King Announces Plan to Seek Demo Senate Nod (Continued from page 1) I have gathered through my in-tensive committee work enable me to serve Utah in many ways. For example, space research and development work holds a great potential for peacetime progress and because of my background and experience in this area, I am in a unique position to protect the future of this rapidly grow-ing industry in Utah. "I would represent Utah vig-orously and effectively in the Senate because I work in har-mony with the present adminis-tration not against it. Because of the influence I have acquired through constructive effort, I have been able to get things done for Utah. Utahns are in-vited to compare the barren per-formance of the chronic com-plaine- rs with the record of solid achievement which my construc-tive effort has produced. "Many avenues are open to me which are not open to a nega-tive and dissenting minority in the Senate." Congressman King said he had given reclamation "unwavering support." "I have lead the House fight which reversed the 'no new mission, is an obstructionist. The term is his own, and he uses it seemingly with a sense of pride. There is always the implication in his chronic negativism that the great creative thinkers of the generation, many of whom are members of his own party, are our enemies. Negativism will not solve the crushing problems of war and peace. I am dedicated to positivism to constructive approach which will produce solutions, rather than confusion. The Congressman said he is often asked whether he is con-servative or progressive. "I feel I am both. Every understanding American is both conservative and progressive. We look to the past to conserve our great prin-ciples, and to the future to adapt these priciples to the inevitable changes which the futre brings. "During my years in Congress I have had two objectives: to preserve the free enterprise sys-tem with its healthy competition and to keep the American gov-ernment abreast of today's dy-namic changes. I am convinced that in these two objectives lies our hope of keeping America the greatest nation on earth." ! starts' policy of the last admin-istration on reclamation. As a sponsor of the Canyonlands Na-tional Park bill, I am convinced this park can give southern Utah economy the biggest boost it has had in this century," he said. Mr. King quoted Secretary of the Interior Sewart L. Udall as saying that many governors would come begging on their hands and knees if they thought ' it would bring their state a na-tional park, whereas some short sighted Utah leaders, in contrast have consistently obstructed the establishment of one in Utah. "Utah feels the negative in-fluence of Senator Wallace F. Bennett on this and other issues. Senator Bennett offers many bills purportedly to benefit Utah but consistently votes against comparable bills for other states. His obstructionist tactics breed ill will and therefore serve, in the long run, to thwart the very programs which he supports. "Mr. Bennett, by his own ad- - Mr. Jtung was a &ait j.aKe at-torney before he was elected to the House. He is a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter day Saints and served almost nine years in the General Super-intenden- cy of the Young Men's Mutal Improvement Association. He served an LDS mission to Great Britain. A Phi Betta Kappa graduate of the University of Utah, he earned a law degree at George-town University in Washington, D.C. At Georgetown he won the Law Club Award, awarded an-nually to the champion of the moot court trials. He practiced law for 14 years in Salt Lake City, and served as director in several companies. Mr. King served approximate-ly seven years on the Executive Council of Region 12, Boy Scouts of America. He was also member of the Board of Directors of the Scouts Great Salt Lake Council. He and Mrs. King have six sons and two daughters. Calvin L. Rampton Strikes at Outside Pressure in Senate Race Calvin L. Rampton, candidate for the Democratic nomination for United States Sentor, Wed-nesday night struck out at at-tempts to bring outside pressure to bear in the U. S. Senate elec-tion in the state of Utah. Speaking before the Women's . Democratic Study Group of the 12th Legislative District, Mr. Rampton said, "I don't care why Secretary Udall and Postmaster General Day favor for the posi-tion of United States Senator from Utah. They can't vote here. Neither am I impressed with the opinions of Doris Fleeson or Drew Pearson as to who will be the Democratic nominee for U. S. Senator. Any one of the 1100 Democratic voting district chair-men in the state of Utah knows more about Utah politics than does either of these Washington columnists, who collectively did not spend a dozen days in the state of Utah in their lifetimes.' Mr. Rampton asserted that he believed that Democrats in the state of Utah would resent any pressure from outside the state which might be designed to in-fluence the outcome of the Demo-cratic primary. "Without doubt, great powers have been concen-trated in Washington. However, the right to vote is a right which we still managed to keep at home," he concluded. Moss Will Ask Funds For Utah Facility On Watershed Study (Continued from page 1) ing on that water. The proper management