"The Marquardt installation will be an important factor in the economy of the state," the Utah senator said. "It compares very favorable in size with the Boeing installation which previously had been contemplated for the state; and is aDDroximately the same size as the Martin plant which re centlv went to Denver. "The Ogden area, which has played a major role in our nation's nat-ion's defense since early in World War II, is now slated for an even more important part," the Utah senator said. "The engines to be manufactured in this plant may well be the key to the military security of the free world for decades de-cades to come."

Prompted by the recent brazen earl ymorning holdup of a Safeway Safe-way Store in Salt Lake City, the new system involves the use of two keys to open the inner com partment of store safes. One purpose of the new system Is to protect employees from threat of bodily harm, according to Williams. "The harrowing ex perience of Mr. and Mrs. Bert Frost, Salt Lake City, when they were abducted from their home at 3 a.m. on February, 12, convinced con-vinced us something had to be done to prevent a recurrence of such an incident," Williams said. "Under the new procedure, the inner compartment of the safe can be opened only by using two keys. One key will be in the possession pos-session of the store manager. The other key will be retained by the armed driver of the armored rar service which collects the cash. Since both keys have to be used simultaneously, it will be Impossible Impos-sible to open the safe at any time except when the armed armored car employee is present," the Company official declared. A slotted aperture in the door of the inner compartment will allow al-low cash to be put in the safe without opening the Inner compartment.

The cost in dollars tid cents, of course, is secondary to that of pain and heartbreak. But the report graphically shows that wars and aftermaths of wars are the greatest deterent to any move to ever cut the expense and size of government to the level . or near the level it was during the forepart of this century.

Survivors and dependents of these men are also rightly entitled entitl-ed to be protected against want by their grateful government. The sum total of this duty, however, how-ever, causes a continued increase in the cost of government as time goes on and wars become bigger. big-ger. If there were no more wars, the pension obligation of the government would continue to increase for several decades, the survey shows.
