Dr.

Henry G. Fisk, director of the institute, said that the contract involves a "substantial sum" of money. The University of Wyoming is one of 49 American universities which have been chosen to carry out ordnance research projects. No information regarding the financial details of the contract, or its possible military application, can be released, Dr. Fisk said.

The University's project is entitled "Lime Bonded and Stabilized with Titanium Oxide as a Refractory for Special Applications," and is the outgrowth of other research dealing with titanium oxide which has been carried on by the natural resources research institute. The University's N.RJI.I. has been interested in titanium for some time since there is a fairly extensive titaniferous magnetic deposit approximately 20 miles from Laramie. Titanium is one of the newer metals and is very lightweight and remarkably resistant to corrosion.

Johnson said last night he would submit to the judge of the district court here "a notarized affidavit, stating my contentions, and ask the judge to order the secretary of state to put my name dn the ballot." Last week Johnson filed a nominating petition with the secre-atry of state as Democratic candidate for Congress. But refused to pay the $20 state filing fee. The petition was returned to him because it was not accompanied by the fee. Several weeks ago Johnson filed a petition for the Democratic nomination for governor, but it was rejected because no vacancy exists in the governorship even though Gov. Frank A.

Barrett is a candidates for the U. S. Senate. The accountant in went to the state supreme court in an effort to block Gov. Lester C.

Hunt from seeking election to the U.S. Senate. The high court overruled his contention that the governor could not seek the Senate seat while having two years left to serve on his four year term. In his present move, Johnson said he can't find anything in the state or federal constitutions requiring a candidate to file a $20 fee before he can run for office. The secretary of state has referred him to Section 31-902 of the Wyoming Compiled Statutes.

1945, as amended, which sets up the filing fees. Johnson, however, contends it had nothing to do with federal offices such as Representatives in Congress. He declared last nicht a iqi LEGION OF MOOSE INSTALL OFFICERS: Officers of the Legion of the Moose were installed ot ceremonies in the lodge hall here with members present from Sheridan, Douglas and Lender.

The complaint was filed with the NLRB in Denver yesterday. It was the latest development in a week long work stoppage arising from the breakdown of contract negotiations between the union and company. B.

J. Rickey of Casper, OWIU district director, said the charge accuses the company "with deliberately locking out refinery em- ployes in an effort to intimidate and coerce refinery employes OWIU into signing a new contract on company terms." On June 21 the company notified the union it considered its members on strike following two threatened strikes and an actual strike at the plant between May 30 and June 22. The union countered with a lock out charge, but made no formal complaint at the time. Yesterday afternoon three Cheyenne policemen helped the company move oil tank cars from the plant beyond the union picket line by pushing an automobile off the tracks at a street crossing. The car was driven onto the tracks end the driver contended his motor stalled.

William Henry Harrison (R-Wyo.) has expressed disappointment at British reaction to recent air raids in Northern Korea.

"In view of the great stake in men, money and materials which the United Nations have in Korea," he said. "I believe that United States actions in trying to bring the Korean campaign to a successful end as soon as possible and with as few losses as possible should be applauded by other UN participants rather than having them toss roadblocks into our way." Some British leaders have criticized the recent bombing raids in power facilities along the Yalu on the Korean-Manchurian border. "The Britishers." Rep. Harrison said, "seem to forget this nation (the United States) has by far the greatest stake in Korea, in men, money and materials. "United States casualties totaled 110,611 on June 25, 1952, the second anniversary of the Korean invasion from the north.
