Show I The Utah iT ;h Air Space Problems Discussed With Gov. Clyde Last Week u.citr The air space problem current- A Weekly Newspaper Devoted to Good Government Salt Lake City, Utah Vol. II; No. 51 Ezra Benson Featured In The Post Friday, December 20, 1957 MISS AMERICA URGES BOI GIFTS t 'The Miseries of JSlder Benson is the title of a feature article appearing in the December 21st issue of THE SATURDAY EVENING POST, on sale this week. In brain power and training, the article ranks the Utahn among the mo9t able men who have occupied his office. Friends describe r him as one of the most pious and firm principled men they have ever known. . All this, however, does not explain how a frugal advocate of free enterprise such as Ezra Taft Benson has been shoveling out our tax 'dollars by the billions with out apparent results, the article observes. himself a Benson set up indiscriminately with little or no regard to the needs of the general public. Civil avation officials are quick to point out that, realizing the paramount importance of air defense to the country, they are willing to work out a reasonable program, which would give due regard to everyone's needs. Thus far 112 restricted air areas have been established in seven Western states, curtailing and inhibiting expansion of air activity, commercial and private, in the ly facing the Western states, and particularly Utah, was the subject of a briefing session in the State Capitol last week, With Gov. George D. Clyde receiving information on the situation from Utah aemautics men. An aviation subcommittee appointed by the Salt Lake City Chamber of Commerce, and headed by Dale Pejak, United Airlines Executive, briefed the States Chief Executive on the implications of the problem and its current scope. Working with Mr. Peak in an effort to acquaint the public with the dangers incident to military air space grabs have been Harlan Bement, chairman of the Utah State Aeronautics Commission; C. Hellberg, Manager of Thompson Flying Service, Thomas Carter, President of the Interstate Motor Corp.; and S. R. Kedding-to- n, Salt Lake businessman. The basis of the problem is the attempt of the military to define the area which may be used for commercial and private airplane use. The attempt has resulted in caution zones being set up. and West. Utahs Congressional delega- tion is working on the problem, trying to reach some compromise between the military and civil avaiation officials. The importance of aviation to the economic future of the state demands that attention be given to the problem before it is to late. Expansion of commercial airlines in the Western area is something the state has long desired. Such expansion cannot result if restricted areas preclude commercial utilization of the air in this vicinity.

Too often in the past, Utah communities have only thought of agriculture, manufacturing and mining in their economic development plans, Mr. Cannon said, He added that tourism offers the greatest promise to most Utah towns. For example, the U.S. Department of Commerce reports: If the community can attract a couple of dozen tourists a day throughout the year, it would be economically comparable to acquiring a new manufacturing industry with an annual payroll of $100,000. . n clutures share of the national in. come. - |
