Minneapolis spokesman. [volume] (Minneapolis, Minn.) 1934-2000, 1950-03-31

WHAT ARE THE FACTS about the danger
Mr.. Van Dusen points out? It's fact
that the iron industry last year paid over $27
million in local and state taxes;
that it is taxed at a higher rate than any other
major Minnesota industry;
that no state taxes anv natural resource as heavily
as this state taxes iron ore
That's some load for industry to shoulder. Espe-
cialy when that industry faces the knoty costly
problem OF developing new types of ores.
It's no secret that much Of the ready tO-ship ore
Of the Mesabi is gone. II the state Is to keep its

high-grade ore must be conserved How? BY sup

dreds Of millions Of dollars.
One producer, for example, is spending from SIT
to $50 million 10 learn how TO process taeOnite on
commercial scale. Building a tacOnite plant will
cost far more. Running II, stil more. For prOdue-
ing lOw-grade ores Is no simple mining matter:
It's a major MANUFACTURING operation.
Naturally the costs of producing low grade ores must
be low enough to compete with the newly discovered
high grade ores Of Labrador and venezuela-or IL

It's easy to see that high ore taxes mean high

Why we publish these foets
We Of the iron ore industry want stay in Mime

We insure the future of Mnnesota's iron ore
wealth by investing the millions Of dollars needed to

We want to help make ii possible for the people of
Minnesota to enjoy even greater benefits from this
expanded industry-both in dollars and joba-for
many generations TO come.

JUNEAU ELk5 TO GIVE PIANO TO
 ELkS OF 5ITkA

An Acrosonic piano, product of Baldwin, is the gift of the Juneau Lodge of Elks to the Elks lodge at Sitka and presentation will be made at big doings in Sitka next Friday evening.
 The piano, purchased through Art Uggen of the Alaska Music Supply, has been crated and is on the steamer Denali for shipment to Sitka.
 Arthur (Scotty) Adams and M. E Monagle are also passengers on the Denali for Sitka to make prelim- mary arrangements for the presen- tation and other Past Exalted Rul- CTS will fly to Sitka to be in on the doings.
 The Past Exalted Rulers to make the piano presentation at Sitka are the same who took over the initia- ton and also conducted the dedica ton of the new lodge rooms at Kctchikan several months ago.
 Several events of social nature have been planned by the Juneau Elks and also Sitka Elks.

pEIERMAN5 RETURN
 FROM VACATION; 10
 MAKE HOME IN SOUTH

MT. and Mrs. R. D. Peterman, long time Juneau residents. arrived home on the Denali after an extended vacation trip through the southern states.
 In Los Angeles they visited Mrs. Josephine White and took her as their guest on motor trip through Arizona, New Mexico, Texas and to Mexico. They visited the Grand Canyon, Carlsbad Caverns, Boulder Dam and many other places of in- terest in the south and southwest.
 Mrs. Peterman said that on their return to Seattle they purchased a home there and she and her hus- band are leaving on the return trip of the Denali to establish their residence in Seattle. As they have lived in Juneau and vicinity since the early 1920's, where MT. Peter man was in the contracting busi- ness, news of their departure will be received with regret by their many friends.

FOUR BOY SCOUTS FOUND DEAD ON
 RAFT, LAKE ERIE

CLEVELAND, April 11IR-Four teen-age boy scouts, 13 and IA, whose little rubber raft drifted on wind-whipped Lake Erie for nearly IT hours were found dead today.
 Their thinly clad bodies, blue with cold, were rushed to lifeguartl station by a Coast <iuard picket boat.
 Coroner K. R. Sarle officially pronounced them dead. He said ex- posture was the cause = they had been battered by high waves and chill winds since last night at dusk.
 Their raft was sighted this morn ing by circling B-17. one of a dozen planes which had been comb ing the area about 25 miles north east of here.
 The boys all were members of a boy scout troop in suburban Euclid.
 They had set out from the beach last night to rescue drifting ca noe. Winds from offshore swept their yellow, war surplus life raft into the lake.

TO PROBE CHARGES
 OF RUSS
US. Officials DiseIaim Any Knowledge of Gum
 firing as Reported

WASHINGTON, April II = R - United States officials today dis claimed any knowledge of an aerial gunfire exchange between an American B-29 and Russian planes. But they ordered an immediate in vestigation after receiving Soviet protest of the alleged incident.
 The State Department declined any comment except to say that the Russian protest was the first infor- nation it had received and that an inquiry is under way to determine what the facts are.
 The official disclosure of the Soviet protest was made by Michael J. McDermott, State Department press officer, about an hour after a Moscow announcement.
 Soviet Foreign Minister Andrei Vishinsky protested to American Ambassador Alan G. Kirk in Mos COW that the incident took place Saturday about 13 miles inside Rus sian territory. The Russian version was that the B-29 fired first and Soviet planes replied.
 "NO Official Knowledge
 Pending the American inquiry the Air Force said only that it had mo official knowledge" of any such incident
 US. Air Force headquarters i,l l, Wiesbaden, Germany, speculated that if an American plane was in- volved in an incident of that kind it may have been Navy aircraft missing since Saturday in the northern Baltic area. The Air Force here would not receive reports on a Navy plane as matter of rou- tine
 The Navy professed no knowledge as to whether it's missing craft might have been involved in the reported incident
 There was no immediate White House comment on the matter but Charles G. Ross, Presidential press secretary, said that presumably President Truman had been in- formed of it by the State Depart ment.
 McDermott was asked by reporters whether the State Department knew of any B-29's operating in the area of Lepaya, Latvia, which Moscow considers Soviet territory, last Sat- urday. He replied that the State Department doesn't keep track of B-29 movements"
 The Navy said its patrol planes have strict instructions to stay at least 20 miles from Russian terri torial boundaries and to operate without arms when flying near So- viet areas.

 Policy Committee

WASHINGTON. April 11-tR-At President Truman's urging, the Democratic policy committee de- cided today to bring foreign aid bill before the Senate ahead of q fair employment practices measure.
