Show Pga Eight FRIDAY, MAY 25, 1961 THE SALT LAKE TIMES , Sen. Moss Blasts Gov. Clyde For Blocking Monument Growth (Continued from page 1) area," and "it would appear that as of this moment there are no mineral values in the area," but noted, "we did not know there were any mineral values in the Aneth area 10 years ago." Moss said Assistant Secretary of the Interior John A. Carver wrote Chairman Aspinall a reply to the Clyde letter. Carver stated that there were no mineral or oil and gas pro-duction in the lands proposed for addition, and said: "As to the acquisition of the approximately 480 acres of state land, our usual procedure would be exchange pursuant to author- - ifv in Soptinn R nf thp Tnvlor said: "The answer then as to what is holding up action on Natural Bridges Monument is perfectly clear. Governor Clyde has again interjected himself to delay and attempt to block an effort to im-prove our scenic areas which attract additional tourist busi-ness. Using the same type of arguments that he has employed against the Canyonlands National Park Bill, he is preventing the enlargement of the Monument and the improvement by the Fed-eral government, argiving the remote possibility that there might be in the future some min-erals in the land to be trans-ferred. He talks also about the Grazing Act. The acquisition was discussed by a representative of the National Park Service with an official of the Utah State Land Board on March 27, 1961, at which time no objections were raised to such an exchange. ". . . Governor Clyde also raises a question regarding unsurveyed Section 2 in T. 37 S., E. 17 E., which would normally be con-veyed to the state as a school section upon survey. Since prac-tically all of this section is with-in the existing boundaries of the Monument, the state will have the right to select another section of Federal land in lieu of this section." Concluding his letter to Com-missioner Black, Senator Moss state land involved, although he well knows that under the pres-ent law this land would be ex-changed for comparable Federal lands to be selected by the state. "It is my recommendation that the County Commission and the citizens of San Juan County make it very clear to Governor Clyde that they desire the en-largement and improvement of Natural Bridges National Monu-ment and that they resent his efforts to defeat and to delay the proposed action. I am personally appalled at the narrow and short-sighted attitude of the Governor. His actions make it extremely difficult to get done for Utah the things which our people want and need." which would lead to totalitarian-ism. Bitterly opposed extension of Social Security benefits to the permanently and totally disabled as "a serious threat to American medicine." Was vehement in its oppo-sition to the elimination of the means test in the crippled chil-dren's program. Tried to stop grants for ma-ternal and child welfare pro-grams aimed to reduce the death rate among mothers and children with the charge that the program was "unsound policy, wasteful, extravagant, unproductive of re-sults, tending to promote com-munism." The National Council added that the AMA once did every-thing it could to oppose volun-tary health insurance and there were even medical societies which opposed the Red Cross blood bank on the grounds that "the allotment of blood and its products by the American Red Cross should ultimately lead to the effect of having the Red Cross practice medicine." Senior Citizens Attack AMA For Medicare Stand (Continued from page 1) ; grants or loans for hospital and nursing home construction and for medical research in pri-- l vate institutions. "The AMA has found that the . use of Federal funds for these purposes has in no way resulted in government interference with ; the medical profession or in gov-ernment control of medicine," says the National Council. "Phy-sicians and hospitals are free to practice as they always have been in the past. "Yet the AMA is waging a campaign against President Ken-nedy's plan for health insurance for the aged through Social Sec-urity a plan that, although government - administered, is self-financ- ed by the people, and offers the best solution to a prob-lem that has become widespread in our country today." Documenting the AMA's long history of illogical opposition to government programs advanc-ing social welfare, the pamphlet says the AMA: Denounced Social Security as "a compulsory socialistic tax" Among books recorded re-cently for America's estimated 350,000 blind persons as a Talk-ing Book is the best seller "Dr. Zhivago."

