Dr. Arthur Larson Schedules Talk at Westminster College Coming to Westminster Col-lege next week, under the aus-pices of the Sperry and Hutch-inson visiting lectureship pro-gram will be Dr. Arthur Larson, Director of the World Rule of Law Center at Duke University, and special consultant to the President during th Eisenhower administration. Dr. Larson will lecture in the Robinson Room of Hogle Hall at 8 p.m. Wednesday: His topic will be "World Rule of Law; An Idea whose Time Has Come." One of the more forceful and authoritative speakers on ine lecture platform, Dr. Larson is widely known as a lawyer and educator as well as a former gov-ernment official. His books in-clude "Know Your Social Se-curity," "The Law of Work-men's Compensation," and "A Republican Looks at His Party." The World Rule of Law is based upon the theory that peo-ple living under the shadow of hydrogen warfare may develop the same state of mind as people living on the edge of a volcano, and simply go on cultivating the gardens because they feel there is nothing they can do about that danger. Exponents of this theory state that there is one very prom-ising line of action, however, which has been badly neglected: that of building upon the world uinversal concept of law. High government officials all over the world are enthusiastic over this approach. The problem is how to translate this exciting idea into concrete reality, and make it applicable throughout the world. The Soviets must, of courset, be brought into its or-bit. They already show a marked concern with legality, which, it is felt, gives something on which to build. Dr. Larson feels the ob-ligation of leadership is ours, and "an idea whose time has come" the idea of a world legal order, the rule of law in the world "is more powerful than any army." Sen. Moss Announces Plans to Sponsor Public Lands Bill Senator Frank E. Moss has announced his of a bill to create a Board of Public Lands Appeals in the Depart-ment of the Interior. He said the bill has two pur-poses. 1) To make it unnecessary for those who wish to appeal public land rulings to journey to Wash-ington to be heard. 2) To vest final judgment in public land disputes in the U. S. Court of Appeals rather than in the Secretary of the Interior. Senator Moss said, "Under the present law, a citizen wishing to dispute a ruling of the Bureau of Land Management or Geo-logical Survey may have a hear-ing in Washington if the Secre-tary of the Interior grants him one. The Secretary makes the final decision as to the disposi-tion of the case. "This means in practice that the appellant and his legal coun-sel must travel to Washington and have the case tried by the Department thta made the rul-ing from which he wishes to appeal. "As 75 per cent of Utah's land is federally owned, the actions of the agencies which manage our public lands ' vitally affect many of our citizens. "The bill provides that the new board's decisions must be in accordance with the applicable regulations issued by the Secre-tary of the Interior, but author-izes the Board to call to his at-tention an inequitable, unjust, or unintended application of the law, so that he may have an op- - portunity to amend the regula-tions. "The laws and regulations governing the use and disposi-tion of our public lands should be applied uniformly and equit-ably. I believe the establishment of a Board of Land Appeals and the provision of a court review will accomplish this goal." The bill creates a Board con-sisting of a chairman and two associate members to be appoint-ed by the Secretary of Interior with the approval of President. Appeals from final decisions of the Board would be to the U. S. Court of Appeals for the Circuit in which the land in-volved is situated.
