CARES PROBLEMS ARE FAR FROM SOLVED Despite the imposition of new taxes, the authorization oi a $5 milium bend issue, and the transfer of funds of the 1965 Utah Legislature, many of Utah's batic financial problems are by no means resolved. That was the major conclusion reached by Utah Foundation the private tax research organization, in t'leir fiscal analysis of the 1965 Legislative session. Foundation's report points out that two years from now Utah will be faced with ill a high level of current operating expense, 2l demands for additional funds for operating expenditures especially at the colleges, (3) the necessity to begin making interest and principal payments on the bond issue, and S67 million (4 additional requests for buildings and other capital outlay projects beyond those financed by the bond issue. In order to balance the 1965-6- 7 state budget, the 1965 Legislature increased the individual income tax, the corporate income tax, the special excise tax on liquor and wines, and authorized a $67 million bond issue for capital improvements. cent sales tax which The had been used for the capital outlay program was diverted to the general fund where it will be used for general operating purposes. According to the Foundation's study, approximately s of the increased spending authorized by the 1965 Legislature for the coming biennium will go for education. Two years ago, the proportion going for education was even higher with nearly 80 of the added expenditures authorized by the 1963 Legislature being designated for education. On both occaraise in sions, a substantial the elementary and secondary school program was the principal factor in the larger increase in education outlays. The report points out that although state appropriations to the colleges and universities were increased significantly by the the 1965 Legislature, amount of the state appropriation per student will not change appreciably during the next two yeas. Major reason for this is that the post-wa- r baby bulge is reaching college age and will begin entering Utah colleges this year. Foundation analysts note thaLfl most institutions of higher ed; ucation have announced higher tuition fees next year in order to meet rising costs. The Legislature raised the minimum fees at the institutions of higher education. The boosts were greatest for students attending Utah pubPrior to this inlic colleges. at fees nonresident crease, Utah colleges were among the lowest in the nation. Based on the final estimates used by the Legislature, the state property tax needed to balance state operations during the next two years will amount to 8.5 mills $8.50 per $1,000 assessed valuation). This compares with 9.7 mills in 1964 and 7.6 mills in 1963. Foundation analysts note that the tax mill 1965 state property scaled down be levy might slightly if several factors materialize.

S. policy in that "harrassed area of Asia." National Commander Donald E. Johnson said: "In spite of public demonstrations and statements by various personages in the United States and abroad, there can be but one answer to the question: 'What should the United States do in Viet Nam?' The answer is we must win in Vie Nam. no matter how hard self-evide- the battle. We must avoid th development of another Ko-- . rean styled stalemate. During the past two weeks, demonstrations and statements from a vaof sources have called riety for a cease fire' or a 'recess' in the American military efforts to defend Viet Nam against the Viet Cong invaders. "There has been much confusion created in part by communist propaganda machinBut American citizens ery should not be confused as to the role of the United States in Viet Nam. The United States military is in Viet Nam for the express and only purpose of preventing any further intrusion of communist - backed Viet Cong armed might within the borders of that small nation. "Our fighting men are there to stay until the communists have been stopped. If military action Is the only way to halt aggression, then we must speak in the only language the Reds understand.

"For college students and even members of the Senate to propose a 'bombing recess' or a 'cease fire' by our military commands in that area approaches the realm of hysteria. Nothing would be accomplished except to aid the Viet Cong in the realignment and strengthening of their military positions. "Military commanders in the area are now in point-blanbattle contact with the enemy. If and when there is assurance that the enemy is receptive to peace proposals, the traditional American desire for peaceful settlement of international disputes will assure that such proposals will be offered "This certainly is not the proper time for any indication of hesitancy on our part. "Nor can we give anything less than our wholehearted support to our brave soldiers, sailors, airmen and Marines who face the combat reality of communist aggression in the steaming Jungles of Southeast Asia."
