Most attention will focus on the naming of a national chair-man. Present National Chairman Paul M. Butler is standing for re-electi- No major opposition candidate has come forth, but this does not mean that Mr. But-ler is without opposition. The present chairman has a forthright stand on civil rights and what should be done with party members who oppose a strong stand on civil rights leg-islation. Mr. Butler suggested that these people mainly in the south be booted out of the Democratic party. This view is in direct contrast to those held by such strong Democratic leaders, as Senator Lyndon B. Johnson of Texas, Senate Democratic leader, and House Speaker Sam Rayburn. Other high party officials are also known to be opposed to Mr. Butler's civil rights views. And others oppose him on various other grounds. However, the outspoken chair-man also has considerable sup-port in other sections of the party leadership. Mr. Butler has not said what his personal plans are other than to seek reelection to the party chairmanship. Life Span Declines For Wage Earners America's wage earners and their families registered a slight decline in average length of life last year the first decline since 1943 according to statisticians cf the Metropolitan Life Insur-ance Company. Average length of life among the Metropolitan's million's of industrial policyholders was 70.0 years in 1957, or 0.2 years be-low the all time high established in 1956. This slight decline resulted as a result of the widespread out-break of Asian flu during the last quarter of the year. Even with this unfavorable develop-ment, the average length of life of these insured persons in 1957 was 3 years greater than in 1947 and 23 years above that for 1909. The gains of the past decade have benefited each age group among the policyholders, includ-ing those well into adult life. Among all policyholders at age 20, the average future lifetime attend from local sportsmen's clubs in the state, has been extended 2.65 years since 1947. Even at age 40 the increase in expectation of life exceeds two years; currently, the average future lifetime at this age is close to 34 years. The long-ter- m gains in longev-ity have been more rapid for the nation's wage earners and their families than for the general population of the U. S. In 1909 the expectation of life at birth among the Metropolitan's indus-trial policyholders was six years less than that for the population as a whole; at present the record for the two groups is about the same. Utah's National Guard 11 ins Top Honors The Utah Army National Guard won first place in 1958 field training honors among the eight western states, according to an announcement by Headquarters Sixth U.S. Army. Maj. Gen. Maxwell E. Rich, Utah Adjutant General, and Brig. Gen. Frank S. Hummel, Commander of the Utah Guard's artillery units, attended a train-ing conference at Sixth U. S. Army headquarters in San Fran-cisco, recently where details of training strengths and weak-nesses were discussed. Units and personnel are rated on leadership, equipment main-tenac- e, unit food service pro-gram, communication training, command functioning, staff func-tioning, weapons proficiency, in-dividual job skills, supply pro-cedures, presentation of instruc-tion, military courtesy, squad and section training, personal hy-giene, and planning. Grading is done by an Inspec-toi- n Board consisting of regular army officers who visit National Guard units at their field train-ing sites. All phases of training are carefully scrutinized to de-termine combat proficiency of each unit. A detailed report on each unit is sent to the Army Commander.
