"The historic value of the monument will be further enhanced by the State with the erection of a historic Pioneer Village which the transfer would make possible. Since the land will be used for a historic monument, under existing law the State should not have to pay for the transfer.

A grant of $50,495 has been awarded to the University of Utah by the American Cancer Society to explore how proteins are synthesized in various kinds of living tissue. r The grant was awarded to Dr. LeRoy Kuehl, assistant professor of biochemistry at the two-yea- College of Medicine. Announcement of the research award was made by Dr. Wallace L. Chambers, president of the Utah Division, American Cancer Society. Dr. Kuehls study is aimed at trying to determine the location inside the cells where certain proteins are synthesized and ultimately to find the role played by the cell nucleus in this process. He uses radioactive protein particles injected into laboratory rats to study the rate of protein synthesis and the sites inside the cells where this takes place. Previous research by Dr. Kuehl has been concerned mainbe ly with liver tissue, but will into the under grant expanded clude muscle and certain tumor cells. biochemist is The a native of Alaska and a graduate of Iowa State University.

The report selected Alcan ar the number one prospect because: the. firms operating rate on primary production should increase sharply over the 1968 pro duction levels: the company is one of the lowest cost ingot producers in the industry; and the company should participate in the world growth in aluminum demand to a greater extent than most domestic producers. Alcan is the international aluminum firm par excellence. d according to Dean Witter. in Montreal, Alcan has its pricipal bases of operation in North America and the Caribbean. With its major production facilities in the relatively small Canadian market, the company is the worlds exporter of aluminum, finding its best markets in the United States, the United Kingdom, West Germany, and Japan, the report said.

"Shortages in raw materials faced by most West Coast plywood producers have already created problems of crisis proportions affecting builders and contractors throughout the country, said James R. Turnbull, executive vice president of the ' plywood association. Now abnormal weather has further complicated the industrys effort to keep plywood moving to market. The current plywood shortage has been building for some time due to a variety of factors: 1. Log export volume rose from 311 million board feet in 1962 to more than 2.4 billion board feet i nl968, helping force log prices to record heights. Douglas fir log bids in 1962 av- eraged $24.80 a thousand board feet; bidders averaged $41.70 a thousand in 1967, and that, $59.90 a thousand, in the third quarter of 1968. Some recent sales have averaged as much as $165 a thousand. 2. Curbs on export of logs from federal land in 1968 stimulated panic buying by Japanese interests at the same time the United States was experiencing a re: surgence in homebuilding. 3.