of wildlife, timber growing and grazing are all part of the problem. The uncertain water supply situation of the Intermountain area is at least partly due to unsatisfactory soil and vegeta-tive cover conditions on many of the forest and range water-sheds. There have been some serious and destructive floods in the Great Basin area in Utah. Almost all of these floods have been traced to heavy rainstorms falling on watershed areas hav-ing poor vegetation cover and subject to much soil erosion. These are unusual and difficult soil areas, where growing vege-tation requires special attention; yet they are critical areas to con-trol excess runoff and erosion and flooding. The Logan laboratory will facilitate the study of soils, their erodibility, and their suitability for growing vegetation for re-habilitating the unsatisfactory watersheds. It will also help to develop types of vegetation suit-able to such harsh conditions for establishment and growth. The hydraulic behavior of water in steep mountain streams will also be a subject for study at the laboratory. These stream channels are unstable for the most part, and every spring when the snow is melting and in the summer when heavy storms strike, large quantities of soil and rock are carried into the storage reservoirs and irrigation systems. It is costly and time consuming to clean this material from the storage areas and ditches in the valleys. The laboratory will permit studies with models of how water behaves in stream channels of this kind and the types of small structures and other streambank improvements that may be help-ful in stabilizing mountain stream channels. In this regard, this facility will serve a large part of the steep mountain areas of the Western United States. In conclusion, I again reiter-ate my support of the Senator from Mississippi in his efforts to increase construction funds in the fiscal year 1963 budget for Forest Service Research facili-ties, and especially for the con-struction of a Forest Watershed Management Laboratory in Utah. $1.2 Million Payment Made to Utah For Mineral Leasing A check for $1,239,719.09 was presented Wednesday to Gov. George D. Clyde by Walter H. Koch, Acting State Director for Utah, U. S. Bureau of Land Man-agement. This was the semi-annu- al pay-ment by BLM to Utah represent-ing the state's share of revenues received from mineral leasing on BLM lands in Utah during the last six months of 1961. BLM pays to the state 37 per cent of revenues from mineral leases on federal lands, under provisions of the Mineral Leasing Acts of 1920. Utah was one of 23 states which are receiving U. S. Treasury checks totaling $18,148,152.89 as their share of $45,206,091.60 in bonuses, royalties and rentals from mineral leasing on federal lands within their boundaries in the last six months of 1961, ac-cording to an announcement in Washington by Secretary of the Interior Stewart L. Udall. The July 31, 1961 distribution brought to $39,073,-28- 6 the total payments made to the states from receipts received during calendar year 1961. Lands leased under adminis-tration of the Bureau of Land Management include public land and certain privately owned land containing minerals reserved to the federal government. Minerals leased under the Mineral Leasing Act of 1920, which provides for the receipts distribution are oil, gas, potash, sodium, coal and phosphate. The state of Utah received the sixth largest amount of the 23 states. The largest was $6,283,387 to Wyoming, followed by New Mexico, $4,561,774; Alaska, $2,-050,0- Colorado, $1,459,453; California, $1,266,630, and Utah $1,239,718. The amount distributed to Utah for the first half of 1961 was $1,618,590 and the amount for the last half of 1960 (which would be the comparable period a year ago as that covered for Wednesday's check) was $1,248-423.4- 0. Some Expenses May Be Tax Deductible Some expenses paid or incur-red as an employee for the per-formance of the taxpayer's regu-lar work are deductible on 1961 federal income tax returns, said Roland V. Wise, director of in-ternal Revenue for the Salt Lake City District this week. He cautioned, however, that if a taxpayer deducts the expenses he must also include all of the reimbursements and other al-lowances received from or that are charged to the employer, as additional income. Since special rules cover re-porting of employee business ex-penses on federal income tax returns and since we customarily pay special attention to verifica-tion of these deductions, taxpay-ers who have questions on the subject may want to get the de-tailed informational Document, No. 5014, "Employee Expenses." by calling DA 11, Mr. Wise said. If you have any other question about your federal income tax return, telephone your local In-ternal Revenue office at Salt Lake City. The carrot is considered an excellent foodstuff, and perhaps it has seen service above and beyond the call of vegetable duty. In World War II, a rumor started that our night fliers im-proved their vision by eating lots of carrots, and drinking big amounts of carrot juice.

Scientists in Norway and Sweden have found skis 4000 years old. As early as 1200 A.D. Swedish soldiers were using skis in winter campaigns. Skiing be-came a popular sport in the 19th century.
