Senator M oss pointed out attempts to reach disarmament agreements were made by both Elsenhower and Kennedy administrations. He recalled his vote favoring test ban treaty as something I will be proud that I supported all my life. He said tne real Issue In this campaign Is whether we will have a policy which believes In seeking peace from a position of strength through responsible negotiation. Senator Moss said he agreed with the Councils objectives, that their contributions were much respected scientists, engineers and scholars and was founded by a pioneer nuclear physicist. He said the Council was not a sinister organization as has been charged, and that It did not support any actions that could put the United States at a disadvantage due to lack of mutual agreement. Senator Moss noted their contributions were much more limited than charged, but that he was glad to have them. For military strength, we must have economic strength. This Is why I voted for the tax cut. Why was Republican Senator policy against it? M oss asked: The principal Issues In this campaign for Utah, Senator Moss said, are education, where he believes In federal aid, water, tourism, and new Industry - such as Park City which was made possible with an ARA loan he said. Money became a big Issue as candidates fielded questions from newsmen and the audience Moss was asked how he could reconcile the Increase In the federal debt since the tax cut. He replied the debt is less now on a per capita basis as a percentage of the gross national product -- - than It was after the war. Mr. Wilkinson countered by adding the debt to the accured liabilities and coming out with a figure of over one trillion dollars. He questioned the justification for a jump In the debt of 35 billion dollars from 1961 to Mr. Mackay Insisted every statement has come from documented records and quoted from 1962 newspaper clippings to accent his contention that Mr. Larsen was forced out of office by an Inter-parpower struggle.

One way to do this would be tracts. He claimed that the to Improve Salt Lake tourist government lost 45 million In the award of the TFX contract, trade, he said, along with a to politics.

He noted that Utahs advantage from defense spending had actually Increased despite the layoffs In mlssle contractor plants, due to the employment rise In other areas such as Tooele and Ogden. SALES TAX A question about a national sales tax, disapproved by both candidates, led to a discussion of taxes In general. Mr. Wilkinson said that a limit should have been put on the income tax long ago, artd recalled that at the time of Its passage In 1912 It was never Intended to exceed two percent In peacetime and five percent In war. The appetite grows by what It thrives on he concluded. FAST FINISH Mr Wilkinson commented on polls The History of polls In Utah sow that the Drmocrats always win In October and the Republicans In pre-electi- on November A lady In the audience Inquired about civil rights legislation and the efforts of the registration drive In Mississippi this summer. Senator Moss noting he voted for th civil rights bill, said some heartening advances have been made. Mr. Wilkinson stated he Is In I have favor of civil rights. devoted half my life to defending and representing minority groups. But he is not In favor of all facets of the civil rights bill, particularly the employment section because It does not allow dlfferentatlon on the basis of sex, race or religion. As an example he Indicated that If a Catholic had built up a business and wanted to hire or promote Catholics he should have that right, as should a Mormon in Utah. He suggested that discrimination be eliminated by massive education. Senator Moss said that the bill holds only that a company cannot set up discrimination with regards to race as a standard procedure. Mr. Wilkinson said he did not particularly object to the public accomodations section of the bill. WHAT ABOUT BOBBY? The Inevitable question of the Bobby Baker case came from d the floor. The discussion ceni-tere- around the Williams amendment, which would have deprived Baker from the government support of his pension for taking the fifth amendment In Congressional hearings. I Moss said, Senattor not vote to give Bobby Baker a pension. The most fundamental right we have Is the right against the crown. W e cannot say we will punish you, just because you took the fifth. I owe no brief for Bobby Baker. He ought to be Investigated, but any citizen has the right of constitutional guarantees. I voted to have him Investigated, but a quorom could not be gathered for the Investigative session, not even the Republicans showed up. Baker had a contract to get a pension when he became 60. Mr. Wilkinson replied: There was no contract. The senate can attach any restric tions it wants to Its own pension program, which Is a creature of the Senate. Senator Moss replied, We cant just accuse men then punish them, Bobby Baker hasnt been convicted of anything.

Mr. Hendrlcksen outlines the problem: The average complaint Is eigher on workmanship or price, would guess that a siding job with good guage aluminum and proper backing should cost between $1,200 and $1,500 on an average size house, yet we ran Into a deal the other day where a homeowner had agreed to pay $8,250 before Interest charges to put siding on a house that coldnt have been appraised at more than $8,000. We constantly get reports from people who pay unscrupulas operators twice as much or more than such a job should cost. His department Is powerless to help In most cases. The Department of Contractors can step In only If the contractor failed to meet terms of the contract or meet state specifications or If he happened to be unlicensed. His advice? Get at least three bids, urges Mr. Hendrickson, and 1.) compare quality or materials. 2 ) Remember youll only get what Is written in on the contract. Promises of salesmen have no value To avoid getting gyped, Mr. Lords adds his word of advice Check with a reliable financial Institution, he says, before you sign the contract. Reputable lendors, he said, will spot exorbitant charges and render appropriate advice. Watch out, in particular, he warns, for something-for-nothldetails. Some pitches, he says, claim your home Is to be used In a series of television commercials or other advertising and youll receive credit on each job sold from purposes leads. Theoretically, he continues, the hob could cost you nothing but It rarely works out that way. If this Is the deal, be sure the referral plan and remuneration is clearly outlined In the contract.

Without a bond the buyer could find himself suddenly fees liable for unpaid materials costs and Unethical roofing and siding salesmen, he said, roam the country, traveling where they believe pickings will be best They can almost never be held responsible for misrepresentation Many work on a arrangement where the contractor sets a base price and then splits everything over this base. This means the more the salesman Is able to charge the more money he makes. The skys the limit under this type commission plan Reputable contractors, lendors and the public, Mr. Lords believes, would benefit from a licensing requirement for home modernization salesman. The plan he proposes would operate similarly to requirements for security, Insurance and real estate salesmen. A license with adequate testing would be required and would be held by the employer. When the salesman switches Jobs the license would go back to the licensing agency and would be reissued to the new employer. Evidence of misrepresentation or unethical tactics by a salesman mean revokation of the license. The plan, he said, would rs would also provide a means of eliminating who of Lake residents Salt hundreds gypping every year. high-press- black-and-wh- ng er HIGH STYLING IN WIGS one day service SYBILIVES PERMANENTS with hair cut and shampoo set Reg. $15.00 now $9 95 NEW CURLY LOOK SEE GRACE ANN JENSON just Los Angeles with NEW LOOK 0 arrived from DAVIDS SALON of BEAUTV Open 3169 Highland Drive A.M. to 8:30 P.M.
