"Purpose of the grant is to en-courage young teachers in medi-cal schools in the United States and Canada to remain in aca-demic medicine," Dr. Price said. He, said that such grants by private firms are a big step for-- ; ward in keeping talented young" teachers in the academic field and thus strengthen msdical ed-ucation. The awards are granted to fac-- 1 ulty members of instructor pr assistant professor rank and may either pay his full salary over three years or supplement his salary. Dr. Edwards was chosen for the award by a committee of professors drawn from medical schools across the country. Dr. Edwards is a graduate of Johns Hopkins University and was assistant professor of phy-siological optics there before joining the University of Utah College of Medicine staff. Lederle was among the first of the private companies, to pro-vide money to expand oppor-tunities in academic medicine. Since the start of the Medical Faculty Award program in 1954 some $1,500,000 has been given to 92 outstanding young physi-cians. Some $279,000 was dis-tributed this year.

CHARLES EDWARDS A University of Utah College of Medicine faculty member has been selected as oneof 13 young teachers in the nation to parti-cipate in the 1959 Medical Fac-ulty Award Program of Lederle Laboratories, a division of the American Cyanamid Co., dean of the medical school said. Dr. Price said that Dr. Charles Edwards, 1804 Mountain View, research, assistant professor of psychology, has been awarded Flaming Gorge Area Closed to Boating Blasting and scaling of rock from the canyon walls now go-ing on at the Flaming Gorge dam site creates such hazardous con-ditions that the Bureau of Recla-mation must close the construc-tion zone to all boating. Boating parties will no longer be able to float on the Green River through the damsite area, Regional Director E. O. Larson announced in Salt Lake City. However, he said that boating parties could leave the Green River just below Ashley Falls at the new temporary susDension bridge built by the Utah State Highway Department about two miles upstream from the Flam-ing Gorge damsite. Boaters can transport their boats and gear by the road to Little Hole and re-ent- er the Green River at that point to continue on through the Dinosaur . National Monument to Jensen, Utah. Most of the road is steep and rough on the portage around Flaming Gorge damsite. Only four-whe- el drive vehicles, or trucks with powerful low gears should be used in the detour from the suspension bridge to Little Hole, it was pointed out by Jean R. Walton, project con-struction engineer for Flaming Gorge Dam. He saM the road is very steep where you leave the river at the suspension bridge. Mr. Walton also added that it woudl be advisable to scout the situation before attempting to portage the Flaming Gorge dam-site. Sometime this summer it is expected that a contractor will be clearing the reservoir area in the 25 mile reach from the dam site to Linwood, Utah. Boating any place in the canyon would be hazardous while the clearing goes on. Many trees and other growth will be knocked from the canyon walls several hun-dred feet above the river in the canyon bottom. Logs and debris in the river above Flaming Gorge dam site at that time will be dangerous to boaters.- - Work proceeds in the lining of the single diversion tunnel at Flaming Gorge dam site. Con-struction of the coffer dam and diversion of the river through the tunnel probably will be com-pleted in August or September of this year. , The 490 foot high Flaming Gorge Dam will create a 01 mile long reservoir. Construction of the dam is scheduled for com-pletion in the summer of 1963. Excellent boating and other rec- - reational activities will be of-fered when the dam is completed and the reservoir fills.

After attending the conference the group will travel to Wash-ington, D. C, where they will spend a day seeing the sights of the nation's canital. They will return to Salt Lake May 3. The purpose of the conference which is sponsored by the Utah Power & Light Co., in conjunc-tion with some 70 other investor owned electric utility companeis, is "to present to a group of the nation's most able high school science students and teachers a picture of the peaceful atom in all its various applications, and to help advance interest in the study of science in the U. S," Between 600 and 700 students and teachers from the nation will attend. "During the conference factual reports . on the peacetime uses of the atom will be presented by top spokesmen, including John F. Floberg, commissioner of the Atomic Energy Commission; C. E. Robbin, executive manager of Atomic Industrial Forum; Dr. Cyril L. Comar, director, labora-tory of Radiation Biology, Cor-nell University, and others. In addition, exhibits concern-ing the peaceful uses of the atom will be displayed, includ-ing the 5000 square foot exhibit "You and the Atom" constructed by the Oak Ridge Institute of Nuclear Studies. General chairman of the con-ference is E. Mi Naughton, pres- - Rep. King Protests A. F, Consolidation The chairman of the House Committee on Armed Services Thursday promised Rep. David S. King that he would launch an immediate inquiry into an Air Force decisoin to consolidate its Ground Electronics Engineering Installation Agency offices. The decision, which would trim from eight to three the num-ber of GEElA regional offices, would close the regional office at Clearfield. Mr. King asked a conference Thursday with Rep. Carl Vinson of Georgia, Armed Services Com-mittee chairman, at whioh the Utah congresman strongly urged committee inquiry. The chairman called immedia-tely for a full explanation for the Air Force on the decision. Mr. King stressed the impor-tance of immediate inquiry, as the Air Force proposes to com-plete the reorganization July 1. The Utahn said he questions whether the decision was in the best interests of national defense. He told Mr. Vinson, "We sin-cerely wonder whether this de-fense effort will be best served by the consolidation of these op-erations into the three offices. It seems reasonable that this vital function would be less vulner-able to attack if its experts were scattered among eight regional offices." GEEIA, Mr. King said, repre-sents the "primary engineers" in the nation's air defense system. Its experts are responsible for both installation and mainten-ance of all the electronics sys: terns in air defense including communications and missiles, as well as conventional aircraft. He said he questions the wis-dom of "retrenchment" in this field, at a time when the missile and . air power program is ex-panding rapidly and national survival has come to rest almost entirely upon air defense. '"He'said the verbal explanation which Air Force officials gave him for the decision was simply that "there were too many peo-ple in the program." |
