LEWTSIAN:
4nti-Truman

It was an accomplished fact that
sooner or later John Z. Lewis would
have his say about the 1948 cleo
ton, feeling as he obviously does
that no political campaign would
be complete without his having ex-
pressed an opinion on il.
At the United Mine Workers 10th
convention in Cincinnati the UNIV
chief showed his foot in MI. Tru-
mans campaign machinery by
turning a sour and sarcastic eye
on the Presidents bid for ~re-elec-
ton.
PRESIDENT Truman is danger
Gus to the United States" said
Lewis, and he had his mine worker
convention delegates agreeing with
him. They made it clear that they
would not go along with the bulk
of AFL, Clio and other independent
unions now working for Mr.. Tru-
mans election.
While the delegates cheered and
applauded his criticisms, Lewis de-
elared that:
Harry Truman is totally unfit
for the position. His principles are
elastic. He is careless with the
truth. He has no special knowledge
OF anything. He is a malignant
scheming sort of individual who is
dangerous not only to the United
Mine Workers but dangerous to the
United States of America"
PROCEEDING oratorically In
this vituperative vein, Lewis devot.
ed Is of the so minutes he took for
his speech to derogating the Presi-
dent in general and specific terms.
He charged that Mr. Truman We
toed the Taft-Hartley labor law only
''for the record of his campaign"
He said the President prosecuted
the mine workers and had them
fined twice because he was too
coWardly to send me to jail" =.
81 WAS WISHING he would put
me in JAIL" Lewis went on remi-
niscently. (which is what a white
man would have done rather than
rob you"
John L. Lewis was saving his
opinions on Gov. Thomas E. Dewey,
the Republican candidate, for a lat
er phase of the UNIV convention.
Lewis doesn't especially like
Dewey, either.

Releases Letter
In Regard to
Federal Aid Funds

ii. E. Clifford, chairman OF
the Big Horn county board OF
commissioners this week mace
public a letter from the state
Highway Commission in regard
to road matters under the Fed
eral Highway Act.
Mr.. Clifford said that any
rumorS or MISUNDERSTANDING
anyone may have heard to the
effect that any individual was
responsible for obtaining money
from the Montana State High
way Commission for use in
Big Horn county are entirely
untrue.
The chairman quoted from a
letter to the commissioners
from the highway commission
dated July 80, 1948, as follows:
Answering your specific
questions, Big Horn county has
lost no funds in connection
with the p~rogramming of sec
ondary roads, nor will it lose
any state = matched Federal
funds.
Furthermore, under the re-
quirements of the 1914 Federal
Highway act, it is mandatory
that the State Highway Com
mission and it's engineering
staff work out the designation
of specific secondary road pro-
jects and the priority of their
construction with the respective
boards of county commissioners.
This we have done consistently
and shall continue to do. Natur-
ally no one seeking information
or wishing to express opinions
as to highway matters, is de-
MED a hearing.
Nevertheless, no petitions in
regard to the ALLEGATION of Fed
eral aid secondary road funds or
procedure in connection there
with from unofficial sources will
be acted upon by the Highway
Commission unless requested or
approved by the board of coun-
ty commissioners of the county
affected"

URANIUM:
NeU Find

Practically nobody. except the
people who look for it and work
with it. knows much about uranium
the raw material of splitting
atoms-but the worldwide search
for that metal is constant. often
frenetic and of inestimable impor-
lance.
CLAIMS THAT another uranium
deposit has been discovered are
becoming more and more frequent.
And more often than not, the dis
covery flops completely. Or if it
does turn out to be a possible
source of supply the whole thing is
Immediately wrapped in atomic Sc
crecy and the world hears nothing
more about it.
The latest of these discoveries, an
nounced recently by Columbia uni
versity,' might turn out to be pro-
ductive enough to be Of vast sig
uificance to the world.
SCIENTISTS have unearthed a
new, green mineral which vas found
clinging to mine walls in the Bel
gian Congo. 1t is a relative Of the
yellow carnotite. from which the
u. S. gets its domestic uranium in
the Rocky mountains. C~arnotite is
one of the two best sources of the
atomic element, uranium.
Whether the green mineral is
plentiful is not yet known. It now
is being analysed at Columbia uni
versity. Like the yellow .carrotite.
it contains about 60 per cent urani-
UNI. |'.
If the new mineral proves a good
Uranium source, the discovery
night be the most important of its
kind since the atomic bomb first
burst upon the world. More than
100 minerals containing uranium
are known. but the element has
been too difficult to extract.

