Show Page Eight FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 27, 1959 THE SALT LAKE TIMES Demo Chairman Comments On 1960 Party Platform Democrats at their 1960 con-vention will write the strongest statement on civil rights ever included in a party platform, Democratic National Chairman Paul M. Butler recently said. "I'm giving notice in advance to let everyone know what's go-ing to happen in the 1960 con-vention," Butler said. The national chairman said he though the south would go along wtih the plank. He cited what he described as a noticeable change in the southern attitude toward human rights. "Southerners are being in-creasingly influenced by judicial opinion against their point of view," Butler added. He also said the South is afraid its in-dustrial potential will be threat-ened if it maintains its segre-gated schools. Butler said he does not con-sider Adlai E. Stevenson a can-didate for the 1960 presidential nomination "on the basis of what Stevenson has said." "No man can be seriously con-sidered for the nomination in 1960 unless he can submit his name in one of two preferential primaries,"Butler declared. "Mr. Stevenson undoubtedly will re-frain from entering preferential primaries on the basis of being a two-tim- e loser." Butler declined to discuss the controversy over the selection of Los Angeles for the Democratic National Convention next year. He did say, however, the recom-mendation of the site selection committee never has been upset by the Democratic National com-mittee. In regard to the tentative se-lection of Los Angeles as the site for the 1960 Democratic convention, and Chicago's con-tinuing efforts to get the con-vention, Butler indicated there would be no change in the se-lection of the west coast city. He declined to be drawn into any controversy with Chicago Mayor Richard J. Daley over the site selection. But he said that never in history has the party's national committee reversed a decision of the site selection com-mittee. Switching to the Republicans, Butler said he "did not think" there was much chance for any one other than Vice President Richard M. Nixon or New York Gov. Nelson A. Rockefeller to get the GOP presidential nomi-nation in 1960. Meanwhile the national board of Americans for Democratic Ac-to- in described as "morbid and defeatist" documents President Eisenhower's state of the union and budget messages. The board said in a statement that Eisenhower had put penny- - wise economy ahead of vital American priority in the cold war, and thus had "given warm comfort to the Kremlin and de-spair to our allies. The ADA describes itself as a nonpartisan organization fight-ing for liberal causes. It has sup-ported only Democratic presi-dential candidates, however. The board said Eisenhower's program will no more meet the inflationary threat than it meets national needs. The forces of in-flation, it said, will continue to push prices up as long as the ad-ministration's policies "handcuff our national economy." The ADA leaders called on the "liberal. (Democratic) rnajori:. ties" in Congress to "accept the responsibility for meaningful legislative action which both the White House and Congressional leaders have so far evaded."

Among the important person-- ; alities, most of whom will be introduced to the Washington dinner audience for the first time, are: Rep. David S. King of Utah, the son of the late U. S. Senator from Utah, won in November by getting 52 per cent of the vote after a voter poll had given him a pre-electi- on estimate of 42.6! per cent of the vote. ( Gov. J.

Mr. King observed that it has been "repeatedly and painfully poinetd out that few American scientists know Russian." The Utah Congressman said that members of the Science and Astronautics Committee who participated in the committee's recent inspection of the Cape Canaveral and Redstone installa-tions were told that the Russians in recent years have been trans-lating every useful article, book and journal which American sci-ence produces. "The Russians waste no time in the process. They have com-plete translations of our books within days after their publica-tion. "By painful contrast, the U.S. has gone to little trouble to translate Russian scientific pub-lications, despite the fact that our Library of Congress has the finest Slavic languages library outside the Soviet Union."

Moss Spends Busy Week in Utah U. S. Senate committee assign-ments, plus meetings with civic and Democratic party leaders, provided a busy week last week for Sen. Frank E. Moss, taking his first trip home since the opening of Congress. As the official representative of the Senate Committee on In-terior and Insular Affairs, he spent Friday, February 20, at-tending opening ceremonies for the Glen Canyon Bridge. Span-ning the 1200 foot wide gorge of the Colorado River, the bridge was opened to the public in a ceremony by the governors of Utah and Arizona, and Commis-sioner W. A. Dexheimer of the Bureau of Reclamation. Sen. Moss arrived in Utah Mon-day night after spending the day in a public works committee hearing at Pierre, South Dakota. Tuesday was spent in his Salt Lake office. At noon Wednesday he met with Democratic members, and during the afternoon sessions ad-dressed both houses of the state Legislature. In his talks, the Senator advocated giving more attention to the future and for-mulating plans, including legis-lative plans, for long term de-velopment of Utah and the west. Thursday the Utah Democrat spoke at Westminster College, Salt Lake City at a luncheon for civic and business leaders in Ogden given by the Weber Coun-ty Democratic Committee. Sat-urday he confered with the Utah Water and Power Board. Sunday the Utah County Democratic Committee sponosored a Provo reception for civic and party leaders. The Glen Canyon Bridge and the new highways create a new interstate link through a here-tofore inaccessible but scenic area. It is the second crossing of the Colorado River in the 640 miles between Hoover Dam on the Arizona-Nevad- a state line, and Moab. Opening of the bridge completes a 100 mile alternate route for U. S. Highway 89 be-tween Bitter Springs, Arizona, and Kanab. |
