Idaho Company Files Lawsuit Against Oil Man An atomic fuel corporation, owned mostly by stockholders in Pocatello and surrounding area, has filed a $23 million lawsuit against a San Antonio, oil Slick.

The Atomic Fuel Extraction Co. is asking damages totaling $23,697,170 from. Slick and two firms he controls, Transwor'd Resources Corp. and Nuclear Resources, Inc. The suit, claims that Slick, through Transwortd and Nuclear, agreed to put up $2,000,000 in cash to guarantee to the Atomic Energy Commission that ft uranium milling plant woulii be built by Atomic Fuel Extraction Co.

at Bedrock, Colo. When Slick failed to post the money by the Oct. 1, 1957 deadline, the AEC terminated its contract with Atomic Fuel, causing the firm to lose an estimated $23,597,170 in profits, the suit charges. The suit also asks other damages of $100,000. The contract between the AEC and Atomic Fuel would have called for the processing firm to process uranium ore into uranium oxide and sell the urani'im oxide to the AEC, the suit said.

John R. Black, Pocatello attorney, is listed as the chief stockholder in.the firm. He is also secretary, treasurer and general counsel of the corporation. Most of the other stockholders are located in eastern Idaho, he said. Allegheny Corp 0 Allied Stores 54 Allls Chalmers 29' Amer.

Dept. has assured Budge that all other, production equipment is to he declared excess with the plant as soon as an appraisal can be made of the Navy's needs in relation to available equipment at the plant. The NOP here has 620 a items, of machine tools having an original cost of $9.5 million.

In addition, there is a very large of various tools and equipment not classed as major items. As of April 21, the Bureau of Naval Weapons had issued shipping orders for 58 items ot machinery having a cost rjf $690,000. Included in the were 17 items not classed as major and having a coil of less than $1,000 each. Floyd S. Bryant, assistant secretary of defense, said that careful attention has been given to authorizing the removal of this equipment from the plant to assure that each item was specifically needed for current production now 'and was not otherwise available in the Navy's reserve tool inventory.

Most of the items will be used tor Navy production, Bryant said, but' some will be used for Air Force production and one item will be used by the Atomic Energy Commission. "The secretary pt the Navy cannot declare excess the 58 items of equipment mentioned above," he said, "or any others which may later when there is a specific need for the machinery." Johnson said that Budge was working "very hard" for the best interests of Pocatello, and he felt the remaining equipment, not needed by the Navy, would be declared excess in the near future.

Civil Rights Bill (Continued from Page One.) ity for he attorney general, fo seek injunctions in civil rights cases and a permanent commission to fight race discrimination in employment on federal contracts. Strengthens Court Orders Although primarily a i rights measure, the new law also strengthens federal authority to deal with bombers and persons who organize violent tions against court orders such as those desegregating i schools.

The heart of the measure is a new procedure to help Negroes, or Sther minorities, fight discrimina lion against them at the ballot box. Teamed in this effort will be the U.S. Department of Justice, federal courts and officers, of the courts called referees. The bill provides for the attorney general' to file suit, asking courts to find whether there is a pattern of discrimination against the exercise of rights. After such a finding, court-appointed referees could hear complaints from persons If the referee found, such persons quplifled.under state law, he could order that they be permitted to register and vole.

The new voting procedure may be in this fall's elections, although the law is expected to be challenged in court, delaying a showdown; Rogers said he hopes responsible state officials will voluntarily act -to eliminate discrimination, but that if not, the Department of all complaints and "proceed vigorously," Election records must be preserved for 22 months and shown to Justice Department representatives on demand. Other sections of the law provide: Obstruction of U.S. court orders by'threats or force is a'federal crime, punishable by up to $1,000 fine, and one year's imprisonment. Flight to avoid prosecution for bombing a religious or educational structure, home or other building, or the interstate transportation of explosives for such a purpose are federal crimes. Penalties range up to death if the explosion causes loss of life; otherwise up to 10 years imprisonment and $10,000 fine.

The commissioner of education is authorized to set up school facilities for children of servicemen. (Continued from Pago 1) other points, including: 1. Eisenhower's decision to leave the Paris meeting after seven days, if it continues beyond a week, shows a lack of interest in seeking peace. 2. His assignment of Vice President Richard M.

Nixon as a possible substitute if the conference asts over a week is bad because Khrushchev claims Nixon is not interested in ending the cold war. 3. The United States has taken an intransigent attitude on disarmament issues instead of displaying a desire for agreement with the Soviet Union. The attitude on German and West Berlin problems is not in lint 1 with the need to settle East-West differences and end the cold war. Officials who have studied the full Khrushchev text say these points stand out along with the airplane shooting incident and help define his purpose.

Khrushchev said his "will make a severe protest" to the United Slates over the alleged violation of its air space, but the communication had not been received Thursday night. There was no official' identification of the craft. However, indications -pointed to! an American weather plane re-j ported missing since Sunday. Its civilian pilot was identified as Francis G. Powers, 30, Pound, a test pilot for the Lockheed Aircraft Corp.

Powers was flying c. high altitude weather research plane of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration. The State Department, i not stating this was the plane involved, said it. was possible that the pilot blacked out because of a failure of the craft's oxygen equipment. It said -the plane might have continued on automatic pilot and accidentally- violated Soviet air space.

NASA said Thursday Powers' plane may be the one b'nut down Dance Schools To Give Show In Music Week Three dance classes be fea- tucd this evening in the Pocatello High School gymnasium at 7:30 p. m. as Pocatello Music Week presents the third in a series of four programs.
