Bureau of Mines
9 Will 'Intensify'
Metals Research
Washington (U.R5 The Bu
reau of Mines during the current
fiscal, year will "intensify" its
jjalion-wide research in metals
andnojvmetals" essential to de
fense and industrial progress,
according to Interior Secretary
. Pred A. Sea ton. T
The bureau will use the more
than $22,080,000 provided by
Jfbngress for fiscal 1957 to con
duet field s'tudies and maintain
experiment stations "and labora
Jories fh 27 states'and Alaska.
The stepped-up- program will
be directed toward developing
9 engineering principles that will
promote safer as well as more
efficient mining practices, bu
reau officials, said. Working
closely with private Industry,
researchers will" look into every
. ( phase of mining.
, Methods and costs of both
Underground and surface mining
Of all non-fuel minerals, rock
mechanics, drilling and blasting
9 techniques, ore-sampling theo
jies and practices, and area,s of
irfajor mineral resources will be
studied.
The minerals research pro
gram will be toncerned with
"more than 70 items, chief among
which are the ferrous (iron
based) metals : and alloys; the
.'light metals upon which the na
" turn's aircraft- industry feeds,
titanium, -aluminum and mag
nesium; and copper, lead and
zinc. '
Researchers also will give
their attention tq the four so-
called "wonder metals of the
future" columbium, tantalum,
t beryllium and selenium, officials
. said.
The national highway pro
gram now getting under way
and the continued high level of
housfng construction are ex
pected to make a heavy demand
on the mineral aggregates indus
try in the years ahead. Accord
ingly, the bureau will "broaden
its. research" in the mining of
such materiel as sand, gravel
and stone, officials reported.
Studies wil be made of helium
and nitrogen, and production of
these gases extracts from nat
ural gas will-be stepped up at
the bureau's plants in Exell and

No Trace Found of Gold
Taken in Daring Swiss Job
Geneva (U.R) Eight months
ago three men pulled off one
of the biggest coups in Swiss
history, getting away with 250
kilograms of gold bars in day
light. Patient probing has identified
the trio, but there has been as
yet no trace of the gold, Police
Chief Charles Knecht said. He
attributed delay in arresting the
thieves to the hope of locating
the loot.
"That's because of the insur
ance companies," he explained.
"The police want the men, but
the insurance people want the
gold." i
The companies have paid off
on the loss, which was valued
at 1,200,000 Swiss francs (about
$280,000). It was consigned to
several Swiss banks by shippers
in Paris and came aboard an
Air France plane.
The insurance companies also
have" offered a reward of 100,
000 francs (about $23,000) for
information leading to the re
covery of all or part of the gold.
They have had no takers as yet.
Guard Demanded
In addition, they have en
forced precautions hitherto un
known in honest Switzerland,
where almost daily gold ship
ments used to move in and out
with no more fuss than crates
of vegetables.
One shipping - firm manager
told United Press that he can't
get insurance on gold now un
less he guarantees to have at
least two armed men on hand
at every stage.
Just to make sure, we always
make it three," he added.
The big haul was possible be
cause the load of 10 small boxes,
each containing 25 one-kilogram
ingots a relatively minor ship
ment here was left unguarded
for a few minutes in 3 p.m. rush
hour traffic on the main station
square Jan. 19.
One of the three thieves, who
had spent a week surveying the
activities of the Ritschard trans
port firm from a nearby eafe
and at the airport, simply
stepped into the little blue pick- j
up truck as soon as the driver
entered the nearby doorway and ,
drove off.
The coup was so cleanly and
quietly executed that it was
weeks before police even located
an eyewitness one man who
had happened to glance out ol
an office window as the truck
was driven off but did not real
ize for days what he had seen.
Escaped to Franco
There was a slight delay In
getting police on the scene, as
the bewildered driver lost sev
eral minutes looking for his van- ;
ished truck before reporting the j
loss. By the time they got to
work and alerted all the numer
ous customs posts in the long
frontier curve around Geneva,
the gold was already across the
border into France, police be
lieve. An hour or so later the Rits
chard truck was located, aban
doned and empty in a little-used
side road about three kilometers
from the French frontier. An-j
other car that had been follow
ing it had disappeared, obviously
with the gold aboard.
Six weeks later police had a
fairly clear picture of the three
men directly involved from
restaurant employees who had
seen them lunching and dining
at selected tables overlooking
the gold-transfer activities at the
busy Geneva station square and
at the Cointrin Airport restau
rant. Some time later both Swiss
and French police became con
vinced that they knew who the
three were, but they aren't
ready to reveal the names yet.
Most of the investigative ac
tivity is now centered in France,
which was both the origin and
destination of tie stolen gold.
But trails have been followed
in a dozen other countries. The
international police have been
called in every time gold turned
up in a smuggler's hands and
local police have traced every
possible connection with other

TV Banking Answer
To Parking Problem
Los Angeles (U.R) Banking
by television?
Don't raise your eyebrows. It
can be done.
John Mosler, executive vice
president of the 108-year-old
Mosler Safe Company of Hamil
ton, Ohio, has created remote
TV drive-in banking, as an im
portant answer to the parking
problem.
A customer in a car drives
up to a small curbside unit 500
feet or even several miles from
his branch. Through the use of
a two-way closed-circuit TV he
and the bank teller are per
mitted to talk to each other. The
customer makes his deposit in
a pneumatic tube that goes un
derground into the bank.
This "TV Snorkel," as it is
known, looks like a king-sized
TV set. It is 34 inches wide. It
contains a TV camera, a 17-inch
monitor and is protected from
vandals by being placed behind
bulletproof glass. There are no
protruding objects to mar its
smooth surfaces.
The teller controls the entire
operation. When the customer
places his deposit in the pneu
matic c a t r i e r it is sucked
through the tube to the teller
at 31 feet per second.
Mosler predicted that even
tually the public will be able
to conduct all its banking at the
nearest corner, swiftly and in
person through the use of his
"TV Snorkel."
He pointed out that banks
will be able to reach even to
out-of-the-way places with TV
banking without the heavy ex
pense of opening a branch.

