(Continued from Page One) Will they learn the importance of separtion of church and state and civilian control of the military? Williams suggested a few guiding principles to see us through the present threats of Birchitis and communism. (1) Use only those means for dealing with subversion which are clearly constitutional, avoiding attacks on the First, Fourth, Fifth and Sixth Amendments. "If we violate the Con-stitution to deal with those who would destroy it, then they win and we lose and we have done their work for them." (2) Rely primarily on the ample laws already on the books aimed at subversive acts and conspiracy to commit such acts as espionage and sabotage, rather than relying on laws aimed at speech or organizations as such. (3) Rely on a strong FBI and the courts rather than Con-gressional committees for the primary investigative and enforce-ment actions in coping with subversion. (4) Make the U.S. a shining example of democracy and capitalism at their best, leaving the Communists nothing to talk about. This will require tackling real problems and not being diverted by the fanatics who claim that communists are the cause of all our problems. (5) Demand proof when the fanatics start labeling this organization or that person as subversive. "Put up or shut up" must be the antidote to the bearing of false witness which is reaching epidemic proportions in this state. (6) Be wary of glib appeals of those who simplify history, who pose as "inside dopesters," who offer their patent medicines which actually transmit Birchitis rather than cure subversion. The labels on their patent medicine everyone should recog-nize and mark as poison, to be put far out of reach: To be sus-picious of one's nieghbors, to abolish the income tax, to get out of the United Nations, to withdraw from NATO, and to undo the social gains of the last twenty-fiv- e years in America. "These are not seeds for liberty and prosperity, but only grapes of wrath." the-LE- ASED GRAPEVINE A writ of prohobition was to be filed this week in Utah Su-preme Court to prevent the Met-ropolitan Water District of Salt Lake City from levying 2 mills for 1961 operations. The high court action was or-dered by the City Commission after discussing an opinion is-sued Tuesday by City Attorney Norman W. Kettner, ruling the district could not levy taxes to accumulate a surplus. The Utah AFL-CI- O this week re-elect- ed by a standing vote of acclamation. Re-elect- ed were J. R. Schone, president, and C. E. Berger, vice president. Consideration of recommenda-tions by the Salt Lake City Com-mission that the Finance Depart-ment transfer the City Cemetery operation to the Parks Depart-ment and the City Civil Defense office to the Public Safety De-partment has been postponed to Tuesday at 3 p.m. Three bids for the collection of Salt Lake City garbage by a private firm were opened this week by the City Commission. Only one met legal requirement outlined in the bid specifications. The lone bidder to meet require-ments also was the low bidder. Beehive Sanitary Service, Inc., 1524 W. 3rd South, entered the low bid of $470,352 for a year's garbage service based on 41,000 collection units. National Conference on Fam-ily Life opened in Salt Lake City August 23. Prominent lead-ers in family life education, counseling and research were in Salt Lake City for important annual national meetings of the National Council on Family Re-lations, which opened in Salt Lake City Wednesday. Utah's waterfowl season for 1961 will begin Oct. 14 at noon and continue through Dec. 27, with shooting hours to be one-ha- lf hour before sunrise to sun set except for Nov. 4, when the opening hour will be 8:00 a.m. to conform with opening of the pheasant hunt that day. Other major waterfowl season regulations were recently ap-proved by the Utah Fish and Game Commission to incorporate the maximum allowable provi-sions. Utah's farms served by REA lines have doubled their use of electricity in the last ten years, Senator Frank E. Moss said this Monday. The Rural Electrification Ad-ministration reported to the Sen-ator that between 1950 and 1960, the average monthly consump-tion of REA distributed electri-city in Utah increased from 161 to 394 kilowatt hours per farm. Mr. Moss said that Utah bor-rowers are repaying both REA telephone and electric loans on schedule. King Says Editorial Misrepresented Stand on Conference Rep. David -- S. King said the Deseret News editorially misrep-resented his proposal of an eco-nomic development conference in Utah County. The congressman said his in-tentions in proposing the confer-ence were "distorted by a Satur-day editorial which contained false implications and inuen-does.