u. S. MAY CUT
BELGIAN RADIUM
MONOPOLY SOON
Colorado Mine Owner Hopes
to Get Government
Contract.
BY TED III. MALOY
United Press STAFF Correspondent

NEW YORK, Sept. 6.-The Unit
ed States may break the Belgian
radium monopoly and give the pre-
cious metal to the world in quanti-
ties and cheap enough to meet
medical needs under plans revealed
to the United Press by j. H. Hardy,
Colorado min owner.
Mr.. Hardy hopes to begin extrac-
ton of the pitchblende ore from his
mines at jamestown, Col, within
the year, either under private en-
terprise or government contract.
The vein, found in four of Mr..
Hardy's five mines, is the only one
in the United States, he said. He
discovered it II years ago while
watching the milling Of flourspar
from one of the mines. He noticed
thin, dark line on the outer rim
of ore on Jig table and wondered
what it was,
Difficult to Classify
The fine line of metal was of a
specific gravity near that of gold,
Mr.. Hardy could see from it posi-
ton on the table. For three months
he and trusted assistants worked at
night attempting to classify the new
substance.
Finally the mining experiment
station Of the United States Bureau
of Mines at Golden, Col, determined
it was uranium in the form of
pitchblende.
The discovery was beset with diff
ficultieS. First, radium interests de-
MED there was sufficient ore to per-
NIT commercial operations, then a
partner defalcated with some $780,
900. Overcoming these things took
time.
Engineers appointed by the Col
orado Manufacturers and Merchants
Association and the Denver Cham
Der of Commerce established that
the pitchblende ore was present in
commercial quantities. Waste ore
used in the tests revealed one pound
of pitchblende or 0.128 miligram of
radium ton.
Spends Is Years Getting Land
Mr.. Hardy has spent the last Is
years clearing titles to the 400 acres
Of land along Jim Creek. He is fin
ished now and ready to begin opera
lions.
1t has been suggested that the in
dustTy be in effect a government
monopoly, the government advance
ing funds for the extraction of pure
radium, then renting the radium to
smaller hospitals and clinics toward
control Of the $4,000 persons dying
annually IN the United States of
cancer and other malignant diseases
which respond to radium treatment.
The method Of Operation is being
considered. Hardy said, however,
that the mines could be operated
commercially for their other prod
ucts of gold, silver, lead and chem
ical by-products and the radium of
the final eXtractionS could be pro-
duced cheaply enough for its more
extensive use.
The United States produced ra-
dunn for while from carnotite at

of enveloping wings, which they
will certainly use against the
Italians"
II
THUS far" he added, "the
l. Ethiopian army has done lit
tie to stave off attack. 1t is re-
allied that the first Italian drive
will be against Adowa, but thus
far there has been nothing done
to meet it except to scratch a few
yards of trenches in the land out
side the city.
"The Italians, with $50 tanks
carefully adapted to the geogra-
ply of Ethiopia, several hundred
planes and hundreds of pieces of
artillery, should capture Adowa
easily, especially as they will be
in command of the heights looking
down on Adowa, which lies in a
plain. The native chieftain of
Ras Seyoum, the Tigre province,
which includes Adowa, has several
hundred thousand soldiers, but
no tanks and nothing else to stop

when war starts. There is one
Turkish general, but the emperor
insists that a Turk will not be
allowed to command.
Secondly, there is the national
army numbering $4,000 I'M
trained men who have been given
new rifles. These men are soldiers
from father to son, but while
they rate as soldiers, they really
never go through field training.
Thirdly, there are numerous
private provincial armies, belong
ing to provincial chiefs or land
owners sufficiently wealthy to hire
private soldiers. These are chiefly
equipped with old-faShioned
breach or muZzle leaders.

the advance of a mechanical
force.
CAS- far as the costs of war are
concerned, Ethiopia can fight on
forever. The soldiers of the reg
ular army are unpaid, each man
receiving only a strip of land in
return for his services. The army
feeds on the country. The local
chiefs buy rifles and munitions so
the emperor has no expense for
defense, except that connected
with maintenance of his imperial
guard.
There are many who believe
that defections may cost the en-
peror his throne, in which case
the Italians may suggest a pro-
tectorate with the emperor's son,
Asfao Faffari, on the throne.
"He is a boy 20, tall and fat

strong personality. Moreover, he
is known not to share his fathers

Denver but the process was so eX-
pensive that when the richer pitch
blende deposit was discovered in the
Belgia nCongo the operations in this
country were closed down.
The Denver plant produced about
third Of pound between 1912 and
1922 when radium sold at S450000
an ounce. The present prices is be-
tween $4,000 and $4,000 a gram, or
around Sl50000 an ounce. There
are 500 grams in the world and the
United States has 260 of them.
American chemists long have felt
that the price, virtually controlled
by the Belgian government. is too
high. Prof. r. B. Moore of Purdue
University said in a statement to
the American Chemical Society in
1929 that the price was about five
times more than cost of production
warranted. The Belgian company
counterede, however, saying the
price was too low.