South Dakota Electric
Chair of Little Use
Sioux Falls, S. D. (U.R)
Only one person has died in
South Dakota's electric chair
since 1939, the year capital pun
ishment was put back on the
state's law books.
The lone victim was George
Sidney Sitts, who had killed a
special state agent.
Capital punishment from 1877
to 1915 was done by hanging.
The first person to be hanged
was Jack (Crooked Nose) Mc
Call, who shot Wild Bill Hickok
in the back of the head in 1876.
The death penalty was repeal
ed in 1915.
Greeks Had Word
For Peace of Mind
Many Years Ago
Chicago (U.R) Thousands
of years ago the Greeks had a
word for what many Americans
are striving today. They called
it "ataraktos," which in our
lingo means "peace of mind" or
"detached serenity."
Mpmhpn of the American
Medical association who attend
ed the annual convention here
in June had a taste of this 20th
rontiirv raritv when they visit
ed "Ataraxia." Derived from the
Greek, this was the name given
to a specially designed room,
the components of which were
expertly coordinated to help the
15,000 doctors escape the hustle
and bustle of their business and
rest in "detached serenity."
The room, located at Chica
go's Navy Pier where the con
vention was held, was designed
uiith the theorv that color, art,
furniture, lighting and a sooth
ing musical background an
make for peace of mind.
The physicians and other visi
tors who entered the room also
were greeted with the latest in
air-conditioned and sound-proofed
luxury. Receptionists greeted
thom at the doorway to "Atar
axia" and offered male guests
cigars and the women cigarettes.
They were then escorted to re
clining chairs where they view
ed paintings by contemporary
Chicago artists and listened to
music emanating from the latest
hi-fidelity equipment. Select
decorating committees pooled
their knowledge to create restful
color scheme, and furnishings
representing imports from all
over the world were every
where. Most of the medical conven
tioneers commented that the ef
forts of "Ataraxia" had been
quite successful.
Loose Black Spider
Blamed for Accident
Sioux Falls, S.D. (U.R)
Robert C. Portice, Sioux Falls,
was fined for reckless driving al
though he contended a black
widow spider which got lost in
his car caused the accident. -
Portice said he had found the
spider at his place of employ
ment and was taking it to a scien
tist when he noticed it was miss
ing from a bottle. His car ran
into a parked car.
Judge Walter Conway fined
Portice $100 but suspended $85
when Portice agreed to pay the
damages to the car.

Premature
Could Bring Down
London U.R) Conserva
tive members of Parliament said
today a "premature" withdrawal
of British troops from Port Said
could spark a rebellion in Parlia
ment which could bring down
Sir Anthony Eden's government.
A member of the "Suez Rebel"
group told the United Press that
"about 50" Conservative mem
bers had made known their in
tentions, in writing, to refuse
party directives to support Eden
in any parliamentary vote on the
issue. .
He said the reports of the Brit
ish decision to withdraw one
battalion from Port Said already
had roused the "rebels" to ac
tion and had increased their
numerical strength.
Eden Discusses Situation
"The reports that there are
only 35 Conservative members
opposed to the British withdraw
al is an underestimate," the
source said. "There are at least
50 members who have written
in saying they will refuse the
whips if there is a premature
withdrawal from the canal
zone."
Eden, on the eve of his de
parture for a three weeks holi
day in Jamaica, was reported
discussing the explosive political
situation with his senior min
isters. The government whips were
said to be already in action in
an effort to avoid a major revolt
in the Conservative ranks.
Deputy Premier R. A. Butler
and Chancellor of the Exchequer
Harold MacMillan are scheduled
to address the "1922 committee"
a Conservative back benchers
organization, tonight.

Troop Withdrawal
The Conservative source said
this was one of many private
meetings aimed at talking the
"rebels" out of their opposition
to the government.
Critical Day
"Today is the most critical day
the government has faced since
it has held office," the source
said. "Either the cabinet or the
rebels must surrender within the
next 24 hours if a crisis is to be
averted."
The Conservative Daily Ex
press, one of the government's
staunchest supporters, took note
of the growing rebellion and pre
dicted that it could "bring the
government down."
At least 35 of Eden's support
ers told the government they
would withhold their support if
the United Nations demands are
accepted. Some estimates put the
number of rebels as high as 50.
The ultimatum came as For
eign Minister Selwynn Lloyd
told the U.N. General Assembly
Britain would withdraw one bat
talion of troops from Port Said
as evidence of good faith.
Eden's residence already an
nounced he would leave Friday
for Jamaica for an "essential"
vacation because of the severe
strain under which he has been
recently. He and Lady Eden ex
pect torspend about three weeks
there.
The subject of troop with
drawal was the main topic at
today's caBinet meeting presided
over ,by Butler, leader in the
House of Commons.
Phased Withdrawal
The cabinet was expected to
agree to a "phased withdrawal"
of British and French troops,
but the "Suez Rebels" who have
long demanded a firm policy
against Egypt, served notice this
would not satisfy them.
