Britain Reports Discovery
Of Uranium in NIGERIA
BY the Assoeiofed Press

LONDON, June 3.-The British
government disclosed today that
one of the worlds biggest deposits
Of uranium-the raw material OF
the atom bomb-has been found
in Nigeria.
The field lies in the north CEN
trail part of the British West Afri-
can colony. 20 miles from the
nearest railway.
Biologists who reported the find
estimated that each ton of ore
contains $14 worth of uranium
and niobium, a scarce metal used
in heat-resistant alloys for jet en-
'gines. That would make the ore
more valuable than many high
grade gold deposits.
The report said the field covers
about 200 acres and that there is
700, 900 tons of ore to the vertical
foot. The depth Of the deposit is
so far unknown.
Disclosure of the find was made
by DR.. r. A. Mackay and K. E.
Beer in an official government
publication.

BY the Assoeiated Pres,

SACRAMENTO, Calf, June 3
Two young mothers who slowed
away to Guam on an Air Force
B-29 have been placed on a years
probation. s.

er Of three. and Mrs. Maxine Allen,
%, who has one child, both plead
ed guilty. They already had lost
their Mcclellan jobs as a result of

urged them to adjust their lives
so their children would have the
upbringing to which they are en-
titled"

employe unions on all personnel
matters and grievances.
DEFENSE DEPT.-Some De-
|partment officials, are baking at
giving any permanent promotions
to their employees when the new
Whitten amendment becomes law.
The new rider will permit promo
tions up to levels existing on Sep
tember I. 1850.
The defense officials contend
such permanent promotions would
be administratively difficult and
would result in discrimination
against many qualified employees
who could not be converted to
permanent status because of the
September /, 1850 limitation
Such a program would create re-
sentiment and lower morale, they
contend.
Final decision, however, has not
been made by the Defense Depart
ment. Also, the Civil Service
Commission will have to rule on
the issue.
