 Funds on Shelters

WASHINGTON, Aug. 2, -R- The House Armed Services Com mittee today approved legislation that would waive for Alaska the requirement. that territories and states must match federal contri- buttons for air raid shelters for civilians.
 Chairman Vinson CD-Go) said that even if the federal govern ment had to appropriate every dollar of the $6,500,000 estimated as needed for the civilian shelters there, it would be justified be- cause Alaska is right under the gun"
 The waiver was sought by Alas ka and approved by the federal civil defense administration
 The agency noted that most Al askan dwellings are of frame con struction and said the severe cold could result in great suffering in the event Of a, Winter-time bomb attack on the territory.
 Rep. Cole opposed the legisla- ton and said the waiver should just as well apply to New York. He and Rep. Clemente D-NY) cast the only negative votes.
 Delegate Harrington R-Hawaii) asked why the waiver would not also be applied to that territory but the matter was not discussed.

Cadefs Have / Chance at 7
 Clean Record

WEST POINT N. r., Aug. ', - R-The superintendent of West Point said today that any of the accused cadets who admit class room cheating will be given a chance to resign with a clean record.
 "This was always contemplated, , Mai. Gen. Frederick A. Irving told the first news conference he has called since the scandal broke last Friday.
 The 90 cadets are facing custer for exchanging information on classroom examinations
 Their case is presently before a screening board here at West Point. General Irving also said i that the fall football schedule would be played as planned.
 Parents of some of the youths sent a telegram to President Tru- man appealing to him to restore the accused cadets to duty. The White House acknowledge receipt of the wire, but had no comment.
 Also in Washington, senators Sparkman D-Ala) and Fulbrlght D-Ark) suggested that both West Point and Annapolis be converted into purely military graduate schools
 Sparkman said that for years he has favored abolishing the mll- itary and naval academies as ov- 1 erall institutions of higher educa- tion, and stripping the courses to strictly military subjects.
 "This would eliminate any ser vice school clique" he said.
 However, Sen. Byrd D-Va), act ing chairman of the Senate Arm ed Services Committee, said he would oppose any move to anolisn the schools because of the crloping scandal.

After this one visitation, there were

years they have grown in numbers there,
through the establishment of scores of

but it associates with starlings, usually
coming in company of a small flock OF
these birds, though quite often it comes
alone.
IT suppose the latter is due to its being
in a mild degree subjected to the kind
of treatment usually meted out to birds
or beasts that differ markedly, in color
or otherwise, from the accepted specif1-
cations of its species.
"It does not seem to be violently per-

It is probable that some lady startling

F. L. L. H. Of Legation street writes
of the black squirrel:
"I am an interested reader. II the
man who feared he was seeing things
when some black squirrels appeared has
lived around Washington. I wonder
where his eyes have been, because there
are quite few hereabouts. In the block
to the west of Connecticut avenue and
between Legation street and Military
road pair have been frequently seen.
Some ten years ago when I lived on Park
road just to the west of the Soldiers
Home grounds there was an albino squir-
rel frequently seen about the little lakes
there. My father, who was reared in
Washington County in Michigan, has told
me that in his boyhood black squirrels
were more plentiful than the gray. but
that the gray seemed to be more ag-
gressive and gradually drove the black
variety pretty much out"

Mountain of Tin

Africa has been known as treasury Of
valuable metals for many centuries. But recent
discoveries suggest that the wealth of "the dark
continent" has only been scratched up to now.
The National Geographic Society discusses the
prospects of development in bulletin describ-
ing deposit of tin as big as mountain. This
gigantic lump of stannum is a feature of the
Katanga plateau on the southeast side OF the
Belgian Congo. The village of Manono is the
headquarters of current operations. Modern tools
and equipment for rapid exploitation are being
shipped from the United States. The ore will be
blasted and gouged out of the matrix, and the
crushing and smelling of it will be done in the
immediate neighborhood. Resultant ingots are
to come to America in compensation for Mar
shall Plan aid.
How important the work at Manono is may
be judged from the fact that the tin mountain
appears to be bottomlesS. Scientific tests OF the
terrain thus far have failed to locate any end
of it, The vast lode is accessible from open pits
on its surface and goes so deep that it has been
estimated 100 years would be required at the
present rate of digging to remove it all. Even
allowing for greatly accelerated speed in excava-
ton, the task will take many decades for COM
pletion So history should repeat what has hap
pened in the mountains between Galicia and
Portugal and between Saxony and Bohemia
where tin mines have been operated for un-
counted centuries without the tin-stone being
exhausted.
This, of course, is good. The modern worlds
need for tin is prodigious. 1t is strategic metal
required for military purposes as well as in
ordinary industry. The United States produces
practically none of it within its own borders. In
the past imports have been obtained from
Malaya Indonesia, Bolivia, Thailand Burma,
Australia, Spain, Japan and other countries, some
of which were cut off in times of war. The tin
from Manono is earmarked for the national
defense stockpile. American aid in the develop
ment of other Katanga deposits would seem to
be indicated Near the tin mountain there are
rich stores of columbium and tantalum, precious
alloys for STEEL The Congo area also bears
cobalt industrial diamonds, coal, zinc, cadmium,
lead silver, platinum, palladium and gold At
Kipushi there is a fabulous copper mine, said to
have yielded million tons since 1925; and at
Shinkolobwe there is a. block of earth estimated
to contain approximately half the worlds known
supply of uranium ore
All of which adds up to new appraisal OF
the continent of Africa in the near tomorrow OF
the human race. The prophecies of the cele-
brated explorers Livingstone, Stanley, Burton,
Park and the rest-seem to be on the edge OF
fulfilment. They believed that "the dark con-
tinent" was destined to be very bright, indeed;
and their faith is being justified.
