The net effect of Moscow's suggestions is to recognize and strengthen the authontv and responsibility of the Arab Establishment in the face of a challenge from guerrilla elements which many consider more immediate than the ore Israel itself poses. The guerrillas have long been a threat to Jordan's King Hussein and UAR President Nasser. Last month, after near civil war in Jordan, would come into effect. This would mean, among other things, that Israel s right to exist in security and peace would be recognized and accepted something the fedayeen hae sworn they never would do. Under this plan, the Arab governments would have to make them.

A year ago, in June and July 1969, the Soviet Union and the United States put forward comprehensive peace In an effort to proposals. reconcile them, the United States, that fall, took a long step toward advocacy of total troop withdrawal, expecting that the Russians in return would move toward greater precision on the timing and binding character of the peace which would result. d, Jordanian army.

It is that guerrilla accession to dominant political power in Cairo, displacing Nas'er, would wash awav the foundation for Soviet influence in the Arab world and all but guarantee another round of major warfare.

The Republican State Convention last week defeated a resolution in favor of the amendment, which would permit the Utah Constitution to be amended by whole articles rather than specific subsections. HUMAN Secretary of Stale Clyde L. Miller unsuccessfully urged the State Democratic Concn-tio- n not to include Gateway support in the platform. He said too many simply don't understand it, and urged the party to listen to dialogue on the issue. The Democratic Central Committee voted in MarJi to support the amendment. Edward W. Clyde, platform committee chairman, urged support of the amendment as necessary to modernize the constitution. He said that Republicans should be embarrassed at having a legislature propose the measure and a GOP convention reject it. d Gave Theii Support When no motion was offered to strike the clause supporting Gateway, delegates gave their support to the plank, which also backs proposed amendments to reduce residency requirements for voters and permit adoption of federal income tax laws by the state through statutory reference.

Bob Nance, a division superintendent for the Denver and Rio Grande Western Railroad Co. He will face Republican incumbent Rep. Sherman P. Lloyd, who is seeking a fourth term. Thanks to JFK, LBJ A newcomer to politics making his first bid for public office, Mr. Nance accused the Nixon administration of failing to agree on common goals to promote lhe general welfare of the country, at the same time praising past Democratic administrations. We are thankful for the Kennedy and Johnson admin- istrations that had programs goals and direction, that did keep our country moving ahead with stable a economy, Mr. Nance said. The First District candidates, hoping to end the eight that he would ed our military under Respeaker put it publican representation, provided the focal point for the days demonstrations.

Their platitudes are now he they are over, passe, said. Mr. McKay, who filled, the' hall with a bagpipe band, responded: We cannot tolerate violence or disobedience to law. We can lead this nation to a greater glory if we are willing to obey the law of the land ourselves. But we also must have some humanity. x Student delegates gained support for a platform me sure supporting open, patioiv al c.impui discussion opposing tuition increases at colleges and urging legislation that would guarantee that police, military or vigilante, groups will not be permitted on campuses . . . unless heads of those institutions specifically recognize in writ-i-ng a clear and present dam' ger which cannot be remediei by campus security forces."
