HATCH -United Press staff Corretpondent SALT LAKE CITY, Aug. 3 (UJ9 The Republican party,, in order to gain control of the congress this fall, is depending heavily upon the western Mates for'sup- port, Carroll "Keece, chairman of the GOP national committee, declared de-clared here last night. Speaking at the annual conference con-ference of Republican party wor kers of 'the 11 western., states, Reece declared that the west had more at stake than any other single part of the country. He pointed out that western land is in great part owned by an "absentee "ab-sentee landlord" in Washington. And the Democratic party, he added, has not proven its ability to administer that land properly. "That in itself, in my opinion, should provide a strong incentive for the citizens of the western states to make sure that the government, gov-ernment, in Washington, is truly representative ot the people," Reece declared. v Interspersed throughout fleece's speech were blast! at the administration, admin-istration, which - he termed a "misfit alliance of radical and Republican Pre-Runoff Rally Slated A county -wide Republican rally, at which Utah county GOP candidates for local, state and national offices will appear, is planned for 8 p. m, Thursday in the Provo high school auditorium.

They stipulated that the conference have three officers chairman, chair-man, a vice chairman and an executive secretary. One of 'the officers must be a woman and one must be a permanent resident of Salt Lake City. In an interview with the United Press before the banquet, Reece charged that-the recent, violent election fight in Athens, Tenn,. is a case in point. He said "That for years the country . has been misruled by new. Deal Democrats.' There was even one case where a man so flagrantly violated the rights of his fellow citizens that' a jury found him guilty of corruption The -judged placed on the bench by the new dealers had to do something, so he fined the man three cents," "That sort of thing, Reece added, "Has led to the violence. "The veterans know they had no recourse to justice. So they had to take the law into their own hands. This is typical of "the revolt which is spreading through the -country. Reece concluded: "With the aid of the western people, we will win in November, We will elect a Republican con gress, and will will return the government to the people." SALT LAKE CITY, Aug. 3 (U.R) Rep. Henry Dworshak, R., Ida., said today that although he ad mired President Truman's declaration declar-ation in favor of lower federal expenditures, he felt that it came a couple of months too late. "It . is significant, : Dworshak said, "That the president waited until this year's appropriation bills were passed by the congress before asking for a reduction in federal expenses.' Dworshak, addressing the sec ond day meeting of Republican leaders of the 11 western states, said that as a member of the house appropriations committee he had for a year plugged for reduced expenditures in all federal fed-eral departments. Unfortunately this reduction is so late in coming that we can have nothing but more deficit financing during fiscal 1947," Dworshak declared. "It is. admirable that Mr. Tru man has realized the need for a reduction, hut bis realization comes a few months too late." Ralph E. Becker, chairman of the Young Republican Federation, Feder-ation, outlined some of the methods which young Republicans Repub-licans can use to aid in what he termed a "sure Republican victory vic-tory this fall." Becker declared that the Republican Re-publican party, in order to grow continuously, must encourage "new blood." He asked that the party place special emphasis on getting to those young "persons who contemplate con-template joining a third party." . National Chairman B. Carroll Reece answered Becker's plea with a declaration that the Republican Re-publican party "definitely is interested in-terested in the young people and will do its utmost to encourage their active, rather than passive, participation in party affairs."

BODY RECOVERED FROM RIVER CASPER. Wyo., Aug. S (UJ! Natrona county sheriff's deputies -today recovered from the Platte river the body of Ralph Warn- bough, who drowned last Sunday.

While Provo city has permission of the courts to re-open Ninth South street, to do so under present conditions would be to create a death trap-for motorists, what with trains constantly moving back and forth on 21 sets of tracks which now cross the old roadbed. The Herald cameraman this week visited the site with Mayor Mark Anderson and City Commissioner Com-missioner Blake Palfreyman (left in picture) and found Ninth South Crossing Still Problem After Court Victory switching in full progress, with trains moving in both directions. direc-tions. In the above photograph, looking east across the tracks, the old roadbed is hardly discernible but it runs diagonally from the lower left to the upper right. The portion por-tion of Ninth South east of the yards is obscured by the giant locomotive at right. A barberry plant susceptible to stem rust of wheat is a menace on any farm. What is to be done with the Ninth South railroad crossing now that the circuit court of appeals ap-peals has reversed the earlier decision and given it back to Provo city? Provo city commissioners commis-sioners wish they knew. The city fathers find themselves them-selves in the same position as the man who suddenly owned an elephant ele-phant it's a fine thing, but who's going to feed it? Everything would be simple on reopening Ninth South, except for the matter of nearly 20 additional addi-tional tracks which have been constructed since the closing by the Denver and Rio Grande railroad, rail-road, and the fact that the area of the crossing has now become a busy switching yard, teeming with trains almost as thick as automobiles on a heavy traffic intersection. Twenty-one sets of tracks now block the crossing, including the double track D. and R. G. main line, and in a 10-minute check of the area this week, a moving freight train passed every two minutes, in addition to four or five more parked strings of cars. Although most of the tracks are part of the D. and R. G. system, the area is used by. both the Union Pacific and the Utah Coal Route lines. A viaduct is apparently the only answer under present conditions, con-ditions, but it would have to be a big one. and costly, and many sources claim the normal traffic which would use the crossing would not justify the cost. No attempt has yet been made by D. and R. G. or city officials to contact each other on the problem. Use of the crossing in its present condition by both automobile traffic and the railroad rail-road would react unfavorably for each. It would be a definite traffic hazard for the motorist, and switching operations of the railroad would be greatly hin dered. In the spring of 1943 the D. and R. G. threw up fences on both sides of the crossing and started construction of new tracks. The city, after a considerable consid-erable period" of wrangling with the railroad, tore the fences down and started to 'haul in gravel to make the crossing passable. pass-able. They were blocked legally by an injunction which the railroad rail-road secured. The U. S. district court upheld the injunction, but when Provo city appealed to the circuit court, the recent reversal resulted. The railroad may appeal ap-peal to the United States supreme court if it so desires, but has made no announcement as yet of its intention. I. E. Brockbank, then Provo city attorney, prepared and directed di-rected the case before the U. S. district court assisted by George S. Ballif, present district attorney.
