Show i Page Eight FRIDAY. FEBRUARY 26, 1965 . Magazine Says President Has Wide Backing of Big Business A U.S. News and World Report Magazine survey has found that Lyndon B. Johnson apparently has more backers among U.S. businessmen than anyother Democratic president in modern times. Results of the survey are published in the Feb. 22 issue. Among reasons cited for the widespread backing among the businessmen are: Business is enjoying record prosperity, Profits, over all, have never been so high. Companies have gotten a sizeable share of tax cuts. Corporate tax rates now are lowest in 15 years. President Johnson is said to be going out of his way to be nice to business. Many businessmen feel there is now a partnership between business and government that woudl not have been possible under President Kennedy or by their importance in solving the primary problems of our society. Joel Hunter, President of Crucible Steel Co.: I have confidence in the President. I think he comes closer to understanding the economic facts of life than any President we have had in many years. Lammont du Pont Copeland, President of E. T. du Pont de Nemours & Co.: I have the distinct impression that President Johnson is friendly to business and to labor. A president can be friendlyto both and it is to the best interests of the nation that this is so. Charles G. Mortimer, chairman of General Foods: I have been especially pleased by his consistent recognition that this is a business country, that business is what makes the mare go in the U.S. and by the significant steps he has already taken to improve the business President Truman.

Moss has joined in Senate sponsorship of legislation which would help guarantee the people's right to know the facts of their Government. Under the legislation a Federal public records law would be established which would also permit court enforcement of freedom of information for the public. The public ' records section would require every agency of the Federal Government to make all its records promptly available to any person. Eight categories of sensitive information are protected from disclosure under the law. These areas range over defense and foreign policy secrets, information specifically protected under other laws, trade secrets and investigatory files used in law enforcement. The proposed Federal public records law would permit individuals seeking information to file suit in a U.S. District Court which would have authority to order production of improperly withheld records. The Court is granted power to punish agency officials with contempt proceedings for failure to comply. Senator Moss said the legislation was developed after extensive public hearings, and has gained wide support from news media. Sigma Delta Chi, the national professional journalistic society, has for many years campaigned for remedial legislation (D-Uta- h) . opening up official files. Senator Moss joins 26 other Senators and Representatives in sponsoring the legislation in both houses of Congress. Mountain States Telephone Co. Names Advisor Elloyd T.
