Volume 37 Number 37 Will It Budge It? I, --- y y W M County Attorney Investigates S. L. Justice Courts All Salt Lake County justices of the peace this week were or-dered by Salt Lake County At-torney Frank E. Moss not to de-stroy any records until they had been audited by the county audi-tor. Mr. Moss also announced he has conferred with Attorney General E. R. Callister Jr. in an attempt to tighten up methods of record keeping under existing laws. He said he intended to see if amendments should be to presented the Utah Legislature to cor-rect the present system which many experts in the field declare is antiquated. The county attorney noted that justice courts are not courts of record. He said that to this point investigators have found nothing in existing statutes which directs the courts to keep permanent documents. It appears that court dockets must be kept but complaints, warrants and other papers, for which the justice of the neace collects fees, are not required to be saved. Peter F, Leary, deputy county attorney who last week in,j-gate- d the procedures and recwds of one of the county's justices of the peace, said it had been de-termined that complaints, war-rants and other similar papers had been destroyed after 30 days. It was these records and docu-ments that Mr. Moss this week ordered the justices of the peace to hold until an audit of the other justice of the peace records can be carried out. According to County Auditor Glen T. James, his office will audit all books and records, in-cluding complaints and warrants if and when they are kept. Mr. James said he planned to send a deputy to each justice of the peace office to carry out an audit of his books. Support Brotherhood Week Brotherhood Week, February 16-2- 3, represents, unfortu-nately, more hope than fulfillment. The barriers persist despite the efforts of the best-intention-ed men and women to tear them down. On the global scene, the barriers are political. President Eisenhower's passionate belief in a "people to people" program of friendship can never materialize while despotic Communist rulers isolate their subjects from the world beyond. That, obviously, is because unhampered communication and interchange between the people of the free world and the people of the Communist world would mean the end of totali-tarian oppression, the end of 20th century slavery. So it's a matter of Communist policy to be against true brotherhood or call it true democracy. There's no future in it for the rulers. How simple, by contrast, are the barriers to brotherhood here at home. Only they aren't. Here the barriers are emotional and, as scarcely anyone need be reminded, the roots of hostility and prejudice run deep. Thus the United States still has its Little Rocks, as well as countless less dramatic eruptions that divide instead of uniting. But there is hope and measureable progress, too, as long as rational men and women can coolly examine and dissect their; prejudices. Under objective scrutiny, those prejudices are bound to thaw out. No, it doesn't happen everywhere or every time by any means, but we think it happens more and more. As it does, the cause of brotherhood gains. And in this the National Conference of Christian and Jews, this year sponsoring its silver anniversary of Brotherhood Week, they can take pride. For it has helped bring the time of genuine brotherhood nearer. oOo aid in the enforcement of them. It was noted that a major share of accidents and deaths,, aside from vandalism and destroyed property, are a direct result of illegal use of guns by juveniles. A Reminder on Use of Firearms A reminder covering the illegal use of guns by juveniles was issued this week by the department of fish and game, as department law enforcement records showed a sharp increase in the incidents where these laws are being violated. Department field reports indicate that many doting parents and guardians are allowing youngsters to go afield alone in direct violation of the law. Utah law provides that no one under the age of 14 years may own a gun, nor may they use, or hunt with a gun before reaching the age of 14 years unless accompanied by someone 21 years of age or older. Further provisions of the law subject the parent or guardian to arrest and prosecution for contributing to the delinquency of a minor where they permit the juvenile to violate this and other laws. Spokesmen noted that intent of this legislative law was to provide for a period in which juveniles might be taken afield by some one of legal age so they might be taught safe gun handling and good hunting practices before reaching the age when they go afield alone. Upon reaching 14 years of age the juvenile may then hunt for non-gam- e creatures without license and without adult super-vision. If properly licensed at 14 and 15 years of age he may hunt for game birds in season but again only when accom-panied by someone of legal age. At 16 years of age the juvenile is considered adult insofar as the state fish and game laws are concerned and may then purchase and use the regular adult fish and game licenses. The department in citing the foregoing urged everyone concerned with the youth of the state to respect these laws and Democratic Solon Blasts GOP in S.L Appearance A respected Democratic mem-ber of Congress, Rep. Wayne L. Hays of Ohio, this week charged that Secretary of State John Foster Dulles is giving the na-fti- on a "day to day,, crisis to crisis" brand of statesmanship. . Rep. Hays, in Salt Lake City to address the first of the Uni-- fer to help build the Aswan Dam and ending with our refusal to sell Egypt wheat, our policy has been bungled." He said that "American foreign policy all over the world should be one of firmness and decency with the stress on gaining respect rather than trying to win love."! versity of Utah "Decisions 1958" series of meetings, charged that United States foreign policy, par-ticularly in the mideast, borders on the ridiculous. In his address he discussed the subject, "Why Doesn't the U. S. Have a Foreign Policy?" Rep. Hays is a member of the House Foreign Affairs Commit-tee and a member of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization Committee. He visited 20 countries in the mid-ea- st and Africa during De-cember. During the trip he met with President Nasser of Egypt. Rep. Hays said the recently an-nounced merger of Egypt and Syria should offer this country no greater problem than it has been facing in the Middle East. He said the event was "only the ; beginning" of President Nasser's J plan to link the Arab countries j into one nation. He predicted I that completion of the plan will prove difficult for Nasser be-cause "there are a number of kings to get rid of and some of them will prove difficult." The Democratic Congressman said that President Nasser "gave me the impression that he want-ed to improve relations with the West." He said the Egyptian president is a realist and that "with the proper handling of the situation the Middle East could be brought under the influence of the Free World." He charged that the Republi-can inspired "vacillating policy of the Middle East has lost us friends on both sides.

A part of the program explains how weathermen draw the fore-cast maps, with actual weather scenes showing what the map symbols represent. Other scenes show the fury of tornadoes and hurricanes as they sweep across the land. The origins of these destructive storms are described as is the work of weathermen in tracking them and forecasting their paths. What scientists have learned about four basis weather ele-ments, wind, snow, rain, clouds, is described in detail. In the final scenes are shown some of the measures that scientists have devised for the control of the weather. Out of touch?
