Investors are confident there is an
unlimited horizon for this industrj
which supplies the raw material tot
atomic energy. For an up to the min
ute report, a United Press correspond
ent visited the "capital" of the uran
turn boom on the western slope of UA
Rockies.

The mail sacks have been get
ting heavier at the Atomic En
ergy Commission office here and
this can mean only one thing
more prespectors than ever be
fore are hitting the vfranium
trail this sumemr.
"We thought 1953 was a big
year," an AEC spokesman said
today. "And last year, we de
cided it couldn't be any bigger.
But now it looks like this sum
mer will top them all."
Although the snow hasn't
melted yet in the high country,
you can already tell the big pros
pecting season is near. The vol
ume of letters received by the
Grand Junction operations of
fice of the AEC was never
greater.
Thousands of prospectors, or
would-be prospectors, are writ
ing in for information about how
and where to go to look for
uranium. The AEC is happy to
oblige.
"We'll do everything but point
in a place on the map and say,
'Dig there'," one AEC official
said.
The uranium boom is a na
tionwide affair. From New York
to San Francisco investors are
sinking cash into uranium
stocks. But out here on the 170,
000 square mile Colorado plateau
where the uranium is. the boom
means sinking a pick into the
ground.
Many of the prospectors will
be vacationers from far corners
of the country. Others will be
"week end prospectors" from
towns in or near the uranium
fields. A small number will be
new "professionals." launching a
f ulltime career with pickaxe and
Geiger counter.
A few of them may become
millionaires. Most of them won't.
Every day scores of prospectors
show up at the AEC's 10-acre
compound lugging ore samples
to be tested and the majority
go away disappointed.
But the uranium boom has
created a new crop of million
aires and revitalized little vil
lages that a few years ago were
known onlyto a few Indians and
sheepherders. The plateau
which covers parts of Colorado,
New Mexico, Arizona and Utah
is alive with activity.
Private planes fly in and out
of mining towns daily carrying
wide-eyed investors and specul
ators. Many of the investors are
oil men. Something about uran
ium mining appeals to oil men.
Wall Street Names
More and more old Wall
Street names are becoming asso
ciated with uranium ventures,
but the industry seems to be
dominated by youth. The most
famous uranium millionaires,
Charlie Steen and Jack Turner,
are in their mid-thirties.

Las Vegas. Nev. (U.R) Car
men Miranda, Danny Thomas
and other big money entertain
ers here are be-
ing upstaged
by a new star
that dances, is
pretty but has
no sex appeal.

act get stiff

from this new celebrity plain,
ordinary water.
The act is called . "Dancing
Waters," five supercollossal
fountains. Nightly it stops the
show at the new Royal Nevada
hotel, that is, if you like a musi
cal shower with your steaks and
scotch.
While the orchestra plays and
the tourists oh and ah, the color
ed waters cavort to the mambo,
waltz and skip around.
Show Veteran
Dancing waters is not a new
idea. It was developed in Ger
many in 1952 and is a veteran of
New Yoork's Radio City Music
Hall and state fairs around the
country, from Shreveport to Al
buquerque. This is the first time
the waters routine has been used
in a nightclub act with stars. .
"I developed it with an elec
trician and we first showed it at
the Berlin industrial exposition,"
explained Hans Hasslach, who
brought the Dancing Waters to
this country two years ago.
Hasslach operates the gurgling
gadget and his actions are so in
teresting the audience often wat
ches him instead of the water.
The industry abounds with
youngish executives. Arnold
Kimmes of Grand Junction is un
der 35 but he heads a consult
ing firm which owns three air
planes and is chairman of the
board of an investment company
with headquarters - in Denver
and branches here and in Salt
Lake City.
"Last year the uranium in
dustry was where the oil indus
try was 60 years ago," says
Kimmes, who would pass for a
young movie hero. "This year
it s where the oil industry was
40 years ago."
Financier T"loyd B. Odium has
sunk considerable cash into
uranium ventures such as the
Hidden Splendor Mine and says
the uranium horizon "seems al
most unlimited to me."
Like others in the uranium
business Odium bases his op
timism on peaceful application
of nuclear fission atomic pow
er plants, atomic ships, planes
and trains all of which will
create a steady demand for
uranium whether atomic weap
ons stay with us or not.

Grumbling West Germans have
been told that the end of Allied
occupation does not mean the
end of chlorinated drinking
water, which they claim causes
everything from sterility to
baldness.
Minister of Interior Gerhard
Schroeder told the Bundestag
(lower house) Wednesday chlori
nating will continue because the
water isn't - fit to drink otherwise.
Celluloid inventor John Wes
ley Hyatt also invented the flex

The $250,000 piece of plumb
ing consists of pipes in various
designs installed slightly below
stage level on the back of the
Royal Nevada stage. How the
chorus girl keep from falling
into 'the pipes during their rou-1
tines is another feat.
Waters Leap
The pipes are connected by
wire to 400 buttons on a console
that looks like a pipe organ. Has
slach "plays" the buttons and
the streams of water 38 tons
worth leap into the air.
"There are 20 basic combina
tions of water designs and I can
mix them in various ways," the
German impressario added.
The current headlirier at the
hotel is opera star Helen Trau
bel, a singer of renown who is
not used to being upstaged. Yet
the dancing water is given the
choice closing spot in the show.
I asked the star how she liked
playing second fiddle to some
wiggling waves.
"Oh, they're very pretty," she
smiled. "But I have to wear a
shawl backstage because the wa
ters make it very chilly."
After the show this new wa
tery star goes down the drain.
No other Las Vegas act can make
that statement.