House Dates Hearing May 28 on the Canyonlands Bill Rep. David S. King said Wed-nesday that the House will start hearings May 28 on his bill to establish the Canyonlands Na-tional Park. Rep. J. T. Rutherford, chair-man of the National Parks sub-committee, advised Mr. King that the subcommittee will hear de-partmental witnesses on the King bill at 2:30 p.m. May 28. Mr. King said that Congress-man Rutherford reaffirmed his intention to take the subcom-mittee on an aerial inspection tour of the Canyonlands area at the earliest opportunity. Dates will be fixed later for the inspection tour and the addi-tional hearings. "The purpose of the May 28 hearing is to get the testimony of Interior Department experts, so that subcommittee members will have a broad knowledge of the park proposal when they in-spect the area," Mr. King said. Although Mr.- - King and the departmental officials will be the only witnesses heard May 28, the Committee will welcome written statements from other interested persons and organizations. Oral testimony from other sources will be received in the later hearings. Congressman King said he will ask the committee to amend the King bill so that it will contain amendments which Senator Frank E. Moss has made in his companion measure in the Sen-ate, on which hearings already have been held. The hearings will take up the amended bill. his religion is the key to the man. If he does something unusual, you can be pretty sure he's just doing what the Book of Mormon says," the article states. Commenting on the Romney family, Alsop describes Mrs. Romney as a woman of great charm, and, like the four attrac-tive Romney children, she cer-tainly will be a major political asset. Writer Sees Romney As Choice of GOP "George Romney, prophet of the compact car, Mormon church leader and Republican candidate for governor of Michigan, is a most unusual politician. He is more than that. He is about as remarkable a political phenom-enon as has appeared on the American scene in a couple of decades," observes Stewart Al-sop, national afafirs editor of THE SATURDAY EVENING POST. Alsop gives his analysis of Romney's political future in the May 26th issue of the POST. "My guess is that, if George Romney is elected Governor of Michigan and no new face suddenly emerges to fill the Republican vacuum, the odds actually favor his getting the Republican presi-dential nomination say, six to five." Considerable comment is given in the article to Romney's Mor-mon background. At the age of five, he and his parents left Mexico with Mormon settlers who were chased out by Pancho Villa. Thereafter, he grew up in Idaho and Utah. In 1927, at age twenty, he went to England and Scotland to spend two years preaching his Mormon faith. "The more you see of George Romney, the more you realize Rep. King Promises to Support Medicare With Vote This Year Rep. David S. King said Thurs-day he has made up his mind that he "definitely will support hos-pital care for the aged through social security if it comes to a vote in the House this year." "Intensive study has convinced me," Congressman King said, "that this is the conservative ap-proach to a serious national need. "If we handle hospital care for the senior citizen through social security, we move in the direc-tion of making it self-sustainin- g, so that it ceases to be an ever- - only their own savings but those of their sons and daughters, and in so doing, rob their grandchil-dren of educational opportuni-ties. "Financed through the social security method, this care would draw about 25 cents a week from th'e average Utahn's paycheck, and it would protect each of us against the possibility of seeing the savings of a lifetime wiped out by illness after retirement," Mr. King said. expanding dole from the federal and state treasuries. "I have carefully examined the arguments against this pro-posed program, and I find that most of them brand it as some-thing which it is not. "It is not socialized medicine. "Using the social security sys-tem to meet the hospital care need of senior citizens will in fact, I believe, do more to keep American medicine from drifting into the British pattern than any other single move we could make," Congressman King de-clared. "Some of the attacks hurled at this proposed program leave the idea that it would cover doc-tors and doctor bills. It definitely would not. "It would cover only hospital bills and would cover them only under certain limitations, for persons 65 and over. "What Americans must recog-nize is that countless retired citi-zens do not now seek care of serious illnesses simply because they fear the high cost of it. "They do not want to be ob-jects of charity. Moreover, they fear that this care will wipe out their assets and leave them paupers," Congressman King as-serted. "But. above all else, they fear that they will be a burden upon their families that their hos-pital care ' would wipe out not 6 Year old Sour Mash Straight Bourbon, 86 Proof.
