This ; will be ai violation of the reasoning on which l creation of national parks and monuments" was ; based: to! conserve the scenic beauty and the '' primitive f conditions of unique areas. And the , Dinosaur monument is indeed unique. It is not merely that it has beds of fossils of prehistoric J animals but that it has remarkable canyons and ? rock formations and desert stretches which make it awesome and impressive. v ! A writer in "Letters to the Times" (N. Y. Times) warns against the commercial exploita-f tion of the monument and the breaking down of previous bars against commercialization oft these areas, saying: ' ' t Now. the Bureau of Reclamation has gotten its ; foot in the .door, precedent has been smashed, I and if the estimated $165,000,000 is appropriat- t ed by Congress to build the Echo Park and ; Split Mountain Canyon dams in Dinosaur Na tional Monument every national park and mon ument in the United States will be vulnerable to those who have long wanted to "commer cially" exploit them, - According to an article in the other dam sites are available in northeast Utah with less cost to taxpayers. 1jO- cal interests are shortsightedly pressing for the building of. these dams, indifferent to the fact j that they are primarily a national asset, which ought not. to-be desecrated by huge dams that: flood out magnificienfc canyons.

' i;" measure of re- assurance for those who know the delicacy of the situation there;- Iran has been the scene of one attempted com ra u n i s t coup since the begin ning, of Russia's postwar expan-" ? r sionist campaign. That one was beaten down in Azerbaijan when the Tehran government, with strong moral backing from Brit ain and the United States, moved promptly with the army. But the Jo.;er that Russia would try to stage a Mnew . Czechoslovakia', has been ever present, and espe cially since the bold commuriist attempt to take over South Korea , by force of. arms. There is do indication as yet that communism played a role in Razmara's death.

In this. -. ; case the inflation which has been so pronounced , may be halted at least temporarily with a re-; sultant correction in the price level or at least . retarding of the rise." 1 !t The state association of utility regulatory bo dies have adopted a resolution urging;, that if congress wants more tax income from j utilities that it.be levied in the form of excise taxes.' In this way .the rate structures of utilities will not have to be revised. If added levies are Imposed on the incomes of utilities then to provide them with a fair return the utility commissions would have to revise rate structures. In either event the burden ultimately falls on the user of the service, but the excise tax method is simpler and less costly to work out. Since rates of utilities are under regulation, they should be considered separately from' other corporations in the levy of taxes. J boosters urge .more industry to provide more employment, to. use up mate rials otherwise wasted, to broaden the tax base. But persons do not start industries for these purposes. They f start them', in order to make money. The pro&t' incentive,; is the drive Once a person is convinced thathe can make money on an investment in a-new factory or process he'll, go ahead if he possibly can to make that investment.

The bell rang on Justice Douglas when he turned down the vice presidential nom ination. The southern democrats are still the hard core of the party and they will hope to dic tate the nominee, but they should know that one .of their stamp will not appeal to the northern laboring and liberal groups who brought victory for democrats in the past. Governor Byrnes of South Carolina is too old and now too provincial to stand much chance for the nomination. Few democratic senators show pres idential stature or a wide popular following. Sen. Paul H. Douglas of Illinois, however, is one who could qualify and has been gath ering strength though hardly with the politicians who usually de termine nominations. Sen.
