In the Day's Hews
By FRANK JENKINS
Up at Fort William, in Can
ada's province of Ontario,
Queen Elizabeth was drenched
in a sudden downpour that
struck just before she reached
the Royal Edward hotel for
a civic luncheon.
She crouched under an um
brella in the open rear seat
of her car, but her white hat
and her yellow wool coat
were soaked before she
reached the hotel door.
rpHE rain falleth alike on the
just and the unjust. A
queen is hot stuff, but no
body ever told the weather
man.
After all, there's a pretty
good lesson in that.
Tf ORE royal misfortune:
Princess Margaret and
her lady-in-waiting appeared
in practically IDENTICAL
costumes at the opening of an
exhibition of new fabric de
signs at a London fashion
house.
"What a faux pas," said
the lady-in-waiting. "We al
ways guard against this sort
of thing SO CAREFULLY., I
think this is really the first
time we've ever slipped up."
(She could have said "goofed,"
but being a lady-in-waiting
she refrained.)
Margaret was equal to the
occasion. She said lightly:
'This combination is a great
favorite - with myself and
my lady-in-waiting. We both
love it."
AHHHHHH. Courtesy and
thoughtfulness. What Won
derful assets they are.
King Edward III, who
reigned some 600 years' ago,
was dancing at a court ball
with the Countess of Salis
bury when she lost her garter.
As the king picked it up to
hand it to her, he saw several
persons smile and indulge in
remarks. '
It angered him, and he said
to the assembled company in
French: "Honi soit qui mal
y panse" (shame to him who
evil thinks.) Then he added:
1 will make this little blue
garter so glorious that every
one will wish to wear it."
Out of that came the Order
of the Garter - one of Bri
tain's most distinguished dec
orations. "- .

Hew Breed of Men Needed
To Replace Old Prospectors
WHO was this Edward III?
. You'll know him better
from the Battle of Crecy at
which the English archer dem
onstrated his mastery over the
steel-clad knight on horse
back that he ruled the world
for so many centuries.
Edward III and his son, the
Black Prince, commanded the
English archers at Crecy.
By Congressional Quarterly
Washington - Uncle Sam
needs a new breed of men
prospecting for gold back in
"them thar hills," according
to Rep. Al Ullman (D-Ore.),
whose state is celebrating the
centennial of its birth.
Rep. Walter S. Baring (D
Nev.) agrees. His state is cele
brating the 100th anniversary
of the Comstock Lode, the all
time great silver strike.
The old-time prospector is
dead as a dodo in this coun
try, Ullman told a House Min
ing Subcommittee recently,
.because the U. S. metals mar
ket has been taken over by
foreign importers. "We no
longer have prospectors in
the hills, because we provide
no incentive for them. We
must provide some incentive"
to mining men if the nation
is to have any metals mining
industry left, Ullman said.
No Major Legislation
Periodically Congress takes
a look at the sick domestic
mining industry. But for a
decade it has failed to ap
prove any major mining legis
lation. Meanwhile, domestic
mining is contracting at an ac
celerated rate. U. S. miners
were 1,120,000 strong in 191
There are only 686,000 today;
And today half of the minerals
workers aren't miners at all.
They are workers in the na
tion's oil and gas fields. Pe
troleum is the only extractive
industry which has created
new jobs in recent years.
This year, having met de
feat on legislation so often,
mining - state Congressmen
are attacking the problem
from a new angle. They are
trying to get Congress to
spell out a national . long-
range minerals policy. Once
committed to such a policy,
they reason, Congress is more
likely to support programs to
implement it.
So the mining Subcommit
tee of the House Interior Com
mittee held hearings June 25
to July 2 on resolutions by
Committee Chairman Wayne
N. Aspinall (D-Colo.) and
eight other Congressmen pro
viding for such a "policy.
Imports Blamed ' ' ' "
The Subcommittee Chair
man, Adam C. Powell (D-N.Y),
also is sponsoring a resolu
tion.' Powell explained, "The
closest I had been to mine is
the New York City subways"
before taking over the Sub
committee Chairmanship . in
January. "It has been a great j
education to me," he said. "I
have found that the domestic
mining industry is being
strangled by foreign imports."
The resolutions state that
"it i3 in the national interest"
for the United States not to
become critically dependent
on foreign sources of supply
or on a national minerals
stockpile, and that it is "the
sense of Congress" . that the
federal government should
foster and encourage the
maintenance of a sound do
mestic mining industry, the
orderly discovery and devel
opment of domestic reserves,
and to promote mining re
search. It requests the Presi
dent to review existing fed
eral programs to promote do
mestic mining production and
to recommend legislation nec
essary to carry out the ob
jectives outlined in the reso
lution. Similar resolutions have
been introduced in the' Senate
by Chairman James E. Mur
ray (D-Mont.) of the Senate
Interior Committee, and by
Sen. Gordon Allott (R-Colo.).
Allott spelled out a national
minerals policy approach' to
the American Mining Con
gress on Sept. 23, 1958.
Seaton in Favor
. Secretary of Interior Fred
A. Seaton is "wholeheartedly"
THAT ought to be enough
about royalty for one day.
But it's worth remembering
that even kings and queens
and princes and princesses
are PEOPLE.'
Sun Probe Due
By Nike-Asp
Point Arguello,. Calif. - (UPD
-A two-stage Nike-Asp solid
propellant rocket packing a
50-pound payload is scheduled
to be fired tonight by Navy
scientists studying the nature
of explosions on the sun.
The rocket, Sun Flare ll, is
designed to streak about 150
miles into the heavens in an
eight-minute trip to gather
readings of cosmic radiation
during a normal period when
there is relatively little, solar
flare activity. Another shot
will be made 'during one of
the large solar explosions so
scientists can learn the
amount of radiation increase.
Cosmic and X-rays spewed
from the sun during solar
flares, sometimes called sun
spots, disrupt radio communi
cations on earth.
Firm Buys Theaters
At Cottage Grove
Cottage Grove - (UPD -Jones
Enterprises, Incorporated, a
firm that owns a chain of
movie theaters in Oregon, has
purchased the Arcade theater
and Argo drive-in here.
Stanley Daugherty, who
owned the two movie houses
and another here, the Diane,
made the. announcement.
The Jones firm also owns
theaters in Eugene, Coos Bay,
La Grande, Bend and other
cities.
in favor of such an approach,
after trying unsuccessfully to
"sell" two major mineral pro
posals to Congress during the
past two years. Seaton told a
recent press conference: "If
Congress will spell out what
the goal is supposed to be,
then, perhaps, we can get a
program that Congress will
pass. There really isn't much
point in my sending another
program up this year unless I
just want to crown futility."
But the industry wonders
whether it can wait for Con
gress to make up its collective
mind on a long-range minerals
policy. So legislation is being
pushed in this Congress, as
before, to try to remedy prob
lems in various segments of
the industry. Already two
measures pertaining to coal
and fluorspar have receive'd
some action. And, as is usual
with mining legislation, they
are in -trouble. -
That is the big problem with
metals legislation, Aspinall
told Congressional Quarterly.
"Every place we turn we are
blocked, whether we seek to
impose quotas, subsidies or
tariffs to aid our domestic
mining industry. It is a very
discouraging picture," he
said.
