Show Pace 2 THE UTAH STATESMAN Utah Guard To Have Special Plates Why We Lag in Missiles Commission. Five thousand distinctive plates are now being manufactured by the license plate plant at the Utah State Prison. The plates will carry the inscription National Guard. They are being issued for the first time in 1958. Maxwell E. Rich, Adjutant General of Utah, announced the new plate will allow Guardsmen to cross lines maintained in case of riot, disorder or attack, and will mark vehicles which may be commandeered in case of an emergency. The new license plates will also provide an incentive to join the National Guard. Special arrangements for obtaining the new style plates have been set up for Guardsmen, according to Gen. Rich. After an individual Guardsman has paid his automobile property tax, he may take the tax verification slip, registration card and fees to his local National Guard state headquarters, then to the State Capitol and the plates will be mailed to the Guardsman. These arrangements have been made as a convenience to Guardsmen, and as a control measure in issuing the plates. The 1958 license plates will be available after Dec. 15. .

Ruess (Wis.), George M.
