McElroy Plans Co., Ahead on Both Nike, Bomarc

WASHINGTON, LR - A com promise decision to continue both the Nike and Bomarc missile pro grams at cutIback level was re- ported in the making yesterday.
 An influential Congressional of ficial said he had been informed that Secretary of Defense Neil H. McElroy plans to recommend a go- ahead for both the Nike-Hercules and Bomarc missiles.
 But he said the Secrtary is likely to propose to President Els enhower a reduction in outlays for both of the missiles, since they represent air defense only against bombs at a time when chances of missile attacks are growing. This decision was expected to depend in part on the reports McElroy receives on progress toward ob- taining the Nike-Zeus antimissile missile.
 Eisenhower told his news con- ference Wednesday that "a com plete and exhaustive" survey of the missile field is being made by McElroy and should be completed within 10 days.
 The Army and the Air Force have been squabbling over the respective merits of their missiles and House and Senate committees also have taken opposing stands.

Indications Point To U. s. Raising Price for Gold
From inc Division of Mines and Minerals Bulletin

Approximations that the price of gold will rise are increasing steadily. The public's interest in gold is mounting, and it seems to be the subject of almost countless articles and discussion. Gold stocks are active. One author says the price will go up by 1862 for sure because there will be change of administration before then. An other says that the rise in gold is inevitable because a financial crisis is approaching that will cause it. A good friend of our making a special study of the sit uation wrote to us recently say ing he was left with the in escapable conclusion that a price increase cannot be safely deferred for more than a year"
 The Administration and the h. ternational Monetary Fund are standing pat. A group of senators and representatives, including the Alaska delegation, met with Treasury Secretary Anderson on the matter, and heard him oppose it once again. A spokesman for the group quoted Anderson as say ing that increasing the price of gold would be equivalent to de- valuing the dollar and that any change in the gold price would have serious world repercussions.
 The Alaskan Senators have in troduced a bill in Congress to help tin mining. It would provide for the purchase of lode tin at $1.40 per pound and placer tin at SIPS, and would set up delivery points to include one at Seattle.
 The largest bucket line dredges in the world are a pair that are mining tin in Indonesia. They have hulls 246 feet long and are as tall as a 9-story building from water level to roof top. The bucket lad ders are 216 feet long, dig to a depth of 100 feet below water level, and carry 148 IA cubic foot buckets weighing 4,O25 pounds each.
