(U.R) Daniel Cowan Jackling, the man whose process for extracting copper from low grade ore rev olutionized the mining industry, died last night at the age of 86. Jackling had been confined to his estate sinee Christmas be cause of a circulatory ailmerrt. He was survived by his second wife, the former Virginia Jol liffe of San Francisco. His es tranged first wife died many years ago. It has been estimated that more than 60 per cent of the world's copper is now produced by methods Jackling originated and at which experts once scof fed. These methods made Jack ling a multi-millionaire. A graduate of the Missouri School of Mines, Jackling once worked as a dollar a day miner. In 1904, he persuaded a group of men to join him in forming the Utah Copper company to develop the now famous Bing ham Mountain open pit. Applying high grade ore pro duction methods to a field of only 2 per cent copper, Jack ling turned the Bingham Pit into the world's biggest copper producer. The pit is now owned by the Kennecott Copper company. It is one of the West's spectacles. Two years ago, a huge statue of Jftkling was placed . in the rotunda of the Capitol at Salt Lake City, honoring his pioneer development of that state's min ing' industry. ..More than 80 per cent of the people of England are classified as residents of the cities, towns and villages.

The bill would provide that extra charges, in addition to car hire or car-rental, would be paid by the carrier to the boxcar own ers to promote the prompt move ment and distribution of the cars. In a joint letter, Morse and Neuberger stated they felt the hearings would give the Senate Committee on Interstate and Foreign commerce an opportun ity to consider in advance ways and means of solving the box car shortage problem before the shortage becomes acute later in the year. It appears that the pattern of past box car shortages is about to be repeated with the exception that it is being experienced ear lier this year, the senators said. Individuals who desire to ap pear before the senate commit tee to give oral testimony should contact the Senate Committee on Interstate and Foreign Com merce, Washington 25, D. C. Those wishing to submit written statements for consideration should mail their statements in time to reach the committee by March 19. Five extra copies should be supplied.

GONZALES United Press Correspondent, Washington iU.ffi President Eisenhower declared today that Allied interests will be traverse ly jeopardized if war breaks out in the middle East or if the Cyprus dispute continues. The President said he has been working long hours these days, far into the night, on the Middle East crisis and all its aspects. U.N. action to ease the ten sion is one of the factors under intense study, he said. Action will be taken as quickly as de cisions are reached, he said. The President also disclosed at his news conference that he wrote Soviet Premier Nikolai Bulganin several months ago to inquire about Soviet moves in the Middle East. The letter, which was sent last October, brought the reply that Commu- Local Elections Held In Washington State By UNITED PRESS Thousands of voters took ad vantage of pleasant weather yes terday to cast ballots in Wash ington state's local general elec tions. Seattle's corking hot mayor's race took top individual billing as voters went to the polls in 28 major cities, 177 towns and in more than 500 school districts. Seattle voters elected youthful Gordon Clinton, former G-man, as their mayor, ousting incum bent Allan Pomeroy. Clinton, a lawyer, who formerly was an acting judge, an assistant prose cuting attorney and FBI man, polled 87,334 votes to 79,135 for Pomeroy. Voters at Vancouver elected councilmen Sherman Smith, Mel vin Sheviach, Kenneth E. Peter and M. J Shields. Four of the six propositions on the ballot were defeated with the other two hinging on 69 absentee ballots. A fire depart ment improvement bond issue of $105,000 lacked but one vote of passing and will be decided by the absentee vote.

Tragedy Of War Mr. Eisenhower said there has been no consideration yet of a possible resolution by Congress which would authorize Ameri can intervention in the Middle East. The President made these points on the Middle Eastern crisis: 1. There is no blinking the fact that American-Allied inter ests would be very gravely jeopardized if war breaks out in the Middle East. 2. Neither he nor Secretary of State John Foster Dulles has said the United States will re fuse to supply arms to Israel. The administration, he said, has foreclosed nothing in the crisis. But its policy has been to avoid an arms race, if possible, and to use the United Nations to keep peace. 3. The United States is ready to do anything reasonable and practicable to help Greece and Britain reach a solution of the Cyprus dispute. The United States is friendly to both coun tries despite their present argu ment over Cyprus. Cooperation of Britain and Greece is essen tial to the success of the North Atlantic Treaty organization. But the problem is very tough and complicated and a solution is up to the participants. Bulganin's Statement Disclosure of the President's October letter to Bulganin came about in an unusual way. The President at the outset of his news conference confessed he had been wrong at his last news conference in believing that Bui ganin had told him at the sum mit conference at Geneva tnat Communist moves in the Middle East were purely commercial. After last week's news con ference, the President said he went back to the White House and found the Bulganin state ment in an exchange of letters carried on just before the start of the Big Four foreign minis ters conference in Geneva in October. The President said he had written the letter but he had gotten his conferences mixed. He gave no other details of the correspondence. The President firmly empha sized that the United States' is ready to do anything to help in the British-Greek dispute over the British-held island of Cy prus. But he made it clear this country will not take sides. Offers Assistance The United States Tuesday night offered to "assist its friends" in settling the Cyprus dispute. Both Greece and Bri tain are members of the North Atlantic Treaty Alliance, which is close to Mr. Eisenhower's heart, and the United States feared the tension between them might weaken NATO. Woman Admits She Fed Family Poison Montgomery, Ala. (U.R) A 49-year-old waitress confessed last night she fed fatal doses of ant poison to three of her chil dren, two husbands and mother to collect their insurance. Police said Mrs. Ronda Belle Martin signed a statement admit ting her relatives' deaths and said she confessed poisoning her present husband, Roland Martin, who is recuperating in a Biloxi, Miss., hospital. He was her step son and is 19 years younger than his red-haired wife. Atty. William Thetford said an "investigation is still continu ing" into the deaths of two more of Mrs. Martin's daughters.

SAFEWAY STORE The State Department empha sized the United States is not taking sides in the dispute. The department said America's "sole effort has been to encourage those directly concerned to find a fair and just solution." The department said it is "confident that a solution can be found which will strengthen overall western interests." "We were greatly disappoint ed that the substantial progress made toward such a solution through private discussions be tween the British and pro Greek Cypriote did not result in final agreement," the depart ment said. Further Progress "We are convinced, however, that further progress can be made once an atmosphere con ducive to negotiations can be reestablished." Asked directly whether the United States were taking sides in the dispute, department spokesman Lincoln White said: "No." He also said the United States was only offering its good offices in the dispute and not offering to mediate it. The department issued its statement after U.S. Ambassa dor Cavendish W. Cannon at Athens expressed to Greece the "sympathetic concern of the United States government and American people" over the Cyprus Dispute.
