Prospector Owes $1.8 Million In Tax Backlog RENO, Nev. (AP) Charles Steen, whose uranium discoveries a decade ago brought him from rags to riches, owes the government $1.8 million, the Internal Revenue Service said Wednesday. The I'RS seized his office building near the Reno airport and Cassair, his light plane sales and service company at the airport. The taxmen filed liens totaling $1,839,932 in several Nevada counties against Steen property including his Arabian horse ranch in Washoe Valley between Reno and Carson City.

He made his fortune in uranium near the southern Utah desert town of Moab. The IRS says he owes the $1.8 million on individual income tax returns from 1958 to 1960.

Croix Methodists. The Rev. Mrs. (Lucy) Norton came here officially with the duties of cook and spiritual leader. Actually, she has been ihe leaven in the loaf who has added a depth of fellowship and a dimension of personal magnanimity, in addition to her "oMicia!" role.

Mrs. Norton has been pastor for the Edneyville (N.C.) Charge Edneyville and Fruit-land churches of the Asheville Methodist District, Western North Carolina Conference, since June of 1966. She is the wife of a real estate broker and the mother of three children. Her husband, here in St. Croix with her, enjoys his role in his wife's mission and says, "I guess I'm the preacher's wife.

We are often introduced as 'The Rev. and Mrs. Norton'. In her work here, Lucy has found many opportunities for the Christian ministry often closed to male clergymen. For instance, after delivering radio devotions, she is often called by St.

Croix women who have deep personal problems they are unable to share with men. She has talked with hostesses of St. Croix' most lovely homes, she has given encouragement to the two young U.S. Methodist missionaries here, she has brought joy to a kindergarten class of five-year-olds and has preached through an interpreter to a Spanish-speaking congregation. Lucy has endured rats, 5 a.m.

risings which come quickly after noisy team members taik late into the night, has worked with the other women team members in doing the laundry, cooking and housekeeping, and delivers moving devotionals at vespers as chaplain for the group. Mrs. Norton became a lady of the cloth after serving for four-and-a-half years as the educational assistant for First Methodist Church in Hendersonviiie. Her ministry, she says, was launched after her husband and children, Pat. Shirley and Bill, insisted she say-yes to the bishop's request that she become pastor for t.ie Edneyville Charge.

Church work is not new to her. She was heavily involved in the district and Conference program of the Woman's Society of Christian Service. She was secretary of spiritual life cultivation for the Asheville district and also district president of the WSCS. She later served as conference secretary of spiritual life cultivation. Here in St.

Croix she has joined the other team members in a group relationship that has communal life and a daily exposure to the problems of humor, accomplishments and tensions of "pilgrims in a foreign land." The team members will return lo North Carolina Saturday, March 2. They have been here since Feb. 17 constructing a community center for Methodists who are led by Dr. and Mrs. John Stroud, former leaders of Cherokee Methodist work Western North Carolina.

The Rev. Harley Dickson, superintendent of the Waynesville District of the Western North Carolina Con ference, is overall coordinator of tne work. Another group of volunteer Western North Carolina laborers worked here Feb. 3-17. Blinded Soldier Declines Steak, Eats Hamburger CHICAGO (AP) A Trenton, soldier ate a special lunch of two hamburgers aboard an airliner Wednesday while the other passengers had steak.

Sp. 4 James Mitchell, 20 made the request for the ham burgers. Mitchell was blinded in Vietnam fighting and has not learned to cut steak by himself. His parents, who traveled with the soldier, said he preferred the hamburgers which he could eat by himself rather than depend on someone to help him Mitchell was en route to Wal ter Keed Army Hospital in Washington, D.C., where he will be treated and trained in daily activities. "If I could see." Mitchell said, "I'd go back." He spent nine months in Vietnam before he was wounded in fighting in Chou Lai.

Mitchell worked as a mechanic in a tractor plant in Trenton before he entered the army. He said he is uncertain what he will do when he is discharged, but he is confident the army will "do a good job" training him fcrr something. WASHINGTON (AP) The Navy says it has restored to full duty the commander who was given a psychiatric examination after volunteering information to the Senate Foreign Relations Committee about the Gulf of Tonkin incidents.

"I believe the public record should be clear on this point: the Navy's medical board, by; a vote of 3 to 0, found him physically fit for duty."
