Introduces Bill On Suspension of
 Assessment Work

A bill was introduced by Dele gate Bartlett last week to re- place one dropped in the hopper in February relating to suspen- sion of assessment work on un patented mining claims in the United States, including Alaska.
 Since introducing the bill in February" Delegate Bartlett stated, it has become increas- ingly apparent that waiver of assessment work for all types of unpatented mining claims would not meet with approval. There is not only division within the industry itself on whether there should be a moratorium but in- formal and unofficial expres- sions of opinion from the Atomic Energy Commission and other executive departments indicate the suspension of assessment work on all mining claims would not be looked upon faVorably as 1t is felt this would place a de- terrent in the way of develop ment of strategic minerals.
 The new bill confines suspen- sion of assessment work in the United States and Alaska for the period of the national emer- gency to mining claims located and held primarily for gold. Ii is believed there would be an in- creased chance to obtain ap- proval of the new bilI since it is well recognized that the gold miner above all others has been especially hard-hit, with in creased shortages of manpoWer and equipment anticipated.
 Delegate Bartlett's new bill
 in addition to providing for waiver of the requirement for annual assessment work on un- patented mining claims located or held primarily for gold, in- cludes a number of provisions which among other things, would:
 1. Allow any assessment work done on one claim in one assess ment year in excess of the work required to be performed to be credited against the assessment work required for any one or more of the five succeeding assessment years
 2. Permit assessment work eX- penditure to be made on any one , claim where not more than 10 contiguous claims in any group of mining claims are held in common ownership.
 3. Establish procedure re- quiring holders of all unpatented mining claims to record inform ation on their claims with the Bureau of Land Management, thereby providing for the first time a central location for de- posit of this information. All time required for filing of state ments in Alaska under the bill is doubled over tho time requir- ed in the continental United States.

Bevan Seeks 10 Avert
Spread Of Rail Strike
BY the Associated Press

LONDON, Feb. 22.-Labor Min

minutes this morning with the
heads of three rail unions in a

of 100000 British railroad work

Mr.. Bevan told reporters moth

conference to the weekly cabinet
meeting at No. 10 Downing Street
to report on the situation.
If the unions call the strike in
an effort to get higher wages-and
thousands of workers already have
walked out to show they mean
business-Britain would face one
of her gravest industrial crises
since the 1926 general strike.
Coal stocks already are at a
dangerously low level. Even a brief
stoppage of shipments would
mean a widespread industrial
shutdown.
Unless Mr.. Bevan can solve the
impasse, a widespread rail stop
page seemed certain by the week

cial strikes which the government
claims union heads are doing
nothing to discourage.

3-Year Hurry-Up Degrees
BY the Assceioted Press

NEW HAVEN, Conn, Feb. 22.-
President A. Whitney Griswold of
Yale University said today World
War IFS hurry-up system of COL
lege education was a failure.
Awarding a college degree for
such telescoped marathon" study
is like awarding prize to the
artist who paints the most pic
lures instead of the artist who
paints the BEST" the educator said
at an alumni day luncheon.
With education facing another
national emergency which could
well continue for another genera
ton, he suggested this formula for
accelerating academic study on a
more practicable basis:
Il suggest that the best way to
do it would be to eliminate waste
motion all along the line; to
strengthen our secondary school
curricula in both substance and
discipline; to eliminate redundant
cy, vocationalism, jargon and
excessive extra-curricular activi-
ties from our liberal arts colleges;
to offer short Cnot more than

tensive work in subjects, such as
foreign languages and elementary
mathematics, that can be studied

U. 5. Pays S273,75O
In Widow Claim

The Federal Government yester.
day handed over s273,750 in a
District Court settlement of the
claims of New York widow, who
charged wrongful seizure of stock
owned by her late husband.
Mrs. Emily Margaret st. George,
widow of DR.. ArminV. st. George,
prominent surgeon, sued the Alien
Property Custodian for return of
$50 shares in General Dyestuff
Corp. of New York, which her lus-
band handed over in 1912.
When DR.. st. George died in
1943, naming his wife as sole bene-
f1ciary under his will, his widows
claims were rejected by the Gov
ernment. She said her husband
surrendered the stock in the first
place to avoid any criminal pen
atty"
Federal lawyers contended that
General Dyestuff and "all its
capital stock" were dominated
and controlled" by I. G. Farben-
industrie of Germany and that Its
activities also we're linked to Gen
eral Aniline and Film Corp. OF
Delaware, an enemy" of the
United States under Federal
statutes.
Mrs. st. George, through her at
torney, Lewis H. Shapiro, vigor-
ously denied any enemy taint or
the part of herself or her hus-
band. Her lawyer emphasized that
one of Mrs, st. Georges chief aims
in the action was to establish this
point.
The settlement agreement was
reached before Judge Richmond B
Keech. The figure was based on

Retail Food Increases
Not All Due 10 Farm
Prices, Probers Say
BY tho Assoeiaied Press

The Senate Agriculture Com
mittee said yesterday that infor-
nation thus far obtained in its
food price investigation shows that
not all of the recent retail in
creases are due to higher farm
prices.
In a preliminary report issued
by the committee, Chairman FL
lender said the committee is tax
ing no position at this time on the
reasonableness of price changes so
far reported.
The report said the committee
is concerned about recent ad-
evances in food prices and state
ments which have appeared in the
press blaming farmers for these
increases"
Many Sold Before Increases.
It added that many Of the farm
products were already sold by
farmers before the price increases
occurred and that in some cases
farmers received lower prices for
commodities in 1850 than in 1949
even though these products now
are selling at sharply higher re-
tail prices.
Senator Ellender said reports
were obtained from several repre-
sentative professors of canned
fruits and vegetables and from
several retail food chains.
The report said:
Current retail prices of the more
important cuts of beef are higher
in relation to either wholesale beef
or live cattle prices than a. year
ago.

Between the latter part of jan
uary, 1850, and the later part of