P-TAES TOLD ABOUT
 pR0p0SED CHANGE
 IN SCHOOL DISTRICT

The Parent Teacher Association monthly meeting was held last night to give clearer idea as to the independent school district proposal. Supt. Edwin Clark stated the present boundaries of the schools were the city limits only and that the funds for the schools were provided by the City of Ju- neau and the Territory The Terri tcry provides 75 percent of these funds and the city 25 percent.
 The 75 percent the Territory provides is spent for teachers, bocks, supplies, heat, light, water, and janitorial services, and the 25 percent the City provides is also used for these purposes. However the City bears all the cost of main tenance of the school buildings and any ether buildings erected.
 In l947 there were l87 pupils in beth schools from outside the city limits and the Territory allows $50 per pupil providing the pupil at tends school the entire year; thus this amount does not equal the difference between the 75 percent paid hy the Territory and the total cost.
 The schools serve the entire area and are overcrowded, using rooms

no in this community.

pr. James Ryan, Territorial Com missioner of Education, spoke rom the viewpoint of a citizen. He said he was vitally interested in what happens to the scholastic system in Juneau not only be- cause he has son in the pubic schools, but as taxpayer he wish es to see the best possible school ing system in Juneau and the sur rounding area. Dr Ryan also eX- plained that the petition for an in- dependent school district must be signed by a number equal to one fourth of the number of voters in the last election.
 MT. Clark and Dr. Ryan ans wered questions on the matter of the independent school district that were of great interest to all
 MT. Clark asked where the funds for the independent school district were to come from. Dr. Ryan the school board has the right to assess all property inside the proposed area but not outside the municipal City limits, for a set taxation.
 MT. Clark then asked if there was a set limit to the amount of taxation. Dr. Ryan explained that there is limit amount, a 2 per cent fixed taxation on real and personal property.
 The question was asked just what the word Independent meant, and 1t was explained that an indepen- 5ent school district means that it $ independent of the municipal

-ity government.

City government.
 MT Clark asked: Are you say ing then if the independent school board wanted to set up a school at Aux Bay, they could?"
 Dr. Ryan said: Yes, very likely, because where school buildings are to be erected is entirely up to the district school board" The question was then asked if it would be possible for two cities to form an independent school district to- gether and it was replied that the Attorney General stated that under the law this could not be done, but that each municipality must set up it's own independent school dis trict
 Mayor Hendrickson said that some were curious as to why the school district takes in such large area, and pr. Ryan stated the chief reason was to get into one school district as much tax able property as possible, in or der to furnish the required funds to maintain the school. The Mayor also asked if it was true that once a district was set up it could rot be changed. Dr. Ryan replied that it was true that under the present independent district law it is impossible to change the size of any district. However, Dr. Ryan advised that he expects this law would be changed so the district could be enlarged to meet requirements.
 It was voted that the P-TA members were to have charge of securing signatures to the petition. The President of the P-TA asked all members support the March of Dimes, which is so sorely needed.
 Following the meeting, refresh ments were served in the Home Ec room.

not adequate for schooling pur- poses. The educational facilities are not sufficient for the number of children attending the schools at this time and there is not enough room for correct study purposes for each class that is necessary for proper educational purposes.
 For example, supt Clark said, the class room used as the his tory room is not of adequate size in that there is not sufficient space for maps, globes and refer ence materials which are an essen tial part of this course The room, designed for Science lectures, is net being used for this purpose due to the lack of class room space. It is being used for Eng fish and Bookkeeping.
 At present there is no place where the entire student body can be conveniently assembled. and there is no provision made for the production of dramatlcs.
 There is need for another in structor in Science for students who wish to further this study, but at present there are no facilities for this. Several Of the class rooms are inadequate from the stand point of the students health due to poor ventilation.
 Supt. Clark said it is within the power of the local school board to deny pupils outside the city
 mits admittance to the City schools, but this is one thing that S impossible to think of happen

Sixteen Die In B-29
 Crash In Hawaii
(BY Lief Erickson)

HICKAM FIELD, Hawaii, (P)- Sixteen airmen died last night in the twisted, burned Wreckage of an OkinaWa bound superfOrtresS that crashed in one of the islands worst peacetime air disasters.
 Four others were burned seri- ously. One of the big bomber's four engines conked out three minutes after it took off from Barber's Point on another leg of its Far Eastern hop. from the 98th bomber groups base at Spokane. Wash.
 The pilot was ordered to land at the municipal airport, which adjoins Hickman field. The super fort came in at an altitude of 150 feet and missed the municipal air port. The pilot banked the plane in an attempt to circle and bring it back in but wing caught a transport plane parked on Hlck- am field taxiway.
 The superfort crashed into a concrete power substation and exploded.
 Witnesses said the four surviv- ors either jumped or were thrown free from the wreckage. They were rushed to Tripler army gen. eral hospital where doctors said their condition was serious.
 The plane was one of 28 from the 98th group enroute to Okin- ava to relieve the first air divi- sion unit there. It was one of IA superforts scheduled to leave yes terday.

InternatiOn'l News At A Glance
CBy The Associated Press)

(BERLIN)-Maj. Gen. Alexan- der Kotikov, Russian commandant in Berlin, accused the anti-com- munist city government today of unauthorized actions splitting the city police force and other agen- cies. The city government charged the Russians themselves caused the splits by strong arm tactics.
 An American spokesman said the Russian attack was another attempt to increase the pressure" on the elected Berlin administra- ton and perhaps intended to "jus- tify eventual withdrawal of recog- milton" of the city regime.
 Two more shootings on border zones in Berlin and Bavaria were reported. Persons in Russian uni forms wounded a German woman in Berlin. German police from the Russian zone killed a German agent of the U. s. army on the Bavarian border. At the oft-raided Potsdamer Platz in Berlin, the Russians, British and Americans withdrew armed patrols, easing tension.
