Show Page Four FRIDAY, APRIL 22, 1960 THE SALT LAKE TIMES IIMTMII Utah Democrat Conducts Study Of States Missile Activities Chairman Overton Brooks of Louisiana announced that Rep. David S. King of Utah is making an inspection tour of defense and missile installations in Utah for the Committee on Science and Astronautics. 9 In making the appointment, Brooks stated: "I have asked Congressman King to make an inspection tour of various defense and missile installations in northern Utah, . which are engaged in important work in which this Committee is interested. As a prominent member of the Utah delegation in Congress, Mr. King is well equipped to undertake the task. will assemble and test the Min-utema- n; the Hercules Powder Co., Bacchus, which is competing for the third stage production contract for the Minuteman; the Marquardt Corporation, Ogden, which produces ramjet engines for the Bomarc; and the Sperry Utah Engineering Laboratory, Salt Lake City, which is doing research and development work on the Army Sergeant missile. "I am deeply concerned with the economic stability of impor-tant defense contractors and in the scientific research and de-velopment programs upon whose fulfillment the security of our country depends. "Among our major national re-sources in the missile and space programs are the many large and small commerical organiza-tions that are called upon to do much of the engineering and construction presently involved. Certainly, engineering and scien-tific talent combined with pro-dicti- on capacities form a team "The Committee is especially eager to obtain a first hand re-port on the progress being made on the solid fuel ICBM, the Min-uteman, whose mobility will make it an important part of our defense arsenal. It is hoped that this missile can be launched from a railroad car. The Com- - whose continued vigor and health are of paramount importance to every citizen." Mr. King added: "I have been concerned with the many vicissitudes that have been experienced in the past few years by firms operating under contracts with the government, particularly with the Department of Defense. However, there is apparently little definite or pre-cise knowledge of the varying effects such experience can have upon a commercial organization and the community in which it operates. "I intend to discuss the matters with officials and employees of the concerns I plan to inspect. I am most interested to learn about such factors as the size of the payrolls, the type of com-munity, service rendered by the firms, the type of special per-sonnel employed, the firms' con-tractual experience with the fed-eral government, whether good or bad, and what business these firms can expect in the future." mittee is also interested in keep-ing fully informed on contem-plated changes in the Bomarc missile program. "The Committee is also con-cerned -- with the relationships that exist between defense con-tractors, the government, and the various communities where defense work is performed. What effect does a curtailment of a defense program, such as the Bomarc missile project, have on defense contractors, the commu-nities in which they operate, and our productive potential? The answers to this and many others related are of great interest to our committee and Mr. King's purpose in making this tour is to find the answer to some of them at least." Mr. King, a committee mem-ber, will visit the Thiokol Chem-ical Corporation in Box Elder, County, which developed and will produce the first stage of the Minuteman; Hill Air Force Base, where the Boeing Airplane Co.

Brent T. Lynch, 34, a practicing Salt Lake City attorney, this week began a new job as assist-ant Utah Attorney General. The starting salary of the new job is $485 a month. it . k T E. I. Lentz, vice president and general manager of Western Phosphates, Inc., has been elect-ed chairman of the Utah Natural Resources Committee. The public has been invited to use the University of Utah Physics Department telescope to look at the stars. The depart-ment's observatory, just east of the Playbox on the lower campus will be open each Tuesday from 8 to 10 p.m. for public viewing. Eric Johnston, since 1945 the president of the Motion Picture Association of America, four times president of the U.S. Cham-ber of Commerce, will deliver the annual Milton Bennion Me-morial Foundation lecture May 10 at . 8 p.m. in Orson Spencer Hall Auditorium on the Univer-sity of Utah campus. During 1959 a total of 20,072,-000,00- 0 gallons of water was consumed by Salt Lake City for a daily average consumption of 55 million gallons based on an estimated population of 269,400, said a report released this week by the city water department. Resident juveniles of ages 17, 18, 19 and 20 years who hunted game in Utah last year should present their 1959 license when applying for a 1960 hunting or combination hunting and fishing license. This reminder was issued by the department of fish and game as spokesmen listed the answers to many recent questions con-cerning the new law effecting licensing of juvenile hunters. The law became effective April 1 of this year. Under the new law all 17, 18, 19 and 20 year old persons must either show the 1959 license in evidence that they hunted last year, evidence that they have passed the regular training, or evidence of comparable training in the safe handling of firearms. Utah's Strong Democratic Party (Continued from Page 1) election day there is small doubt the party will put its candidate in the White House and on Utah's Capitol Hill as well. A Fascinating Fact for Democrats A fascinating fact for Democrats is that the combined Kennedy-Humphre- y vote is not only more than 71 per cent of the total primary vote, but represents a clear majority of the probable total vote in the November election. The 1956 total vote was 1,542,000. Allowing for population increases, the I960 total would be about 1,625,000. Thus if the Democratic nominee gets only the same number of votes that Kennedy and Humphrey got in the primary, while Nixon retains every vote he got, plus 100 per cent of all additional voters who did not vote in the primary but do so in November the Democrats will still carry the state! One unsolved puzzle here is how many Republicans crossed over to vote for a Democrat because of anti-Bensonis- m or other reasons. But crossing over is an old tradition in elections as well as in primaries. Let's not be overconfident, but A Washington dispatch by Philip Potter in the Baltimore Sun said a "highly informed" Republican source had expressed concern that "right wingers will dominate the GOP National Convention." GOP officials, Potter wrote, "sounded a warning note" after a look at state delegations already selected for the -- National Convention. They said that among delegations already named from the South, Midwest and Northeast a Republican like the far-rig- ht Senator Goldwater of Arizona "might well be the choice." Potter also quoted "one of the Vice President's chief sup-porters" as warning of danger that current pessimism among Nixon followers, "if not scotched, will take on such proportions that it cannot be overcome." With this we wholeheartedly agree. fc the uehterou r'boyf STRAIGHT BOURBON WHISKEY 90.4 PROOf V'G'Ov BEIMONT DISTIllINO CO., IAWRENCEBURG, INO.

In case after case, while gently relieving pain, actual reduc-tion (shrinkage) took place. Most amazing of all results were so thor-ough that sufferers made astonishing statements like "Piles have ceased to be a problem!"

Hats Off to Utah's 'G.Ps In this age of specialization in virtually every field it is heartening to know that at least one group still prides itself on ability to do a number of things well. Such an organization is the Utah chapter American Academy of General Practice. This organization is comprised of the state's "G.P.'s," the general practitioners. These medical men are highly skilled in a number of medical abilities. Some, no doubt, would excell some so-calle- d specialists in various fields. It is good to know that dedicated medical men still abound who can take care of a variety of maladies. These general practitioners have been with us in Salt Lake City the past week. For four days they attended sessions at the University of Utah designed to keep them up to the minute in the latest skills of their profession. Friday they will attend their 12th annual symposium and convention at Hotel Utah. At the convention the visiting and local doctors will hear a number of specialists who will give them the latest in their various fields. There will be men like Dr. Robert N. Barr, Health Officer of Minnesota, who will report on recent field trials in his state and in other parts Of the world with the Lederle-Co- x oral polio vaccine. And they will take back to their respective communities this knowledge to better enable them to serve all of us. |
