And much credit belongs to Junius R Tribe and his committee for their remarkable promotion of the production By building up the advertisaudience they have developed the ing which will contribute to increased attendance at future performances The annual performances of “All Faces West” are among the finer things that Ogden does and the community Is entitled to be proud of the contributions and accomplishments represented therein word-of-mout- h For the Cure of Formitis A Hoover Commission tax force says the government can save millions by adopting the recommendations made for a reduction of paper work Every person who has worked in government or for a corporation with nationwide activities will not doubt the statement Yet every ' person experienced in this field will acknowledge that it is a mighty hard task to bring about curtailment of paper work and a reduction in the number of forms Furthermore even if reform is brought about in paper work the reform will not last unless a watchdog is placed on guard of what some people call “formto prevent the re-grow- th itis” Growth of paper work is usually caused by good tentions at headquarters Those responsible for accounting for funds or for the performance of work ask for increasing amounts of information on a variety of forms in their eagerness sometimes frenzy to know what is going on Often it is easier to add a new form or ask for additional copies than to figure out how the identical information can be obtained with less paper work in- The Communist Underground J Edgar Hoover director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation informs Attorney General Brownell that FBI agents are finding it harder to detect Communist underground conspirators in this country There is a cheerful aspect to this news and that is that if Mr Hoover’s clever agents have trouble finding party offices or meeting places so do possible candidates for party membership The best days for the Communists in the United States were the days when they were a wide open party holding advertised public meetings and denouncing capitalism and its products on street corners So the argument that driving the party underground would not hurt the party never was valid While some types of individuals are attracted to a clandestine organiption the persons the Reds are most desirous of signing up usually dislike to be associated in furtive activities We suspect that if any of the underground Red activities attain a size to do much damage to our nation Mr Hoover and his agents will have the situation under control A worker today needs to know more than a typical worker of a few years ago He needs to have mastery of more complex skills Relatively ‘more is required of his brain relatiyely less of his muscles — Wilbur F Murra assistant secretary of the National Education Association We covet nothing We merely want to live in peace with all the world to trade with men to commune with them to learn from their cultures as they may learn from ours — President Eisenhower ) - Q WASHINGTON— If all goes well history will probably record the Summit meeting at Geneva as the moment when President Eisenhower first strongly asserted his personal leadership in forThe question eign is simply whether the President will follow his own creative inclinations or will stick to the official administration line t Until the very moment when the American delegation for Geneva the official approach to the Summit continmeeting ued to be extremely negative —at lleast every level below the White House lsoo Immense Joseph level numbers of “position papers” were laboriously prepared But essentially the aim was to prevent anything awful happening at the Summit rather than to make something good happen there Most of the position papers took the form: ‘If the Soviets make move A concerning Germany then we must make move B to secure a checkmate” Furthermore the decision was taken to try to avoid talking about one of the two vast problems that are the real keys to any true international settlement and to avoid taking any solid American position whatever on the other DEMANDS DECISIONS On any honest assessment all European and all economic questions pale into insignificance when compared with the question of disarmament The Far East is the place where international communism is on the march today and there can be no real world settlement until it is known where this onward march will be finally halted Disarmament above all demands decisions about the absolute weapons and there can be no end of the fear that haunts the world until the world knows what is to be done about the Yet the aim of Secretary of State John Foster Dulles and the other official policy makers is not to discuss the Far Eastern question at Geneva if it is possible to dodge doing so In the preparatory meetings the British and French were requested to cooperate in this policy of silence They agreed somewhat reluctantly By the same token for weeks before the President’s departure for Geneva the administration row was riven by a first-clas- s about the right approach to the disarmament question The Pentagon (which means the Joint Chiefs of Staff for Secretary of Defense Charles E Wilson has not interested himself in the matter) is undyingly opposed to a serious disarmament effort The disarmament talks that have taken place to date have aroused no Pentagon opposition because they were thought to be meaningless But the Pentagon is up in arms now because serious disarmament talks seem to be a possibility sfSSEN FOUGHT HARD On the other side of the battle Harold Stassen whom the President has charged with' personal responsibility as the American disarmament policy maker fought long hard and obstinately for permission to take his disarmament plan to Geneva as the American government’s plan It is a bold plan although it is perhaps not sufficiently worked out in detail At any rate the State Department took the stand that Stassen’s homework was not finished and this tilted the balance against Stassen As a result a British disarmament plan is being taken to Geneva and so is a Soviet plan but no American plan is being taken there It is even doubtful whether Stassen himself will be permitted to play a Geneva role To his bitter chagrin he was not included in the oficial delegation He left for Paris as an “unofficial observer” with the question still open whether Paris would or would not be his final stopping place All sorts of indications have been seeping out of the White House however that this extremely negative approach by no means suits President Eisenhower’s current mood It is clear in fact that the President would like to talk turkey with the Soviets if the Soviet leaders show the slightest sign of wanting to talk turkey with him So far the Soviets have shown al sorts of signs of wanting to talk turkey with Eisenhower The inclusion of his friend Marshal Zhukov in their delegation is only one of these signs Continual hints have been dropped in Moscow in fact about the extreme desirability of informal and private contact between the President and the Soviet chiefs Meanwhile the President’s inclination to try to do business with the Russians has also been considerably strengthened by the report of 'Charles E Bohlen Bohlen has stated that the Russians really do want some sort of settlement or relaxation of tensions not so much because of crippling inner weaknesses in the Russian system but because the Soviet leaders have also looked down the dark perspective and have opened by the been terrified by what they saw policy-makin- Ma- YesEscy Russians Talk Turkey Will Ike?

BURROUGHS Poor Planning Cost Homeowners Extra Money By ROBERT CROMPTON County Reporter A group of Weber County property owners proved their perse- verance recently when without help they raised $17025 for a water system to serve their homes But to Robert (Bob) Tucker Weber County Planning Commission chairman the case in point was a classical example of poor county planning Over 80 property owners in an area south of Washington Terrace 4800 to 5200 South 500 and Streets West to 350 East Streets found themselves without either water or with contaminated ter during past years wa- the of couple there did not iworry about won’t again if stoves “This than their oxygen supply “You give little thought about your water supply” said Tucker “until you haven’t got it” There were shallow wells in the area that seemed to the home builders to provide all the water needed and cesspools could be dug to handle waste Two things doomed their water supply First a tile drainage project at nearby Washington Terrace sucked many of the wells dry And second as the population increased in !the area and more septic tanks and cesspools were put in and some well became dangerously contaminated Over 50 families who had invested large sums in new homes found themselves distantly removed from one of the first necessities of life— water And when they contacted the county commissioners state and federal agencies

fire protection and street Tucker says so improvements the value of their property will not rapidly depreciate and for their comfort and health In the 1952 subdivision ordinance of Weber County the responsibility for these basic improvements were pinned onto the subdivider the person who divides a large tract into lots for sale TO MEET REQUIREMENTS Now before he can sell hisTand in lots a subdivider must insure standard street improvements adequate sewage disposal pure water supplies fire protection and a good design in residential projects “Better neighborhoods safer homes and more permanent property values are the result” Tucker claims “With the present standards and requirements of the subdivision ordinance carried out the taxpayers of Weber County are protected from subsidizing private developers and the home owner is assured of vital basic improvements” Also Ogden City and other county communities are indirectly benefitted by the improvements When new areas are annexed the city gains an asset rather than a liability Ambitions" Almost everyone I know of entertains a secret yearning and no matter what their status it is deep within them burnfor the purpose of
