New Uranium Discoveries
Show Wide Distribution

The world is expanding it's known
sources of uranium, vital mineral
Of the Atomic Age.
Both newly independent Burma
and the Union of South Africa have
announced the discovery of extern
sive uranium deposits, National
Geographic society notes. These lat
est finds are further evidence that
the atomic-energy ore is much more
widely distributed around the globe
than popularly believed.
Prospecting for uranium lodes is
much simpler than searching for
gold. The uranium can be detected
easily by scientific ''divining
rod" Radioactive by nature, the
mineral literally broadcasts its
whereabouts in the ground. Forty
years ago Hans Geiger, German
scientist, invented the instrument
which hunts out the hidden ore.

AS the girl hastily traced Mike

a face full of lather tore into the

"Just got who - when - where?"
brisbane roared.

TOWBOAT PILOT
By EIston J. Melton
(CaxtOn Printers $4)

NNUNLOW ETTHISTy 44
By Lyn Connolly.
Here at last is an intelligently
written book for adolescent boys,
one of the best of it's kind since the
immortal Mark Twain penned that
perennial favorite, tom Sawyer"
Tom Briggs is essentially a good
boy, but because he takes precious
time away from his daily chores to
swim with his chun, Johnny San
ders, and because he dreams con-
stantly of the day when he might
be towboat pilot on the mighty
Gasconade river, he is considered
lazy and shiftlesS by his cruel STEP
father and many of the town citi-
zenS.
You'll share Toms Illustration
when, after he works hard to buy
himself a small boat so that he can
fish to support his family, his STEP
father sells the boat and pockets the
money. You'll share his horror
when his hunting rifle goes off acci-
dentally in the post Office and he is
accused by Mr.. Pugh, the postmas-
ter, Of having deliberately attempt
ed to kill him.
Despite his many handicaps, Tom
proves through sheer perseverance
and courage that he is capable of
being a towboat captain. The story
carries him from the age of IL when
he is in the dream stage, through
the age Of 81, when he makes his
first cruise as pilot. But long be-
fore the realization of his ambition,
he earns the respect Of his neigh
bors when he clears Mr.. Pugh of
possible murder charge of which
only Tom knows he is innocent, thus
proving that he holds no malice in
his heart for the postmaster who
would have sent Tom to a juvenile
home when he, too, was wrongly
accused of crime.
The book is joy for those loving
the great outdoors. Mr.. Melton, a
prominent Missouri newspaper man,
knows his subject well and handles
it beautifully with the result that
there emerges a book full of tears
and joy, tenderness and adventure.

Moth and Lily
Examples Of Cooperation

The yucca moth and the yucca
lily are excellent examples of CO.
operation in nature. The yucca
moth visits no other plant than
the yucca lily and the yucca lily
is visited by no other insect than
the yucca moth.
The female moth visits the lily
for the purpose of laying her eggs.
In return for this privilege the
moth carries pollen from one yuc-
ca lily to another. By doing this
the moth makes it possible for the
yucca lily to produce seeds.

WASHINGTON, (P)-PreSident Truman flung a fred herring" charge yesterday at Congress members busy probing into all legged communist infiltration of the government and spying" during the war.
 He said the Senate and House hearings are intended to divert attention from lack of Congress sional action to combat imitation, and are CD slandering people, and @ turning up no information not already known to the FBI.
 MT. Truman loosed his attack on the Congressional hearings at a news conference. His remarks were in response to questions.
 When a reporter asked whether he did not think the American public is entitled to the infOrma- ton being produced by the hear ingS, he said there was nothing new and that lot of people have been slandered.
 At the Capitol, the Congress sional investigators were talking of widening their inquiry.
 Rep. Rankin D.-MissD proposed that the House un-American ac- tivities committee call in Henry A. Wallace for questioning.

By the Asseeioted Press

The Defense Department to-
day established a central Office
to coordinate public relations
of the Army, Navy and Air Force.
Harold B. Hinton of the Wash
ington staff of the New York Times,
former colonel in the Air Force,
was named by Secretary Forrestal
to be co-ordinator. He will have

Forrestal to maintain contact be-
tween the Secretary and the public.
Capt. Berry has been serving in the
public relations job in addition to
his other work.
The establishment of such a CO.
ordinating Office was not unexpect-
ed. Despite the unif1cation of the
armed forces, started last fall, there
have been occasions when the ideas
of the public relations departments
OF rival services have conflicted.
This has been true particularly Of
the Navy and Air Departments.
Mr.. Forrestal said the appoint
ment of an overall co-ordinator
will not alter the existing public
information organizations or opera
tions of the Army, Navy and Air
Force Departments" Mr.. Hinton,
Secretary Forrestal said, will be re-
sponsible for the development of
overall public information policy
for the National Military Establish
ment and for coordination Of its
public information activities"
A central press room is planned
in the Pentagon to serve the three
departments as well as Mr.. For
restals Office. Each department viii
assign men from its own public re-
lations staff to duty in the central
press room which will be opened
about August l.
Mr.. Hinton Is a veteran news
paperman and author. He served
in aviation in both World Wars.
During the last war. he was colonel
in combat air intelligence with the
18th Air Force in North Africa and
Italy.
