bureau OF Mines
| SUb-STATlON FOR
| j. n. D. IS sought
.PWA Il Asked for 500, 900
Fund to Construct Pilot
Plant in Slope City

Warrington, Oct. 23.-(PeThe Of
flee Of Senator Frazier (Rep. N. d.
said Tuesday the public works admins
-tration had been asked to allocate
$500. 900 to the bureau Of mines to
establish sub-station at North Da-
kota university, Grand Forks.
The request would supplement .
previous application Of the bureau
of public mines for allotment Of $780,
600 to construct pilot plant In some
western city in the Ignite coal field
to experiment With new uses for lig-
mite coal. This request was rejected
when Secretary Ickes Of the PWA
ruled his organization would not ap-
propriate funds for operation Of such
q plant. lckes said his authority ex-
tended only to providing money for
| construction.
The original request was made by
the bureau after o. s. Bowman, pres
ident Of an experimental laboratory
at Colorado Springs, Colo, presented
. process invented by him designed
not only to utilize the by-products
Of Ignite and SUBJ bituminous coal but
the fuels heating qualities.
Frazier's office said the University
OF North Dakota, through President
John West, had made q formal re-
quest to John w. Finch, director OF
the bureau Of mines, for branch OF
the bureau where research engineers
from the universities Of the Ignite
states could conveniently cooperate
with the bureau In the solution Of the
common problems to the proper uttl-
ization Of those vast Ignite coal re-
serves"
May Start This Fall
Frazier. it was said, Is hopeful Of
PWA approval in time to get work
started on the plant this fall. Con-
gress would then be asked to appro-
pirate funds for operation.
The bureau was authorized by an
act passed in 1915 to establish up to
10 such stations, according to Frazier's
office. To date only eight have been
established and there Is none in any
Of the states where Ignite coal
abounds, it was said.
Frazier told mining officials that
one-fourth Of the worlds coal re-
serves. consisting Of the Ignite and
-bituminous are located in one
eighth Of the area Of the United
States. He listed North and South
Dakota, Montana, Wyoming. Colorado
Idaho, Utah, Oregon, Washington
New Mexico and Texas as the lead
ing ignite and -bituminous states
THE difficulties incident to the util-
ization Of the lignites, either as do
mestic or power-plant fuel, due to
certain peculiarities, have seriously
retarded the industrial and economic
development Of those sections" he
said. The Dakotas and other Ignite
states import hundreds Of thousands
Of tons Of eastern anthracite and mid
western -bituminous coab annually at
prices ranging from So to $40 . ton
and are paying up to IL cents pei
kilowatt for electricity.
These facts would justify the es-
Enlistment Of q western division Of
the bureau Of Mines"

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Aug. 20
More than LOO convicts of the
parent branch of the Eastern State

PREWAR PARITY

Report to President
on Situation

WASHINGTON, Aug. 29.-Don-

dent Roosevelt that farm prices
have arisen within five per cent
of the famous prewar parity which
the Administration is straining to
reach.
Richberg made it plain his fig
ures include benefit payments re-
ceived by farmers through the AAA
and also stressed that the drought
slashed some major crops and
therefore high prices do not mean
fully a corresponding increase in
farm income"
Richberg warned that for a COM
plete farm recovery sit is essential
there be come revival in industrial
production and more extensive re-
employment"

Wall Street Views Move as
Distinct Aid to Govern
ment Bond Market

WASHINGTON, Aug. 29.-Even-
tual initiation of two billion eight
hundred million dollars was fore
cast last night by Secretary OF
Treasury Henry Morgenthau. With
the announcement was the state
ment that the Treasury expects
sooner or later to apply its gold
profit in a reduction of the Ma
tional debt.
The Treasurer said the cost OF
the New Deal cannot be measured
by the increase in the National
debt which under the present Ad-
ninistration amounted to six BILL
len dollars. From this, Treasurer
Morgenthau said must be deduct
cd an increase of one billion SIX
hundred million dollars, the Treas
urys cash balance.
Increase OF assets of the govern
ment by financed agencies total
one billion and ninety-five million
dollars which will later be realized
upon in cash and gold profit. With
these reductions, the net cost OF
the New Deal would be three bill
lion three hundred and five mil
lien dollars.
The center interest of the adj
dress was the disclosure that it is
intended to use the gold profits to
reduce the National debt.
