Meyers 488 1347 Western Uranium Rush Described; Local Work Told The uranium rush under way today in the west was likened to the gold rush of 1849 and '51 by F. I. Bristol, owner of the Bristol Silica company, in an address here Tuesday noon at the Jackson hotel. Speaking before the Medford Rotary club, Bristol said that the highly stra tegic ore could be discovered from a car or jeep equipped with a super scintillator, which indicates the presence of radio active ore. Reconnaisance from a trans port type plane at 5,000 feet is practical and is utilized by the Atomic Energy Commission in surveying the western area, the speaker said. Government as sistance in uranium exploration to boster the current stock-piling program includes cash payments for ore and attractive bonus fea tures. This program will con tinue until 1962 and has made the U. S. a three times greater producer than any other nation. Methods Told Methods of identifying uran ium ore were discribed by Bris tol, and included in the equip ment he showed were a scintil lator, geiger counter and min eral light meter. Since most uranium deposits have been found on national forest lands and Bureau of Land Manage ment areas, the problem of ac quiring mining rights are sim pified. Exploration is underway at the Al Serena Mine area and there is likelihood that deposits exist in other areas of Jackson county since most western lands have radio-active spots, Bristol said. Fabulous profits have al ready been realized from rich uranium "finds" in the west, he pointed out. D. Ford McCormick, Medford mining engineer and Rotary pro gram chairman, introduced the speaker. not Spots 2 Hi Voltage B. Schroeder 484 F. Brewer F. Benesh 406 H. Dugan C. Thompson 489 E.

SONOTONE Dies Committee Appointment Unlikely Washington U.R) Rep. Mar tin Dies is trying to regain his old seat on the House Un-American Activities committee but the odds are all against him. Democratic leaders seemed determined to pass over the fiery Texas Democrat in filling the lone party vacancy on the nine-man investigating group. Dies headed the committee for seven stormy years before he decided not to run for election in 1945 because of his health. His Communist hunting kept him and the committee on the front pages before and during World War II. ' He put in his bid for his old seat when he returned as a Texas member-at-large two years ago, but he was balked then by the absence of any Democratic vacancy. Rep. Francis E. Walter (D. Pa.) the incoming chairman, told newsmen he doubts if Dies will have any more success at this time. A NictioVs Worth of . Comment On This and That By HARMAN W.
