 Engulfed in Flame From Butane Blast
By PERRY MULLEN

MELDRIM, Ga, tR - Disaster teams stepped up operations at the swirling Ogeechee River today, searching for more victims of a freak butane gas explosion on a Seaboard Air Line freight train.
 Seventeen known dead have been counted since the mid-after- noon blast yesterday sent blan- ket of flame over some 175 persons in a recreation area below a river trestle the train was crossing.
 Many more were injured in the fiery catastrophe and Savannah hospitals still had 13 persons re- ceiving treatment.
 Two tanker cars became gigan- tic flame -throwers, spewing blaz- ing butane over the fun-seekers in the area below the 30-foot wooden trestle.
 The railroad said the explosion of one butane tanker set off a second loaded with 10000 gallons Of the cooking and heating fuel.
 The blast turned the Ogeechee river bank into blackened ruins several hundred yards from the trestle. It caught some of the vic tims in the water, others on the bank. Children scared by the flames floundered in the river or ran screaming from the spot.
 Most of the 124 cars in the Sea- board Air Line Railroad freight had cleared the 3O-foot-high tres tie before the crash. None fell in the water, but several piled up on the bank and burned through the night.

VANCOUVER, B. c, lR - An 18-plane Canadian-U. s. search team Sunday failed to find any trace of a light plane missing on a flight from Vancouver to Alaska.
 Missing is owner-pilot J. Van VaIkenburn, of Ketchikan, the only man aboard.
 The search started again today at dawn.
 Search and rescue officials in Vancouver said the fleet has secured the entire route and sur rounding territory, some of it four times.

SteelwOrkers Delay Strike Two Weeks

NEW YORK, LR - Steelworkers President David J. Mcdonald said today the extension of work con- tracts for two more weeks should spur the steel industry to ''some negotiating statesmanship."
 He made the comment after the unions 35-man executive board and 171-member Wage-policy com mittee met and approved the post ponement of strike deadline for two weeks, until midnight July IA.
 Industry and union negotiators previously had agreed to the post ponement at the behest of Presi- dent Eisenhower, thus averting a likely strike which had been set for tomorrow night.
 "We are attempting to give in dustry an opportunity to show some negotiating statesmanship, :" Mcdonald told a news conference.
 The industry position against granting any labor cost increases still stands. This was made clear in statement by R. Conrad Coo- per, chief industry negotiator.

Dr. Edward Teller Tells IN. w. Alaskans Cheaper Mining May Result from Blast

Dr. Edward Teller, noted nu- clear physicist and director of the proposed atomic blast to create a harbor at Cape Thompson, arrived here Sunday morning and spoke briefly at an impromptu lunch con yesterday.
 ''The Japanese people were the first to suffer by atomic blast; how wonderful it would be if they might be the first to benefit from the harbor at Cape Thompson" stated pr. Teller. He explained that this proposed blast would pro- duce a harbor making it possible to mine the rich known deposits of coal along the far north ern Arctic coastal area. Japan has great need for coal which is now being shipped to them from the eastern coast of the United States and is Investigating the possibli- ties of obtaining coal from some part OI AldShd.
 Will Hasten Peacetime Atoms
 Dr. Teller, who is professor of physics at the University of Cali fornia at Berkeley, and associate director of the Lawrence Radia- tion Laboratory at Livermore, ex- plained that the results of this first peace-time experiment, if completed, would do much to has ten the use of atomic energy in other commercial ventures. Of par ticular interest to this part of Alaska would be the use of this method in mining, where the re- moval of the overburden might be not only quickened but much more economical than the present thaw- ing method. Dr. Teller expressed an interest in the iron ore depos- it's west of Nome, which, accord ing to Charles Jones, goes to the depth of 1000 feet.

when the system really gets under way.
 Dr. Teller studied in Germany, and received his doctorate from the University of Leipzig in 1930- His main scientific contributions are in the fields of chemical phys ics and nuclear physics. Known as the Father of the Atom Bonb," Dr. Teller has, received many awards, among which are the Albert Einstein Award and the Joseph Priestly Memorial Award from Dickinson College in Pennsylvania
 Mrs. Teller accompanied her husband and they are enroute to Cape Thompson at the Ogotoruk Creek campsite for the first time
 With them are Rod Southwick, public relations representative of the Plowshare program and sup port co-ordinator of the Lawrence Radiation Laboratory, and Clifford Bacigalupi, who arrived here Sat urday and met with interested persons in the U. s. Court Rom where they explained Operation Chariot and answered many questions.
 Bacigalupi explained that the experimental data collected this summer by biologists, geologists, the U. Sl Weather Bureau, Fish and Wildlife, Arctic Health Re search, General Electric Co.,, and representatives of other groups, will be carefully studied until January, and if the project meets with the approval of the Atomic Energy Commission at that time, more studies will continue next summer. At that time construction and preparation programs will be inaugurated, so that the blast may be made in the spring of 1861. Springtime Is Best
 .Bacigalupi stated that to date the studies indicate that early springtime will be the best time for blasting of the harbor. For it's at this time the biological, weather and control conditions are the most favorable, he said.
 This summer there will be about 75 persons at the camp. The research will start sometime this week and will taper off about the first of October. There will be necessary housing constructed and an airstrip for the landing of the twin Beech aircraft which will be used by the party.
 Core holes will be drilled for a distance of about 1000 feet, for analysis.
 Five holes will be made for the actual blast, and will be drilled 36 inches in diameter and about 500 feet deep.
 As for fallout, there will be some, stated Rod Southwick, but mostly underground and will soon be dissipated, so that the harbor may safely be used six months atfer the blast.
 Questions concerning the de- struction of fish were put to the officials. They answered that the blast increases the abundance of fish, as it has proven in the South Pacific.
 Anyone having questions con corning the project are urged to write to Rod Southwick, in care of the,Atomic Energy Commission, San Francisco, Calif., or to James Sugden, project officer, Operation Chariot, Kotzebue. Queries may also be left at The Nugget office

