MARCH 10. 1961 Summer Employment Boost Looms Two Utah Building Jobs neighborhod of $10 million, and expressed in terms of the jobs this purchase will provide for' the community where' the low, bid manufacturer is located, it would offer as many as 1,500 man-yea- rs of work. "This will keep up to 1500 skilled men busy for a full year, or as many as 500 skilled men busy three years, depending on how long it takes to build the generators," Mr. King said. j Employment on the Glen Can-yon and Flaming Gorge Dams will climb this spring and sum-mer to levels which probably will be the "high water marks" for both projects. These assurances were given Rep. David S. King by Reclama-tion Commissioner Floyd Domi-n- y late Monday, when the con-gressman personally urged the reclamation chief to step up the projects to help blunt unemploy-ment in the Intermountain Re gion. , The commissioner also urged the congressman that the funds still available from the current appropriations are ample to aid both projects on "peak employ--, ment schedules" until the next fiscal year appropriation is made. The construction at Glen Can-yo- n, already the largest since the project began, will climb to ap-proximately 2,500 men by sum-mer, Mr. Dominy told Congress-man King. This will represent an increase of some 300 men over the present force, which is now pouring concrete in shifts around the clocki At Flaming Gorge the labor force could increase by 700 be-fore i it hits the seasonal peak a peak which the project is ex-pece- td to reach again in the sum-mer of 1962, too. The contractors can keep only skeleton crews presently 150 to 200 men at work in Flaming Gorge through the severe Uinta mounntain winters. This force is expected to approach 900 men at the seasonal peak. The congressman was also in-formed that bureau engineers are working overtime in both the Denver and Salt Lake offices to speed the purchases of heavy equipment for the Upper Colo-rado projects purchases which can help stabilize employment in manufacturing centers where the equipment is made. The chief engineer's office at Denver is now ready to call for bids on the big generators for the Glen; Canyon power plant. The generators will cost in the Must File Return To Get Refund Refund payments of Federal income taxes withheld from' wages are paid only upon the filing of a proper Federal income tax return, District Director Roland V. Wise of the Internal Revenue Service today reminded Utah taxpayers. "While everyone whose income was $600 or more during 1960 must file a return ($1,200 for those 65 and over)," Mr. Wise stressed, "we find frequent cases of people apparently believing ithat because their tax withheld was greater than their tax owed, they will automatically get a proper refund. , "Somewhat the same belief is held by students or other young people who worked during a por-tion of the year and whose taxes were withheld from their sala-ries or wages. To get a refund, they, too, must file a return, even if such income was under $600." "For all filers," Mr. Wise said, "the filing deadline this year is Monday, April 17, because April 15 falls on a Saturday; but those taxpayers entitled to a re-fund would do well to file as soon as possible.

Henderson, Salt Lake attorney, speaking at the monthly meeting of the Salt Lake Council of Women, said the principle of national origin, the basis of our immigration system, its fairness and unfairness, has been and still is the subject of ; controversy political and other wise ever since its adoption after World War I. The national origin system un-der our immigration laws pre- - I serves the ethnic composition of the United States as it was near the turn of the century in 1920, said Mr. Henderson. Every na-tional group is permitted the same percent of immigrants as that national group had con-tributed to the population of the United States as of 1920. The United States immigra-tion policy has always been ex-tremely sensitive to the possible impact of immigration on our American ecoonmy. The first laws quantitatively limiting im-migration by the quota system were the outgrowth of conditions following World War I, where masses of people from war-tor- n Europe were ready to storm the American shore.
