Show THE SALT LAKE TIMES Page Eleven FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 13, 1970 Bennett Calls for Overhaul of GATT Sen. Wallace F. Bennett has called for overhaul of a major agreement governing international trade and implementation of a tax incentive program to encourage U.S. firms to export their products. The Senator, ranking Republican on the Banking and Currency Committee, said world trade today faces a crisis" and that conditions warrant extensive modification" of the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT) which was negotiated in 1947.

From Americas standpoint, the need for a change is illustrated in the shift of our balance of payments as since 1950, our cumulative deficit has climbed to $45 billion, while our short term liabilities have increased from $8 billion to $42 billion. In the same period, our gold stock has dropped from $24 billion to $11 billion." Sen. Bennett made the remarks in a speech delivered before the International Fiscal Assn. The Utah lawmaker also has amounts of time, effort and material, and identify disease causing bacteria much more quickly thus allowing more rapid diagnosis and treatment. The procedure is based on the fact that different bacteria have different carbohydrate patterns, depending upon which sugars are able to use for metabolism and growth. The fermentation process is initiated by placing a sample of bacteria in a liquid medium with a specific sugar and containing a red dye that turns yellow in the presence of acid then waiting to see whether or not the bacteria break down the sugar. If they do they will give off acid and gas or waste products of the metabolic process. Is the new method as reliable as the old? Dr. Fung has run tests, inoculating 25 different bacterial species into 12 different carbohydrate enriched media using both his and the old method. The results were the same in both methods. pushed the Domestic International Sales Corp. (DISC) plan now before Congress as a vehicle for the U. S. Government to use in encouraging exports. The DISC is designed to neutralize the present tax deferral advantage available to those manufacturing and selling overseas through foreign corporations rather than through export," he said. The DISC concept holds that a domestic corporation engaged in export may obtain tax deferral for profits thus earned so ing and selling abroad through long as this income is used in foreign corporations rather than exporting to those manufactu- - through export, he said. A Real Test At this time, the archive includes 47 bound volumes of field notes. The originals are in the Special Collections Division of Utah State University at Logan and two working copies are in the library of the investigators for use in their writing and research. In addition to notes, books and monographs, the husband wife team has accumulated hundreds of photos illustrating aspects of living in the frontier era of the Great Basin. Organization and indexing the photographic collection will be made possible by the grant. The NEH grant will provide the Fifes an opportunity to prepare more material for publication in journals, adding to an Urban Technical Assistance Program Appoints Official The Urban Technical Assistance Frogram (UTAP) has announced appointment of David Johnson, 7633 South 13th East, Midvale, as its director. UTAP is a project to provide training for its citizens who are members of the Neighborhood Councils in Community Action and Model Cities areas, citizen advisory committees and project task forces such as those in the Model Cities.

Each of these groups, eleven in all, has named a voting representative and an alternate to the group. impressive number of books and articles already in print. The former head of the USU Department of Languages and Philosophy has recently been involved in developing and in teaching a quarterly course in folklore. The Policy Committee has the assistance of a technical advisory committee of educators and experienced members of civic organizations to develop a model of training which will meet the needs of the people whose representatives make up the policy committee. The project began in July, its organizational period is now complete with the appointment of Mr. Johnson. During this time the UTAP project has had help and consultation from Community Services County, Salt Lake Area. Mr. Johnson will maintain the project office with Community Services Council at 2025 Council Way for the immediate future and the Community services Council will continue to serve in a consultative role. Mr. Johnson is a life long resident of Salt Lake County. His wife Ruth and 4 sons share his interest in community concerns. He has been an active member of the Mental Health Committee of the Union School PTA, member of the Executive Committee of Community Action Program Board of Trustees and most recently has served as chairman of the South County Community Council, Inc., which is to become the first area council organized under Community Action Program to incorporate and become an independent group and serve as a delegate agency of the CAP. This Fall, Plan & Plant Your Spring Celebration As the days grow short in burnished Autumn, it may take a conscious effort to think of of Springtime flowers such as tulips, hyacinths and daffodils. After all, each season holds its pleasures and those of the Fall are to be cherished. Yet, the seasons flow by at a deceptive pace that seems to quicken with' each passing Winter. And that is why a little Spring and effort .and forethought are needed if you're planning a Spring celebration next year. g Dutch For bulbs must be planted in the Fall. However, the effort required is mainly of the will. The planting is easy. In fact, Dutch bulb planting is very probably the easiest form of gardening. And depending on your ambitions and the size of the. landscaping job to be done, only a matter of hours need be devoted to planting. Then, once the bulbs are in the ground (before the first heavy frost) and positioned where you want them, all thats left is a good watering and faith in the truth that tjjne and nature will do the rest.
