UMHK territory, to quit before
we got into trouble.
I didn't have to make up my
mind to turn back. It was made
up for me. Armed African
guards stopped the car and

The Shinkolobwe uranium
mine is about half mile square.
It's terraced sides go down about
225 feet and at the bottom great
steam shovels grub out the ore.
Although uranium had been
noted there in 1915, mining be-
gan only in 1921-when the
Belgians found a way of ex-
tracing few ounces of radium
each year out of the uranium
ore. Shinkolobwe became the
source for about three -fifths of
the worlds uranium.
1t contains the richest of the
worlds known uranium deposits.
In the blush black ore uranium
appears as a primary, not a sec
ondary, deposit. The mine is
said to produce about 80 vari-
cites of uranium-yielding min
erals. Their content of uranium
oxide (pitchblend) ranges from
40 to 80 per cent.
Processed Overseas
The uranium ore, after some
on-the-spot processing, goes
first to Elisabethville for partial
refinement and packing into
big metal drums. Then west

of British owned railroads to

DRIVE WITH CARE

The Glacier Highway was in good
condition today, Lieut.. Emmett b.
telho, of the Highway Patrol re-
ported to Chief Frank Metcalf. The
stretch over the blacktop to the
Juneau Airport is clear and this
morning the Bureau OF Public
Roads crew had sanded the road
from the Airport to Tee Harbor
and expected to complete the job
this afternoon.
Metcalf warns all motorists to
stay within the shoulder Of the
roadway. bitches are being opened
and drained but the safe place
is on the inside, he emphasized.
In Juneau last night, traffic was
practically at a standstill in var
ious sections owing to the slippery
condition of the streets which were
covered with glare ice. The street
department gang was out early
this morning sprinkling sand on
streets and sidewalks.

Secret Meet

LAKE SUCCESS, Dec. l1-1R-
Thirteen Asian and Middle East
countries met behind closed doors
today to consider final terms of a
new Korean peace plan. They were
expected to submit the plan to the

Assembly later in the day.

had received no word from the
Chinese Communists as to whether
they would accept a previous appeal
to halt at the 38th parallel.
Details of the new plan we're
kept secret, but informed quarters
said the resolution would include
an appeal for cease-fire and prob
ably would urge creation of demili-
tarized buffer zone along the 38th
parallel, old dividing line between
North and South Korea.
The conference was held while
the political committee, in nearby
room, continued its debate on a
six-power resolution demanding
withdrawal of the Chinese Reds
from Korea.
A spokesman for the United
States said the US. would not COM
ment on the 13-nation plan until
they saw it in it's final form.

It added that the President "is

Top White House advisers say
that wage and price controls are in

but there was disagreement as to
whether those tools would be ade--
