Show 1960 THE SALT LAKE TIMES P.oeTv. FRIDAY, JUNE 3, T, ..l.-- .- . . ,i - l 5 daltinJ tlte Jdecultined 'I In the same way devestating echoes of that Chilean earth-quake were felt throughout the entire Pacific, the shock waves from the celebrated American spy plane flight into the Soviet Union are also being felt in un-expected ways. It might have been supposed, of course, that it would have hurt! whatever fragile bipartisan for-eign policy could have prevailed in a presidential election year. It was inevitable that it would have become an election issue, divide many Americans, split them politically and even further divide both political parties into factions supporting and criticiz-ing the Administration. However one unexpected effect of the spy plane summit episode appears to have caught everyone 'during the past administra-tions." He urges that the United States should break diplomatic relations with the Soviets "so that her envoys can no longer swarm all over." The spy plane, summit collapse and new attention to espionage have also fostered a new series of attacks on East-We- st cultural exchange, which the FBI's Hoo-ver has described as an "open door to Soviet spies." But the biggest bombshell echoing new concern over spies, espionage, treasonand charges of "softness on Communism" ex-ploded in politics. Vice Presi-dent Nixon, an old hand at re-minding the country of a domes-tic link to foreign espionage, was criticized by many for doing it again. He disclosed Soviet spying by surprise. Not since the hectic angry days of the late Senator Joseph R. McCarthy of Wiscon-sin as the country paid so much attention to spies and espionage or have such words as "treason" and "softness toward Commu-nism" been heard echoing around Washington as they have this week. "McCarthyism 1960" really be-gan in the United Nations during the angry exchanges between So-viet Foreign Minister Andrei Gromyko and U. S. Ambassador Henry Cabot Lodge over espio-nage aspects of the spy plane and summit collapse. The angri-er Soviet charges grew against U. S. aerial esnionaffe. the more during Khrushchev's U. S. visit. . Democrats denounced Nixon for using hitherto classified in-formation for partisan advantage since the previously undisclosed data was made public at a New York political rally. The spy plane's echo was soon found in Congress in an uproar. Too many charges and counter-charges occurred in the House to report. In the Senate, GOP Leader Dirksen quoted a Paris press interview Adlai Stevenson already repudiated, to claim the Democrat favored "appeasing the Soviets" in criticizing the Presi-dent's spy plane summit role. Senator Thruston Morton, GOP Lodge countered by revealing evidence of Red espionage on the U. S. Senator Thomas Dodd of Con-necticut demanded that "greater restrictions should be imposed on the movements and activities of Soviet bloc diplomats in the U. S." which sounded logical FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover declared that the listing of So-viet espionage activity in the U. S. by Ambassador Lodge has "again reminded Americans of the menace" this activity poses, and "the importance of taking firm, new steps against it." The FBI has been complaining that the pre-summ- it "Spirit of Camp David" complicated his task of thwarting subversion. Now that "peaceful appears to have faltered, the FBI is now anxious to act against subver-sion it fostered. New York's Republican Sen. Keating has declared that "the recounting of Soviet espionage should cause all Americans to feel uneasy at the way Soviet espionage agents were so easily able to infiltrate." National unairman, cnargea tnat "Stevenson was angling toward a soft approach to the Soviet challenge." Democratic National Chairman Butler replied that GOP budget cutting weakened military defense and constituted real "softness toward Moscow." GOP criitcs also sought to link Masachusetts Senator Kennedy to a "appeasement faction" with in the Democratic party. In a clever but unfortunate play on words, Pennsylvania's GOP Sen. Scott told the Senate that Ken-nedy and Stevenson were "turn quotes" for often claiming any press misquotation for statements that boomeranged. To the ear "turn-quotes- " sound ed like "turncoats" or traitors, which may have been intended. Democrats rose as one to de-nounce the GOP for reviving old charges that theirs was a party of treason. Apologies were de-manded. Corrections were made in the Congressional Record. But the innuendo has subtly been laid that Democrats cannot be trusted in dealing with Commu-nism. mere were many wno claimed it was as neat a smear as ever occurred in the heyday of the "Old Nixon" or late Senator McCarthy. But as valid as the spy espionage issue may be, and as urgent as it may be to thwart Communist subversion an irony remains. Surely, Joe McCarthy would have enjoyed the new rancor the spy issue has produced. What a fitting tribute. For it came ex-actly three years last month after McCarthy's death, and proved he is remembered. Keating has warned that the American Communist party must now be watched for any effort to "spread its gospel to youth to entice it into espionage activity against its own Government." Rep. Francis Walter of the House Immigration and Un-Americ- an Activities committees has called for a new probe of Communist front activity. Sen. Dodd declared that Communists are infiltrating the Committee for a Sane Nuclear Policy which opposes A testing, seeking to use it o support Soviet nuclear di-plomacy. A score of and Hungarian refugees has been heard to warn that, like an ice-berg, the Red espionage we dis-cover and are aware of, is only a small portion of the whole. Arizona's conservative GOP Senator Goldwater has declared that the UN debate on Soviet espionage activity in this coun-try reminds us of the "whole sorry mess" of Soviet espionage Miscellaneous Notices BYU President Calls For. Literature From Utah History President Ernest L. Wilkinson of Bringham Young University this week announced that the musical drama "Sand in Their Shoes," being given at the BYU Outdoor Stadium on May 27, 28, 30, 31 and June 1 will not be repeated next year. Forty-fiv- e thousand people saw the epic spectacular last years. Tickets were all sold out two days before the opening performance. Many who were turned away have been given the opportunity this summer of see-ing and hearing this stirring story of the March of the Mor-mon Battalion. Encouraged by the public re-sponse to this grand scale mu-sical play, the University looks forward to developing other great themes from time to time. President Wilkinson declares "A rfrpnt UfArntinv mncf crrmxr nut of great history; great stories must first be lived; and now is the time to encourage writers, novelists, dramatists, and com-posers to produce stories, music, novels, poetry and dreams that will stir men's souls, preserving the great heritage that is ours, and giving direction, motivation and purpose to our lives." The Promised Valley, The Mes-sages of the Ages, The Hill Cu-mor- ah Pageant, All Faces West and Sand in their Shoes are all worthy beginnings which point in the right direction. Other original epic presentations are expected to follow from time to time.

Dated this 20th day of May, 1960. ROBERT L. BACKMAN of Backman, Backman & Clark Attorneys for Plaintiff 1111 Deseret Building Salt Lake City, Utah (5-2- 7 6-1- 7) 5 Building Activity Declines in Salt Lake County Building construction activity in Salt Lake County was 13 per cent below the same period a year ago as the first quarter of 1960 closed, according to fig-ures released by the Bureau of Economic and Business Research of the University of Utah. Total construction in the coun-ty during the three month period excluding public works and util-ities construction was valued at $15 million. Salt Lake County's performance can be compared with the entire state during the first quarter when $28.9 million worth of construction was start-ed a 20 per cent drop from a year ago. Residential construction in Salt Lake County jumped both in the number of new dwelling units authorized and their valu-ation. The 796 new units started this year had a valuation of $8.6 million, as compared with 647 units for last year valued at $7.8 million. State wide residential construction also fell. Nearly 1500 new homes were started during the quarter, but this was still 3 per cent below last year's first quarter total. According to the University's Bureau release, construction of new non-residenti- al buildings in the County decreased 39 percent to $5.6 million. Likewise, non-residential building construction in the state as a whole fell 43 per cent from the previous year to a totaLof $9 million. |
