Show Page Two THE SALT LAKE TIMES FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 2, 1968 Salt Laker to Speak At Linen Congress Everyone hears so much about withdrawal these days not the have who Hippies just opted to withdraw from society but at the highest levels of officialdom, that it is easy to wonder if the nation is not afflicted by some form of national malady. The least important of the many withdrawals we are hearing more and more about these days are those involving the would be presidential hopeful politicians, but the politicking . has barely begun. The presidential election year 1968 is only a month old. Yet, largely as a result of his troubled, lackluster campaign, even the staunchest supporters of Michigans ambitious Governor George Romney are being heard to speculate openly that he will decide to withdraw from the contest for the Republican presidential nomination. New Yorks liberal GOP Sen. Javits says that he will back that states Gov. Rockefeller for President if Romney decides he has no chance of winning the presidential nomination with if he withdraws. Romney himself says hes in the race to stay but obviously he will have to quit the race if his campaign continues to run poorly, if only to give supporters timel to boom another nominee. Ironically, at the same time, supporters of front running contender Richard Nixon are also quite frank in saying that he would withdraw from the contest if he failed to win the first key preconvention primary elections. Nixon has entered those contests less for the delegates involved than to disprove the uneasy Nixon cant win feeling among Republicans. Democrats are experiencing a similar problem. Vietnam War doves supporting Minnesota Sen. McCarthy for the Democratic presidential nomination against President Lyndon Johnson are growing uneasy. They fear that the articulate McCarthy failure to spark widespread response will force him to withdraw from challenging LBJs renomination long before the nominating Convention. This would put new pressure on Sen. Robert Kennedy to seek the nomination, but Kennedy has not only long since withdrawn from actively opposing Johnsons renomination. He would be less likely to try to succeed since the risks are too great, if McCarthy had failed to stir a ripple. On the other hand, if McCarthy pulls an unexpected surprise and should win the preconvention primaries in which he is, in effect, challenging the President talk that the President might withdraw from renomination speculation would grow. Af-- . ter all, President Harry Truman decided against seeking another term during the Korean War after losing the first in the nation New Hampshire primary to underdog Sen. Estes Kefauver in 1952 and withdraw from of. problems, such as poverty and racism at home. The second argues that Europe and Latin America are areas of more immediate concern than Asia and that we have neglected growing problems in those areas by becoming bogged down in Vietnam. In any- - event, each has the same goal U.S. withdrawal from Asia. Those opposing U. S. with-drafrom Vietnam also come in two groups. One, while opposing a U.S. role as World Policeman feels we cannot run out, or withdraw from our commitments, and while the Vietnam doves believe the U. S. should withdraw from Asia to strengthen our position in the wars hawks argue increasingly that we should also withdraw from more of our commitments in Europe, NATO, etc. to bolster our military strength in Vietnam. Growing national debate over U.S. withdrawal from one half the world or the other worries each. Europe, riding high on prosperity, fears it will have to tighten its belts, raise defense spending and face renewed Cold War threats from Russia if the U.S. withdraws. And in the end Vietnam, DeGaulle or the U.S. gold loss may force U.S. withdrawal from Europe anyway. Our Asian Allies are equally uneasy.

Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. He has particiin pated Boy Scout work for many years, progressing from Eagle Scout to Scoutmaster. A monk named Dionysius Exiguus introduced the custom of reckoning time by counting the years from the birth of Jesus Christ. But he made a mistake of four to six years in calculating the date. By about 1400, however, his method was in general use throughout Christian countries.

Wise, District Director of Internal Revenue for Utah. For individual taxpayers, the tax account number is the Social Security number. Business firms are required to report to IRS dividends or interest of $10 or more paid to anyone during a calendar year. The information returns, Forms 1099, are compared by computer with individual income tax returns to see if income is reported in the full amount. Firms must also furnish a statement of total payments for the year to persons receiving dividends and interest amounting to $10 or more. .
