That is the key question in five cases that have come before the g to-b- done especially while Congress is in session If Mr Eisenhower is seeking reassurance on this point he is sure to receive it in the next few days in the form of letters telegrams and newspaper editorial opinion He can take it for granted that his absence from Washington will be excused for as long as the conference requires his presence U S interest in the meeting is acute Busiest backstage figure in the polio 4crisis has been Dr Chester Scott Keefer assistant secretary of health education and welfare who was directly responsible for overseeing the program Now chairman of the President’s ad- visory committee on polio he’s to get off the hook was Keefer originally planted with HEW by the American Interstate Commerce Commission in the last two years Two of these cases have been settled in favor of the truckers after original ICC recommenda- tions were reversed The other three cases are still pending on appeal f In effect ICC decisions favoring the railroads in these cases American citizenship is the highest office one can would carry out recommendations achieve Chief Justice Earl Warren said in a commence- of President EisCabiment address Once more the distinguished Californian has enhower’s net Committee on Medical Assn A high- - pow- ered public Our Highest Office happier and healthier Chief Justice Warren said that democracy is not so much' a form of government as it is the spirit of the people which is another way of saying that there are spiritual aspects to the art of being a good citizen Doctors Prescribe Exercise Old Doc Brady of The Standard-Examine- feature staff r must be saying “I told you so” as he reads the news about the arguments for exercise made by physicians and others at the American Medical Assn convention Dr Brady has been recommending exercise for all these years especially walking with somersaults for those who feel rugged enough for same and such games as bowling on the green for the elderly Actually here is nothing new in recommendations by doctors for exercise meaning exercise in moderation They have been making these recommendations for years and thy have supported programs of physical education in the schools and colleges Millions have been exposed in recent years to physical ed Taking This fact into account it is hard to understand the AMA convention assertions that American youngsters and oldsters in large number are unable to pass simple muscle tests ' Yet it must be true that Americans are in need of increased physical activity from the cradle to the grave because so many observers including the military have commented on much lack of physical fitness More people playing games should be the aim Summer is a good time to start having fun- - And remember you can always get exercise by mowing the lawn ‘ banning truck operations in these cases would "foster railroad monopoly” and protect the railroads from "legitimate competition by motor carriers” In the first of these cases January 1953 ICC denied the McCullough Transfer Co of Youngstown Ohio the right to transport bulk cement for the Federal Portland Cement Co from Hamburg N Y to four counties in Pennsylvania The reason given was that the area was already served by a short-linrailway American Trucking Assns attorneys filed a petition of intervention opposing the ICC decision ATA maintained that if this decision were extended to other similar cases it might seriously threaten the entire interstate trucking industry ICC turned down' the petition ATA lawyers then filed a bill of complaint in US District Court Cleveland ICC thereupon reopened its case In May 1954 an examiner recommended that McCullough and two other motor carriers be authorized to transport cement in bulk This case is considered so important that it is now awaiting hearing by the full Interstate e Commerce Commission New Ruling In the meantime shortly after the examiner’i reversal recommendation in the McCullough case was made public ICC issued a new ruling It said: "Complaints or protests by associations of carriers and freight forwarders' against existing or new rates charges fares rules

about an Occupation for which there are far more job openings than there are trained persons to fill them— medical social work So she put a piece in' Congressional Record to describe the field The doctor Mrs Bolton says calls upon the medical social worker to help him work with a patient when the social psychological and economic upsets connected with a patient’s illness hinder recovery A social worker attached to a hospital often can solve family problems which are worrying the patient in the hospital and delaying his recovery It often happens that a trained worker clears up the family employment or other situations which contributed to the illness causing hospitalization The United States Public Health Service" reports that 7 3500 newly trained medical social workers will be needed by 1957 This is good work for those with ai bent for it but medical social work like other professions requires special training beyond college graduation Mrs Bolton suggests that interested persons should communicate with the American Association of Medical Social Workers 1700 I St NW Washington 6 D C This is good advice (R-O- The Hells Canyon Situation When Jerome K Kuykendall became chairman of the Federal Power Commission two years ago and expressed himself in favor of private development of the power resources in Idaho’s Hells Canyon the outlook for a high federal dam in the canyon seemed dim This newspaper was among those which expressed the opinion Idaho Power Co’s request for a license to build dams there would soon be granted But the situation has changed was quoted Chairman Clinton P Anderson yesterday as predicting Jhe Senate Interior Committee will approve a bill for government construction of the Hells Canyon dam just as a already has given ap--‘ proval Committee approval will give the bill for a high federal dam a big boost toward passage as such public power advocates as Sen Wayne Morse of Oregon happily points out j The present situation Is 'more evidence in support of the theory that you never can tell what will happen in the political world but it is easy to predict that the fight is far from being ended (D-N- sub-committ- ee tained” This ruling would serve to deprive independent truck operators of the help of trade association lawyers in major cases ATA for instance does not try to represent individual truckers in rate or certificate cases But when the entire industry is involved ATA and other carrier associations intervene ATA therefore protested the new ICC rule It was suspended pending further hearing This has permitted the trucking associations to intervene in four other cases like the McCullough application They cover most of the US In the first of them-las- t year Diamond Transportation System of Racine Wis was denied authority to- transport G I Case harvester-threshe- r combines from the Case plant at Burlington la Then the ICC motor carrier division reversed the finding Diamond was allowed to truck out the deliveries Three Denials After this came three truck line application denials: In January 1955 Burns Motor Freight of Marlington W Va was denied permission to transport rough lumber to Ohio Kentucky and Georgia ICC ruled existing rail services were adequate In March ICC denied A W Schaeffer of Reyillio S D the right to haul granite from South Dakota to six states and from Vermont to 16 states In May International Transport Inc of Fargo --N D and Kenosha (Wis) Auto Transport Corp were denied authority to truck farm tractors to 44 states ICC grounds in these two cases treated as one were that "reason-- ' ably adequate” rail services were available These five cases have given the US 'trucking industry fears that the ICC is assuming it has a duty to protect the railroads from new motor

