PALMER, R-The $50,000 Am erican Legion building was de- stroyed by fire Saturday after noon as volunteer firemen toiled sfutilely in 15-below-zero weather to extinguish the blaze.
 The fire is believed to have started in the basement of the single-story frame structure.
 More than a hundred volunteers from widely scattered parts of the Matanuska Valley were called after the blaze was discovered at 1:3O pm. They were directed by Fire Chief Ray Lancaster, who also is the Palmer Legion com mander.

Bureau of Mines Installs Uranium Testing Equipment

Installation of equipment by the
 Bureau of Mines at Juneau to test
 uranium ore samples in Alaska
 was announced Friday by Secre- tary of the Interior Douglas Nc Kay.
 Mckay said the decision to pro- vide the free service to prospec- tors and others was based on the fact that several uranium finds have been made recently in south
 eastern Alaska.
 Addition of the Juneau station
 brings to II the number of Bureau laboratories to which the public
 can send samples for radioactivity tests. All such examinations are
 conducted under a cooperative ar
 rangement with the Atomic Ener- gy Commission.
 The Bureau now tests some 5000 samples a month for pros
 pectors in the continental United States, compared with approxi-
 mately 1000 monthly during the
 first half of 1854, Bureau Director J. J. Forbes disclosed.
 | The number of samples sent to the Bureau by prospectors in Al
 aska was negligible until only few months ago. As recently as last July only six were received. Since then, uranium strikes in
 southeastern Alaska by two hus- | band and wife teams who detected deposits while flying instrument
 equipped planes over Prince of Wales Island and confirmed the
 presence of uranium by ground
 examination, have been widely
 publicized in the territory. So has detailed exploration by a large mining company of the more promising of the finds.
 These discoveries aroused so
 much interest that Alaska pros
 pectors submitted AZ ore samples to the Bureau for radioactivity tests in August and 56 in Septem-
 Der, reported s. H. Lorain of Ju- 1 neau, the Bureaus assistant re-
 gional director for Alaska.
