(U.R) The Chamber of Commerce said Sat urday the northern Galifornia lumber region faces "economic disaster" if mills are forced to shut down as a result of a strike against the Northwestern Pacific railroad. A chamber survey, among large lumber companies indicat ed that several are faced with suspension of operations within the next week or ten days if the strike continues and they are unable to move their products or find storage space pending ship ment. 14,000 Employed " Some 14,000 persons are em ployed by mills in this area. The chamber sent an appeal to Gov. Goodwin J. Knight in Sacramento asking that he inter cede to settle the three-day strike by 70 members of the Brotherhood of Locomotive En gineers (AFL). No further negotiations were scheduled. The union is demand ing four changes of operating rules governing engineers. The company, a subsidiary of Sou thern Pacific railroad, maintains the changes would amount to "feather-bedding."

U.R) Hun dreds of eager uranium seekers turned what was supposed to be an old-fashioned land-grab for mining claims into a comic out ing Friday north of this western Colorado town. The land-rush to stake claims on 38 sections of land near Ura van marked with questionable procedures by some claim stakers was the latest highlight in the red-hot uranium boom on the Colorado plateau. Surge Into Area Those that had not broken the rules and staked their claims as many as three days ahead of time on the land officially opened for claims at 10 a.m. by the Interior1 Department surged onto the Atkinson Mesa in west ern Montrose county like a swarm of machine-age locusts. Ike Returns From Hunting Trip; Sets Party for Mamie Washington (U.R) Presi dent Eisenhower returned from his brief bird-hunting vacation in Ohio Saturday in time to act as host at a surprise birthday party for his wife, Mamie. The presidential plane, the Columbine, landed at National airport at 3:30 p.m. (EST). Faces Busy Week The President, who got in a day and a half of duck and pheasant shooting on the shore of Lake Erie, faces a busy week. He will send the West German treaties to the Senate on Mon day and on the same day will consult with the National Se curity Council and his economic advisers. Getting first priority on his homecoming schedule, however,' was the party for Mrs. Eisen hower, who will be 58 today. 100 Invited Cabinet members and then wives and White House staff members and their wives were among the 100 guests invited to a reception for her at the White House, 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. (EST). Mr. Eisenhower bagged the four-bird limit by mid-morning in Saturday's duck hunting. He got two mallards, a teal, and a black in two hours and 25 min utes spent in the reed-covere.d marshes of a private' hunting preserve. He also shot two pheasants. U.S. farms suffer about $10, 000,000 loss from lightning every year. . . About 2000 twenty-acre claims were filed at the county courthouse in Montrose 70 miles to the east before the day ended. While their confederates filed claims at Montrose, hundreds of uranium seekers from Colorado, Wyoming and Texas were on hand at the 18,420 acre tract long before 10 a.m. driving stakes in the four corners of their claims. It was reported that more than 100 camped overnight at the site to be ready for the rush. Chances Slim In view of the doubtful claim staking procedures in some cases, officials of the U. S. Van adium company here explained the chances of "any of the claims" being developed into commercial uranium mines were "awfully slim." They said the exploratory drilling costs alone would - be tremendous since the uranium believed to be in this area lies 600 feet underground. ;. Observers said most of the claim stakers were grabbing the land in hopes they could sell it late to a large uranium company which could afford the heavy mining expenses of any possible discoveries. The -land, earlier removed from the public domain for min eral exploration puposes by the Atomic Energy commission, was restored to public domain ef fective at 10 a.m. Friday by ac tion of the Interior department last, July. 9. .
