'Grubstake'
 Fcy Prospetfors Discussed Now

HALEY, Idaho, Oct. 20-iR--A grub stake" for the prospector - forgotten man in the government financed search for scarce metals appeared today as the most likely suggestion to come out of Con- gressional committee hearing on the program.
 If the government really wants these minerals, it's got to grub stake the prospectors." Ray Haw- ley, Arco, Idaho, miner, told House Interior and Insular Affairs stra- tegic metals subcommittee.
 Its got to say here's grub stake; we'll split 50-50 on what ever you find'.'
 Rep. Wesley D'Ewart (R-Mont) who is conducting the hearing. said there was no question of the nations needing the minerals.
 "We're having to redesign some of the machines of war because cer- tain minerals are so scarce" he said.
 D'Ewart said he thought Presi- dent Truman could set up grub stake program under present laws by directive.
 As the program now stands, the government makes production loans only to operators who can pay part of the cost.
 There's no place in it for the prospector without any money said Ernest Ellis, former University of Idaho Mine professor who is a mining engineer for the Defense Minerals Administration. "All he can do is get out of mining and go to work"
 Fred Shirts, Hailey miner, claimed that only the large operators with enough money to send an engineer back to Washington to lobby" were getting the government production loans. His application for one was rejected.
 The government is giving no consideration to the two-man op- cration," he declared. Ellis replied that loans as small as $500 have been made and that the 151 loans made through Sept. 20 averaged about $40,000.

 The attack broke the relative quiet that has prevailed in the dis puted British-held Canal Zone ir the last two days.
 Port Saia had been calm after rioting Tuesday afternoon during which Egyptian customs and other officials left their offices to the British. The British said they oc- cupied the offices only until the Egyptians wanted to return.
 Achievements Come
 Meanwhile. from Cyprus came word that the British garrison on the island was completely stripped to reinforce the 4G.000 Tommies in Egypt with full brigade of para chute troops.
 In Cairo, Egyptian officials de- livered formal protest note ac- cusing Britain of "endangering peace in the middle east" and blaming her for Wednesdays pre- dawn battle at the Fl Ferdan bridge over the canal. Two Egyptian sol- diers were killed in the battle.
 Egypt is trying to annex the Su- dan after repudiating 52-year-old agreement to share jointly with Britain in ruling the country. Repudiate Pact
 An Egyptian official said British controlled forces in the Sudan in- clude 1,500 British regulars, 5000 police and 5000 native Sudanese against only 1,500 men under Abdel Hadi's orders.
 The Egyptians have publicly sworn to throw the British out of the Suez Canal area.
 The Egyptian government has re- pudiated the 20-year defense pact with Britain five years ahead of its expiration. The treaty permitted British troops to use Egyptian bases for a 10,000-man army and 400 plane air force to defend the canal.