- " "My proposal has been en-dorsed by business, labor, and civic leaders in the valley and by the Provo Chamber of Com-merce," Mr. King declared. "It ties in very naturally with the industrial development pro-gram which the Provo Chamber is now launching in cooperation with the business organizations and civic leaders of all the com-munities of Utah County. "I do not have the intention, as the editorial suggested, of helping Utah County get federal assistance which the area's em-ployment pictures does not fully justify. "My soul aim has been to pro-mote economic planning in Utah valley. In this spirit, business and civic leaders have assured me that they are pleased to have the opportunity to discuss their in-dustrial development plans and exchange ideas with federal ex-perts through the conference I have proposed." Congressman King pointed out that in the 31 months he has served in the House, he has re-ceived appeals from a number of sources, including business, civic and labor leaders, to help Utah County strengthen its econ-omy. "All of these interests have voiced a common plea: 'What can you do to help us broaden the industrial base what can you do to bring new industry to Utah County?' "These interests all recognize as I do, that Utah County has, apart from agriculture, what essentially is a one-indust- ry economy. "The county should have trained counsel, including the counsel of federal experts, in pursuing economic diversifica-tion. "I am satisfied that I perform a constructive service in giving this area the counsel of experts in the federal agencies which are constantly dealing with the problems of unemployment and industrial expansion. "I am not suggesting this re-gion of fine farms, neat homes and solid industries is a de-pressed area, as the editorial falsely implies. "But the fact that the Provo-Ore- m area has been classified as an area of substantial unemploy-ment does entitle it to the coun-sel of federal economists, and other experts, and I am pleased to have the opportunity to spear head a conference which will draw these experts into concert-ed consultation on the difficul-ties which the area has, or may face. "My desire is to avert the possibility that this proud and long prosperous region may ever become a depressed area, and I think the way to preclude that possibility is to act now,' Mr. King said. Joe Weston Writes President Kennedy On Railroad Use President Kennedy was urged this week to make maximum use of railroads in the moving of heavy equipment and troops for the national defense mobil-ization effort, in a letter from Joseph H. Weston, Utah artist-auth- or and active Democrat. "As an officer concerned di-rectly with troop and materiel movements during World War II, I became acutely aware of the necessary role that our American railroads play in national de-fense," Mr. Weston wrote. "Dur-ing our recent years of peace, the railroads have deteriorated badly, and need immediate and adequate encouragement to be able to rebuild themselves to handle any burden that might in the near future be thrust upon them by the march of world events. "Furthermore, our national highways already are badly crowded with normal traffic," Mr. Weston continued, "and the sudden addition of huge military convoys will greatly increase the danger of traffic fatalities. "Some of the cities of the West, such as Ogden, Utah, were de-veloped for the main purpose of expediting transcontinental railroad traffic, and these cities have suffered great losses be-cause of the slowing of rail trans-portation in the past several years. The use of railroads, wherever practical, will bring new life to such cities as Ogden. "If the President can see his way clear to do so, I respectfully suggest that an executive order be issued to make full use of the railroads unless situations of im-mediate military necessity de-mand motor transportation. Such an order would give active en-couragement to the railroads when they need it, and would help save the highway system for later, more urgent use, if it should ever happen to be neces-sary," Mr. Weston concluded in his letter to the President. Rep. Peterson Plans Talks With Udall Rep. M. Blaine Peterson CD-Ut- ah this week said he plans to discuss multiple use of lands in the proposed Canyon Lands Na-tional Park with Secretary of the Interior Stewart Udall the first week in September. Peterson said he is in favor of the Secretary's basic park pro-posal, but "before final approval I want to assure myself that every provision will be made for the protection of the rights of the individuals in the area." In July, Rep. Peterson wrote to each of the County Commis-sioners in Emery, Grand, San Juan, and Wayne Counties ask-ing them to appoint a committee to recommend the broadest mul-tiple use of lands in the proposed Canyon Lands National Park. The Congressman plans to pre-sent the recommendations of the County Commissioners, as well as individual suggestions, at the September conference with Sec-retary Udall. Peterson pointed out that the question of multiple use is of concern to all Utahns and invited interested individuals to express themselves freely. The Utah Con-gressman contends that there is ample precedent and authority to reserve the right in the Secre-tary of the Interior to allow mul-tiple use in national parks.
