BROWN Salt Lake County Chairman With the Salt Lake County Democratic convention only a week away and state conven-tions in the immediate future, area Democrats this week were promised plentiful activity in the months ahead. Already the party has four candidates in the race for the governor nomination and there is a possibility more may enter the race soon. In the First Congressional Dis-trict four candidates also are on deck in a race for the nomination for the House seat now held by Rep. Henry A. Dixon. State offices, particularly that of attorney general and secretary of state have also attracted can-didate interest. Two prominent Democrats are seeking the nomi-nation for secretary of state and the same number for attorney general. In the party organization the Salt Lake County chairmanship is open with incumbent chair-man Laurel J. Brown announcing he would not seek re-electi- on. Mr. Brown is going to run for the party's nomination for sec-retary of state. Calvin L. Rampton, a Salt Lake attorney and veteran party mem-ber, has announced he would seek the post of National Com-mitteeman from Utah. Incum-bent Calvin W. Rawlings is ex-pected to announce soon for re-election. In the Democratic state chair-man picture the name of Ray Pruett has been cropping up in speculation over possible candi-dates. The post now is held by Richard C. Howe. Democrats in the race for the governor nomination include State Senator Alonzo F. Hopkin; St. George Mayor William A. Barlocker; House Speaker Shel-don R. Brewster and Ogden at-torney Ira A. Huggins. Symington Joins King In Sponsoring Bill Sen. Stuart Symington of Mis-siu- ri has joined Rep. David S. King of Utah in sponsorship of legislation outlawing the use of the nation's military uniforms and flag in advertising. Mr. King, who wrote and in-troduced the bill, said Senator Symington had introduced it in the Senate. The United Veterans Council this week commended Mr. King for writing and introducing the bill. "I am grateful that the vet-erans organizations share my de-termination to see the emblems shielded against commercial ex-ploitation," Mr. King said. Under Mr. King's bill, the flag and the military uniform could be used in only two commercial enterprises: 1. Theater and mo-tion picture productions; 2. The sale and advertising for sale of the uniform and the flag them-selves. Wayne Christoffcrsen Named Clerk Of U.S. District Court ; p . - 1 f 41 ' "111 i ' ' ; tit ' 5 l!&d'4 ' v' t r y . IN WAYNE CIIRISTOFFERSEN A Salt Lake attorney and busi-nessman, Wayne Christoffcrsen, has been appointed clerk of the U. S. District Court for Utah. Mr. Christofferson will assume the post on Monday, succeeding Sharon L. Hatch, who resigned to become executive secretary of the Inter-Institut- e, Inc., Provi-dence, R. I. Judge Willis W. Ritter, chief judge of the court, announced the appointment. Mr. Christoffersen is a native of Brigham City. He was deputy clerk of the District of Columbia Police Court from 1936 to 1939 when he was attending George Washington University, where he obtained a law degree in 1940. He returned to Utah and be-came an assistant to former Utah attorney general Joseph Chez. Prior to studying at George Washington he attended Utah State University. He served as chief counsel for the Utah Tax Commission be-tween 1942 and 1949, was dep-uty secretary of state for Utah from 1949 to 1953 and served as assistant city attorney for Salt Lake City from 1953 to 1955. Moss Asking Congress To Overlook Strike In Dam Interest Cost Senator Frank E. Moss of Utah is asking Congress not to count the period of the Glen Canyon workers' strike in figuring inter-est payments on the Upper Colo-rado Storage Project. He has introduced a bill which directs the Secretary of the Treasury in computing interest on the unamortized balance of the investment in the power and municipal water supply features of Colorado River units or par-ticipating projects, to disregard any period for which the Secre-tary of the Interior certifies that construction has been halted by a strike or other unavoidable work stoppage. "Construction of the Glen Can-yon Storage Unit was delayed six months by the strike. Thei accumulated interest will ma-terially increase its cost and thereby decrease the net power revenues available to help pay for irrigation projects," he said. "In authorizing the Colorado River Storage Project, the Con-gress imposed a heavier burden than that imposed upon users of previous projects: Interest was figured from the date the money was allocated, rather than from the date the project went into operation. But in providing for interest payments during con-struction, Congress did not con-template strike delays, or addi-tional interest caused by them. "Since 85 per cent of the cost of the Glen Canyon Storage Unit will be charged to interest bear-ing allocations, provisions must be made to stop interest from accumulating during unavoid-able work stoppages," he said. The Utah Water and Power Board has recommended the leg-islation, he said. TODAY'S EDITORIAL . 4 Eisenhower Formula: Strong Words and Weak Deeds On issues of education the Eisenhower Administration has been characteristically strong on words and weak on deeds. Periodically White House spokesmen have proclaimed the virtues of education and the urgent need for more and better education. Periodically also when the time for action came their voices grew soft or silent. They failed to heed even the modest recom-mendations of their own advisory groups or to press Repub-lican members of Congress to support even the mild educational proposals of the President. There has been no shortage of Presidential committees on education, and no shortage of committee recommendations. The White House Conference on Education, the President's Com-mittee on Education Beyond the High School, and more recently the President's Scientific Advisory Committee have helped alert the nation to the dimensions and urgency of its educational needs. Their reports have helped to stimulate some constructive actions (Continued on Page Four) j News Preview j ! U.
