This containment of armed conflict moves from threshold to threshold with adeach technological The vancement. ag- gressors threaten to use their technology to reach their objectives, while the civilized world pursues great advancement to contain the aggressor and preserve peace. In this climate, the debate over the neutron bomb recently found its way to the floor of the United States Senate. 0 Scientists military experts and confirm that the weapon is not new. It has been under discussion, research and since the development early days of atomic energy. At least 20 years of study have gone into developing the neutron weapons system. The neutron bomb is the to according relies on a lethal dose of neutrons released from uranium atoms. Compared to the tactical nuclear warheads in Europe, the neutron weapons are very small, about l50th in kiloton power and 116 the size of the atomic d now-deploye- bomb in dropped Hiroshima. The weapon would be used, according to United States military- sources, with Lance missiles in anti-tan- k warfare. The tactical description of the weapon is important because it can be directed at combatants only the fighting people rather than innocent citizens w ho. in the case of the nuclear weapon, just happed to be in the region. But more than what it could do, is what it might do if not used. The is neutron technology another advancement in an area not familiar to the world's aggressive nations. It is, therefore, another in our strong wepon arsenal of deterrents an arsenal that keeps us free, peaceful and safe from aggression. - - - 50-kilot- on - WHOS SIDE IS HE ON?

Minimum wage rates, like minimum heights, minimum weights, minimum I.Q.s and other minimum requirements, only serve to deny jobs to those who are not qualified to meet the minimum requirements. Only on some jobs are such minimums justified, on all other jobs they are merely means of discrimination. There can be no justification for government-impose- d minimum wage rates, and more job seekers are discriminated against by these imposed minimum wage rates than by anything else. EDUCATION By Erma J. Christensen A friend of this writer who lives in Tropic, Utah sent four volumes of a set ofNEA-publishe- d school textbooks to her for review. They are called BUILDING AMERICA series. They are negative, creating guilt feelings in the reader, for the poor, the sick and the struggling masses of people, and the tremendous waste our nation has perpetrated against the ecology of the land. The United States Constitution is also presented as nothing more than a bundle of compromises! instead of a divinely inspired document that will keep the federal government from interfering in every phase of Americans lives. The Bill of Rights is discussed, and below are the Rights: 1. Freedom of speech; 2. Freedom of the press; 3. Freedom of assembly; 4. Freedom to petition the federal government; S. Right to a trial by jury; 6. To be safe in our homes from search and seizure without a warrant; and nowhere Ts found the second article of the Bill of Rights the right to own and bear arms. The Bill of Rights is enlarged to mean, in these books as Civil Rights, a means of preserving democracy. There are lengthy discussions on the Ku Klux Klan, a rampant racism, and the horrendous problems of the minorities. None of the joy, the Christian ethic, settling of the West and bravery and fortitude of the men and women who settled in the remote regions of our great country. These men and women made America prosperous J)y tilling the fertile land, building homes and progressing to phenomenal affluence. such as had never been seen before. None of this is being taught to the children who read these books. And NEA has planned it this way. When the American people are so divided, as for example on one of many issues some insisting government must give more and others insisting government must take less it stands to reason that any candidate who achieves unity by satisfying both sides is then bound to cause disunity when elected by not being able to satisfy either side, let alone both sides. For government cannot give more to the people without taking more from the people. were rich 1 co-spons- or C) BUY AND DISTRIBUTE EXTRA COPIES OF THE UTAH INDEPENDENT 25C 1 UNIFYING CANDIDATE, DIVIDING OFFICIAL UNIONIZATION Washington: In all my years lawyers, in public office, I have not heard a and bankers merchants, planters, proposal more ludicrous than the business men, who wrote these one to allow unionization of the Articles to protect their own armed forces, Senator Jake Garn property from the claims of the (R-U- t) said today.
