Daniel Jackling
Dies in California
Woodside, Calif. (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

ation which was recently intro
duced into the senate.
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.
Boy Dies After He

Bandon (U.R) Lowell Syl
vester Johnson, 12-year-old

collapsed on the school ground
here while taking part in a phys
ical education class.
The lad was racing with an
other boy when he fell near the
finish of the race. School offic
ials said that he did not put up

death.
An autopsy was scheduled.

Ike Says Middle East War Wil
Jeopardize Allied Interests
By DONALD J. 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.
A street improvement bond is
sue of $294,000 passed narrow
ly in the unofficial vote counting
but could also be changed when
the absentee ballots are counted.
At Olympia, the state's best
known .lady mayor, Amanda
Benek Smith, was retained in
office.
Youth Camp Program

ican Camping association, will be

ciation. The dinner meeting will start

nist operations, such as arms
shipments to the Arabs, were on
a purely commercial basis.
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.

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.
