The Salt Lake City Commis-sion this week rescinded an earlier approval of a 15th North site for a proposed sewage treat-ment plant in the face of vigor-ous opposition from Rose Park area residents. The commission agreed to locate the plant further north, preferably in Salt Lake County. Richard Kennedy, of the Ken-nedy Engineering firm which has done all preliminary engineer-ing, was instructed to work out alternate plans to fit the new location. Ramon Child, Salt Lake City, has announced he would seek the Republican State Chairman-ship at the party's forthcoming state organization convention. Salt Lake City commission this week heard arguments for and against licensing of 24 taxicabs to three brothers who plan to operate the City Cab Co. The matter was taken under advise-ment. Calvin L. Rampton, attorney for the three brothers, Donald, Arthur and Clarence Jackson, said he would like to see his clients given a chance in the. venture. Also seeking additional li-censes were Yellow, Ute ' and Orange Checker Cabs. Rep. David S. King (D-Uta- h) Tuesday said he was "very pleased" with the outcome of the Canyonlands Parks hearings after the concluding session in Salt Lake City Monday. . "I am particularly pleased that the testimonies ran better than four to one in favor of the Moss bill," he said. "I believe a fair cross-sectio- n of opinion throughout the state was represented. These hearings were open hearings, and all who were interested were given an opportunity to make statements," he added. Activity on the sage grouse dancing grounds throughout the State is rapidly reaching its peak, as department of fish and game personnel put finishing touches on population surveys of this popular game bird. The survey data, together with brood counts to be conducted in July, will serve as the biological basis upon which the coming season will be based. Mature males have been "booming" since early in Febru-ary; however, the younger, im-mature males and the hens have not been present on the breed-ing grounds until recently. Spas-modic dancing may continue well into the summer,' department spokesmen said, but will taper off rapidly after the middle of. May.

Army Engineers Promise Aid If Duchesne Floods Rep. David S. King Tuesday received a promise of "complete cooperation" from the Army Corps of Engineers in controll-ing the potentially-dangerou- s Duchesne River in the event of predicted late spring floods. Mr. King contacted the regional Army Corps of Engi-neers office in San Francisco, after local residents expressed alarm over possible flood condi-tions predicted to occur within four weeks. The Congressman was visiting Duchesne County during an Easter-wee- k recess of the Congress. "Officials in the San Francisco office have assured me they will keep the Duchesne River under very close surveillance, and that they will take daily readings of conditions. At the first indication of flood or near-floo- d conditions, the Corps of Engineers will move immediately to bank the river," he said. The Congressman also investi-gated the, problem of adequate access roads from Roosevelt, Utah to the nearby Uintah Moun-tains. Such roads would cross several Indian reservations. He cited "red-tape- " and lack of communication as the prin-cipal causes for lack of proper access roads, and called for great cooperation between the parties involved.

Zucker, Professor of English, University of Utah. The second day of the confer-ence will be given to discussion of local problems and potential Root Out the Modern Know Nothings (Continued from Page One) world. They are basically believers in the old "survival of the fittest" approach to social and economic problems. They believe in the Fortress America approach on the international scene, and from the ideas of these groups on federal tax policy, one might assume that they conceive of Fortress America as a series of log stockades, Old Frontier style. For they advocate repeal of all personal income taxes even though they produce 55 per cent of our federal revenue and 57 per cent of our proposed budget expenditures are for national defense. The basic philosophy of this group of 20th Century Know Nothings was stated in a few words last May on the "Meet the Press" television program of Robert Welch, national leader of the real John Birch Society. He said: "The worst of all forms of government is a democ-racy." Mr. Welch likes to equate "democracy" with what he calls "mobocracy." What does this mean? It means this movement is based upon a fear of people. It is based upon a fear of the rank and file, of the common man, of the majority, of the run of the mill American. It is an anti-peop- le movement. Last year we saw the spectable of the anti-peop- le program of "welfare a la Newburg" which was launched in the city of Newburg, New York. Newburg's rules were enacted by a Republican City Council with a strong dissent from the Democratic Mayor. It is highly significant that, after Newburg, New York announced its 13 point program on handling of relief cases, Senator Barry Goldwater met with New-burg's Republican appointed city manager and said that he would like to see Newburg's welfare program adopted by every city in the country. At that time Senator Goldwater said he had no res-ervations about any aspect of the 13 point code although serious questions were being raised about its legality. Several months passed. A New York State Supreme Court decision invalidated 12 of the 13 points in the controversial Newburg code. The Kennedy administration is vitally concerned with preventing frauds and abuses in welfare programs and in helping the needy to become self supporting. Leg-islationh- as been introduced to improve the nation's wel-fare system. These are humane and realistic proposals. They have nothing in common with the meat ax approach of Newburgh. groups 39 per cent of the businessmen and 32 per cent of the labor leaders felt their own business or union probably would be hurt by lower tariff's, compared to 28 per cent of the businessmen and 18 per cent of the union men who thought they would be helped. In spite of this substantial fear, an overwhelming majority of both groups 67 per cent of the businessmen and 71 per cent of the union men are in favor of cutting tariffs and in favor of the bill .itself. The total returns on the questionnaire were small: of the businessmen polled only 27 per cent responded, and only 21 per cent of the labor leaders. But, adds Mr. Roper, "this low response makes the affirmative vote for the proposals even more remarkable, because people who are against something are usually more eager to express their views than those who are for it." Here is one subject, then, on which business and labor alike are capable of sensing the national interest and supporting it unselfishly. Let's hope the example proves catching. ... Reprinted from Life Magazine. Being Right When It Hurts One of the oldest question marks about democracy is whether the average man is capable of a disinterested vote. "Business" and "labor," it is widely assumed, are parochial pressure groups asking not what they can do , for their country but "what's in it for us." There being evidence enough for this assumption, it is a pleasure to report a striking example of the opposite. Pollster Elmo Roper made a survey of the execu-tives of all big labor unions and a sample of the 500 largest corporations on their attitude toward President Kennedy's tariff cutting program.
