Show THE SALT LAKE TIMES FRIDAY, MARCH 18, 1966 Page Two Public Health Service Issues New Warning L By now, President Lyndon B. Johnson and his concensus T--or effort to reach broad agreement have become' synonymous. While every President has sought the broadest possible, support for his policies, it is generally, conceded that LBJ has become a master at the art. Or is he? , .Suddenly, the Presidents concensus has been splitting at the seams at the worst possible time when the country is at war and the President is trying feverishly to avoid being trapped by the old political maxim that he who tries to please everyone, ends up pleasing no one. The Vietnam war is a perfect case in point. Traditionally,- a President enjoys his broadest support whenever the country is at war and politics- stops at the waters edge, etc.-- and President Johnson continues to receive support from some 65 per cent of the country, according to the latest polls, for his policies in Vietnam. However,, Americans have also never, been more divided over whether they should continue to prosecute a war. al-wa- ys , - - , Even the Korean War, which also divided the country, did not divide Americans on the issue of whether the war should have been fought at all. There was never any argument, picketing, . draft protests, etc. as there is over Vietnam that the United States should withdraw and risk leaving the country to the Communists. The Korean War disunity was over whether or not General MacArthurs more vigorous strategy should .have been followed. It seems ironic, too, that a critics President so identified with obsessed consensus, say should have as much disunity in his own political party as President Johnson has been experi- encing. As in the case of the war in Vietnam, the President continues to enjoy the support of the vast majority of the members of his own party and of Democrats in the House and Senate. But at the same time, never has a Presidents own party been as divided against his policies. Moreover, it is a precarious disunity which contains the seeds of even greater disintegration. Most of the Southerners supporting the Presidents Vietnam war policies oppose his civil rights and other liberal measures, while most of the Northern liberals opposing the war, support his Great Society domestic legislation. President Johnson could find himself in really serious trouble if the Republicans manage to develop policies or a presidential candidate able to exploit the schizoDemocratic partys phrenia, at the same time the President is also coming under increasing attack from the Kennedy wing of his party. The President is also losing the bipartisan support he has enjoyed from many Republicans, including former President Eisenhower and Senate Republican leader Everett Dlrksen, as ihe congressional election campaign approaches and the President knows that the 1968 presidential campaign will actually begin as soon as the congressional- elecand balloting for Govtions has ernor in five major states ended this November. From then on, Republicans can be expected to become in , - .

Tree farming, Websters International calls it a systematic production of conservation and reforestation designed to ensure continuous commercial production of timber, has caught the fancy of farmer and industrial forest owner alike. Beginning in 1941 with a mere 120.000 acres the American Tree Farm System, as the Silver Anniversary year began, recorded 29,381 certified tree farms with 66,780,061 acres. The na- tions first tree farm was dedi- cated in June, 1941, in Grays Harbor County, Wash., and will be rededicated May 21 as another feature of the anniversary year. Every acre is privately owned, tax paying forest land dedicated to multilple use management. This means first of all it is dedicated to growing repeated crops of tree harvest. A tree farm is forest land managed for additional benefits including soil and water conservation, wildlife habitat, forage at the forest edge and scenic beauty. Tree farming feeds the nation demand for wood for more than 5.000 products in daily use. The American Tree Farm System, as the raw material source, is part of the forest industry, the nations fourth largest which supplies five per cent of the gross national product, employs 1.5 million persons and pays them $7 billion annually in wages and . salaries for producing $29.3 billion worth of goods annually. Decrease Reported In Came Arrests The annual report of arrests for 1965 covering fish and game law violations has been issued by the Department of Fish and Game. The figures show a slight decrease in the total number of arrests and the amount of money collected in fines. The average fine, however, was higher than the previous four years. One: or more arrest is shown for 65 different types of violations, although a major portion of the total arrests are accounted for under five types of violations. Total arrests for 1965 were 1,792 with a total fine of $44,-88- 9 for an average fine of $20. The most frequently violated laws in 1965 were tagging violations, 317; carrying a loaded gun in a vehicle, 200; shooting migratory birds after hours, 144; overlimits of fish, 134; fishing without a license, 126. Among the arrests were 224 juvenile cases. failure have their origin before the students arrive on campus. The Scholastic Standards Committee is comprised of 18 members appointed by the University president, and includes the Director and Assistant Director of Scholastic Probation as ex-offic- io members. In addition to the prevention of academic difficulty, the Committee also enforces minimum scholastic requirements and acknowledges outstanding academic work performed by individual students or student organizations. The Committees annual report praised the administration and faculty of the University for its consistent support of high academic standards. |
