Gunfire Accompanies Uranium Strike In California Desert

. BARSTOW, Calif., R-Gunfire echoed in the desolate foothills of the Ord Mountains this week as California's newest uranium rush got underway.
 Sheriff's deputies said last night that between 1000 and 2,0OO prospectors-some of them anna teurs who brought their families along-are searching for uranium in the furnace-hot, snake-infested hills.
 Sheriff Frank Bland of San Bernardino County said two doz- en shots were fired Monday in the area in what was believed to be a claim-jumping fracas. Depu- ties said no one was hurt. Who took part in the incident is mystery.
 Bland told prospectors to leave children behind and bring plenty of water. The center of the strike is in the Mojave Desert 25 miles southeast of Barstow
 The nearest water is at New berry, 10 miles to the northwest on U. s. Highway 66. Tempera- lures reached 1O6 and 1O8 degrees in the area yesterday.
 Deputies said the rush appar- ently started after Donald Ce- derof of Bountiful, Utah, staked claims in the Ord Mountains last week. They were reported to con- tained extra high grade ore.

Russia Expected Ask All 60 U.N.s For Peace Pledge

SAN FRANCISCO, RARussia's VIM. Molotov was expected to bring into the open today his de- mands for a United Nations dec laration pledging all it's 60 mem bers to work for peace.
 Western diplomats believed this would be the center piece of the foreign policy statement which the Soviet foreign minister was to make before the U.N.'s 10th anni- versary session.
 Molotov was reported last night to have given the Western Big Three foreign ministers a partial reply to their proposals for set ting up the summit talks in Gen eva next month.
 Informed quarters said the So- viet foreign minister had made reservations on only one import ant point, namely the Western proposal to limit the talks to four or six days. He was understood to have expressed the belief that no time limit should be placed on the Geneva talks.
 Henry Cabot Lodge Jr., per manent US. delegate, proposed in a statement that all nations give the JUN. information on radiation fallout in nuclear tests. Veteran U. N. observers speculated that Russia was not yet likely to sub init any important data on it's nuclear explosions. Lodge urged the cooperation so ''all nations can be satisfied that humanity is not endangered by these tests"

COLUMBUS, Ohio (CNS) Are
co-ops taxed like other corporations
That's the question Columbus Town
Meeting heard debated, recently.
Jerry Voorhis, the Cooperative
leagues executive director, said they
are A National Tax Equality Asso-
citation spokesman, Paul L. Courtney,
said they aren't.
Big difference between the speak
ers related to refunds that co-ops
make to their customers. Courtney
said that unless the federal govern
ment taxes these refunds, co-ops have
an advantage over their competitors.
Voorhis showed that no business is
taxed on refunds, coupons, trading
stamps, discounts, or rebates that
it gives its customers. A tax on coop
refunds he said, would be penalty
tax" on non-profit business.
Courtney argued that coop re-
funds are essentially the same as
business profits. Voorhis said this
is ridiculous" Refunds, he said, go
to customers; profits go to owners
either in dividends or by increasing
the value of their stock.
Voorhis pointed out that co-ops,
generally speaking, pay corporate in

BANKERS INFLUENCE a
THREAT TO POWER CO-OPS

ALBERT LEA, Mimi CNS)-
National policies directed "in the in
terest of money lenders" threaten
rural power co-ops, Governor Or
vile Freeman said here recently. He
spoke to 900 people at Freeborn-
Mower Cooperative Light & Power
Associations annual meeting.
Freeman said money lenders al
ready have benefited at the expense
of the people" through federal poll
cies that increased interest rates.
Nov Hoover task force has recon-
mended the end of government loans
to rural electric co-operatives.
"A committee of IL - including
five bankers, one bank director, and
only one person who knows anything
about Rural Identification Admins
tration--advocated that electric CO.
ops seek financing on the open mar
ket."
Freeman said this would weaken
rural power co-ops and finally force
them to sell out to private power
firms. He credited co-ops with bring
ing electricity to the countryside
after private firms had failed.

20% royalty than to risk losing the
lease under competitive bidding at
an auction.
Whether applications for lease
should be public property brought out
considerable discussion. Uranium in
terests said if applications were made
public-large interests could have
someone sit in the land office and
file many applications on each tract
and outbid the little fellow who found
a "strike" and this would discourage
prospecting.
Attorney General Arnold Olsen
thought the state would benefit from
whatever competitive bidding would
result from more than one applica-
ton for lease.
The decision of the board was to
authorize the land board to announce
yes or no to anyone asking if there
was an application on any given tract
but no further information would be
given.
Forms for prospecting for other
will be drawn from the
uranium prospecting lease due to APP
plications showing interest and ac-
tivity in the state.-G. G. B.

What do we do with these young
people?
Students aren't the only ones who
can't find work. Naturally, and as
| it should be, men with families get
the first claim on jobs that are avail
able, then students, then the minority
groups. The Indians on Hill 81 in

1t may be more than coincidence
that Herbert Hoover is telling people
to start looking around corners again.
Deep pain results from a man not
being able to satisfy the need for
work and constructive application
of human resources. Moral and spirit
ual decay set in. 1t makes radicals
