind. It means confusion and perplexity. Then, at the far end of the spectrum, it means aberration, frenzy, even madness. We have plenty of distractions as the New Year begins. The cold war goes on and on, ever broadening, with no end in sight. The world's eyes were recently riveted on an unprece-dented meeting of chiefs of state at the United Nations in New (Continued on Page Four) i m"mm ii 'fi , - j |
