hit with JCM while he was mere
on furloush. How she made out is
the question. CD left the city for
Michigan recently. Was it because
she and SUB couldn't decide
where the wedding bells should
ring? Why did BDP mistake Dill
for one of the professors h e
other day? Was it because of his
size or because he Is so deep In
Biology? What has happened to
JEM and TW? For some reason
they don't get around much any
more in Carthage but they seem
to make hit in Thornton. What
has RID been day dreaming about
since the tournament? Could II
be EA? Who is the new guy that
stopped OBS from singing please
send me someone to Love-? Hey,
what's the big idea Of QkS for
changing her hair style SO often
She must be trying to make a
new hit. Have you noticed how
helpful LA is to Rim? I guess it
is because she is making eyes at
her brother RIM $500. Lloyd, Jr.

Men In Russia's slave 1abol
uranium mines must Chamber
nearly 500 feet down wooden
ladders SO slick many fall to Their
death. the State Department radio
reported today.
The Voice of America" was
broadcasting what it called an
eyewitness account of life in a
uranium mine in Russian ruled
East Germany. The account said
high-grade ore is so precious il
is flown to Lenningrad for Russia 's
atomic production program. But
working methods were described
as so antiquated that ore come.
from the mines in sacks, bucket,
and even knapSackS.
Other "first-hand" sources, thu
Voice" said, told of pit disaster.
due to "lack of safety precautions
miserable working conditions ane
even sabotage"
The latest mine mishap was re.
ported recently from the uranium
mining area outside of Zwickau

Slovak border. with nine workmer
reported killed and Is others in.
jured.
Quoting an unidentified worker
who finally managed to escape
to the West" the voice gave this
picture of life in a mine in the
Frohnau region:
"The pits where we worked are
about $50 meters (490 feet) deep
We went down into these shafts
on wooden ladders, each one
about eight meters (26 feet)
high. Each ladder connects to
the shaft below. These ladders
cause many fatal accidents be-
cause they get wet and slippery
During the winter the ladders get
icy. This means more accidents
Last year about 80 miners
were killed in my mine from
falling. A lot more were killed
when underground shafts fell in
on them.
THE uranium ore is brought to
the surface in buckets, in ordi-
nary sacks, and in knapSacks. The
quota of each brigade Go mem
for each shift is from five to eight
