Colo.) said today. Similar assurance came from Senator Edwin C. Johnson (Dem.

who said there is a "tremendous amount of uranium" in the Colorado plateau country. Both senators are members of the Senate-House of Representatives atomic energy committee. They spoke out separately as the United States prepared to enter into "exploratory conversations" with Britain and Canada on a long-range program of collaboration in raw materials supplies and exchange of atomic information. "I have no fear that we cannot secure uranium to operate our atomic energy plants," Milliken told a reporter. "Given proper price incentives and under effective organization, our domestic supplies available from the Colorado plateau, the surface of which has hardly been touched, will supply a very substantial amount of our needs.

Mr.

Knowles stated in his letter that his organization understands that authority has been given by the government to grant to the civil servants of Ottawa the Civic holiday but has not granted or made provisions for the extension of this privilege to civil servants employed in cities which also celebrate the Civic holiday on that date, or at some other date. "We have been instructed to very strongly protest the holiday provisions being restricted to the employes in the city of Ottawa, in view of the fact that through out the province of Ontario. as well as in the city of Winnipeg, the first Monday in August is generally observed as Civic day," his letter read.

Search For Dead War Graves Units Working By Frank Swanson Citizen Parliamentary Writer Four years after the end of the Second World War, the quest for 541 Canadian servicemen listed as "missing, presumed dead," is still under way. War graves registration units of the RCAF are operating in Europe, largely in the Russian-occupied zone of Germany, and in the Far East and other countries where Canadians were engaged in battle. Similar units in the army functioned during the war and for some time afterwards but have been disbanded. The air force units, while mainly concerned with air force personnel, are in contact with other branches of the service about identification of bodies. The air force units were established during the war to locate airmen who had been -reported missing, to identify the graves of Canadian pilots and to transfer the graves of Canadian airmen from isolated areas to burial grounds in allied countries.

541 On List The 541 servicemen whose bodies are still to be found include 36 officers and 506 other ranks. All three branches of the service are represented. This figure takes in all "missing, presumed dead" personnel with the exception of those who served at Hong Kong. About 100 are listed as missing in that island. The work of the RCAF identification and registration units in Europe is virtually completed, defence headquarters reported today, except for the Russian-occupied zone of Germany.

The units are based in Berlin and each time they enter the zone, special permission must be obtained from Soviet occupation authorities. This has slowed up the work.
