Declaring senate action on the United Nations charter is one of the greatest, steps forward internationally this country has ever taken, Mr. Murdock said in Salt Lake Monday, "While the charter, of course, has many Imperfections and deflciences, St is at least a concrete agreement in which people of the whole world can repose faith, and by such faith, remedy its defects." "I know that there Is some skepticism in Utah and other western states about the reciprocal trades agreement program, but no serious harm has come to us in the past from this program and I am not at all afraid of the future," he said. The greatest highway building program in the nation's history will begin Immediately in the postwar period and will continue for many years, Mr. Murdock said. Declaring there Is no Industry more important to Utah than its livestock industry, the senator affirmed his interest in the improvement of ranges, reseedlng ranges and development of water facilities.

A calf was drowned, belonging to Chester Sly. The Highway 91 was impassable for some time and Lt. Paul of the highway patrol, of Nephl, patrolled the road until it was safe for traffic. Lightening also came in for Its share of the damage.

Other small transformers and switches throughout the city were burned out when the lightning hit the line. At the Brooklawn Creamery three transformers on the Tellurlde Power line were burned out during the electric storm. With the total precipitation for the week amounting to 1.80 in., Beaver has almost reached thu average for the past 32 years.

TAKE CARE OF YOUR TIRES IS OPA ADVICE 'Approximately five times as many tire applications come to the board during hot weather as during cold, Joseph A. Manzione. the county chairman of the war price and rationing board said, urging that motorists check the air pressure in tires regularly, have worn tires recapped before they are beyond repair, and observe the wartime speed limit of 35 miles per hour. "Don't blame the tire manufacturer or the recapper if you get a blow-owhile rolling along at 50 or 60 miles an hour," he said. "Synthetic rubber will not stand the speed. Heat builds up In the wartime tires so fast that blowouts occur under conditions which would make a prewar tire only moderately warm," The national quota of 2,500,000 tires for August was provided only by reducing present low Inventor- so close. ies another 500,000 tires, Indicating that It will be a long time before new tires can be granted to holders, he added.