A —The new room for prayer and meditation is for individual use by members of the House and Senate No religious ceremonies are to be held there Q—How does the plum rank in food value? A — It has the highest food value of all fruits It contains 201 per cent carbohydrates or sugar which is more than is found in any other fruit QDo bears inhabit the southern hemisphere? A — The spectacled bear a rare South American species found in the Andes of Peru Ecuador and Colombia is believed to be the only true bear that lives south of the Equator nature of things temporary and therefore it is time to begin to make up our minds about a permanent settlement Our Formosa policy today consists in supporting and defending Chiang in Formosa and of containing him with- on a policy of this kind We have no right to count on it beyond in Formosa There is a time limit the life and the rule of Chiang himself The foundations of the policy are therefore fragile and insecure For we do not know who would in fact be Chiang’s successor or what would be his purposes or his relations to the mainland If we call things by their right name we must note that Chiang is a despot and that the succession to a despot is usually as in Moscow today turbulent with intrigue Yet the interests of the United States and Formosa are secured today only by our relations with Chiang On what are they to rest after Chiang goes? It is not too soon to begin clarifying the issues as we see them of a lasting settlement in Formosa Our strategic interest in Formosa is that the island shall not be the military base of an power that is to say of Red China Our political interest in Formosa is in performing our obligations of honor to the Chinese It is our to obligation provide them with a place to live where they are safe and free We have no strategic interest In holding Formosa ourselves: our interest is in the language of the military theorists to deny Formosa effectively to Red China And we have no obligation of honor or interest to do more than insure the safety and the freedom of the Chinese on Formosa We have no obligation to go to war ourselves in order to reverse the defeat they suffered in 'the Chinese civil war - Our interests and our obligations would be satisfied if Formosa became an independent state neutralized and guaranteed by the United Nations This should be I believe our Formosa policy I say for it is asking too much after all that has been said in this country about him that Chiang himself should formally agree to such a settlement It is not necessarily an impossible solution from the point of view of Red China The solution would command widespread support throughout Asia I might say that the first time I heard this solution advanced was about five years ago and by an Indian diplomat of the first rank un-friend- lv anti-Commun- self-governi- post-Chian- g post-Chian- g 6 Years Ago the first time in the color- 10 For ful annals of the historic fete a night parade on July 19 will usher in the 1945 celebration of Ogden Pioneer Days City Harold L Welch announced The parade was to be repeated at 10 am on July 24 "Get back of your officers get back of your judges and do everything possible to curtail crime" J C Newman special agent ad-in charge of the FBI in Utah vised members of the Kiwanis Com-mission- er Club Getting off to a good start the Madison School summer extension program began with approximate- ly 50 youngsters enrolled and more were expected to be on hand by the end of the week The program was for children of grade school age whose parents were working 20 Years Ago vice presiDavid S 50 Years Ago The Ogden Savings Bank: Resources loans and discounts dent of the Chamber of Comreal estate $85729-2- 0 merce acting in the absence of $52709512 bonds and stocks $11676067 President Frank M Browning due from banks $78848239 total issued an appeal to people of Og- $89400905 Liabilities Capital den to actively join in the cele- $75000 undivided profits bration of Railroad Week June deposits $78848239 Total $89400905 — John Pingreer 11 and 12 cashier New officers for the Gleaner Girls of the LDS Mount Ogden Notice was given that Dewey Stake included Verda Stewart of and Hal had sold their business Uintah LDS Ward president Vel- known as the Creamery Restauma Wright Seventeenth Ward rant 135 25th St to Net S Merk vice president Doris Ellison Tai Yuen and Louie Wing All Fourteenth Ward secretary outstanding accounts were to be by the former if presented A contract signed by Leo J paid before June 10 at 12 noon Creamer Big Timber Mont to furnish animals for Ogden PioDr Ezra C Rich had formed a neer Days celebration assured partnership with Dr C F Osgood Ogden of having the finest as- under the name of Drs Rich and sortment of rodeo stock in the Osgood Their offices were the United States Mayor Harman W former offices of Drs Rich and Rich over Culley’s Drug Store Peery declared Romney $30-526- 66 caiJ I® administered withjiaj jCen kept under wraps y ?i vpPathpUl i Commerce Department’s but the nSi t Hnn P I a JllWtii ill thTLSfn lv ?ny C?J new dePuty undersecretary Brig fit Gen Thomas B Wilson has gone What body around th I the doctors hope to do is to de- velop a serum that can be simply injeS kroa' Adlai Will Run It was no accident that a rash stories came out of Washing- ton and Chicago recently that Ad- lai Stevensen would definitely run again As early as April 20 this column quoted Adlai’s son Bor- den that his father would run But the recent rash came frpm Stevenson’s law partner and made lush k the b‘ e?“ioi since the day ea P fr-ez- nH fiv it was touched off by a Portu- firm called Atlantic guese which threatened to bring sensa-o- f tional corruption charges against Wilson in connection with a $3 500000 lawsuit The comparty is suing the U S government for canceling a tungsten contract U S government agents chased all over Europe investigating the corruption charges They finally dug up proof that the whole story it clear that whether Eisenhower was a fantastic blackmail plot runs or not Stevenson will and cleared Wilson’s name in Various other Democratic can- -
