“'and they are willing to put up ‘with greater hardships than they would be- under another govern- menu ' Commenting on the United Nations which he will discuss in an address at the Monday evening banquet Mr Warren said: “In the lorg-teroutlook U N represents the creation of a new world But everyone should keep In mind that it Is a long-terproject and that great Immediate results cannot be expected One important thing it has failed to do — and that is the big job ahead — is to capture the imagination of the people” As to U S policy in Greece and Turkey Mr Warren said he had no question as to the wisdom of this country's course Russia and the western world he asserted represent opposite ways of life and both are trying to prove that their way is the best See Harmony “My personal belief” he added is that both systems can live together in the same world that Russia will eventually accept that view and that at long last we wiU get some sort of accommodation between the two ways

Monday The Tuesday program includes two plenary sessions and the Utah luncheon all in Hotel Utah r The first million of a $6000000 appropriation to a state building fund should become available Aug 1 the state board of examiners disclosed Friday in a letter to the Daughters of the Utah Pioneers The letter assures the DUP that $150000 In additional funds appropriated by the last legislature for the Pioneer Memorial building southwest of the capitol will receive top consideration The $150000 to be added to the $300000 already available was one item in a list of building projects set up by S B 202 which created the state building fund Announcement that $1000000 would be available for transfer was the first indication that Utah revenue remains high enough to cover appropriations and show a surplus Under the terms of the building bill its projects are to be financed only from surpluses in the emergency relief fund and the state general fund Lewis H Lloyd state budget director said the availability of the transfer Is predicated on a “pay as you go” state fiscal policy He estimated that on Aug 1 (date of transfer to building fund set by S B 202) there will be nearly $10000000 in the emergency relief fund minus welfare general fund health and expenditures for May through September of $3630000 and a reserve of $5000000 He pointed out that It was necessary to set up Appropriations on a quarterly basis If surplus Is to be available on Aug 1 Giles Upholds Welfare Liens The state’s new welfare law makes It mandatory that county welfare boards require a Hen on all real property of old age assistance recipients in excess of $1200 assessed valuation Atty Gen Grover A Giles ruled Friday The question was raised by Dr P T Farnsworth welfare commission chairman In answer to another question Mr Giles said that the new act does however give the state welfare department discretion in cases where the commission makes capital investments (mortgage payments repairs etc) on homes of welfare recipients A section of the new act gives the commission the “authority to take a hen to secure this capital investment” “It is the opinion of this office that the ’authority to take a lien’ is a mandatory directive but must be acted upon within the discretion of the commission” Mr Giles wrote The increasing number of new automobiles with very low mileage now offered as used cars at exorbitant prices in Utah Friday was seen as a "growing menace” in a special newsletter released by the Utah Automobile Dealers’ Assn Participated in by Individuals and used car lots the current trend has created an obstacle between buyers and dealers it is becoming difficult for citizens to understand the “why” of the situation according to the release A measure to partially curb such practices was offered by the auto dealers who urged rechecklng of waiting lists to ascertain as nearly as possible whether the potential customer intends to keep the vehicle for personal use In many Utah communities a comparison of names by fellow-dealehas uncovered duplicate or multiple listings the report stated Discussions with the prospective customers then alleviated the situation somewhat Utah dealers are urged to make an audit of orders periodically not only to help eliminate such practices but to understand a percentage of pending orders that can be depended upon the report concluded rs
