BENNETT Republican Senate Candidate Utah cannot afford to send to U. S. Senate a man who prides himself on blocking legislation to strenghten our schools. Representative David S. King said. "The minds of our young Americans represent the greatest natural resource which the nation has. We cannot afford to give our children less than the very best education, yet Wallace Bennett consistently votes against the improvement of education in Utah Representative David King was accused by a spokesman for Senator Bennett of selling out the people of Carbon County during his four years in the House. The charge was made by L. Ralph Mecham, administrative assistant to Bennett, in a speech given at Dragerton recently to a joint meeting of the Dragerton and Price Rotary Clubs, the Price Kiwanis Club, and their wives. Mr. Mecham said, "King has blindly rubber stamped the New Frontier program, even when it has seriously harmed the people of Utah and Carbon County. When the White House cracks the whip, King jumps. For example, he voted for the Hanford Reactor public power project, which will deprive Western coal miners of 900 jobs. King also voted for the $50 million Burns Creek public power boondoggle, which will take away a $500,000-a-yepayroll from the Utah and Wyoming coal miners. King clearly puts his whole soul devotion to public power above the welfare of Utahs coal miners. "King also rubber stamps the Kennedy Administration foreign aid giveaway of $322.5 million to build steel mills in foreign countries, including a $15 million plant in Communist Yugoslavia. These plants are now taking work away from the Geneva Steel plant and throwing coal miners out of work in Carbon and Emery Counties. "King also backs the Kennedy Administration policy to flood America with imports of crude and residual oil. Again King has blindly followed the New Frontier, even though this is throwing coal miners out of work all over the country. King refused to sponsor the United Mine Workers amendment to the Trade Bill, presumably because it was opposed by the White House. The bill, as it was passed by the House with King's support, was called by President Thomas Kennedy of the UMW the job destruction bill of 1962. In contrast, Senator Bennett worked actively in the Senate to protect Utahs coal miners. Mr. Mecham concluded by charging that King thinks that Carbon and Emery Counties are in his pocket, so he thinks he can ignore the welfare of this important Utah area. It is high time for Carbon and Emery County voters to rise up in wrath against the shoddy treatment that King and the other Congressional Democrats have given them and vote for people like Senator Bennett who have been fighting for the welfare of the area. the and the other "Utahns 49 states. of course, remember, that Senator Bennett helped en- gineer the Tideland oil giveaway, which was the biggest setback American education suffered in this century. Double shifts and overcrowded classrooms could now have been a thing of the past in Utah, if the wealth from this oil were flowing to education in all the states, instead of to those in the already-oil-ric- h states. The effect of thfc senators action has been to let the rich get richer and the poor get which typifies his whole poorer philosophy. The double shifts and other demoralizing conditions which exist in Utahs Granite district and in other areas in the state and nation go uncorrected year after year, and America goes on losing ground in the race for brainpower. These problems can be met by a sound and realistic program of federal participation. "I have always supported thjs approach to solving our pressing educational problems. I was happy to cast my vote in this session of Congress for the academic facilities bill, which will make available to Utah over $1 million for the improvement of college facilities. off-sho- JOHN HALPINE, JR. Democratic Candidate State Representative First District The Democratic candidate in a statement released today declared that the Utah State legislature already is overcrowded with representatives of special interest groups. These lobbyist-legislatospend 60 days protecting the terests of their clients and rs i in- at- secure to additional tempting privileges for those who pay them, he said. "I am not connected with any special interest group neither by my employment nor by selling their product. My opponent, I am told, is a salesman for a service which is known to have a rather strong lobby. This lobby would not benefit Carbon County in practice nor in essence; therefore, I am happy to say again that I am not acquainted with any lobby group either by profession or by employment. "Carbon County does not need a lobbyist. It needs a legislator dedicated to the best interests of its people. "I have been informed by many reliable sources that the injured worker covered by a private insurance plan often receives considerably less compensation than the injured