A relatively crude knife and
fork for eating had evolved by
the time of the middle ages.
Pieces were smaller and easier
to handle. But as late as the
Renaissance, the fork was used
only as server. Meat was

Waste Is Key To
High Feed Costs

Higher feed costs can raise
egg production costs in a hurry,
according to poultry specialist
Ralph BarWick, University of
Delaware. The feed bill is about
60 to 65 percent of the cost of
producing a dozen eggs. One of
the best ways to hold costs
down is to cut feed waste.
If feed cost per dozen eggs is
20 cents with feed hoppers kept
one-third full, it will jump to 26
cents with the hoppers COM
pletely full, Barwick says. Hens
waste nearly half of the feed in
a full feeder, so never fill feed
ers more than one-third to one
half full.
The cost of 100 pounds of
feed is important, but it is not
the only factor to consider,
Barwick says. For example, it
costs from $40 to $40 year to
keep a rat.
Another way to cut feed costs
is to keep production high. A
hen laying $50 eggs a year eats
somewhat more feed than one
laying only 100 eggs; but as pro-

Lower Food Costs
Forecast For 49,
Beef Price Rises

Your 1859 grocery bill might
drop below 1853 little.
This is indicated from some
facts and figures released by the
Agricultural Marketing Service,
according to Mrs. Marjorie
Whitaker, nutrition specialist
at the University of Delaware.
Retail prices of a few import
ant items in the national food
supply are likely to average be-
low 1858 levels, and most 9TH
ers are expected to run about
the same as in 1858, according
to the Agricultural Marketing
Service.
Consumers will have larger
supply of pork, lard and chick
en-, and possibly lamb and NUT
ton, per capita in 1859 than in
1858, but about the same guam
tity of beef and veal, eggs and
turkey, and dairy products. Con-
sumer demand for food is ex-
pected to continue at a high lev
ell in 1859.
The supply of some commod-
tiles temporarily reduced in
1858 will recover from the de-
cline during the past year. How
ever, none of these is believed
TO be beef or veal, as cattlemen
are expected to continue with
holding breeding stocks this
year to build up their herds.
People consumed SIN a e r
quantities of red meat, eggs, and
turkey; fresh and processed cit
rus fruits and fresh vegetables,
potatoes, sWeetpotatoes. Partly
offsetting these reductions, Mrs.
Whitaker says, were higher per

Record Plans Can
Up Milking Yield

The highest producing milk
cows are usually the most pro-
fitable cows in the herd,> Edward
Schabinger, acting Extension
dairyman says.
Dairy Herd Improvement AS
sociation figures show that as
the volume of milk goes up, the
return per dollar spent for feed
also climbs. Of course, this is
true only up to a certain point,
but few dairymen have to worry
about reaching that point of
diminishing return, Schabinger
said.
For example, a COW producing
from $500 to 3,499 pounds of
milk returns the dairyman only
$1.85 for every ST spent for
feed. Compare this with the s.
500-6,499 pound producer, re-
turning $2.36; the l0,500-ll, ,499,
returning $2.49; and on up to
the l3,500-l4,499 producer, re-
turning $2.67 for every dollar
spent for feed.
How can you be absolutely
sure which of your cows are the
high producers? The only way
you can know for sure is by
keeping dairy records. Equally
sleek, handsome cows may be
totally different in their milk
producing ability. You can
choose from three recordkeep-

Now that the Legislature is in session
it would be something to have it change

also on joint bank accounts. AS it is
now the widow files a deed to their
little home or small bank account and
the whole estate must be probated
which will cost up to about 20% or
more with the lawyer and court costs.
1t seems that some other way could
be taken to collect the small amount
due the state and federal taxes other
than spending this amount of the es-
tate on lawyers and court costs.

at present you can't expect any help

Living Costs Reach
AII-Time High (Again)

WASHINGTON, D. -(AFL-CIO)
Living costs for working people anc

November to the alltime high record
set last July, the government report
ed. The latest figures of the Bureau
of Labor Statistics show that the head
of the house and his wife and chill
dren had to spend $12.39 for the
same goods and services that cost $40
in 1947-49.
Meantime, the idea that trade un-
ions have caused the rise in the cost
of living was shown to be manage
ment propaganda. Testifying before
the Congressional Economic Commit
tee, Peter Henle, AFL-CIO economist,
gave figures showing that average
prices for unionized sectors of the
economy increased 51a per cent dur
ing the March 1956-March 1858 pc
riod, while they rose 1912 per cent in
the non-unionized sectors.
Two other AFL-CIO economists,
Stanley Ruttenberg and Nat Gold
finger, pointed out that while real
gross national product increased by
10 per cent in 1947-57, payrolls of
manufacturing production workers
went up only 71a per cent, research
and development costs by 207 per
cent, depreciation costs by 53 per
cent and interest costs by 45 per
