. What makes the Nau-Nau
theory plausible is that most
of the Germans just arrested
have had past dealings with
the Arab world.
One Nauman firm also is
conducting extensive indus
trial experiments" in the ura-
nium-rich Belgian Congo.
German reports say nothing
alarmed the British so much
as when they found in Maui
mann's Office a stack of docu-
ments relating to the Congo.
Others who see more than
meets the average eye in the
British arrests have another
theory: That the Kremlin is
involved with these Nazis.
They think the British have
taken the first overt move
against a sinister Nazi-Com-
munist conspiracy to foment
civil war in West Germany and
eventually to seize power there.
Reds Woo Arobs
They see the current Soviet
move against Jews as a bid for
latent Nazi support in West
Germany and a move to
strengthen the Russian Ger
man position in the Arab
world, which is still at war with
Israel. Another aim of this
Nazi- Communist coalition is
said to be to defeat the Euro
pean army plan. The third
step would be to foment
civil Observation-Disclosures by
putsches-in West Germany.

Of gold mining in South AZ
RIGA.
Australia bids fair to be an
other primary source of urani-
UNI. Last July Acc signed
contract for the purchase of
ore from the So-called Radium
Hill area of South Australia.
This was followed by an agree
ment to buy ore from Rum
jungle near Darwin.
Heroic Binee
The Rum Jungle name is
said to memorable a heroic
hinge staked by an early set
tier and his companions. Pre-
sumably the settler did not
know what sort of mineral
bearing soil he had settled on.
Possibly-after the party-he
was beyond caring.
The free world is not the
only producer of uranium. It it
were, there would be little feel
ing of urgency in getting out
the metal. One of the impor-
tant sources is in the hands of
the Russians. It is the de-
posits in the Erzegebirge
Mountains on the border of
Saxony in Bohemia. The chief
mine there is at Joachimstahl.
So precious is the ore to the
Russians that they are re-
ported to be flying it from the
mines to Leningrad.
In the meantime Americas
proSpectors and biologists con-
tinue to find new deposits here.
A real bonanza-even a $10,-
600 prize winner-still is Just
a pick-wielder's dream, but
every little bit found helps
America keep up it's atomic
guard.

Presidents Words About the District
Seem Less Sensational in Retrospect

In retrospect. implications
for the District in President Eli

message seem much less SEN
sational.

pose" said the President, ito

will have to effect any changes

Commissioner Donohue thinks

Gen. Eisenhower did not
even say he would propose or
support specific legislation. He
promised only to do whatever

The Naumann group is also
alleged to have contacts with
East Zone German figures like
Gen. Vincent Mueller, former
Nazi general now said to be
training the East German
army, and with missing Nazis,
not only in Spain and Africa,
but also in South America.
There is even some specula-
ton that the man behind the
whole Nazi-Red plot might be
Martin Bormann, missing heir
apparent of Hitler, sometimes
said to be waiting in South
America for a propitious re-
turn.
Speculative Story
Both theories about the Sin
side story" OF the British ar
rests are highly speculative.
But their basic premise that
the old Nazis are bound to try
for a comeback, is sound. Dur
ing World War II 6.5 million
German men were Nazi Party
members. None of our officials
are kidding themselves into
believing that all of these men
have been converted to de-
mocracy.
Whether the world gets any
more information about the
Nazi arrests from the close
mouthed British secret service
is highly doubtful. No coun-
try's intelligence service is in
the habit of Dragging about
it's successes. The only sure
way of getting confirmation
for any of these theories
would be the unpleasant way
if the Nazis actually were to
get back into power. Better

After the arrests were made,
the British promised to give
Herr Adenauer a complete fill
in on what they know about
DR.. Naumann's group. Mean
while, newspapermen and dab
blers in foreign intrigue are
building up theories of their

The Nou-Nou Cose
The German press refers to
the incident as the "Nau-Nau"
case. This is a play on words
intended to link DR.. Naumann's
alleged plot with the Mau-Mau
terrorism that has plagued the
British in East Africa. The
Naumann case actually does
have a close link with African
affairs. For Naumann was
hooked up with a strategically
placed string of Nazis, many of
whom lived in Egypt and the
Belgian Congo.
One theory on the British
arrests is that they were timed
to nip in the bud a Nazi plot
to take over or work closely
with Gen. Mohammed Naguib