worker covered by state insurance. If such is truly the case, this is a travesty of justice. Certainly there cannot be two separate rate schedules for industrial accidents. The loss of an arm at an operation insured by a private company is just as serious to the disabled worked as the d lass of an arm at a company. "Under our present statutes, individual companies have the option of obtaining state or private workmens compensation coverage. I have no objection to this plan as long as no worker suffers because of the option exercised by his employer. Yet I should feel that a more standard and equitable compensation schedule should be aired and if elected I will do all I can to open this subject up in the House of Representatives. state-insure- Volume 71 NEWSPAPER A CONSOLIDATION OF THE SUN AND M. BLAINE PETERSON Democrat Candidate U.S. Representative Representative M. Blaine Peter- son said in a meeting today that the Democrat Party is the party of the working man. Since the advent of the Kennedy Administration, unemployment has been reduced from seven per cent to five per cent of the working force. Congressman Peterson pointed out that unemployment is one of our major problems. One of the reasons we must keep the country moving is to absorb the new labor force of three million people a year. Not only by keeping the economy strong will we be able to employ this force but we must have measures like the manpower retraining act to help those who have been forced out of work by automation. Congressman Peterson further stated that in the first year of the Kennedy Administration time lost by the laboring man through strikes was cut in half from 30 million man days a year to 16 million. This was a new post war low. g Idaho Firm Gains Bid For Price BLM Building ComLoveland Construction pany of Idaho Falls, Idaho, has been decided the successful low bidder at $24,410 and awarded the contract for furnishing and erecting a prefabricated warehouse-garage building for the Price District, Bureau of Land Management, the 50 by 128 building will be placed in the Price District warehouse yards at 900 North Seventh East.

Ken Cox, Curti'i Jensen, j Sevenson and AN INDEPENDENT Contrary to a commonly held but mistaken impression, Utah is not losing a large proportion of its teachers to other states. This point was brought out in an analysis prepared by the Utah Foundation, the private governmental research organization, of the annual teacher personnel report of the Utah State Department of Public Instruction. The Foundation study shows that 732 persons, or approximately 70 per cent of the graduates infrom Utah stitutions who taught anywhere last year, accepted teaching positions in Utah. This percentage (7074 ) is identical with the proportion of the graduates who were residents of Utah. From this, the Foundation concludes it waould appear that the teacher graduates from Utah institutions lot to other states teacher-trainin- te g teacher-trainin- g mainly residents of those states to begin with. Approximately a third of the teacher graduates for one reason or another do not enter the teaching profession immediately afer graduation. According to the st idy. many of there are girls who marry and assume homeother are studens who wish to conhnue their forma st .d.es. About per cent are individuals who obtain positions Founlat.on analvs's point ru tha Utah remolds a substantial number of teachers from other staes each year. IaM vear, for a total of 266 person exnm-i'who taurvt the previois jear in some oher 3e aeeepe d teach-in- s out-of-sta- te were non-eaehi- e, m- - p.,. in l'ah S ..rpri-m- g. ly eno' ;h. 25 per cent of these teachers came from a state ranking near California the top in teacher salary levels. Utah probably could obtain even more teachers from other states, the study continues, were it not for a school health education requirement which prevents some teachers from securing certification and employment in Utah. This provision was amended in 1955 by the Utah Legislature so that the State Board of Education now may prescribe the health education requirement needed for certification. The Foundation therefore points out that if the health education requirement is posing a major obstacle in the recruitment of teachers it could be modified by action of the State Board of Education. The Foundation report observes that data giving the reasons why teachers left their positions were not published by the State School Off.ce this year. Information for the previous year, however, indicates that fam'iy and personal reasons are the major factors in deemuning where a teacher will teach, and particularly in the determination of teacher movements Mate to state.

Still another myth dispelled by the Utah Foundation research study pertains to the quality of Utah teachers. According to the report, the level of academic training among Utah teachers has been improving steadly during recent years.
