Uranium Rush Spurs
Penny Stock Sales,
Congress Unit Told
BY the Assoeioied Press

Congress has been told that
the new uranium rush has set
of a stock market furry featur-
ing penny-a-share investments.
Newton I. Steers, jr., an in
vestment counselor specializing
in atomic issues, said some peo-
pie are making money on their
cut-rate stocks, although there
are 'high odds" against breaking
even.
Mr.. Steers told the Senate
House Atomic Energy Committee
yesterday that at least q dozen
new companies have issued stock
in the last year solely to get
capital to prospect for uranium,
a principal raw material for
atomic energy.
He named IA companies
which he said originally issued
stock at from ! cent to 20 cents
a share. In one instance, he
added, penny stock jumped to
26 cents. but a 2-cent issue is
still hobbling around at 8 cents.
Investors, Mr.. Steers added,
have sunk 1925 million into
mining and prospecting for
uranium and other atomic raw
materials. Most American pro-
duction comes from the Colorado
plateau.
The prospecting boom, he
added. is due at least partly to
the fact the Government has

Fines and Jail Terms
Imposed on ILA for
Dock Strike Violation
BY the A.soeiaisd Pres.

NEW YORK, May 12.-Fines
totaling $92.500 have been added
to the woes Of the old Inter-
national Longshoremen's Associ-
alton ILA). now locked in a
life struggle for control Of dock
workers in the port Of New York.
The fines. plus jail sentences
for three LILA local officials, stem
from waterfront strike which
tied up the port from March 5
to April 2.
They were imposed last night
by Federal Judge Harold p. Burke
shortly after a jury decided the
union had violated a no-strike
injunction and was guilty of
criminal contempt.
Less Than Asked. !
The penalties were far less than
those asked by the National La
bor Relations Board, which
brought court action against the
union. The board asked a $685.
600 fine for the parent lila for
each day of the month long strike
and 100000 fines against eight
of its locals.
Defense attorneys announced
they would appeal the case
today.
The strike flared up in the
midst of tense rivalry between
the old union, which had long
held firm control over dock
workers, and a new LILA set up
by the AFL. Overthrow of the
old lila was sought by the AFL
after it kicked out the union
and revoked its AFL charter last
September on grounds that it
was dominated by racketeers.
An NLRB bargaining election
last December between the two
unions was voided because of
strong-arm tactics by the old
lila, and a second vote had been
set for May 26.
The strike, which hit the port
during the uneasy period after
the first election, brought fine
of $4,000 against the parent
lila and $4,000 each against
seven Of its locals.
Reputation for Violence.
The judge set a heavier PEN
atty of $500 on an eighth local.
No. 824, which ruled the uptown
Hudson River docks of luxury
passenger liners and had been
dubbed the pistol local" because
of its reputation for violence.
A 6-month Jail sentence was
ordered for Harold Bowers, Sec
retary of Local 824. Three-month
terms were given to William P.
Lynch, secretary-treasurer of Lo-
cal 791 and William Ackalitis,
secretary of Local 874.
Before the judge imposed the
penalties, LILA attorneys asked
him to be lenient. The union,
they said, was in a "very pre-
carious" financial position and
any fines would be taken out of
the pockets Of longshoremen."
The lila has received money
from John L. Lewis, head Of the
United Mine Workers, in its
costly fight with the ILA-AFL.

guaranteed the price Of uranium
until 1862. This makes 1t more
gilt edge than gold.
Most of the investors in these
stocks realize the high odds
against their ever getting their
money back. let alone multiply
ing it," he said.
But right now, he added,
nearly every one of the penny
stocks has doubled its price since
issuance"
Mr.. Steers was a witness sup
porting a bill to permit private
industry more leeway to operate
atomic facilities as a means Of
encouraging the development Of
peacetime' power from nuclear
energy.

Mr.. Wilmer declared that at

each year and untold property
damage.
He also urged Statewide laws
for the examination and hcens-

said the Virginia contractors
should take the initiative in
pressing the General Assembly
for action.
Such examinations and licens-
ing are in the hands Of locali-
ties-cities or counties--Mr. Will

Giant Air-Sea Search
Called Off as AirIiner
Reaches Iceland
BY VI. A..oeia.sdp Press

wIESBADEN. Germany. July
31.-A giant air-sea search for q
United States bound airliner re-
ported down in the North Sea
with 70 persons aboard was
called of at the last minute to-
day when word came that the
plane had landed safely in Ice
land.
A spokesman at the United
States Air Force headquarters
tabled as q false alarm" the re-
port that the big plane belonging
to Transocean Airlines had
"ditched' In the North Sea while
en- route from Frankfurt to the
United States.
An alert was flashed across
Europe and Britain earlier today
when Scheveningen maritime ra-
dio station In the Netherlands
broadcast the grim report that
the plane had gone out of radio
contact and probably ditched"
in the North Sea.
British Join Search.
Britain's Air Force was mo-
bilized for the search and calls
went to all ships in the general
area to be on the, lookout. Orders
for an actual search were held
up, however, for word from Ice
land. the planes next scheduled
stop, saying whether it was over
due.
The tension subsidized when
Schiphol Airport at Amsterdam
flashed word that the plane had
made radio contact with Ice
land. A few minutes later the
Scheveningen station Cancelled
its missing report and an
nounced that the aircraft had
arrived safely In Iceland.
Transocean's Office at Frank
furt said the plane left Rhein-
Main Airport yesterday after
noon and arrived In Iceland to-
day on schedule. There was no
explanation of the original re-
port that it had gone out Of
radio contact.
Carried 66 Passengers.
The Transocean manager said
the plane carried 66 passengers,
including United States Army
officers and men travelling from
Germany to the United States.
Later a spokesman at Schiphol
