There will be many with emphasis on reduction of cost of changes effected government, and elimination of many bureaus and agencies that perhaps can be returned to the state and county level.

According to Sheriff Arzy Mitchell, who Investigated the accident, Mr. Langs truck skid ded on a turn and before he could get the vehicle under control it had left the road and rolled over twice. His son, Ralph, who was riding with Mr Lang, freed himself and was able to crawl to the road where he hailed a car driven by Mr. Morgan, supervisor of the Sail Lake Pipe Line, who in turr used his shortwave radio to summon the sheriff and an ambulance from Roosevelt. Mr. Lang was freed from his truck and carried to the highway where a fire had been built and he was covered with blan- kds to await the ambulance. An oil crew assisted In retrieving the wrecked truck. After arriving at the Roose- velt LDS Hospital, doctors who administered aid to the injured man recommended he be sent to' Salt Lake, where his bad'; fractured leg could be given more complete care. Mrs. Mar tha Shanks, supervisor of nurses at the local hospital, accompanied the ambulance and Mr Lang to the LDS Hospital, where his condition is reported to be good.
