Mystery: Who Owns S2OO,OOO Worth Silver Ore

HELENA. Mont. tR - Eventual 1y someone may step forth to claim two railroad cars of silver ore worth about S200,000.
 But meanwhile it stands on track inside the yards of the East Helena plant of the American Smelling and Refining Co.,, a n d costs are piling up fast.
 The shipment came from White horse, in the Yukon Territory, but no one knows who owns 1t. A bill of lading with the ore indi- cates it was send by Gerald Henry Priest from Elsa, 220 miles north of Whitehorse.
 Stanley Lane, manager of the East Helena plant, says the Fed eral Bureau of Investigation has visited the smelter, and the Royal Canadian Mounted Police is in- vestigating the mysterious ship ment.
 Lane said that a short time be- fore the cars arrived, he received a call from the United Keno Hill Mining Go. near Whitehorse ask ing him to hold up work on the ore until it's owner is located.
 He said it is probable that the fellow has found a deposit of ore that he doesn't want anyone else to locate, or perhaps there is some question of the ownership of the claim from which the ore wa! mined.'
 J.L. Vachon, an inspector of tht RCMP, said the ore is believed tt have been sent by rail from Whitehorse to SkagWay, Alaska and then by boat to the US. main land. It arrived in Helena from the west coast by rail.
 Lane said the cost of leaving the ore standing on the railroad sid ing is ''piling up pretty fast, but I guess that the value of the ore will pay all costs when 1t Is finally smelted."

JUNEAU LR - State Police said 1 Thursday little doubt remains that a skeleton found on Portland Is- land Saturday is that of John Run dall of Sitka, who vanished from the state ferry Malaspina March 30.
 Capt. Wm. Traitor of the State Police said Mrs. Gladys Over street, a close friend of Rundall's in Sitka, had identified articles found near the skeleton as belong ing to the missing man.
 Mrs Overstreet identified a gold and jade ring with an Alaska flag design and pointed out markings where it had been sized to fit Rundall.
 She also identified a piece of sock and black turtleneck sweat CT as being similar to items of clothing Rundall was wearing when she last saw him, about one and a half hours before he boarded the Malaspina at Sitka, Traitor said.
 Traitor said the woman also gave the point number of a pen that coincided with the number on pen found near the skeleton.
 Traitor said that while there was little doubt the remains were those of Rundall, he did not want to make positive Identification until the X-ray comparison had been completed.

Treasury Dept. Offers
 Services to Bond Owners

Many AlaskanS don't know that if their US. Savings Bonds are lost, stolen or destroyed, the US. Treasury will replace them without charge" Helen Fischer Alaska state director for the Treas. ury's Savings Bonds program said
 Because one in four Alaskans are estimated to own bonds, we want to inform them about the indestructible features of their in- vestment in A m eri c a." Mrs Fischer continued.
 ''In order to protect Landowners, another important safeguard is the fact that bonds are not negotiable or transferable, which of course, means they cannot be used or ac- cepted as collateral or, endorsed over to another person.
 ''The US. Treasury's Bureau of Public Debt receives an average of 260 inquiries a day about re- placing bonds which have been mutilated or have been lost, stolen or destroyed. Requirements are issued without cost.
 For further information con- corning replacement of your bond, see your banker or contact the US. Treasury's Savings Bonds Off, flee at Anchorage" Mrs. Fischer said.

SEVERAL COMPANIES SHOW INTEREST IN
 BUYING ACS SYSTEM
By Fritz Witti
Associated Press Special Serpice


