Show BURTON IN COUNTY ON CAMPAIGN TRAIL; Rep. Laurence J. Burton, Republican Re-publican candidate for re-election to the U S House of Representatives, Rep-resentatives, and A .Pratt Kesler, Kes-ler, candidate for re-election as Utah's Attorney General, visited visit-ed Milford and Beaver County Wednesday evening. At Beaver- the candidates dropped in at a special Seminary fund-raising smorgasbord, and spent several hours chatting with the surprised sur-prised Beaver citizens, who welcomed him warmly. Congressman Burton is waging wag-ing a vigorous campaign, and among the quotes from addresses ad-dresses made in this area are: "It's time the Administration . stopped using a Tom Sawyer whitewash technique on the Bobby Baker scandal. The people of Utah and the U S are entitled to know the facts on this Administration 'cover-up' 'cover-up' project . . . The decision to prosecute does not come from the FBI, to which the case was referred, but from the recent Johnson appointee, Acting Attorney At-torney General Katzenbach, and it is highly improbable that any investigation will be completed prior to election day." "The Johnson Administration has ignored the problems and plights of the domestic cattle industry. Livestock producers are facing worse times than they have experienced in decades, dec-ades, yet the help given by the Administration is negligible. President Johnson has not, however, overlooked the financial finan-cial plights of the rest of the world and asked for $3.5 billion in foreign aid funds to help them. I think it is about time we concerned ourselves a little more with domestic industry and a little less with the economic eco-nomic problems of the rest of the world." "The American worker is the most skilled and productive in the world. Obviously we have difficulty competing with a foreign country whose laboring man receives one-fourth the paycheck of the American worker. We should not allow any nation to 'dump' their Droducts on our market and depress our industry. The Administration Ad-ministration policies in respect to foreign produced fuel oil, steel, meats, and many other products, allow this very thing to happen." "My opponent claims we need a Democrat in the First Congressional District who is 'close to the Administration.' I say the people of Utah need a representative who expresses their views, not those of Washington Wash-ington bureaucrats. A Democrat Demo-crat tied to the Administration is what we don't need. I was able to get two major bills for Utah passed in the House this year the Dixie Project and the Canyonlands Bill. In the 87th Congress Utah had two Democrats Demo-crats in the House of Representatives Repre-sentatives and they didn't get as much as one hearing on the bills. Success in Congress is in direct ratio to legislative experience ex-perience and know-how, and these two things will not be nullified by responsible opposition oppo-sition to policies and programs that are bad for our country, such as sale of wheat to Communist Com-munist Russia, wasteful Foreign Aid, and the Administration's Medicare." |
