Show FRIDAY, APRIL 10, 1970 Page Eight Moss Hails Court Decision on Courtroom Disorders Moss to Fight Proposed Cuts In Impacted Area Funds 'he state. The Utah lawmaker also noted hat the total state amount was "739,000 less than the figure reviously appropriated by Congress but vetoed by the Presi- cs35 dent. The funds have not yet been broken down on a county by ounty basis, but the First Concessional District will receive $5,148,000 and the remaining $1,988,000 will go to the Second Congressional District. The Office of Education says the various counties can expect ;o receive close to the amount ;hey receive during fiscal 1969, ne Senator Frank E. Moss Senator Frank E. Moss of Utah said he wil fight a proposal by the Nixon administration which would greatly reduce the amount of federal funds provided to the state of Utah under the aid to impacted areas program. Under this program school districts where federal facilities cause increased school enrollment receive special federal funds to help defray the added school expenses. I have received a letter from William R. Boren, superintendent of schools, Weber County. Mr. Boren tells me the Nixon Administration has made a proposal which could mean an annual loss of $600,000 to $800,-00- 0 for the Weber school district. According to Mr. Boren, under the proposal being made, students whose parents work on federal installations within the county are to be counted at 40 per cent and students whose parents work on federal property outside the county are to be counted at only 20 per cent. Of course with Hill Air Force Base being located in Davis County this would have a tremendous effect on Weber county. Many of the Hill employees live outside Davis County, so Salt Lake county and other counties also would be adversely affected by this change. I do not agree with this new formula, and I will do all I can to see that it is not implemented, Senator Moss said. Utah will receive $7,047,000 in federal aid to impacted area schools under the Health, Education and Welfare Appropriations Bill which has been passed by Congress and signed by the President. Senator Moss said most of the money will go to counties in the Golden Spike Empire portion of During 1969, Davis County received the largest amount of any county in the state, with a total of $2,094,932. Weber county was next with $1,964,927, followed by $402,306 in Box Elder, $61,486 to Morgan county and $15,023 in Wasatch county. Senator Moss said the 1969 figure for Salt Lake County was $2,282,063 and the Utah County figure was $173,608. It is too bad we could not have overridden the Presidential veto and provided the full Congress wanted to give the state, he said. But we did force a considerable increase in what the President said he was willing to accept. His original position was to reduce the figure to $1,828,- 000 which would have been totaly inadequate. 1 The President made a lot of noise but then approved most of the impacted funds he had objected to. I guess they were not inflationary afetr all. Aid to federally impacted areas has come under attack from many sides this year, but 1 feel it is one of the most important worthwhile forms of federal aid, he said. $8,-840,0- 00 Senator Frank E. Mess of Utah hailed the Supreme Court dec! sion regarding the maintenance of order in court rooms as a lan:' mark decision in the preserva t'on of law and order in the U.S. The statement was issued in his Washington office. As a former judge and county attorney, I realize fully the importance of dignity and decorum in court proceedings. If we are to maintain law and order in the United States and provide every citizen his constitutional right to a fair trial we must have pub lie confidence in the legal proceedings which take place in our court rooms. The recent example of the trial of the Chicago 7 is vivid proof of what can happen if trials are allowed to become dis- THE SALT LAKE TIMES Governor Rampton Proclaims April as Cancer Month where there are only a few doctors. They are aimed at detect-n- g cancer in women, and some malignancies have been found n the more than 1,500 women screened so far. The Cancer Society also is giving financial support to research into the causes and cures of cancer. It provides service to cancer patients like Brian and Becky and promotes education urograms to alert and help the public as well. On hand for the signing of the proclamation were E. LaMar Buckner, state Crusade Chairman for the Cancer Society, and Sllis R. Ivory, Salt Lake County Crusade Chairman. Mr. Buckner stated that the Cancer Society needs the generous support of all Utahns to help finance medical reseai-cprojects at a time when federal spending on such work has fallen off and many promising new avenues of research are beginning to open up to scientists. Without such generous assistance some research projects may have to go without support and key answers to the dread disease of cancer may be contained in one of those projects, he said. During the month of April some 17,000 volunteer workers vill visit all homes and business :irst in the state to distribute ife saving information on cancer and seek financial contribu-ion- s to carry on a fight against the disease.
