Homesfake Mining

. Washington (U.R) Home
stake Mining company, has a
right to claim payment for loss
es suffered when. its gold mine
at Lead, S.D., was closed by
federal order during World War
II, the U. S. Court of Claims
ruled yesterday.
The court returned the claim
to a commissioner 'for trial, to
ctetermine the amount of dam
ages to be paid.
The gold mine was closed by
an order of the War Production
Board in October, 1942, which
curtailed operation of so-called
non-essential mines. The comp
any asked for reimbursement
by the government, arguing the
mine closing had "far reaching
and drastic" effects on the com
munity of Lead and other
towns.
Homestake was the largest
gold producer in the country
when it was ordered to close -its
non-essential mines. It said that
about 10 per cent of the state's
annual revenue was derived
from Homestake operations.

cause for concern among parents
whose children have had their
first shot, and cannot obtain the
second one on schedule.
A recent state board of health
memorandum pointed out, that,
although a period of two to six
weeks between the first and sec
ond shots is recommended, there
is no serious loss of effective
ness at any time up to six
months after the first dose. Some
parents, Dr. Merkel said, were
worried that they would have
to have the first dose given
again, but that this' is not so.
There is a permissible leeway
of up to 12 months between the
second and , third, or booster,
shot, Dr. Merkel said.
No more free vaccine will be
made available, he said, and fu
ture supplies will be released
through commercial channels.
