Show y S1 PESigaiCAL Division ' i r DlZ u:;ivm of tggy SALT LAKE CITY, UTAH FRIDAY, JANUARY 26, 1962 Rep. King Offers to Help Bennett If GOP Solon Gets Space Post Rep. David S. King said Mon-day that he would be happy to give Utah's senior senator, Sen. Wallace F. Bennett, some infor-mation and advice on space mat-ters, in the event that the senator succeeds in getting a seat on the Senate Space committee. Congressman King, a member of the House space committee since it was formed three years ago, said, "I am glad the senior senator now appreciates the im-portance of space and missile work to our state." activities were going to become Utah's biggest industry. They now are, by a substantial margin, Utah's biggest industry. Within a decade, they could become the nation's biggest industry," Mr. King siad. The rapid growth of this indus-try has affirmed the wisdom of my committee choice, and I have been able to render important services to my state through my work with the space commit-tee. "Since I am a pioneer member of this committee, I would be happy to share my experience and knowledge with my Utah colleague, Senator Bennett, should he succeed in promoting Reports on Capitol win indi-cate that Senator Bennett is try-ing to get a seat on the Senate space committee, and would give up his place on the Joint Com-mittee on Atomic Energy to get it. A minority vacancy is now open on the Senate space com-mittee. "I went all out to get my seat on the House space committee three years ago because I could see then that missile and space a seat for himself with our coun-terpart in the Senate," Mr. King said. Congressman King is an orig-inal member of the House space committee, which has been the first standing committee added to the House in this century. Demo Chairman Sees Passage Of Medical Aid to Aged Bill like to see in Congress. "I don't think I have to trans-late that message for you," Bai-ley said. "I don't think I have to ask you whether the type of men you would like to see elected are the type of men they would like to see elected. "They want the type of man who is for 'right-to-wor- k' and is against good housing, against aid to education, against the min-imum wage, against relief for de-pressed areas, against medical care for the aged under Social Security, and so on and on. "And the only way they are going to get a majority of such backward-thinkin- g men in the Congress is to elect more Re-publicans and I can assure you that this fact has not escaped big business." Bailey noted that the labor movement has had to educate the public in order to win the sup-port of public opinion and in order to increase its gains. The same is true in the realm of polit- - Chairman JohnM. Bailey of the Democratic National Com- - mittee told leaders of the Ma- - chinists Non-Partis- an Political League today that he believed the Congress will pass a bill this year for medical aid for the elderly under Social Security. If not, he said, neither he nor President Kennedy will stop fighting for such a bill. He urged the people of the country to make their wishes known to their Con-gressmen. Speaking before the labor group's National Planning Com-mittee in Washington, the Demo-cratic Chairman chided the lead-ership of the Republican Party for renewed Republican activity on behalf of what he termed "un-just, unfair and mis-nam- ed 'right-to-wor- k' laws." Bailey noted that only yester-day, he called upon the Republi-can leadership to clarify the Party's position on "right-to-work- ." "It will be interesting to see ical advancement, he said, and public opinion has changed as the voters have become better educated. "We . . . have a Federal pro-gram of medical care for the aged which is proving inade-quate," he said. "And as the public becomes better educated to its inadequacy, support is growing for President Kennedy's plan for medical care for the aged under Social Security. "I think we are going to get a vote, and if we do, we will pass that bill at this session of the Congress. But if we don't, I am not going to give up, and neither is President Kennedy! We will keep on educating the voters on that program. And the more peo-ple know about it, the more people will want it. And when they want it enough, and make their views known by their words and by their votes, the Congress will provide it for them. "The Congress which provides it may not have the same mem-bership as the Congress which turned it down, but the people are going to get a decent pro-gram of medical care for the aged unless you or I give up and quit fighting." what nappens, ne saia. i sus-pect the Republican statement will not be too clear. It's hard to write a ringing statement which says 'We are for these restrictive laws, and we want the vote of the right-winge- rs who support such laws, but we don't want to say so publicly, because we don't want to take lickings like right-to-wor- k brought us in Ohio and California in 1958.' And if you want to know, I think that is exactly what the Republican position is on that issue." The Democratic leader com-mented that the Republican Party does not appear to think labor should be in politics at all. "The Republican lack of en-thusiasm for political activity by organized labor is about equal to its enthusiasm for political activity by big business," he said. "And make no mistake about it, big business is more and more activ in politics." Bailey quoted the November 17 issue of the Washington Re-port of the U.S. Chamber of Com-merce as telling its readers that the legislators chosen m 196 will have a lot to say about the economic conditions under which they, the readers, will operate their businesses, urging its read-ers to see to it that the men elected are the type they would Moss Asks President To Halt Agreements On Beryl Barter Senator Frank E. Moss CD-Uta- h) Monday urged President eKnnedy to plan no future barter agreements for beryl until full use is made of the developing domestic supply. Noting that an agreement has just been made to barter some $8.7 million of U.S. surplus wheat, tobacco and feed grains for an equal amount of beryl ore, and that the announcement was accompanied by the state-ment that there are no native supplies available, Moss wrote the President: "I feel I must call to your at-tention the fact that large de-posits of beryllium bearing and disseminated clay have been located in southwest Utah and Nevada and are being developed by the United Technical In-dustries. Also, the Anaconda Copper Company has expended over $300,000 in the State of Utah to date in exploration work in connection with this mineral and plans to spend considerably more. "After more, than sixteen months of laboratory work and pilot work operations, the United Technical Industries has devel-oped and perfected a proprietary process for producing beryllium oxide in commercial quantities from the domestic ore and this event was celebrated in Utah and in Washington last July 27. "In view of the fact that wc are making such progress in the domestic supply of beryllium, I sincerely hope that the Admini-stration will not plan future large barter agreements on beryl, but will plan to make use of native supplies the moment the methods to develop them are effective on a commercial scale. Since beryl-lium is a space-ag- e metal and essential for missile nose cones, I realize the importance of hav-ing adequate supplies on hand, but I also feel that domestic as well as foreign sources must be given full consideration when additional ore is needed." TODAY'S "A, EDITORIAL - Medicine's Challenge in Military Fitness Campaign Almost unnoticed in its weekly volume of reports is a U.S. Department of Health, Education, and Welfare announcement that beginning this year public health workers will be stationed at Army examination stations to help put rejectees into shape. No medical practitioners assisting? "Whenever possible, says HEW, "referral will be made to the man's private physi-cian." Otherwise, "community health resources will be given the opportunity to render treatment." While the goal appears praiseworthy, its path could be hazardous. Public health officers, already overburdened with broad responsibilities in communicable disease control and en-vironmental medicine, would be obliged to judge significant variances of individual well-bein- g a task, in most instances, not within their normal professional practice. The more appro-priate skills of private physicans would be lost to those military rejectees who are led to believe that government offers of medical help are more expedient. Most ominously because today there are 1,250,000 draft registrants in substandard health (with new disqualifications for health reasons being added at the rate of 50,000 yearly) t the stage is set for an assembly line medicine which could resolve only the inductee's immediate medical problem. Here is a challenge for the profession to help our rising generation reach a fullness of fitness that is possible only through the long run surveillance of a personal doctor. It is a golden opportunity for private practitioners to tell draft boards and (Continued on Page Four) Dr. Lees to Address DUP Meeting on S.L Theatre Replica North Salt Lake County Com-pany of Daughters of Utah Pio-neers will meet Monday at 1:30 t).m. at the DUP Pioneer Memo-rial Bldg. to hear Dr. C.