Proponents of this theory
claim the British secret serv-

this plot against British in

than to forestall any Nazi

British occupation officials
picked up seven former Nazis
in Germany recently, and
Speculations about the real
reason" behind the raid have
been making the rounds in
European capitals ever since.
The British explanation was
simple. They said the former
Nazi leaders were plotting to
take over Western Germany
again. It was said the NaziS
were "infiltrating" three poll
teal parties, the Free Demo-
Gratis, the German Party. and
the Alderman Bloc, formerly
the pro-Nazi Refugee Party.
The first two parties form part
of Chancellor Adenauer's gov
eminent coalition in Western
Germany.
Chancellor Adenauer did not
like the British action for two
reasons. First, he did not think
it was cricket for the British
to make the arrests without
tipping him off first. Second,
he thought the British were
exaggerating the influence of
the seven men arrested. He
said the rest of the world
would get the wrong impress
sion. Germany is definitely
through with Naziism, he be-
lieves, and the well-publicized
arrests by British authorities
spread the impression that the
discredited Hitler credo was
still a real threat.

A young geologists's excited
announcement recently that he
had found In Utah a vein Of
the most valuable kind Of ura-
MUM ore may turn out to mean
discovery of just another tiny
deposit, but the young man
can be sure Uncle Sam will buy
every ounce he can dig out. It
has been q meticulous scrap ,
ing together of such deposits
as, this-and others of much
lower-grade ore-that has
brought the United States into
second place in the worlds
production of uranium.
The United States has
climbed ahead Of Canada and
!. now trails only the Belgian
Congo. This is remarkable be-
cause most of Americas ore is
low-grade carnotite, found in
scattered deposits on the Colo
RADIO plateau.
Supply Adequate Here
Americas uranium hunters
must supply the big plants at
Oak Ridge, Tenn, and Han
ford, Greg. Atomic Energy
Commission plants also are
under way at Savannah River,
Ga; Paducah, KY, and in the
Portsmouth area of Ohio.
Chairman Gordon Dean of the
Acc was asked whether assured
supplies of ore will be suffi-
Gent to keep all these plants
in operation.
His answer was a significant,
Eyes" What our total pro-
duction amounts to, though, is
q most carefully guarded secret.
The demand for uranium as
q fashionable material sent
prospectors through the Col
orado plateau again and re-
opened old mines that once
had been worked for radium
or vanadium. The plateau is
q. vast, arid tableland. It
covers about $4,000 square
miles and extends from South
west Colorado into the adj
joining areas of Utah, Arizona
and New Mexico.
The mineral is a Sedimentary
type of deposit. It is found
usually in the sandstone that
rims the canyons and but
treSSes the mesaS. The deposits
are scattered over a wide
area and the mines are usually
small. Trucks. frequently nego-
tiating tortuous trails, carry
the ore to concentrating plants.
Vanadium, used chiefly as an
alloy in steel, is recovered at
the same time.
Bonus Offer
Ores have been found in the
Black Hills area of South Da-
kota and adjacent areas on
Wyoming. There have been
some promising pitchblende
deposits found in Western
Utah and in what is known
as the Colorado Front Range.
There is still another do
nestle source - the small
amounts of uranium in phos-
phate rock found along the
Gulf Coast and in some Wes-
tern States.
Much has been made of the
$4,000 bonus offer of the
Atomic Energy Commission
for the discovery, with various
provisos. of new ore deposits.
So far that bonus has never
been collected. There is also
a system of bonus payments
per pound of uranium oxide in
various ores. This may range
up to $4,000.

To those who have felt Jim
Flanagan a utilities tool, this
will be final proof Of what they
have known all along. To
those who have known Jim
Flanagan and the type of pub
lie service he has rendered, 1t
is only a peculiarly ill-timed
conclusion to a long and hon.
orable career.
Senator Nicely, former chair
man of the Senate District
Committee in days of Demo-
cratic control. says he will
propose legislation to prevent
this sort of thing-to forbid q
member of a public regulatory
body from taking employment
with one of the regulated COM
panies for a period Of two
years after leaving public serv-
ice. Representative Hyde. Re-
publican, of Maryland thinks
1t might be unconstitutional to
tell a man what employment
he may or may not take OUT
side of public service. How
ever, some Government law
yers and other officials such as
the Controller of the Currency
have been under similar re-
strictions for years without
the question of constitution
atty being brought up. At
any rate, such a bill as the
Nicely proposal is a long way
from a sure thing.
For this columns money,
Jim Flanagan gave the Dis
trict top quality low-cost serv-
ice for II years, during which
he probably forgot more public
utilities lore than some mem
bers of the PUG have known.
He's taking a bum rap because
of bum timing.
