SALT LAKE CITY, UTAH FRIDAY, MAY 1, 1970 i i i Dr. J. Keith Melville Charts Attempt at Congress Seat Senator Frank Moss Announces Candidacy For Re-election nation in 1966, but lost to Rep. Burton in the general election. Richard Richards, Ogden, former state Republican chairman, is the only announced GOP candidate from the First District.

In a formal statement, Dr. Melville said he would work more closely with Utahs outlying counties than has ever been experienced in the past. The First District includes all but seven of Utahs counties, excluding Salt Lake and Tooele counties and a tier of counties south along the western border. Too often there is a tendency among our major elected leaders to concentrate on the larger metropolitan areas of the state. This leaves the citizens of the outlying communities without the full representation they need and deserve.

As a congressman, I do not propose to let that happen, he said. I want the people in the First Congressional District to know thta I do care about them. I want (them to know that I believe in a society and a government that places the family first. Finally, I want them to know that thats the kind of government Ill fight for in Washington, D.C., said Dr. Melville.

Dr. Melville is a native of Bountiful, member of a pioneer Utah family, and educated in public schools, including West High School in Salt Lake City. He was a bomber pilot in World War rising to the rank of captain and earning the Distinguished Flying Cross and Air Medal. Utahs two term Democratic senator, Frank E. Moss, has formally announced he would be a candidate for re-election.

Senator Moss made the announcement at a reception at the Capitol which was attended by state Democratic leaders. Gov. Calvin L. Rampton, who was out of the state on state business, sent a message of support for the senators candidacy. The following is a statement issued by Senator Moss in mak-in his announcement.

For the past 12 years I have served in the United States Senate. My office doors have always been open and I have been available in Washington or in Utah to all of our people, regardless of political persuasion or economic status. I have tried to help Utahns with their problems. I have listened carefully to their points of view and I have worked as hard, fairly and conscientiously as I could to represent all the people of this great state. In addition, I have recognized that a senator has a responsibility to strive to solve the problems which face the nation.

This I have done also. I have tried to discharge my duties as a United States Senator representing this state. I take pride in my record and in the work completed but other important work remains unfinished. Because of my experience and my seniority in the Senate I believe I am in a position more effectively to continue the work that remains. I have 12 years of Dr.
