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.
