Scene of 'Good'
Uranium Ore Strike
Santa Margarita, Calif, U.R)
Four men reported Saturday
they had made a "good" urani
um ore strike about 18 miles
east of here, the first uranium
find in a California coastal area
Ray Wakefield, a used car
dealer of Santa Maria, Calif.,
aid an Atomic Energy commis
sion official in Bakersfield,
Calif, said ore taken from 19
claims staked out by him and
three others is of "good" qual
ity. '
Keep Work Secret ,
"We have been working on
this since July," Wakefield said.
"We've kept it secret until now.
Already there's a lot of prospec-
tors staking out claims in the
t area, but so far ore has been
taken out only by us."
Others In the strike with
Wakefield are his son, Robert,
30, and Bruce McGray, both of
Santa Maria, and Robert E. Mc
Donald, of Arroyo Grande, Calif.
The uranium strike is 30 miles
inland from the Pacific ocean
near Pozo in the old Queen Bee
mining area, the elder Wakefield
said. Pozo is about 200 miles
north of Los Angeles.
Has Other Claims
Wakefield said he had staked
out four claims in the recent ur
anium rush along the Kern river
near - Bakersfield but the ore
found was "not too good."
'The new claim iooks ime,
though," he said. "The AEC ore
analyst at Bakersfield, William
Jones, has been real encouraging
about them."
The AEC district office in Salt
Lake City, however, were un
able to confirm Wakefield's
strike. It said it had not received
any samples of his ore.

of all wood products except lum
ber more than 50 per cent with
in the next 20 years, results of
a survey showed Saturday,
A. Kenneth Beggs, a Stanford
Research Institute expert, told
foresters and conservationists
Friday that producers of pack
ing forms, wood pulp and furni
ture could expect a 'rosy fu
ture." .
Lag Expected
But increasing production
costs will create a lag in the
lumber industry by 1957, he said.
Beggs, addressing the final
meeting of the 45th conference
of the Western Forestry and Con
servation Association, said a sur
vey by his group for the Weyer
haeuser Timber Company, Tar
coma, Wash., indicated only a
seven per cent increase in the
demand for lumber over the next
20 years.
He said this was despite, an
estimated 1,945,000 new struct
ures in 1975 alone, most of which
will use competing building ma
terials. . . " ;
Allied Product Demand
Beggs said, however, there
will be a considerable demand
for allied products, and listed
an estimated 85 per cent increase

Butler Well Ahead of
Other Democrats in
Criticizing President
Chicago (U.R) National
Chairman Paul Butler was well
ahead of Democratic 1 congres
sional leaders Saturday; in pub
licly criticizing President Eisenhower.
How far congressional leaders
go in following or departing
from Butler's line will depend
on the party positions develop
ed on various parts of the Eis
enhower administration program
next year.
Mora Selective-
Democrats in Congress prob
ably will be more selective and
cautious than Butler in critic
izing the . President. But there
may be an increasing tendency
to identify Mr. Eisennower per
sonally with those parts of the
administration program coming
under Democratic fire.

During the first half of his
term, Mr. Eisenhower has not
been raked by the Democrats
because, at least in part, . they
judge his popularity with the
country has been running high.
Butler held his first Washing
ton conference Fxidaysmce- his
election at New , Orleans . last
week to the chairmanship of the
Democratic National committee.
Defends Remarks "
He opened it with a prepared
statement defending and ex
plaining his remark last week
that Mr. Eisenhower lacked ab
ility to lead anq unite the country-
;,;'. J lfc .
Butler said had made no
personal attacls on . Mr. . Eisen
hower and that he would never
"vilify" the President as Sen.
Joseph R. : McCarthy, (R-Wis.),
did this week. He added, how
ever, that there is a difference
between personal attacks and
challenges to Mr. Eisenhower's
conduct of national affairs.
" . . All the roars of Chair
man Hall (Leonard Hall, chair
man of the GOP National Com
mittee) and other Republicans
will not deter me from calling
attention to the failures" of the
President,". Butler said.
Hall responded to Butler's
statement by. saying:
"Having never heard of Mr.
Butler until recently, I am not
acquainted with his qualifica
tions for passing judgment on
great men ... The American
people won't think much of his
judgment in these attacks on the
President."
