Moslem Mob Burns Two While Women Oran, Algeria-(UPI)-A Most lem mob today burned to death two European women in their automobile, killed a Moslem auxiliary policeman and injured three other Euro peans including a child. A police patrol which rush ed to the scene of the terror outbreak in the "new city" Moslem quarter of Oran dragged the driver of the women's car alive, from the flames. But later he was re ported in grave condition. Police said the mob delib erately prevented the occu pants from leaving the car after they overturned it and set it afire. The mob, about 200 strong, apparently was enraged by the appearance of the Euro pean car on the fringe of a crowd demonstrating in favor of the Algerian Rebel Nation al Liberation front.

But they're not very re liable forecasters. They made the same prediction at the end of 1959. And it's doubtful whether they even believe the prediction themselves. Eastern predictions aside, everyone from Mayor Willy Brandt on down believes the East - West dispute over the city probably will come to a head in 1961. It's anyone's guess just what the Communists will do, but it's a good bet that the city faces interference of some sort with its vulnerable trans port links to the West. Just how far the Commu nists will go is a secret prob ably known only to their lead ers. Most Western officials rule out the possibility of a full-scale blockade. The degree of trouble prob ably depends on just how bad ly Soviet Premier Nikila Khrushchev wants a summit meeting and what happens at the meeting.

It remained free and the Al lied troops still were in the city despite Khrushchev's de mand they get out. Khrushchev made the de mand in 1959, in notes pro posing that West Berlin be made a so-called free, de militarized city. ' Khrushchev came no closer to that goal in 1960 than he did in 1959, despite a few Communist harassing actions against Berlin traUic. And city officials think Khrushchev will find John F. Kennedy an even tougher man to deal with on Berlin than former President Eisenhower was. They were heartened by a Kennedy pledge to fight for West Berlin just as he would fight for the freedom of New York or Paris. Showed Power The East Germans showed the power they have over the city's routes from the West last September by banning ground travel by West Ger mans coming to the city for a refugee rally. They also violated other Four -Power agreements by barring West Germans from entering East Berlin without special passes.

But the Soviet Union did not echo the frequent East German statements that all Four-Power agreements on the city were dead. ' They did say, however, that the Western Allies will lose all their rights in the city once a German peace treaty is signed. The Soviets have warned they will sign a separate peace treaty with East Germany if the German problem is not solved at a summit meeting held early in 1961. They might do it - 1961 holds the answer.

T - l SUOPPIHG CENTER TUESDAY. FEBRUARY 28, 1981 Ocean Depths Found To Be Strewn With Valuable Minerals New York - (Scientific American Feature) - Studies made during the recent Inter national Geophysical Year dis closed that the depths of the ocean are strewn with manga nese, copper, cobalt and nickel in amounts that could meet man's need for a million years at the present rate of con sumption. Moreover, according to John L. Mero, staff member of the Institute of Marine Resources at the University of Califor nia, these untapped riches ap pear to be economically re coverable. Serious Consideration "To meet the world's grow ing demand for metals in an era when even low-grade de posits of ore are becoming ever more difficult to find," Dr. Mero stales, "it would seem desirable to give serious consideration to the one source that remains virtually unexplored and untapped. It is the sea. Sea water itself nas some promise; some 60 elements have been identified in it. By conservative esti mate, the water in all the oceans holds 15 billions tons of copper, 7 trillion tons of manganese, 20 billion tons of uranium, half a billion tons of silver and 10 million tons of gold. Still, sea water must be considered a lean 'ore,' ex cept for a few materials. But the basins of the oceans are lined by these same elements in tlie form of conventional ores that, in my opinion, could be profitably mined by apply ing techniques that are avail able today. These ores arc simply lying on the ocean floor waiting to be dredged up. 'From an economic stand point the most promising ore is manganese dioxide. In deep sea sediments it takes such forms as grains, slabs, coat ings on rocks and impregna tions of porous materials. Most important, it also occurs in a strange product of sea-water chemistry: the so-called man ganese nodules, which incor porate not only manganese but also iron, nickel, cobalt, copper and other metals. Gen erally, these lumps range in size from one . to nine inches in diameter. The largest ever recovered measured about 4 feet long and 3 feet In diam eter; it weighed 1,700 pounds. World-wide surveys show that the deposits cover tens of mil lions of square miles with con centrations running to 3.7 pounds of nodules per square foot of ocean floor. "In addition to metals oceanographcrs have also dis covered economically interest- News About Servicemen ABOARD CARRIER Dclore P. Sullivan, store keeper third class, USN, son of L. B.

This material is an important source of ferti lizer. Phosphate rock sells for as much as $15.00 per ton, half of the price representing freight charges. It has been calculated that $3.5 million would pay for the design and construction of a system to mine 400,000 tons of sea-floor phosphorite a year. The mining cost would be about $4.50 a ton and transportation about $1.50 a ton. At a selling price of $13.50 per ton in California, the exploitation of deposits lying off the coast of that state should result in an annual return to investors of fifty-two per cent after taxes. "As for nodule mining, cal culations, based upon tech niques now used to separate copper, nickel, and cobalt from lean ores, indicate that it will cost about $25.00 per ton to process manganese no dules into marketable ma terials. Adding $5.00 for mining and $10.00 for market ing, transportation and over head, the profit would still be about $20.00 per ten of nod ules from the southeastern Pa cific, an area in which particu larly rich deposits are found. On paper this would allow an annual return of thirty per cent before taxes, on a capital investment of $100 millions in a mining rig (a hydraulic dredge) and processing plant able to handle 5,000 tons of nodules a day. Such calcula tions do not, however, excite any great enthusiasm among . mining men. From the busi ness point of view there are still too many unknowns in deep-sea mining."
