Newspaper Page TextTHURSDAY, NOVEMBER 17. 1955 KLAMATH FALLS'. OREGON HERALD AND NEWS. PAGE FIVE Prospectors Set To Rush Into New Uranium Lands GILLETTE, Wyo..v (UP) More than 300 half-frozen uranium pros pectors huddled around (Ires early today on the borders of the deso late Pumpkin Buttes area to begin a land rush which could erupt Into frontier days violence. By federal decree, 46,440 acres of public land around Pumpkin Buttes will be open for staking mining claims at 10 a.m., MST. Court Ponders Commie Law WASHINGTON (UP) The Amer ican Communist Party closes it long legal fight today against the government's effort to stamp it as subversive organization. The Supreme Court was sched uled - to hear arguments on the party's challenge to the 1950 Inter nal Security Act, first law to clamp down on the party as a whole rather than on Individual mem bers. The law requires the party to register as Moscow-controlled, dis close its membership and financial operations, and label its mail and broadcasts as coming from a "Communist action" group. It also kans CJommunists from govern ment or defense plant jobs and pro hibits them from receiving pass ports. The U.S. court of appeals here upheld by a 2-1 vote last Decem ber a Subversive Activities Control Board finding that the party was foreign-dominated and should reg ister as such with the attorney gen eral. At the same time the court found the law, also known as the McCarran act and the Subversive Activities Control Act, constitution al. , The act was approved in 1950 over former President Truman's veto. - The Communists' lawyers, John J. Abt of Kew York and Joseph Porer of Washington, p.C, contend ihe measure is an unconstitutional, "police state" threat to freedom ol speech. They warned the court it is the first step toward thought control In this country. In its appeal to the high tribunal, the Communist Party argues that it is being persecuted for unpopu lar political beliefs. It denies it has any Intention of advocating violent overthrow of the government or that it is run from Russia. the If gal picture is Beyond that, badly gnarled. Wyoming authorities feared that claim-jumping disputes miglit be settled on the spot with fists or guns. Highway Patrol Capt. R. O. Gal loway had eight patrol cars in the area to reinforce Campbell County Sheriff Ted Holderman. Both were frankly worried that the prospec tors would prove too iiiuch for the officers. Rancheis in the area. whr. hbld grazing leases of 3S.620 acres of the land, threatened to protect weir interests witn rules las: spring. So the laud rush was post poned until today, when the range is snow-swept and barren of grass. The temperature dropped below :ero during the night, but between tw and 4UO prospectors braved tne cold in sleeping bags - and the shelter of pickup trucks to be ready for the 10 a.m. rush. Whether there is any appreciable amount of uranium in the Pump kin Buttes country Is not known Some experts have said the land has "fabulous" potential value. Others' said it was "worthless About 200 persons in the area organized a mining district, em bracing all the land being opened lying in Campbell county. This dis- trict has a special recorder lor mining claims, and a "code of ethics" as well as a set of rules and regulations for filing claims. The code of ethics demands that all prospectors check their guns at a ranch house near Pumpkin Buttes. But it isn't likely that many will- heed this part of the cocie. The legal status of the mining district is also in question. Some prospectors may decide to file notice claims with the county cierK. This could produce a flood of law suits, since two claims might oe tiled on tne same land with different authorities. A single claim is limited to 20 acres, by federal law. A prospector must erect a "stake usually a rock pile in uranium country and aillx to the stake a claim notice, describing the physical features and boundaries of the 20 acres. Then the prospector must go to the proper agency and file a notice Of location, Prospectors are not limited to one claim. But federal law quires that they work the property and use It for mining, with due care for the rights of ranchers who have grazing leases. . . S ' ' ' : ' - ' S LV jjT e f ' ?
