Show THE OGDEN (UTAH) 6A Buoyed up by the Senate’s approval of the Upper Colorado River Basin storage project Sen Arthur V Watkins of Utah expresses his conviction that House approval of the program also will take place Taking into account the Utah lawmaker’s skill in predicting what Congress will do it would seem that the people of the upper basin states are entitled to rejoice over the outlook It is far better than it was even a few weeks ago It is no secret that there was talk the supporters of the project would have to abandon the Echo Park dam site in order to save the rest of the program The Senate’s 3 vote of the bill with Echo Park in it is evidence of the change of sentiment that has occurred since Sen Watkins produced documentary proof that dam sites were withdrawn for project purposes before Dinosaur National Monument was extended If dirt really flies on the project before this year ends as the Senator believes it will the start of the project will be hailed as the beginning of a new era for the region of which Utah Colorado Arizona and New Mexico are a part The laqnching of the project to harness the Colorado’s upper reaches will come none too soon The water and power will be needed long before they are ready for dis1 58-2- Security System Looms tribution Questions for Fourth Grade John C Crowe of Los Angeles believes there was no juvenile delinquency problem 75 years ago because boys ‘and girls were so busy undergoing the heavy school program of the good old days they had no time or energy for mischief In a letter to Los Angeles Times he gives some of the questions he says were asked of fourth graders in the Lincoln Grammar School San Francisco in 1880 as follows: Mental arithmetic: 81 is 920 of what number? Add 89 and V4 In 12 rods are how many yards? Grammar: What is case? Write a single sentence in which each case is represented Geography: Give the direction length source and outlet of the Mississippi River U S history: In what administrations did the following events take place? (1) Purchase of Louisiana (2) The Aaron Burr conspiracy (3) Removal of funds from the National Bank It seems a rather stern set of questions for fourth graders but we believe that the boys and girls of today can handle them as well as the pupils of 75 years ago Mr Crowe doesn't tell us how many out of a class room couldn’t answer accurately We suspect a majority couldn’t obtain passing marks Mr Crowe is probably an old codger lacking children or grandchildren He thinks the good old days are best and that children long ago received more “book learning” than they do today If he had children and grandchildren he would discover from observing them how well and quickly they are taught and how much they know Red Satellites Are Colonies Sir John Kotelawala Ceylon prime minister delivered a stunning blow to the Communist propagandists when he told the conference that Communist colonialism is just as bad as any other colonialism" A satellite is a colony he declared and he is right of course It assuredly is time that the term satellite be dropped in favor of colony for the educational effect the switch wil have on the peoples in the countries which have an intense hatred for colonialism It is related that the Chinese Communist leader Chou En-Lwas angered by the Ceylon official’s calling a spade a spade There is good reason for his reaction The Red Chinese talk smugly of “liberating” this or that people from the “imperialists” and “war mongers” but instead of liberating people the Communists intend to put them into colonial status Asians who have only recently emerged from a colonial condition are going to be more suspicious than ever of Red maneuvers now that one of their own leaders has warned them that Communist colonialism is as bad x as any other kind Asian-Africa- n ai No Depositor Suffered Loss We were interested in a statement from The Federal Deposit Insurance Corp relating that the agency in 1954 had to protect the depositors of only two failed banks Total deposits amounted only to $990283 No depositor suffered a loss The fact there were only two bank failures in an entire year testifies to the healthy economic conditions prevailing The FDIC says improved bank supervision is a factor also which doubtless is true What with the confidence engendered by the insuring of bank deposits and the improved bank supervision the time is bound to come when a bank failure will be a rarity Every person who has experienced a community bank failure will hail the day In the 21 years of FDIC the agency has paid out 330 million dollars to protect depositors and has recovered all but T9 million dollars of that amount Taking into account the confidence built up in our economic system and the gain in peace of mind the cost has been puny

at one point testified that Taylor passed her documents and at another point she testified that she had never met Taylor Miss Bentley’s testimony may of course prove substantially entirely accurate and Taylor guiltv as charged There is no doubt that Communist sty nets did indeed operate in the government during the war Because informers like Miss Bentley have been useful in establishing this fact there are fierce pressures to suppress all challenges to their veracity Justice Department officials including Brownell have come precious close to taking the ridiculous and profoundly position that anyone who would cast doubt on the must word of an be part of a Communist nlot The best commentary on this nonsense was supplied bv Brownell’s own action last week in firing the Justice Department’s whole e collection of’ professional informers But iust because Miss Bentley’s testimony has been so important and because Brownell himself is committed on Taylor's guilt the pressures
