Show Dettret Newt ''Rioters" (guardsmen) toss bricks at MPs, armed with bayonets, tear gas. Trooper applies billyclub to member of mob . CAMP W. G. WILLIAMS -What kind of man is a military policeman? Hes got to be tough enough to contain a riot, just like his civilian counterpart, as was shown in a riot control demonstration here Tuesday afternoon. But hes got to be more than that too, according to Lt. Gen. Stanley R. Larsen, commanding general, 6th Army, who sat in on the simulated riot, a training exercise for military policemen of the Utah National Guard. The educated, inspired who has young American, potential and accepts challen ges is the soldier were looking for, Larsen raid. He noted that the description not only applies to men of the 625th Military Police Co., but also to the general membership of the guard and the Army. Although the demonstration by men of the 625th MP Co. was a mock riot, it could easily have looked real to the casual observer. Flying brides flung by an angry mob (composed of members of the guards 117th Engineer Mobile Assault Bridge Co.) were met by water hoses, tear gas and bayonets from the MPs, assisted by Utah Highway Patrol troopers. The riot was planned to simulate a real situation. It began, typically, with an inci-- dent that grew out of an MP checking on a minor disturbance. As the disturbance grew to a mob scene, the MPs were placed in riot formation to clear the area. n Members of the guard s Council watched the demonstration along with Larsen. Meanwhile four companies of men (925 troops) of the guards 115th Engineer Group and the 1457th Engineer Battalion were Involved today with a different kind of project nearly 100 miles southeast of Camp Williams.

Who would we contact? W. M., Lehi. Several factors here. If debt was contracted before he went in the service, and his induction reduced his ability to pay by lowering his income, the Soldiers and Sailors Relief Act of 1940 protects him from full liability. Whether he pays part of the bill or it is put off until his discharge is a legal question. Your lawyer is the best person to contact on this. If the man was in the service at the time the debt was incurred, you can write to his commanding officer and request the investigation be made. Further information is available from the VA.

Rampton today expressed concern over the slowness of teacher contract negotiations with local school boards. In a televised press conference, which will be seen tonight at 7:30 p.m. on KUED, Channel 7, the governor said only four of the 40 districts have negotiated contracts at this time. STEP UP PACE We have not yet reached the crisis level in this regard, but I am concerned because; last year at this time more than half of the districts had negotiated contracts, Rampton said. The governor added he had conferred with Dr. T. H. Bell, state superintendent of public instruction, and they had agreed to encourage teacher associations and local school boards to step up the pace of negotiations. SELECTIONS READY Rampton said that the State Road Commission is moving ahead with improvements on highways in Emigration and Provo Canyons so that these routes can carry the load when the lower section of the Parleys Canyon highway is closed in October for construction. He termed routing of traffic during construction periods one of the most difficult problems we face in state government.

John Wesley Powell? It was an assorted lot that gathered that morning of May 24, 1869, at Green River, Wyo., and pushed off in four wooden rowboats for what was to be a voyage. The only experienced boatman was John C. Sumner, who had been Powells guide in Middle Park, Colo., in 1867. He ran a trading post and three-mont- h closed it to join the majors party. He was 29 at the time of the trip. Sumner encouraged four of the others to go along. These were O. G. Howland, 36, a printer and editor from the Rocky Mountain News in Denver; his brother, Seneca Howland, 26, who had been wounded at Gettysburg while serving with the Vermont In-- f a n t r y ; Williams Rhodes Hawkins, 28, who had served in the Union Army, had a brush with the law and was suspected by the rest of the party of being a fugitive, and William A. Dunn, about whom little information is available. Antoher member was Powells younger brother, Capt. Walter H. Powell, 27, who had suffered as a prisoner in the Civil War and was moody and But he had a good bass voice and sang one song, Old Shady, on the trip so often the others came to call him by that nickname. Andrew Hall, only 18, was "the character of the party. He had already spent five years as a bullwhacker, mule driver and Indian Scout. Frank Goodman, a young the Englishman wandering United States for adventure, joined the party, but proved rather useless and left when they reached the site of present-da- June y Ouray, Utah, on 28. The tenth man was George Y. Bradley, 33, a Civil War veteran who had reenlistcd in the Army in 1867 and was discharged May 14, 1869, to go on the Powell expedition. He was described as sentimental, lonely, a scholar, intelligent observer, good boatsman, tough as a badger and something of a geologist. He kept a complete journal of the trip and his account almost transports the reader back 100 years to hear the roar of the water dashing against the rocks, to feel the heat and mosquitoes, to fear the rapids and hate the portages, and to share the same disgruntled thoughts as privations mount. Following are excerpts from his diary, some of them briefed and others quoted. Not very good June 3 t hunting. They didnt bring in enough game to make a grease spot.
