Striking at Safety ' President Roosevelt's proposal to abolish the Air Safety Board, p?,rt of his latest reorganization plan, is encountering mounting opposition and "resentment" in congress. rf Much of the opposition is coming from the west where mountain country makes flying more hazardous and every possible safety measure is greatly; appreciated. . The safety board was brought into the picture as an independent, in-dependent, agent to investigate airplane accidents, and fix the blame because of the rising storm of protest against the discarded Bureau of Air Commerce which had been prosecutor, prose-cutor, judge and jury, in every investigation, . Civil aviation was at a low ebb when the Civil Aeronautics Aero-nautics Authority came into existence on August 22, 1938.' The picture changed immediately. In the two years prior to the establishment of the board there were 11 accidents acci-dents which took a toll of 84 lives. ; Since the board has been in operation with Robert H. Hinckley, a Utahn and former Provo resident as chairman, there have been only tJiree accidents and 16 deaths. And since March 20, 1939 , there has not been a single accident or a single fatality, a record never before established in the world. . - Under the system proposed by Mr, Roosevelt's scheme of .bureaucratic reorganization, the independent Air Safety Board is abandoned and its duties handed over to, a subservient sub-servient subdivision of the administrative agency.: Mr, Roosevelt calls criticism of this change "spinach." That is no answer. ; The change is a danger to human life and safe aviation because it destroys the independence of those OUT OUR WAY By Williams llf llft WHV, IT'S NOT RAINING, eS V ' ' W 7 HARD A5 I THOUGHT.'

These are prod ucts on which the empire has vir tually a monopoly. Last year, the United States bought $250,000,000 worth of them.

Trice, $2.50. . , Here, in the opinion of "this re viewer, la what should be to Utah readers, at least, the most significant signifi-cant novel of this year. Why Utah, with as unique and individual a history as any state in the Union should be the least exploited in analytical fiction has long: been a puzzle. That it has been, to a very great extent, church- dominated domin-ated Is only partially an answer. It is true, however, that until very recently readers have been led to expect that any imaginative work dealing with Utah should be either (a) faith promoting, or (b) sensational, sensa-tional, and exaggerated attacks upoon a bygone institution, (c) namby-pamby, skim-mllk attempts at realism which ignore the one dominating factor in the growth of the state. Can't Ignore Church To write a novel with a broad Utah background and ignore the Mormon church Is as futile as to try to make bread without flour. Jean Woodman has attempted no evasions. Her novel is of the Im pact of the church upon three gen erations. Upon Hans Sorensen, pioneer Danish convert, who in spite of adversities knows" that the Gospel of Mormonism is true, and that Joseph Smith was a prophet. Who runs his life, and attempts to run the lives of bis family, according to the j literal teachings of the Bible, the Book of Mormon, and the Doctrine & Covenants; and whose great ambition am-bition la to do temple work for his eagerly waiting dead. It would have been easy to make Hans a caricature. The author haa not done so. He is treated with sympathy, sym-pathy, understanding, and humor; never forgetting that it was Hans and his kind who were the reel builders of : an empire that has excited the admiration of the world. It is the story of Hans daughter Grethe, and her husband Jonathan. Grethe,. with her father's strength, but lacking his spiritual conviction. is the one about whom the story revolves. Because Jonathan is a financial failure a marked man for. whom everything turns out badly Grethe goes into business on her own account to the consequent conse-quent neglect of what the community commu-nity considers her real duties. Un able to accept the comfortable conformity con-formity of her own generation, and lacking the sublime faith of an older one, she, is faced with sharp reality in the suicide of her husband, and the revolt oi ner daughter Marion. Missionary Love Aflalr Grethe s significant In the story i3 not lessened by the fact that Use greater part of the book deals with the love afair of Marion, and the returned Mormon missionary. David Henry. Sickened by endless end-less discussions of religion at home, feeling herself a misfit because be-cause she cannot go In for iff directed activities which are -so much a part of the Mormon religion, re-ligion, Marion is torn between her love for David, and her wish to escape by way of the stage. Most returned missionaries she finds narrow. Intolerant, and Incredibly dull. David, she believes, is afferent. af-ferent. In the end ehe finds David s tolerance is largely based upon his belief that he can eventually make her over into a loyal Mormon Mor-mon wife. She is obliged to choose between economic security with David, and the uncertain vicissitudes vicissi-tudes of a New York career. The story, as a story, Is a good one. Mrs. Woodman writes. with easy facility and determined tolerance. toler-ance. It Is, however, as a study of background that the book is important. Unlike another recently recent-ly widely discussed novel there are no historical errors or misstatements misstate-ments of doctrine because the author herself is thoroughly familiar famil-iar with the Mormon religion, and knows what she Ls talking a bout-There bout-There are other characters In the book whom It is a pleasure to meet. Jock Harvey, good na-tured na-tured "Gentile" in a Mormon University. Uni-versity. Sister Lin stmm, the borrowing bor-rowing neighbor, and former polygamous polyg-amous wife. Julee Morgan, the stranded ham actor from Broadway, Broad-way, and others. Completely Unbiased . It would not be fair to say that GLORY SPENT is completely unbiased, un-biased, but it Is sincere and honest. hon-est. People do leave the church any church. It would perhaps be as well for the churches to examine exam-ine themselves critically once in a while to ascertain why many young people leave them instead of relying solely upon the eld theory the-ory that euch people have calmly and maliciously delivered themselves them-selves over to the buff etings of Satan. 4 It has been said that Utah's literary lit-erary future Is at the crossroads. It is a hopeful sign that books such as this are now being written. It la good for us, as well as the rest of the world, to occasionally take time out and look at ourselves our-selves and our institutions as others oth-ers see us.

She had a dawning suspi cion that it involved Eddie Cava lier. Even against her will and what she thought was her better judgment. ' .
