Fothering-ham- , 26, of Beaver, previously reported missing over Hungary since December 26, has reported back for duty at his base in Italy. A son of Mr. and Mrs. Arch Fotheringham of this city, was copilot on a 4 when he and the other members of his crew failed to return from their eleventh mission over enemy territory. Lt. Fothringham joined the service in February, 1943. He was a former student of Utah State Agricultural college and had served three years in the Utah national guard. He was assigned overseas in August, 1944. It is needless to say that Mr. and Mrs. Fotheringham, who had previously lost one fine son in the air services, are overjoyed at receiving this wonderful news. It is as if their son had come back to them from the grave. The good news traveled fast and the parents were deluged by congratulatory telephone calls and personal callers as soon as they learned the news of their son's safe return. m Foth-eringha- Mrs. A. A.

When SALT LAKE CITY. they quit lawmaking at the end of the fourth week of the twenty-sixt- h session of the state legislature the members counted their tangible achievemetns, in the matter of laws passed and killed at only about ten percent. Ten per cent, that is, of more than 300 bills and resolutions introduced. But that is a somewhat misleading figure because in reality it takes in the neighborhood of 100 hours in preparation, committee consideration, lobbying, persua-tio- n g and plain ordinary to one hour of debate on the floor to get a bill passed. And the 100 hours have already been devoted to many pieces of legisltion that will have an important and controlling influence on the way people of Utah will live and carry on their various affairs for the next four years. For instance, the joint committee of labor and industry devoted a great deal of time, profitably, in ironing Out a compromise on the bill respecting extension of benefits under the Workmen's Compensation and the Occupational Disease acts. They recommended a boost in minimum compensation from $16 a week to $22.50 a W. C. Jensen, week. and his committee have approved those recommendations. They will probably be accepted intact this week. Other negotiations and compromises are asked for the major controversial measures yet to be presented. Such as elections and voting, postwar planning for employment and public construction, budgeting of the state's income (and there really is a stickler!); taxation (another brutal word in these days); highways, social security affairs and that always diverting and continuing question of deer for the hunters and browse for the sheep and cattle (or which). There seems to be anywhere from two to twenty schools erf thought on any or all of these proposals. Then you've got the liquor commission's commissions or failures of commission (depending on the point of view), the department of agriculture desires to extend their domain to everything from the number of cows to bulls on public land, to assumption of control over all soil conservation enterprises. And the gamut of subjects before the legislature runs on to an unbelieve-abl- e number. Rep. Selvoy J. Boyer took a lot of wind out of the organized labor sails in the house early in the week's proceedings when he squelched Representative 'Frank Bonacci and his effort to permit public employees and agencies to bargain collectively by saying "are we to lose the spoils system and freeze every public job in Utah?" The house agreed with the Democratic floor leader. No collective bargaining for the state or other public employees. A lot of other civil service proposals are quite apt to meet a similar conclusive fate. But the county firemen did win a victory their plea for recognition waB granted. Senator Mitchell Melich chalked up a couple of credit marks by his successful sponsorship of the emergency measure permitting the continued d employment of women in The mining operations. aggressive and articulate Republican floor leader In the house, Rep. Clifton G. M. Kerr of Tremonton, abetted forceful speaker W. R. White in cutting off debate that has resulted in the tabling of nine to committee and of a like number of bills. The Senate, the smaller and thus far more deliberate body was having difficulties in the matter of Governor Herbert B. Maw's recommendations for commission appointments, so far as the record shows, all is harmony.

With so many bills before them on the same or related subjects, both senate and house have resorted to the appointment of com- mittees to consolidate and harmonize related measures. The house has thrown all proposed salary Increases for state, county and municipal employees into one committee. The senate has tossed all postwar planning proposals Into another.
