Two Killed In Riot In Mexican Prison

MORELIA, Mexico, (P) )- Most of the 72 prisoners battling police in a mass jail break surrendered early today after an all-night siege.
 At least two persons were killed. The bodies of prison guard and a prisoner were recovered. Earlier reports that six prisoners were killed could not be verified.
 The escaped prisoners, armed with rifles, sidearms and other weapons from the jail, were sur rounded on a small hill outside the city. Police dug in around the hill for an all-night battle.
 The prisoners broke out of jail shortly before nightfall. They made a concerted rush on guards and overwhelmed them.
 They ransacked the jail for weapons before fleeing, and were believed to have at least eight rifles and quantities of ammuni- ton. Six of the prisoners were listed as dangerous convicts."
 Police, reinforced by troops from the local garrison, overlook the band of jail breakers at the city's outskirts and forced them to take up a defense position on the hill.

To RenOvate White House

WASHINGTON (P) The White House is going to be renovated in- stead of replaced.
 Senator McKellar D. Tenn0, chairman of an official commiS- sion on the project, made the an nouncement following a session in the White House today.
 Congress has appropriated $5,- 100000 to do the work.
 In one report to Congress, Pres ident Truman conceded that it might be cheaper to rebuild than to try to repair the ancient struc- ture on Pennsylvania Avenue. However, he said that the Ameri- can people would like to preserve the present building insofar as possible for sentimental and his tOric reasons.
 The commission decided to re- tain the mansion in its present form rather than build an en- tirely new structure as had been advocated by some Congressmen and others.
 The commission, which Nickel lar heads as chairman of the Sen ate appropriations committee, is the final authority in the contro- VerSy.

tBy Frank CareY)

w A $ H l N GTON, (H) - The atomic energy commission an nOunced today its new and more effective atomic bombs-proof- tested at Eniwetok-are being produced lon an industrial basis"
 It also said uranium and pluto nium for bombs and other atomic energy uses are being produced lin greater quantities than ever before"

 At the same time the AEC dis closed it had found ace-in-the-hole resources of uranium in this cOun- try that could be used at some fu- ture time for military applications in case the uranium we now get at home and abroad should cease to be available.
 This country now gets most of it's uranium from the Belgian Congo and Canada which have ores of a high uranium content. Some of the precious stuff also comes from loW-grade carnotite ore of the Colorado plateau - an ore relatively low in uranium con- tent.
 This involved comprehensive examination of virtually every rock formation in this country, and of mine and smelter products, gas and oil wells, and other places where uranium might occur" the AEC said, adding:
 The 202-Dage report made no reference to current discussions concerning -British-Ca- nadian relations in the atomic en- cry field.
