Plott, son of Mr. and Mrs. Felix Plott of 377 West Fifty-thirSouth street. Word to this effect was received last Friday morning by his par- ents from the war department. Corporal Plott, 28, was serving in the armored tank division. He was born in Murray on January 13, 1915, and grew ud here. After he completed his elementary education he was em- ployed by the Smedley Fruit and Product company until he entered military service in February, 1941. He was stationed first at Fort Douglas and then transferred to Fort Knox. Ky., where he remained until last June, when he went overseas. Corporal Plott has two brothers in the service also, Private Nick R. Plott, Camp Roberts, Cal., and Technical Corporal George Allen Plott. with the U. S. signal corps, Mobile, Ala.

Training Here 1 On Friday, April 2, qualifying tests will be given at the Murray high for the army and navy e traininS Program, Varian 'Mortcnson, at the principal school, announced this week. This plan, known as the 2 program, provides for the exami- -' nation of all male students who have attained their 17th birthday but have not reached their 22nd birthday by July 1. 1943, and who have graduated or are expected to graduate from secondary schools prior to that date. It will provide information useful to the armed forces in selet-instudents for college training under the army specialized training program, and also in classifying all others in respect to relative trainability. The purpose of the program is to train, at the collegiate level, men in technical and professional skills required by the army. Engineers of all types, doctors, psychologists, linguists, physicists, mathematicians and students of foreign areas are needed, and the program has been established in colleges and universities where such training can best be given. The purpose of the program is also to produce naval officers. High school seniors, high school graduates and college students who seem to have potentialities for ultimate selection as officers will be selected for college training. The plan contemplates that this training will be carried on while the men are on active duty, in uniform, receiving pay and under general military discipline. In order to be eligible for selection one must (a) be a male citizen of the U. S. : (b) be morally and physically qualified for this program, including a minimum uncorrected visual acuity of 1820 in each eye; (c) be unmarried and agree to remain unmarried until commissioned, unless sooner released by the navy department; (d) evidence potential officer qualifications, including appearance and scholarship records. Men now enlisted in any branch of the armed services. 7 reserves l, on inactive status, are' not eligible to take the test. Students who prefer the navv program should fill out the "Admission and Identification Form for Navy College Training Proand those who gram Test should the program army prefer fill out the "Admission and Identification Form for the Army ColTest lege Training Program Those who have no preference may use either card. In either case, the card should be properly filled out and presented by the candidate to the supervisor at the time of the V-1- LAMAR S. MACKAY Ensign U. S. N.

One Dollar a Year Lions Planning For Post War Problems Alien Japanese Law Aids Farm Labor Shortage ar With the signing of senate bill te Governor Herbert B. Maw, following his veto of an earlier, but bad, piece of legislation (S. B. 5), the final chapter has been written on the controversy over the rights of alien Japanese to own or make long-terleases of lands in Utah. The amended measure safeguards the rights of farmers to employ aliens on Utah farms for a cash fee, or for a share of the crop, and to leases with them make short-ternot exceeding one year. It also safeguards to Utah citizen landowners, including our boys who are in our armed forces, the inheritance of their lands when they come marching home. Senate bill No. 5 was introduced in the senate the first day of the present legislative session. Even its sponsors, we are informed, had no notion that its provisions were so inclusive. Patterned closely after the California alien land law. which most assuredly had neither prevented long leasing by Japanese or other aliens nor their "use," "occupation" or "enjoyment," "cultivation" of farm lands as agricultural workers, the sponsors of the Utah bill naturally thought it would work the same here. But they had apparently overlooked two facts our former treaty rights with Japan which had safeguarded to her subjects living in America prior to the war their constitutional right to earn a living, and the added fact that certain parts of the California law had never been fully tested for their constitutionality. Our Utah legislators had assumed also, it now appears from the record, that under the proposed law all aliens would be permitted to work for Utah far.r. s io prow and harvest victory crops. But the United States attorney general for Utah advised differently. He warned that he would have to rule, if the act became a law. that alien Japanese . . . including some two or three thousand in the Topaz Relocation Center . . . would not be permitted outside the center if the law were enacted. So the governor vetoed t'1" bill . . . claiming that it might also deny to some r.f our fr ntal allies, particularly the Chinese and Filipinos, the right to work in Utah. Then he passed the back b the senate, which could have attempted to pass it over hs veto, or chop the whole ma'W. or bring in an amended bill. The senate chose the latter rourse h'lievmg that the people of Utah wanted some prntcli'n against the competition f r our farm lands bv ahi-- JananKe This amended bill (S.

Arrangements have been completed to compile an accurate, list of all men and women from Murray who are now serving in the armed forces. This apparently would be a very difficult job because of the voluntary enlistments in the various branches of the service and enlistments outside of this state by boys from Murray City. However, through the splendid cooperation of those connected with the compiling of this information, this list will be completed for publication in the next week's issue of the Murray Eagle. This committee has obtained for each member of the committee copies of bills presented at this session of the state legislature so that they will be familiar with work proposed by the state in which we may participate. However, senate bill No. 72, house bill No. 139 and house bill No. 145, all of which provided for preparations for this postwar period, failed to reach the floor of either house or senate, which means that there are no definite plans so far as the state of Utah is concerned for this vitally important and serious period. It is to be hoped that the governor will be able to work out some way of assisting communities with this problem. The National Resources Planning Board has worked out an r elaborate program for planning, but funds have been cut off by the congress and, unless they develop a program and provide finances or the President is able to work on a program, there will be no plans made for r this period. This brings home to the people of Murray in a very forcible manner the importance of doing local-'everything we ' --possilvan "f: x'J'b necess. sary to depend too much on outside assistance. A survey is being made by this committee of possible building projects to be undertaken at the end of the war, so that preliminary details will have been worked out which will save unnecessary delay in getting tilings under way during a period when loss of time may mean loss of work when needed most. Plans and research work are being done by the Utah development and publicity department for industries and resources to be r employdeveloped for ment. Further details and information in regard to the various pi. je.'ts studied by this Utah M3te department will doubtless be released to the public as they are developed. Many natural resources and industries that can promote employment should be available immediately after hostilities cease. If plans go forward as lu.t'd. these activities should mean very much to the returning soldier as well us the public generally. The state w ill also be prepared to offer plans for scenic and recreation centers and touring roads that should attract great numbers r of touiists in days when tourists are again in circulation. Murray City is the center of Salt Lake county and the hub from which ail (xunts in Utah ran readily he reached, and could be the headquarters for much activity in this tourists' entertaining program. y tin There are still some people in Utah who believe that the entire from the m.i!l r was statl: that no law, but only Ftrong local vigilance and an public Fntiment can bo eoiin'ed on to do nil the thinci to l,;h the two bills eotlltht that the spirit of either pit form; me., ore is intolerant nt minorities: anl umvi e at a tim when 'Continued on page 8) jnist-wa- NFW RATIONING ('HANGK .
