Organization was completed at a meeting at the home of Mrs. Dorothy Henderson, Salt , Lake County vice chairman. The group, comprised of vice chairmen of Representative and Senatorial districts in the county voted to meet the first Thursday of each month. At the initial meeting, Mrs. Henderson was elected chairman and Barbara Tunks, secretary. A major purpose of the organi-zation is to create and maintain high interest in the Democratic Party among Salt Lake County women. Mrs. Henderson noted "that elections are won at the grass roots level." For this reason we must get together and organize clubs to bring in new members. At the well attended first meet-ing Salt Lake County Demo-cratic Chairman Laurel Brown discussed the party's sustaining funds project. Mrs. Roxey Romney, Demo-cratic National Committeewom-an- , spoke on round robins and the part they played in winning the last election. She also called attention to Democratic Womens Day, which is scheduled for Oc-tober. Next meeting of the group will be a luncheon at the Town House, 158-3r- d East, Sept. 3 at 1 p.m., the chairman said. Rep. King Asks Resignation of Teamsters1 Hoffa Utah's Democratic Congress-man this week spoke out on the floor of the House in connection with debate on Labor Legisla-tion. Following is the text of Rep. King's statement: "Mr. Speaker, today is the pre-lude to the storm which will be upon us tomorrow, when we be-gin historic debate on the labor bill. "It is my strong feeling that the best thing that could happen at this time would be the resig-nation of James R. Hoffa as the president of the International Brotherhood of Teamsters. "I make this statement for the reason that I feel that Mr. Hoffa has placed himself in a position in which it is impossible for him to further the best interests of the labor movement and of legi-timate unionism. His name is an anathema among the great majority of the non-unio- n mem-bers of the American popula-tion. His continued presence as head of the largest and most powerful single union in this country, serves only to widen the breach between union and non-union citizens. "I feel that there is nothing that could better clear the atmos-phere and reassure the American people of the good intentions of American labor than for Hoffa to resign. If his first interest is in the promotion of legitimate unionism, then he surely cannot fail to perceive that he is now no longer in a position in which he can serve that end. At this time, therefore, I do hereby publicly call upon Mr. James R. Hoffa to resign. I do this for the reason that this nation will then be in a better position to see the labor problem in its true perspective." Text of telegram from David S. King to James R. Hoffa: "As we approach the House debate on labor legislation I find a great anti-lab- or cloud gather-ing to jeopardize the enactment of a bill which will be fair to labor. You are the focal point of this anti-lab- or sentiment, where-fore, as a man who had dedicated his life to the American labor movement, you can, in my opin-ion, now do a great service to labor's cause by resigning im-mediately." Has Nixon Visit Changed Things? (Continued from Page 1) After the war, the only other great military power, the United States, demobilized and substantially denuded itself of regular forces. To remove the fear and danger of nuclear weapons, of which it then had a monopoly, the United States offered to put the whole business of nuclear power and weapons under international control. But the Soviet government refused all offers and redoubled efforts in both nuclear and regular armaments. During the war the Kremlin used its military power to absorb Lithuania, Esthonia, Latvia and Outer Mongolia. At the war's end it used its military power to make satellites of Poland, Hungary, Rumania, Bulgaria, East Germany, North Korea, and try to make satellites of Iran, Greece and Yuvoslavia. In other words, communist governments took over wherever the Kremlin had the physical power in position. Where troops could not or dared not go, subversion or threat was used successfully in Czechoslovakia, unsuccessfully in Greece, Turkey, Italy, France, West Germany and the Low Countries. And the Kremlin has recently added the export of capital and arms as a means of dominating Asia and Africa. Four years of high level talks (1946-1949- ) failed to make any progress toward unifying Germany and getting a German peace treaty. Instead, the Soviet Union first declared the cold war by compelling its satellites to reject the Marshall Plan, and then, again showed its willingness to use force, directly and in-directly, in the blockade of Berlin and in Korea. Again in 1955, at the summit conference in Geneva and afterwards, attempts to reach agreement on Germany failed. Almost steady discussion of armament from 1946 to 1958 has run into the blank wall of Soviet refusal to permit any safe and reliable inspection and control. We return to our question, why has this happened? Why does the Soviet Union maintain the greatest armaments in the world and persist in maximizing international tensions? The answer lies not in wickedness among the Russian peo-ple; but, partly, in the nature of dictatorships, and, more, in the Soviet communist dictatorship. The suspicion, fear, and ruth-lessne- ss of absolute power which corrupts absolutely have combined with Marxist-Lenini- st ideology to compel the Soviet leaders to a warped and distorted view of the non-communi- st world.

It was a record number. Summons for jury duty will be served on 375 affected persons in about one week. Mr. Weiler said the fall term will start Sept. 8. . An analysis of Salt Lake City's traffic safety and control pro-gram was presented Tuesday in the City Commission Chambers by the National Safety Council. Mileage and per diem expenses amounting to $257.10 have been approved by the Salt Lake City Commission for L. M. Christen-sen- , chief city electrical inspec-tor, to attend meetings of the northwest section of the Inter-national Association of Electrical Inspectors Aug. 23-2- 6 in Seattle, Wash. Utah State Board of Correc-tions will seek more pay for li-cense plates manufactured at the Utah State Prison this year. The board is seeking an increase of one cent for the manufacture of all license plates made in pairs and four cents for those manu-factured individually. Salary raises of $15 monthly for eight persons employed by the Salt Lake County Attorney's office have received approval of the Salt Lake County Commis-sion. Receiving the wage boosts were Ollie McCullough, Richard C. Dibblee, Wayne A. Ashworth, Mark S. Miner, Lurie Burnett, Maxine B. Wilson, Amy N. Jackson and Ann P. Brown. The state's tax yield for July, the first month of the new fiscal year, totaled $5,489,578, the Tax Commission reported this week. This was an increase of more than five per cent for collections for July, 1958. The figures for July do not show the impact of the new state laws enacted by the Legislature earlier in the year. Rep. David S. King has been appointed to his second sub-committ- ee in his committee on Sci-ien- ce and Astronautics. Mr. King has become a mem-ber of the Patents Subcommittee which has the task of reviewing the controversial patent sections of the National Aeronautics and Space Act as well as inquiring into the basic patent problems being created by government ac-tivity in the field of scientific research and development. He is also a member of the Sub-committee on International Co-operation and Security. Army PFC Jay Markaris of 346 West Seventh No., recently participated in a six week field training exercise with the 3rd Armored Division in Germany. The exercise pitted armor infantry, and artillery units against a realistic aggressor in a mock war. He entered the Army in April 1958, completed basic training at Fort Hood, Tex., and arrived in Europe last November. He is a jeep driver and a mechanic's helper in Headquarters Com-pany of the division's 48th In-fantry. Let's Worship Together j Man must worship in several ways: alone with his God, in the warmth of the family circle, or in the common meeting place where distinctions disappear and all are one in humility and veneration. A noted clergyman once told of a parishoner who explained his irregular attendance at worship by saying he could feel as close to God, could worship Him just as well on a windswept sunset-drenche- d hill. The clergyman gently replied: "Of course you can, but DO you? Many do have their windswept hills. But the light that drenches our houses of public worship has itst own special added blessing for us when we join our family and our fellow men in acknowledging together a Power far greater than ourselves. As the Religion in American Life Program urges, "Find the Strength for Your Life . . . Worship Together This Week." oOo PROPELLANT TO INSURE POSTERITY by Ed kl'ckss 'Cleve.
