JONES The annual statement of Salt Lake County, as reported by Rep. David S. King Announces Plan to Seek Demo Senate Nod ' --yf J ,.? ; ' II " i J ,'-- ' the conviction that" the , times requiremen who can , unite t the nation, not divide it;- - men who can inspire confidence, not de-spair; men who can shows us that America is succeeding, and not failing," Congressman King declared. He voiced particular concern over the special problems of small business. "In this age of growing industrial giantism, the small businessman finds himself squeezed, frequently beyond his capacity to endure; yet healthy flourishing of many small busi-nesses is a requisite to the sur-vival of our American enterprise system. If elected to the United States Senate, I shall continue the struggle I have been waging for three years to create condi-tions more favorable to our small business." The 44 year old son of Utah's late Senator William H. King said his business and professional experience and his two terms in the House of Representatives would be invaluable to him as a senator "to better serve Utah on many fronts." , While serving in the House, Congressman King sponsored and supported legislation to im-prove management labor rela-tions, to promote Utah's great tourist potential, to effect eco-nomics in government, and to strpnethen the nation's defense REP. DAVID S. KING The long-await- ed formal an-nouncement of intention to seek the Democrtaic nomination for the U. S. Senate came this week from Rep. David S. King. Rep. King thus became the third candidate to enter the race for the party's senate nomina-tion. The others are Calvin L. Rampton, Salt Lake attorney and veteran Democrat, and Joseph Weston, Utah author. "This is an era of progress and prosperity," Rep. King said. "It is also an era fraught with prob-lems and perils which threaten against communism. He has also supported legis-lation to assist senior citizens and the unemployed. He worked to stimulate interest in health and youth fitness. His assistance to education during his terms in Congress has earned for him special citations from prominent educational groups. "In the Senate, I would have a still greater opportunity to stimulate progress in all of these areas," he said. "My Congressional experience and the specialized information (Continued on page 8) our very existence," he declared, "Utah deserves the dynamic and imaginative representation in the Senate which is necessary to meet the challenge of the times." "Political courage makes many demands upon a Senator; pri-marily, it demands honest repre-sentation of all the legitimate interests of all the people repre-sented, including those who can be of little or no political bene-fit," he said. "I seek election to the United States Senate not for reasons of personal gain. I am impelled by Moss Will Ask Funds For Utah Facility1 On Watershed Study Senator Frank E. Moss (D-Uta- h) will urge Congress to ap-propriate $900,000 to construct a Watershed Research Labora-tory at Utah State University in Logan. The laboratory would be under the direction of the Forest Serv-ice Intermountain Forest and Range Experiment Station at Ogden, and would study water-shed problems of a number of Western States. During a Senate speech on the need for expanded forestry re-search, Senator John Stennis (D-Mis- s.) Thursday inserted in the Congressional Record a state-ment by Senator Moss urging the Logan facility. The Moss statement follows: First of all, may I commend the distinguished Senator from Mis-sissippi (Mr. Stennis) for his ef-forts to increase Forest Service research activities, and offer him my full support. Nothing is more important than sound resource development of our public do-main, and adequate research is the basis for such development. The Watershed Research Lab-oratory proposed for establish-ment at the Utah State Univer-sity at Logan in northern Utah would facilitate research in wa-tershed management in the high mountain areas of the Intermoun-tain ' West. It would serve not only Utah, but Idaho, Montana, Western Wyoming and Nevada, as a research arm of the U.S. Forest Service Regional Office which is located at Ogden, Utah. The estimated cost of the lab-oratory is $900,000, with $600,-00- 0 needed for the basic struc-ture. I sincerely hope the full amount can be written into the fiscal 1963 year appropriations, and I shall take all proper steps to see that this is done. Water is extremely important in the entire Intermountain area to agriculture, industry and live-stock production. The amount of water produced on high water-sheds, and the timing of the yield all contribute to whether there is enough water in some years, and at certain times in every year, to sustain the industries, animals and individuals depend- - ( Continued on page 8) Total Federal Funds for Schools In Utah Exceeds 6 Million Dollars Total federal funds (including commodities) used by or in be-half of Utah's public elementary and secondary schools amounted to $6,178,896 in the 1960-6- 1 year. This was reported in a study of the federal government's role in funds, plus $1,356,927 in federal school lunch commodities, $1,-252,4- 39 in federal mineral leas-ing receipts, and $98,648 in fed-eral funds used for state admin-istrative purposes. Federal funds accounted for the public schools recently com-pleted by Utah Foundation, the private governmental research organizations. According to the Foundation study, the forty school districts reported receipts of $2,664,879 in federal funds last year. In ad-dition, Utah's schools received $806,003 in federal school lunch less than 3 per cent of regular revenue receipt of public schools (excluding school lunch, etc.) in Utah during the 1960-6- 1 school year, as reported by the forty Utah school districts. Salt Lake School District reported receipt of $4,148 in federal funds last year, which accounted for less than 0.05 per cent of the total revenue receipts of the district. Total revenue receipts of Salt Lake School District in 1960-6- 1 amounted to $15,921,930. The Foundation study indicate that the battle over federal aid to education has been raging for almost a century. All attempts to secure passage of general or massive federal legislation have failed. While there has been federal activity in the field of education, direct responsibility for general public education has remained with state and local governments. The report observes that sup-porters of federal aid to educa-tion base their case on the con-tention that (a) education is a ntaional responsibility, (b) the schools need more money, (c) there are inequalities in oppor-tunity throughout the nation, (d) the federal government has superior taxing powers, and (e) federal taxes are preferable to state or local taxes. Opponents of federal aid, on the other hand, maintain that (Continued on page 4) TODAY'S i EDITORIAL iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii:iiiiiiiiiuiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiuiininiiiiiiiiii!iiiiiiiiiiiiHiiiHi!iii iiiiiiniiinii ( Mews Preview ( 1 The U.S. feels it must step up the pace of Indian indus- - 1 trialization through increased economic aid The National Labor Relations Board is 1 about to play a key role in the 1 Justice Dept. war on the Teamsters' Hoffa. ...
