battled giant drifts on roads south of here seek ing to open a way into the rugged country where more than 25000 head of sheep and an undeter mined number of herders are ma rooned by heavy snows It was feared if the roads are not opened in the next few hours thousands of head of sheep will perish for lack of food the usual forage now being buried under as much as 30 inches of snow' on the level Trucks loaded with hay are ready to speed into the area as soon as roads are opened Little fear was felt for the safe ty of the herders who always car ry ample supplies of food and fuel for any emergency Most of the sheep are believed marooned in an area between Elko and tlje Saddler ranch about 60 to 70 miles south of Elko Rescue workers today were re ported to be making slow progress

which was swept by an unseasonabe snow storm earlier this week Lew Gourley Elko airplane pi lot was standing by here awaiting clearing weather to fly over the area and attempt to locate the herds It

Joe today Private Joe was a member of the marine corps BY JEAN KAREL United Press Staff Correspondent SAN RANCISCO Nov 17 The federal government should guarantee permanent post war operation of the $190000000 Geneva Utah steel plant as a cor nerstone of future western pros perity a congressional committee headed by Sen Pat McCarran Nev investigating the centraliza tion of industry was told today Prof Mahoney director of the bureau of economic and busi ness research at the University of Utah suggested that the plant be sold to a postwar operator at a normal price the remainder of its cost to be written off as a wartime expense or that it be sold at a cost appropriate to its decreased post war capacity Mahoney said the plant now op erated by the Steel Company could be equipped to produce fab ricated metal products at an ad ditional cost of only $4000000 It now produces structural shapes principally for the shipbuilding in dustry The Geneva plant could turn out fabricated steel including flat rolled pieces and tins for the west ern canning industry at a low cost for the Pacific coast area Ma honey declared Development of this industry would in turn increase plant ca pacity he said and arrangements could be made for the operators to recompense the government later for the portion of the purchase price originally written off Answering claims that the Ge neva plant would not have a suffi cient market for postwar opera tion Mahoney declared that throughout the steel industry mar kets have never been available un til mills were built Low costs thus made available then bring the markets for fabricated steel he said Plenty Raw Material Mahoney declared the far west has all the essentials for indus trialization: Raw materials mar kets satisfactory production costs and available transportation Coking coal and iron ore depos its are both abundant in the west for Geneva the Henry Kaiser ontana Cal steel plant and oth ers he said There are large num bers of small undeveloped iron ore deposits and one half of the na unused coal reserves he tes tified An abundance of hydroelectric power oil and gas copper lead zinc and other metals is available for industrialization of the west Mahoney declared Presence of phosphates potash and nitrates should make an expanded fertil izer production feasible he added Chemical production from lum ber and petroleum byproducts and a textile industry based on the wool production of San Joaquin valley are other post war prospects Mahoney suggested Lester Sacramento Cal automobile distributor told the 30595 21716 would be unable to reach the scene until tomorrow Gourley said that the plane ap peared partially burned and that a body had been thrown clear of the wreckage He was unable to determine whether the body was of a man or woman Locating the plane was ham pered by temperatures ranging from zero to 10 above in the Carlin canyon section west of Elko where the plane was last reported before
