Show ! Congressman W. K. Granger Visits Here, To Inspect Pilot Knob Dam Project Congressman Walter K. Granger Grang-er spent several days this week in Cedar City, attending to business bus-iness matters and visiting with friends. He left today for Arizona where, he with other members of a Congressional committee, will study the proposed Pilot Knob dam project, which is under controversy con-troversy because of the fact that it may jeapordlze the rights to waters of the Colorado river. Mr. Granger arrived in Salt Lake City Friday, and delivered the keynote address at the Salt Lake Democratic convention held at the Newhouse hotel Saturday. Queried as to whether President Harry S. Truman would seek reelection, re-election, Congressman Granger stated that he had no Idea whatsoever what-soever as to what the President's plans in this respect were. He stated that only last week he talked with the President on political po-litical matters, but that he was as much in the dark as to the President's intentions after the conversation as he was before. The Congressman voiced the opinion that Senator Robert A. Taft would win the Republican party nomination for the presidency, presi-dency, because his political philosophy more nearly agrees with that of the major portion of the party leaders. "The Republi-can Republi-can party generally opposes international in-ternational cooperation, and General Elsenhower is a long ways from the party line in this respect." Congressman Granger expects to return to Cedar City for a few days before returning to Washington Wash-ington near the first of the month.' |
