4--San Mateo Times Monday, June 25, 1956 BIG FIRMS TAKE OVER ERANIUM PROSPECTING By SAM DAWSON DENVER The uranium industry is suffering from growing pains today as it plans for the time when it will hove many customers instead of' just one--Uncle Weekend prospecting fever is now abating. The big boys are moving in. The little fellow feels pinched. Oil and copper companies are buying deposits, prospecting their own. Costly Mills The big problem now is to get mflls near the large deposits to process the one.

A mill costs four million dollars and up--and that's not.for the small operator. Some 12'mills have been or are being built and uranium men predict tflat number will be doubled within two years. ISmall holders complain ot the ttghteness of money and the diffi- Romania, Tito Bury Hatchet BUCHAREST, Romania (ft -Romania's Communist leaders, entertaining President Tito of Yugoslavia as "a dear and beloved promise to comrade," have forget the past. Tito arrived yesterday in the Komaniari capital from Moscow, where he and Soviet leaders signed agreements to co-operate in the future at both government and Communist party levels. -During his three-day visit in Bif- tiharcst ho is expected to present to Romanian officials the new rules for co-operation nmong Com- itiunist governments decided at his Kremlin conferences.

"Gheorghe Gheorgiu-- Dej, Romanian Communist party chief, and Premier Chivu Stoica led the official greeters when Tito and his wife stepped from the special train taking them back to Belgrade after their Russian tour. President Petru Groza, Romania's strong man during Tito's' break the Soviet bloc, is ill. YOUTH ARRESTED I John James McCaliill, 1020 Cleveland street, Redwood arrested on a charge of drunk driving shortly after midnight when officer Qecil Brown, just oCf duty, and on his way home, stopped at the Norfolk. street-Third' avenue intersection and noticed a car driving towards him on the wrong side of the Third avenue overpass.

LAUNDERING CLUE Close zippers on washable before laundering them. Open zippers may tear other garments: culty of getting into production. Many arc selling to the -big com- But the uranium production picture in the West looks, good in general, in the opinion' of Walter E. Scott, Colorado's commissioner of mines. It was a-factor in helping Colorado set a record last year in total mining' production.

Scott predicts that the record will be broken again this year, and sees no drop in. demand in sight for most metals. National Total In country as a 'whole about IVs' million tons, of uranium ore is being mined this year. Robert Palmer, executive secretary of the Colorado Mining agrees that the outlook -for. the uranium industry is good and also for copper mining in the West.

But he is pessimistic about, some of the other metals, particularly lead'and'zinc. He thinks they're caught between the competition of cheaply produced foreign metal and the rising costs of mining here. The U. S. Atomic Energy Commission's announcement it will continue buying the metal through 1966 at around $8 a pound from the mills might even boost the price at the mines -Palmer believes.

It is now around $3.50 pound, plus'production bonuses by the AEC. Vanadium Price Holds Th'e ores yield considerable vanadium -along with the uranium, and the AEC will drop its'vanad- ium buying program, but Palmer says the price of vanadium should remain firm. Allan Jones, AEC operations office manager at Grand Junction says there is an increasing demand for vanadium by commercial users, and the miners should get good prices for. both the uranium and vanadium output. All the uranium produced in nation goes to the AEC at Grand Junction, and then goes "underground" 'again for strategic reasons.

But the commission look: forward to "a gradual transition from-a government controlled uranium market to a commercial market as industriaf demand for uranium develops."
