6 B THURSDAY. JULY 11. 1963 MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD. OREGON Lignite-Based Fertilizer Developed in North Dakota . Fargo, N. D. - (UPt -A team of scientists here has report ed the development of a lignite-based fertilizer which they said was equal to any commercial product now on the market. Prof. Donald Schwartz, head of the team of chemists at North Dakota State uni versity, said the new process will utilize millions of tons of lignite (coal) scattered about the state and provide an economic as well as agri cultural boost to North Da kota. The proocess was develop ed over a three-year span at the school. "The process makes lignite one of the cheapest sources of fertilizer in the country. And much less work is in , volved than with other meth ods," Schwartz said. With funds from the Bar old division of the National Lead corp., Houston, Tex., and the National Science foundation, Schwartz and his team began their research. Earlier Experiment Baroid had already experi mented with lignite, pro- i ducing a drilling "mud," dark liquid that increases . flow while oil is drilled and prevents breakage of valuable drill bits. Nitrogen deficient soil was taken from Richland county and placed in flower pots. In it was planted Sudan grass, because this particular leg ume grows at a very rapid rate. ine grass and soil were treated with the best-accepted commercial fertilizer for non- grain crops, urea formalde hyde, ordinary lignite, the chemically treated lignite, and no additive at all. Crowth results after three years showed that boosted lig nite fertilizer equalled the urea -formaldehyde solution and sometimes surpassed it. Schwartz said the process, which is being paten'.cd, in creased the nitrogen content in the lignite about 14 times and made it available for re lease to the soil. Schwartz said, "chemically treated lignite can be used in large doses without burning the crops. "Ordinary fertilizer must be used slowly - several times a year - to prevent burning. Our way, nUrogen Is released slowly and has a long-period effect." URGES PAY RAISES Washington - MPD - Defense Secretary Robert S. McNam ara appealed Wednesday to the Senate .to restore pay raises for junior military offi cers to induce more of them to stay in the service. SI Billion Cut in Military Spending For Year Revealed Washington - IUPD - Defense Secretary Robert S. McNa mara reported to President Kennedy today that SI billion was chopped from military spending for supplies and maintenance during the year ended July 1. Raising his sights, McNa mara said he expected econo mics totaling $4 billion annu ally In purchases of military supplies and spare parts and in operating costs within the next five years. The actual and prospective savings were one-third greater than the Pentagon chief esti mated .would be possible at the start of a cost reduction program In 1962. But they only partly offset increased combat outlays which have pushed the defense budget up from $45 to $51 billion a year since McNamara took office. McNamara, In a long mem orandum addressed to the President, said $700 million was saved in purchases alone during the last 12 months. Largest Earing "The largest part of this re duction occurred in spare parts for aircraft and mis siles," he said. "The Air Force has been able to reduce repair cycle time on high cost items from 90 to 45 days. The Navy reduced stocks of high demand Subscribers To report Improper or non delivery of the Mail Tribune In Medford, phone 772-6141-.

McNamara cited a 100 per cent increase in nuclear war heads in the strategic alert forces and a 60 per cent in crease in U.S. nuclear forces in Europe as evidence that economies had not affected combat strength. Dollar-Saving Projects "Actions now planned for fiscal years 1964 and 1965 will bring the estimated annual savings, to be realized by fis cal year 1967, to almost $4 billion," he said. McNamara said the biggest reductions last year were un der a program neaoea cuy- Hatten, Staff Plan To Attend Course Jackson County Assessor Thad Hatten and members of his staff will spend Monday in Eugene attending a school on the new tax laws enacted during the recent legislative session.

He said $1.2 billion worth of equipment taken from excess stocks was made serviceable after overhaul or repair. , -Shifting t o competitive buying. McNamara said this usually reduces the cost of items by 25 per cent. -Terminating unnecessary operations. Sale of 265,905 acres of land and 54 plants eliminated operating expenses that in a full year would total $316 million. Sioux Indian Popular as Photo Model Keystone, S.D. OJPD Ben TH0M1- Vilr full MaaJJ f lala Sioux Indian, probably Is as familiar to American tour ists as the Indian-head nickel and beyond a doubt the most photographed Indian In the nation. With special permission from the National Park Serv- . tlirPM fit. ih hHA nf Mnnni Rushmore In Western South Dakota. During peak summer months, he is photographed as often as 5,000 times day. Mount Rushmore Is famous for the faces of four Presl- dents - Washington, Jeffer son, Teddy Roosevelt and Lin coln - chiseled in the moun tain side. During the past 16 years Black Eik has been an Integ ral part of the gigantic sculp ture and often has been called the "fifth face on the moun tain." His photograph has been taken with everything from a box camera to expen sive Imports, and amateur movie cameras to the giant television cameras used In the first U.S. Telestar broadcast. Black Elk's regular dress at Mount Rushmore Is that of a brave - he wears the chief headdress only when posing for special pictures, or at the request of a tourist. Born in 1B99 at Manderson, a small community on the Pine Ridge Indian Reserva tion, he is the sixth in line to carry the name Black Elk His father and the famous chief Crazy Horse were first cousins. Both participated In the Battle of the Little Big Horn against General Custer - Won Awards Prior to his work In tourist business Black Elk was a suc cessful rancher in western South Dakota and won sev- . eral awards for his crops and livestock. He still has his ranch and some cattle, but now spends the summer months at Mount Rushmore and travels with his wife, Pretty Leaf, on personal ap pearances during winter months. During the Initial Tclstar broadcast - sent from the United States to 19 European countries - Black Elk's pic ture was beamed across the continent, then throughout the United States in a Inter broadcast. He was the first human to appear on Tclstar. Another familiar face in the Black Elk family was Ben's uncle, Iron Tall. He posed as the Indian on the U.S. Indian head nickel.
