Show THE AMERICAN FORK CITIZEN, Thursday, August 9, 1958 THE AMERICAN FORK CITIZEN Published Every Thursday at American Fork, Utah, by the ALPINE PUBLISHING CO. Entered as Second Class Matter, at the PostoffiCe at American Fork, Utah, under the act of March 3, 1879.- 3- fATIONAl jOITOIIAl Subscription Rate $2.50 Per Year Reducing the Fail-Out Hazard The news that the United States has found ways substantially substan-tially to reduce the radioactive fall-out from nuclear weapons wea-pons is of tremendous importance. It should help greatly to allay the apprehensions 'of those who have felt that even testing is a danger to mankind because of radioactive dusts and gases. Yet, as announced by Atomic Energy Commission Chairman Lewis L. Strauss, this report has a disturbing am' biguity. Apparently the reduction in fall-out depends partly on improved weapon designs and partly on the techniques with which the weapons are used. For example, the altitude at which a "bomb is exploded and the prevailing weather are important factors in fall-out control. The Strauss statement says merely that a significant re duction in fall-out has been confirmed by recent tests. It does not say how large a reduction this is or how much it depends on "operational factors", such as altitude and weather, wea-ther, as opposed to safety factors built into the weapons them selves. Presumably the optimum operational conditions would be hard to maintain in an intensive nuclear war, and that is when the fall-out hazard would be greatest . Undoubtedly the Strauss announcement will help strength en the United States' position in the forum of world opinion. In particular, it should reassure citizens of Western Europe who may have been disturbed by the recent testimony of Army Lieut Gen. James M. Gavin that an all-out nuclear . attack on the Soviet Union would subject hundreds of millions mil-lions of Western Europeans to a lethal fall-out But the Uni ted States' case would be strenthened even more by a frank statement from the AEC as to what precisely has been ac complished.

Eisenhower Signs Small Reclamation Bill SALT LAKX CITY, August 6, 1956 President Elsenhower lion day signed the Small Reclamation Reclama-tion Bill, which will make at least 72 projects in Utah eligible for Federal assistance, Senator Wallace F. Bennett announced today." . The new act will make It pos sible for reclamation projetcs totaling approximately $32 mill ion to apply for reclamation funds in Utah, and could bring under Irrigation up to 171.000 acres within the state. This program may make available to Utah more water Tor irrigation than the Upper Colo rado River Storage Project, Senator Bennett said. The Utah Senator said that a preliminary survey made in 1950 tentatively, listed 72 projects throughout the state for develop ment. In addition, he said, there are a number of others which may qualify. It is quite possible that as many as 200 small projects throughout the state will be considered for development de-velopment under this new pro gram," he said. Although there will be no large projects constructed under the new law, the effect of the many small dams and reservoirs throughout the state will have a profound effect on the state's economy," Senator Bennett ex plained. This is one of the most Important developments for Utah In the field of reclamation during the past several decades,1 he said. Do you know that according to tourists, the brightly lighted Capitol dome is one; of the most spectacular sights they have ever seen.

Reports Earnings In Second Quarter NEW YORK, N," Y., July 31 Reporting the earnings of United Unit-ed States Steel Corporation for the second quarter of 1956, Roger Rog-er M- Blough, chairman, announced an-nounced that the Directors had today declared the quarterly dividend div-idend of $1.75 per share on the preferred stock, payable August 20, 1956, to stockholders of record at close of business on August 7, 1956, and a dividend of $.65 per share on the common stock, payable pay-able September 10, 1956, to stockholders stock-holders of record at close of business on August 10, 1956. The complete cessation of certain cert-ain operations because of the steel strike which began July 1, 1956, prevented the normal accumulation ac-cumulation of data required for accounting purposes. The financial fin-ancial and statistical data contained con-tained in the succeeding paragraphs para-graphs are based in part, therefore there-fore on approximations. On July 27, 1956, an agreement was announced with the United Steel-workers of America as a basis for settlement of the strike. This settlement, the details of which have previously been released, re-leased, assures labor peace for a three-year period and provides for an increase of 7.6 per cent in employment costs in the first year of the three-year contract Income for the second quarter Is reported as 104.4 million dollars, dol-lars, or a return of 8.9 per cent on sales of 1,168.8 million dollars. The Income for the first six months of 1956 Is reported as 208.6 million dollars, or a return of 9.2 per cent on sales, which compares with income of 177.9 million dollars, or a return of 9.1 per cent on sales, reported for the first six months of 1955. Shipments of steel products in the second quarter of 1956 amounted to 6,742,937 net tons. Shipments lor the 'first six months totaled 13,585,054 net tons, which compares with 12,-83436 12,-83436 net tons shipped during the first six months of 1955. Shipments during the first six months of 1956 represent an all-time all-time record for any such period. Production of steel ingots and castings in the second quarter of 1956 averaged 89.4 per cent of capacity, compared with 98.0 per cent in the first quarter. During the second quarter, .operations were adversely affected by the cessation of Tennessee Coal & Iron Division's steel producing activities caused by a strike, which began April 27 and continued con-tinued . beyond the, end of the quarter, of engineers and firemen fire-men on railroads serving the Alabama plants and mines. George Clyde Expresses Appreciation of Support At Republican Conv. SALT LAKE CITY Appreciation Apprecia-tion for the solid "grassroots" support given him at the Re publican state nominating convention con-vention was expressed this week by George D. Clyde, primary election nominee for governor. "Utah 'deserves the kind of Republican leadership in the nation," said Mr. Clyde. "A forward-looking administration would find an abundance of opportunity op-portunity to foster development of the natural and human resources re-sources with which Utah - has been so abundantly endowed." "I'm especially grateful for the many expressions of encouragement encour-agement that continue to come to me from all over the state. We are entering a period of industrial in-dustrial expansion and agricultural agricul-tural Improvement that will determine de-termine the happiness and prosperity pros-perity of our people for many generations to come." Mr. Clyde said he would continue con-tinue to stand for a -positive program of economy, cooperation, coopera-tion, progress and preparation. Property owners, he said, are in many cases carrying too large a burden of taxation, and the expansion of the tax base to increase in-crease revenues by adding new Industries to the tax rolls can prevent Increases in tax rates. " The campaign ahead will be a lively one and will give the Utah voter good opportunity to study the candidates and the issues by September 11, primary i election time." Harmony, that was it! That was what came out of the silence a gentle rhythm, the strain of a perfect chord, the music of the spheres, perhaps. Richard E.
