Show d iv ;g Senate Lead pports atheson in Liquor Rift Senate President Moroni L. Jensen, Lake City, said Saturday he supports the governors efforts to remove three state liquor commissionState Liquor ers from the Control Commission. I believe it to be a step in the right direction, said the presiding officer of the Utah Senate, which confirms gubernatorial appointments to the commislt five-memb- sion. Gov. Scott M. Matheson said Friday he asked for the resignation of the three commissioners who earlier in the week voted to remove liquor commissioner John P, OKeefe as chairman of the commission. Zane G. Alder, Caleb The three Nothing SeriousSOB . . . SOB . , . SOB: The myth has persisted for centuries that grown men do not cry. The thought has persisted for By Douglas L. Parker Tribune Political Editor The State Democratic Central Committee adopted a resolution Saturday urging the governor to call a special of OP! years that it is unmanly for a 'male to shed tears. Im sure this myth has been perpetuated cen-- t ' through the u r i e s females. by Because, actually, men are great criers . . . and are not ashamed to cry huge tears if the occasion demands. THE REASON I am bringing the male crying bit up again is because I have just received the current issue of the bulletin of the League of Women and the bulletin Voters of Salt Lake contains mention of the old belief that true men are above tears. In the current issue of the League of Women Voters bulletin there is a list of fallacies about mens and womens emotional reaction to the world. These reactions were written by Nancy R. Smith, and one reads: For every woman who has been called an emotional female, there is a man who is denied the right to weep. I dont know where Nancy gets her information, but its wrong. IN THE FIRST PLACE a woman who cries is not called an emotional a big . , . she is called female crybaby And it is only a myth that grown men dont cry. I Ive cried many times in my life mean really cried, big, wet tears. Ive cried at Nevada dice tables. I mean I start with a buck. I make three passes on the line. I move it to the hardway 10 and make it. I move the loot hack to the dont pass line and the first throw of the dice comes out a seven . . . You don't think I've cried when that happens? All men cry many times during their lifetimes. I remember one of the first times I cried real tears was when I was 18 years old and I bought a used DeSoto roadster sedan for 300, and I drove it off the used car lot and the rear axle fell ... ... off. I sat right down on the curb and cried real tears. Im 60 years old and I still cry. And I dont consider it unmanly. No matter what Nancy R. Smith says about tears, they are not feminine. Men cry, too. Just the other day my wife My investigation is sufficiently complete to back up my request for them resignations. 1 think we ought to let the facts come out at the (public) hearing, without byplaying it in the press on a basis, he said Saturday aftemixm. Mr. Alder, contacted by The Tribune, said Gov. Matheson "implied at his news conference that he had contacted and even listened to input from the other commissioners. . , day-to-da- y Apparently, he listened basically to one man, Mr. Alder continued, and that apparently was Mr. O'Keefe. The former commission chairman's allega- See Page Column 1 B-- Demos Urge Special Legislative Session Dan Valentines thousands Shreeve and Gordon C. Holt refused to resign when contacted by the governors office. Barnng a change in their attitude, the governor said he would fire them for cause. State law provides the governor may remove any commissioner from office for cause after a public hearing before him after not less than 10 days written notice, which notice shall specify the reasons for removal. On Saturday two liquor commissioners said they had asked to speak directly to the chief executive when contacted by his office Friday but had been turned down. Gov. Matheson confirmed that he did not talk to them directly, adding arrived home with a large box under her arm. "Just bought a new dress, she said, TII try it on for you. So she did. She came prancing out into the living room with this orange thing on with purple pants and pink sleeves How much did it cost? 1 asked. I got it marked down for only $395, my wife said. That's when I cried large, wet tears right on the davenport. Who says grown men dont cry ? I recall once during World War II in the South Pacific. I was in the middle of a small enemy action, and I started to cry. I didnt cry because of the enemy I cried because one of the bullets Japanese bullets had hit a quart bottle of raisin-jacthat I had carried more than 1,000 miles for just such an occasion. YES, NANO R. SMITH. Grown men cry large, wet tears. Dont you believe otherwise. I have a neighbor. Hes a tough,' truck driver. Hes all muscle and he's all male. But the other evening I came home and he was sitting on the front steps bawling his eyes out. The reason : He had just dropped a ' fifth of bourbon on the sidewalk, and it and this was on a had busted Saturday night late, and the liquor stores were closed on Sunday. And this male neighbor was cry ing large, wet tears And he wasn't ashamed So dont you ladies get the idea that grown men are above tears and sorrow.

The resolution urged proposing to voters this fall amendments to have candidates for governor and lieutenant governor be elected in tandem from the same political party, and to permit lengthening of legislative sessions annually.

Page One Costs Force T ribime Price Boost home delivered The seven-da- y price of The Salt Lake Tribune will be increased by 75 cents a month effective March 1 because of continuing higher costs of production and distribution. Twenty cents of the increase will go to the newpaper carrier. The increase amounts to about 2 12 cents a day to the reader. The current $4.50 monthly rate will be raised to $5.25 (Newsprint and ink alone cost $5.91 a month per subscriber). The single copy price will be increased from 15 cents to 20 cents. There will be no change in the newstand price of the Sunday Tribune. Publisher J.W. Gallivan said the rate adjustments were necessitated by rising costs, principally for newsprint, ink, labor and transportation, and the highly inflated prices for machinery and equipment. He said a new $7 million press was ordered in December and that the same equipment 10 years ago was priced at $1 million. nt committee members in the Salt Lake Hilton, 150 W. 5th South, at which Gov. Scott M. Matheson appeared briefly, commenting he hoped to participate this year in many county party conventions in efforts to boost Democratic chances in state legislative races. Close to 150 attended the session Another resolution unanimously adopted expressed opposition to the Utah State Fair being moved from the present State Fairgrounds to the Salt Palace. Although Democratic legislative leaders are urging a special session, the governor has declined in the hope of gaining some consensus from Republican leaders that there would be support for enactment of the constitutional amendments. Matheson Withholds Support assurance That hasnt been forthcoming. Gov. Matheson, in his most recent comment on the matter, said he would let the matter simmer a few weeks to see if attitudes change. Sen. Jensen told the committee the time constraint of the existing y budget session in every other year is too severe to get the work done. Rep. Rawson added that those who oppose a special session to act on the constitutional matters dont understand that arent now being met problems adequately under existing limits. As for the last budget session, Rep. Rawson said he was so busy trying to get a bond issue proposal through on the last day of the session that he was distracted from his concerns in getting the constitutional amendments proposed. Jensen Seeks Support Sen. Jensen pleaded for support at election time to get Democratic majorities in both houses, ending the stalemate of split control of the legislature. If we do that, we can push this state forward as it ought to be, he added. Rep. Rawson said a Democratic legislative program should include removal of the sales tax on food, seeking some check on insurance rates and continuing concerns with human problems.
