Show SALT LAKE CITY, UTAH-FRID- AY, SEPTEMBER 21, 1962 County Democratic Candidates Intensify Campaign Efforts For Return To Office Utah Democrats this week were studying the results of this month's primary election to find indications of how the vote will go in November. In Salt Lake County efforts were underway to heal a breach 4party solidarity brought on 'a hard fought battle for the two-ye- ar county commission post. Indications were this week that the party is making prog-ress in patching these holes. Most of the Democratic Party's Salt Lake County slate sat out the primary. Now they are step-ping up campaigns which most observers believe will result in re-electi- on in November. All face Republican opponents then. Well into steady campaigns are incumbents Sheriff George W. Beckstead, County Clerk Alvin Keddington, County At-torney Grover A. Giles, County Recorder Mrs. C. L. Jack; Coun-ty Auditor David P. Jones, County Surveyor Roscoe Boden, rjnty Assessor S. Clifford ykayne and County Treas-urer Charles O. Bonner. Rounding out the county slate is Commissioner C. W. (Buck) Brady, who did not face a pri-mary battle in seeking election to the four-ye- ar county commis-sion post, and Marvin Jenson who won the nomination for the two-ye- ar seat in a primary bat-tle with incumbent W. G. Lar-son. In their campaign statements to date the experienced Demo-cratic candidates have said they would run for reelection on their records. They point to responsible ad-ministration and good service to the citizens of Salt Lake County in making their bids for return to office over Republican op-ponents who are largely untried or long out of office. During the next seven weeks they will be appearing at a num-ber of gatherings where they will further develop the theme of service and responsibility office. On the national level Dem-ocratic Senatorial Candidate David S. King has promised a clean and forthright campaign on the issues and has challenged his opponent, Sen. Wallace F. Bennett to do likewise. In the Second District, Demo-cratic Bruce S. Jenkins is well into a high level campaign for victory over Republican Sher-man P. Lloyd for the district's congressional seat. Rep. M. Blaine Peterson, incumbent Democrat and Laurence Burton, Republican are battling in the First District. An analysis of the primary voting gives encouragement to the Democratic ticket although Republicans outpolled Demo-crats on the top offices. In checking the county-by-count- y reports it is seen that the anticipated pull toward the Re-publican side took place at the top of the ticket and that is was strengthened by numerous local contests that pulled in both di-rections. If one assumed that the party division which turned up in the 1960 final election has not un-dergone a drastic change, the primary results in some coun-ties this year showed a cross-over approaching a stampede, one veteran observer noted. Idaho Demo Senator Church To Address Saturday Rally to display the tremendous inter-est and enthusiasm which has been building up within the party. We have arranged for one of the finest speakers in the na-tion, and extend an invitation to citizens from all over the state to attend the rally," Mr. Carl-son said. Senator Church, a former Boise attorney, is seeking reelec-tion for a second term in the Senate. When elected in 1956, he was the youngest senator ever to be sworn in the U.S. Senate. He has served on the Senate Foreign Relations and Interior and Insular Affairs Committee. He was graduated from Stanford University where he received A.B. and LLB. degrees. Prior to his election to the Senate, he served as state chairman of the Idaho Young Democratic Clubs.

(Bill) Larson. C. W. Buck Brady, Wayne Carlson, Ethel Spilsbury, Marv Jenson, Alvin Keddington, Cliff Cock-ayne, Grover Giles, Mrs. C. L.

Sponsored by the Salt Lake County Democratic organiza-tion, the rally will feature a program and free refreshments, according to county chairman, Wayne L. Carlson. "This statewide gathering will give Utah Democrats a chance TODAY'S EDITORIAL v - - . Moss Strikes Back At Bennett on Canyonlands Attack Senator Frank E. Moss (D-Uta- h) Monday struck back at Senator Wallace F. Bennett for the Utah Republican's attack on the Moss bill which would create a Canyonlands National Park in the colorful country of south-eastern Utah. In a Salt Lake City news-paper, Bennett was reported as stating that protection for oil and gas development in the pro-posed park was wholly inade-quate. Moss said: "My bill is based on the fact that the most valu-able dollars and cents use to which Utah and San Juan Coun-ty can put the Canyonlands area is as a tourist attraction. "This evaluation is set forth in the economic report of the Bureau of Business and Eco-nomic Research of the Univer-sity of Utah. "Senator Bennett's demand that the tourist potential of the Canyonlands be subordinated to mining and oil exploration flies in the face of the findings in that report. "My bill provides for some secondary uses in the park area. But it is wholly unrealistic to expect Congress to create a na-tional park in which oil and gas development proceeds under exactly the same regulations in-side the park as outside." Senator Moss noted that the newspaper report contained this sentence: "The Bennett bill would guarantee 'multiple use' of resources in the area, the Utah Republican said." And Moss said: "There is no such bill. Senator Bennett has introduced no bill in Congress to create a national park in the Canyonlands area that mentions multiple use. "Senator Bennett continues to refer to his bill and to insist that he favors a Canyonlands Park while he does everything he can to delay and frustrate the pro-posal. "His true position was made clear earlier this year when, in the Senate, he voted with Sen-ator Tower (R-Texa- s) to recom-mit the bill to create a National Seashore at Padre Island, Texas. "In this case the arguments were just the same. Senator Tower said no one favored crea-tion of the seashore anymore than he did. But he argued that it should be delayed, and his mo-tion would have killed it for this session of Congress. Senator Bennett voted with him to re-commit and kill the bill. "Regardless of what they say, these men do not favor the crea-tion of National Parks and Na-tional Seashores and will fight to delay them as long as they can. iuiiiiiiinmiiiiiiiiiiiiiiuiiiiiiiiiii!iiiiiiiniiiiiMiiiiiininiiiHiiiuiiuiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii I News Preview jThe CIA and West German authorities are quietly inves- - jtigating reports that Red agents inspired the recent anti-U.- S. riots at the Berlin Wall. ...

That com-monm- on occurence sort of disrupts the family economy and makes mother's hair turn grey before it should. American motorists are in much the same fix, believe it or not.

Yet the rec-ords show that, in the five-ye- ar period between 1956 and 1961, more than $1 out of every $12 in state road taxes collected nationwide was spent for things that had noth- - ( Continued on Page Four) |