 WASHINGTON R - There are signs of some interest by private parties in buying parts of the Alaska Communications System now operated by the Air Force.
 However, the Air Force off cially states it has not received or solicited information from prospective buyers of the system, in which the Defense Department has invested some $23O million.
 It. Col. Robert EWell, Air Force Director of Command Control and Communications, told a House Ap- propriations Subcommittee the Air Force favors the sale of the system and is actively pushing a bill to allow it.
 We do not believe we belong in the common carrier business and We wish to release mill tary personnel to military duties" Ewell said in testimony made pub lie today.
 Rep. George Andrews, O-AlaO, asked EWell if he had any idea of how many prospective bidders or interested parties there might be if the system were put up for sale.
 ''I have talked to five that know off," Ewell replied.
 All intereSted?" asked Andrews.
 "All interested in large DOT tions," said Ewell. There are a number of independent telephone companies in Alaska, plus some investment firms who would be interested in piece-mealing the operation"
 Ewell said there is no estimate of how much could be gotten for the system but that the Air Force is working to identify salable DOT tions which would provide fair return to an investor.
 In a statement submitted to the committee, the Air Force said:
 "Those government facilities ex- tending from Fairbanks to Anchor age and Juneau to Ketchikan would probably be the most desir- able segments for commercial in- 1 vestment purposes Ewen testified that about 95 per cent of the use of the ACS is for civilian purposes. Referring to the federal invest ment, Rep. Daniel Flood, D-Pa0, commented the system lis a nice round, fat prize to fall in some body's lap"
 "If we keep it long enough and put in enough lace curtains and gold spokes and silver plugs, it will be ready to turn over to some body at nice sacrifice price some Monday morning soon," Flood said.

Cooper
Calmly Responded
Continued from Page D

Calmly Responded Calmly, Cooper respond e d Roger" or "Okay" to Glenn's counsel, and on the 22nd orbit they started the count-down together. A mistake of single second in firing any of the three reverse rockets could mean landing error of seven miles. A few seconds aWry could spell disaster after 560,000 miles of smooth sailing.
 The Kearsarge, where a happy outlook had turned to tension, sent up her search and rescue planes. Imperturbably, Cooper fired his rockets as he scared over the Red China coast near Shanghai. Soon the Kearsarge radarscope located an object 84 miles high, out of sight above thin clouds.
 The waiting men aboard the Kearsarge and two destroyers on station shortly heard the rever- berating thunderclap of sonic boom.
 The Faith 2 popped into view almost dead ahead, dangling from it's 63-foot red and white striped parachute.
 Scorched by it's fall through the atmosphere but solid and intact, it pumped into the 5-foot waves. First official estimates put it a mere 1000 yards off the port bow, but it finally was fixed at A nau- tical miles, $500 yards. "I'm in fine shape" Cooper radioed. He had been aloft 34 hours, 2015 minutes.
 Helicopters dropped frogmen who affixed Notation gear to the capsule. A whaleboat smartly lowed it alongside and a crane lifted it into the hangar deck.
 Cooper blew off the hatch and Dr. Richard Pollard of the Space Agency crawled in and took his blood pressure.
 Cooper crawled out backwards, smiling but evidently giddy. Telephone Calls
 In quick order telephone calls came from President Kennedy. Secretary of the Air Force Eugene Zuckert, and his wife, Trudy, back home in Houston, Tex.
 Many congratulatory radiograms poured in from public officials. The Senate passed an official re- solution of congratulations. Ken nedy invited the new space hero and his family to the White House Tuesday.
 On Midway Saturday he will fly from his trip to Hickam Air Force Base, Honolulu, where his wife Trudy and daughters Canada and Juanita will be awaiting him. It was in Honolulu, as a student at the University of Hawaii, that Cooper met Trldy in 1946.

Pleads to
Loan FoIsity

A home improvement opera
tor yesterday pleaded guilty in
court to a charge that he lied
on an application for a Gov
.ernment-backed loan In behalf
of District couple.
Irving Bohrer, A, listed as
president Of the Suburban
Home Improvement Co., Inc,
Oxen Hill, Md, appeared be-
fore United States District
Court Judge Edward M. Curran.
He pleaded guilty to one count
of a seven-count indictment
charging similar illegal ac-
tons.
Bohrer was charged with ar
ranging to secure a $2,428 loan
in october, 1860, for a South
east Washington couple who
wanted to have some improve
ments made on their home.
Loans backed by the Federal
Housing Administration are
approved If it is shown that
the applicant is adequately
handling his current debts.
But, according to Assistant
United States Attorney Barbara
A. Lindeman, the couple Boh-
rer approached was in debt to
four different lending firms
and was still paying on an ear
lier FILA loan.
Despite their shaky financial
condition, Miss Lindeman said.
Bohrer talked them into sign
ing FILA statements that their
only outstanding debts were
two trusts. He signed his name
to the application made to the
Union Trust Co. in the Dis
trict.
Miss Lindeman said the
fraudulently obtained loan now
must be borne by the couple.
She added that the charge
against Bohrer can bring q
jail term Of five years.
