Political Maliciousness Seen
The announced action of the U.S.
Department of Justice in bringing
suit against the Hanna Nickel Smelt
ing Co. of Riddle and the parent
Hanna Mining Co. of Cleveland,
Ohio, not only seems extremely pic
ayunish but totally unjust and even
politically malicious.
The suit has been brought because
of a difference of opinion concern
ing bookkeeping methods and cost
accounting. The question to be de
termined is one of technicality. But
the Hanna Mining Co. has been un
der harassment from the Democratic
administration since its former pres
ident, George Humphrey, became
Secretary of the Treasury under the
Republican administration of Presi
dent Eisenhower.
To the opinion that action against
the Hanna Co. is politically malicious
could be added the fact that it most
probably is downright dangerous to
this country's future.
Are large concerns with technical
know-how apt to perform for the gov
ernment's welfare when they are to
become subject to persecution from
political-minded demagogues?
Following the last World War the
United States government was hard
pressed for nickel. Nickel is a most
highly strategic mineral. The larg
est known domestic deposit of nickel
is to be found at Nickel Mountain
near Riddle in Southern Douglas
County.
The federal government appealed
to several of the larger mining com
panies of the United States to ex
tract the nickel from this deposit to
provide the government with a need
ed supply for its proposed stockpile.
The property underwent study and
investigation, including ground tests,
from several of the major concerns.
The deposit is of low grade.
Nickel Mountain, in prehistoric
days, was one of the extremely high
mountains arising along the then ex
isting coastline, geologists report.
Volcanic action which followed caus
ed the ocean to recede. At the same
time Nickel Mountain was subject to
erosion over an extremely long pe
riod. The nickel ore it contained
was leached by the rains of millions
of years. It deposited in oxidized
form as the great peak gradually
eroded to about a tenth of its ori
ginal height.
The nickel oxide, intermingled with
iron, bus resulted in a ferro-nickel
which, properly smelted, is approxi
mately the formula used in making
stainless steel.
The Hanna Co. previously had no
experience in mining nickel. It is,
however, one of the world's largest
producers of coal and iron. Further
more, it has in its personnel some of
the best educated and experienced
mining engineers to be found any
where. The Hanna Co. agreed to under
take a project rejected by other con
cerns which had no satisfactory
plan for producing nickel from the
low-grade ore.
The federal government offered to
loan money needed to develop the
project and to build the smelter. The
cost was to be amortized through the
delivery of nickel to the federal gov
ernment. After the government had
recovered the money advanced for
the smelter, the Hanna Co. was to
have the right to buy the plant.
The Hanna Co. didn't borrow near
ly as much money as the govern
ment was willing to loan. If one were
to take into consideration the inter
est saving between the amount of fed
eral money actually used and the
amount pledged to the project, it
would be far more than the petty
sum over which the Hanna Co. is
being dragged into court.
There was no argument or con
cern about the project until Humph
rey, one of the country's leading in
dustrialists, a man who knows some
thing about finance, resigned his
highly paid office and accepted Ei
senhower's invitation to use his tal
ents on behalf of the government.
Eisenhower was too popular with
the people to be attacked personally.
So, his political opponents began
sniping at his cabinet. One by one
they were cut down by opposition
hiitchetmen McKay, Benson and
others.
Humphrey didn't take the personal
abuse sitting down. He lashed back.
Most big concerns and federal gov
ernment fiscal experts disagree from
time to time over accounting meth
ods. The Internal Revenue Service
or the U.S. Treasury is constantly
arguing with some corporation con
cerning taxes, bookkeeping, account
ing methods, etc. Frequently the
courts must settle the dispute.
But Hanna's case has been drag-'
ged before the Congress with the im
plication that there has been a
great scandal. Now, while the court
case is a simple dispute concerning
technical methods, political propa
gandists apparently are seeking to
advance the idea of impropriety,
seemingly because those concerned
were prominent Republicans.
The Hanna Co. found a French
process by which nickel could be re
covered from low-grade ore. Modifi
cations in the process made the Rid
dle smelter efficient. Hanna fulfilled
its contract with the government a
year ahead of time. It bought the
property as the agreement specified.
But it made the great mistake of op
erating at a profit. A profit seems to
be a sin in the eyes of the administration.

Will Pay Admission Fee
In many parts of Europe hunting and fishing are
for the rich only. Poaching is a most serious crime.
In earlier years property owners set packs of dogs
upon poachers to tear them to bits. One of the factors
causing a breakdown in the feudal system in some
areas resulted from restrictions upon public recrea
tion and land use.
In the United States the love for freedom resulted
in a philosophy different from that of Europe. Instead
of fish and game being considered a part and parcel
of the land, the wildlife belonged to all the people.
A person may close his land to access, but he doesn't
own the fish and game.
Our vast public domain heretofore has been kept
free to entry by recreationists. But it would seem that
the days of free entry are numbered. Soon, it may
be expected, it will cost us money to cross the bound
aries of our national forests.

for the recreational use of our
public domain. Persons who
.would use the facilities of a na
tional forest frequently could
buy a permit, a sticker to ap

would be good for the season.
An annual fee of $7 is under
discussion. Or, for those who
would enter the public domain
infrequently, there would be a
daily charge possibly $1.
Already this proposed viola
tion of the concept of free entry
to public land and to hunting
and angling for game and fish
is producing much co.'.iplaint.

Legislation Remarkable
This is interesting enough,
but the pattern of African na
tionalism in its purest form was
set on Oct, 12, when Kenyat
ta's government pushed through
a remarkable piece of legisla
tion. It is called "a regulation
for the preservation of public
security."
Under the new regulation,
people who make statements
"likely to cause alarm or ap
prehension" are liable to be
jailed up to a year or fined up
to $500. The regulation states
that it is "an "offense to dis-
iseminale by word of mouth or

i menus, any statement, infornia
Ition, report or opinion calculat

posal got exactly nowhere
Now there is a plan to raise
some S150 million for the Con-!
scrvation Fund, chiefly through
admission and use fees.
Coupled with the outcry from
huntjrs and anglers, there has
been much objection from ship
pers, particularly barge opera
tors using inland waterways.
Oregon's Congressman Bob
Duncan quieted some of,, the
remonstrance with a proposed
amendment that would permit
admission charges only where
the federal government had ac
tually provided recreational fa
cility or services. He also would
prohibit charges for commer-"
cial use of reservoirs, canals or
waterways.
Government Wakens
It would appear that the fed
eral government, which has
been extremely backward in de
veloping the recreational poten
tial on the public domain, at
last is awakening to the public
need. But, in attempting to
make charges for use of recre
ational facilities on public lands
it is running into the centuries
old conflict in the matter of rec
reational privilege.
The question still remains,
however. How can the federal
government spend the millions
of dollars needed to provide
recreational facility unless it
has income for that purpose?
For myself, I would not mind
paying a reasonable fee. Huw
ever, I would insist on one pro
vision. Every dollar raised
through admission charges
should be returned in the form
of facility improvement.
Through sales of timber, land
use and other sources the fed
eral government today takes
into its treasury around $5 for
every SI it pays back into
management and improvement
of its national forests. When we
have a crying need for more ac
cess roads, piahtings, thinning,
watershed protection, wildlife
management and many other
activities, I don't blame our tim
ber operators for being unhappy
with so much of their money go
ing into the general fundnd
so little back into forest man
agement. I will have a most serious
objection if the federal govern
ment tries to.use this same pat
tern with ices paid for ent;-y
into the public domain.
