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."

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

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.

he also listed these dollar-sav
ings projects:
-Increased use of excess in
ventories. 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

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.
