WEALTH AND SCENERY The mineral wealth of Utah is becoming more and more widely known thanks in large measure to the new uranium mining industry. And no member of Congress can with as much truth extoll the natural beauties of his state can as representatives from Utah. Its just a fact that Utah more has spectacular national parks and monuments than any other state in the union. ANOTHER FIRST Another field in which Utah excells, however, became more generally recognized back here with the issuance of the reports of the Presidents Commission on Intergovernmental Relations. One of the fields covered by the Commissions exhaustive survey was education. And, as usual, Utah stood right at the top of the list.
