more than anything else"

Bennett, King Close
In Utah Senate Race

Lines are clearly drawn. Utah
is asked to turn right with the
incumbent Senator Bennett, oi
left with Kennedy man, Mr.
King. Its conservatism against
radicalism to Republicans, ano
progress VS.. obstructionism tc
Democrats.
The candidates, both Nor
mons, appeal in different ways
to their fellow churchmen - 81
per cent of the electorate.
Mr.. King has some surface
| handicaps. Mormons are dedi-
Gated to the idea that individ-
uals care for themselves and
their own, and, if they fail, they
are a church responsibility. The
Kennedy Democrat must square
this theology with Federally-
aided social programs.
But he touches a responsive
chord on school aid. More high
school graduates in Utah go to
college than in any other State
and Utahans are worried about
deteriorating plants and under
paid teachers.
History sides with the man
tugging the load uphill, not
with those who make fun OF
him as he tugs" Mr.. King re-
minds his audiences imbued
with a Mormon balance OF
hardship and opportunity.
Mr.. King has been an Off
cial of the church, a plus over
Senator Bennett. The Con-
gresham, Dave" to almost ev-
erybody, is friendly, outgoing
and has a talent for listening
Senator Bennett, by COMPARE
son, appears cool and aloof.
The Senator seems to have
scored more politically than the
Congressman on the Cuban
blockade. On his copter junket,
he talked only of Cuba. People
asked him only about Cuba.
Mormons especially seem con-
cerned.
The Bennett position, repeat
ed again and again: THE
blockade will prevent, not trig-
ger, World War III. 1t should
have been done a year ago. We
should be prepared to support
on invasion"
Mr.. King must carry Salt Lake
City to win, and polls have
him leading. Senator Bennett
can't lose the city by much and
still carry the State.
Salt Lake Mayor J. Bracken
Lee, the anti-income tax,
anti-United Nations extremist,
who lost the primary to the
Senator, has Endorsed him. but
the impact of his support is
hard to analyze.

EPHRAIM, Utah. Oct. 81 -
Conservative Senator Wallace
Bennett, aged "a, was a specK
on Big Rock Candy Mountain
at3:45 pm.
Minutes later. his bubbletop
helicopter, whistling as it came,
cleared the plateau and dropped
onto a school playfield. Sheep
scurried from the far side OF
the fence. Boys and girls left
their games to streak toward
the machine.
Balding Senator Bennett
emerged, looking more like a
mortician than a Martian in
his black suit and black rim
glasses. He smiled, waved and
hunched along to talk to a his
tory class under the goalposts,
At Salina, grade school
Youngsters mobbed him. When
he simply talked instead OF
spouting fire, they left to ogle
the whirlybird.
He was welcomed by a band
at. Manti. People came by horse
bicycle and car. An emergency
landing at Ephraim - the oil
leaked - ended an 800-mile
copter tour through central
Utah valleys. This is Republi-
can country.
Liberal Congressman David
King, aged A, was up at 3
am. the day before. His law
student driver got him to Castle
Rock in time to shake hands
with miners as the SHIFT
changed.
He mixed on Main street at
Helper, spoke at a luncheon at
Carbon College, met a political
science class, strolled through
city and county building.
At Daggerstown in the same
Democratic county southeast
of Salt Lake. the towering Con-
gresham traded handshakes
for votes door to- door for three
hours.
He went to bed at midnight
In Provo after a 300-mile 81
hour swing.
He is the Kennedy admins
tration's most vigorous candi-
date in a triangle of States -
Utah, Wyoming and Colorado
- that went for Richard Nixon
in 1860. Neighboring Demo-
cratic Senators Carroll of Col
orado and Hickey of wyoming

Insistent on independence

Abdullah Asnag, peppery 29-
year-old labor leader who seeks
to lead the colony to inde-
pendence, says:
I'VE are determined to go all
the way to oppose it with peace
full resistance and civil dis
obedience. The struggle must
end with the British leaving
here altogether. We shall be
independent. Britain has lost
her chance to negotiate for
keeping her military base mere" !"
Mr.. Asnag, an airlines en-
ploye who formed his first
labor union at 81, heads Aden's
17,0O0-man Trades Union Con-
greSs and its Peoples Socialist
Party, by far the colony's
strongest political body. The
Congress has called $50 strikes
in three years-despite a no
strike law.
Even Alden ministers who
voted for the merger are having
second thoughts.
The pro-merger National
Union Party was trounced in
recent municipal elections. Arab
nationalists are pressing for a
referendum on the move.
British Colonial Secretary
Duncan Sandys has affirmed
Britain intends to give Alden
eventual independence through
the merger. But the merger
may be doomed and the ma
tionalistS are impatient.

G6NHE outofdoors is my life Ifyou took that away"
II For man who some days in his work, sees
more deer, quail, and other woodland folk than men,
a love of nature such Tom Whetzels is, indeed,
providential
The assistant naturalist at the new Wheaton Re
gonal Park counts himself uckier even than most of
the favored few for whom recreation and livelihood
blend For him, the fusion happened we'll along in
life-hes as and quite oectedly Like Alexander
WoOllcOtts man who came to dinner, and stayed and
stayed, Mr. Whetzel went to the 5O0acre suburban
park in the fall of 1850 a carpenter, expecting to
help build the center and then move Instead he
found himself new occupation
His assignment included remodeng of a people
type redwood dwelling acquired along with park
acreage-nto a suitable repository for the stuffed
furred feathered and nny creatures native to Mary
land Inside walls ripped out and relocated to
form three large exhibit rooms workshop additional
public restrooms and offices for the park naturaists
Walks and patios constructed, shrubbery was
planted, parking lot paved, and threequarter mile
mature trail" cut through the forest
As work progressed Stanton Ernst park naturalist
who had arrived in October to oversee the develop
ment, found he had his a carpenter with more
than a passing interest in the building of a nature
center.
As he worked, Tom Whetzel piled Mr. Ernst with
questions These revealed not only keen but an ex-
tensve practical knowledge of the ways of wood folk
