Such reductions would be clearly ' unwarranted until the economy is in feigner 'gear and making steady annual gains and employment is up again," he said. v ' ! " King Opposes Cuts In U.S Tariffs Rep. David S. King has joined 40 colleagues in offering a reso-lution which opposes any moves by American representatives to the international trade confer-ence in Geneva to make further reductions in U.S. tariffs over the next 18 months. "While I wholeheartedly sup-port the reciprocal trades prin-ciple," Congressman King as-serted, "I am convinced that un-til our economy shows a marked improvement, we cannot riskj further injury to our domestic industries and labor force." This resolution, he said, ex-- ! presses the sense of the House in opposition to tariff cuts of as much as 20 per cent which thei reciprocal trades act of 1958 authorized U.S. trade conference negotiators to make during the four-yea- r term of the act. "The effect of the resolution would end, of course, when the act itself expires next year," Mr. King observed. "The economy has suffered some serious setbacks since 1958, the picture on imports and exports has changed appreciably since that act was passed," he said. "The competition from foreign products has increased sharply in many American markets, and many American industries have suffered serious injury from this competition because the escape clause in the law has not given them the protection it was meant to give them. "The escape clause has pro-duced Tariff Commission find-ings of serious injury to some 90 American industries, but the last administration invoked re-medies to protect these industries in only a dozen cases," the con-gressman said. For example, he said, the lead-zin- c mining industry has twice received unanimous Tariff Com-mission findings of serious in-jury, but has never received ad-ministration relief which the es- - AUTO WASH TURN KEY INSTALLATION .

CJ7AI1 MINING ASSOCIATION "From the earth tomes an abundant life for all" Fish-Gam- e Board Studies Drought The present drought condition and low water level were dis-cussed at length during a recent meeting of Utah's Fish and Game Commission. Decision of the five man policy making board was to watch closely the conditions in several impoundments which are now at dangerously low levels with a view to opening such waters at an earlier date than the sched-uled June 3 opening of the gen-eral angling season should this present critical water condition continue during the next several weeks. Other actions taken by the; Commissioners included: Agreed to purchase of gravel for resurfacing of roads and dikes at Ogden Bay. Approxi-mate cost to be $6000. Approved construction of stor-age building and garage at the SDringville Game Farm at cost of $6500. Approved development of the waterfowl marsh, Timpe Springs in Tooele County, involving 500 acres of marsh. Agreed to negotiations with town of Glenwood pertaining to long term lease of lands at the Glenwood Hatchery. Approved rewiring of electri-cal circuits at department head-quarters building. Approved agreement with So. Davis County sewer district to allow construction of an emer-gency settling pond on depart-ment lands. By law, the commission acts as policy making body for the de-partment of fish and game. Each member represents one of the 5 fish and game districts of Utah. State Health Dept. Warns Against Death by Heater The young man was found dead in a trailer about 11 o'clock one morning. He had returned from a trip the previous evening and was last seen alive about 11:30 p.m. The night was chilly and he apparently had retired with all windows closed. The manually operated, liquified petroleum gas heater was oper-ating at its full 8.000 BTU capa-city. The medical officer found a high saturation of carbon mon-oxide in the victim's blood. He had died of carbon monoxide poisoning. This case happened in Mary-land and the man was killed by a "koolwall" gas heater designed and approved for use in homes but not suitable for trailers. But more than 60 units were in-stalled in "MIDWAY" trailers: and until efforts by health authorities result in locating and warning the owners, at least 59 lives are in great danger. Last vear. at least seventeen trailer deaths resulted from the use of "THURM" bottled gas heaters in various parts of the country. Two thousand of these heaters were installed in 82 makes of travel trailers. About 40 of the "THURM" units were shipped to Utah and the State Denartment of Health and local authorities tracked down most of the owners and urged modifi-cation of the units to render them safe. A few over-the-count- er cash sales could not be traced, and the owners of these remained in dancer. It is understood that the manufacturers of the heaters coorerated in the recall and re-modeling of the offending ones, and later models were no doubt improved. "All fuel burning space heat-ers, whether in trailers, motels or homes are potentially danger-ous.', warned Dr. James D. Whar-ton, M.D.. Interim Director of the State Department of Health, "but are specially so when used in restricted space such as trail- - ers which are weather-strippe- d and have closed windows." "Carbon monoxide is one of the most insidious of poisons," according to Dr. Wharton. "It is odorless and tasteless, and is con-ducive of sleep, making the vic-tim drowsy and insensible to danger." Every person using combustio-n- type space heaters, regard-less of make or certification of safety, should satisfy himself that all these conditions are pres-ent in the trailer or house and the heater: 1. Plenty of fresh air, from outside. 2. A vent (stove pipe) at least three inches in diameter, from the heater out through the roof rather than through the side of the trailer. 3. Adequate air supply to the heater to insure complete fuel combustion. A hole in the floor close to the heater, the same size as the ceiling vent, is sufficient. 4. Opening or holes in the heater combustion chamber, preferably front and back to per-mit the ready access of air. 5. If the heater is gas-operat- ed, be sure there is an automatic shut-of- f valve to prevent the gas ..from escaping if the burner goes out. 6. Don't take a chance: all flames are potentially dangerous. If in doubt, call in a qualified heating expert. US. SAVINGS I BONDS I SOLD HERE |
