(UP) Belief grew in some quarters today that U. S. officials are thinking about spurring Great Rritain'a A-Bomb project in the interests of western European defense. This could be done in two ways: By turning over V.

S. technical information acquired since the war on atomic weapons production and by stepping up Britain's share of foreign uranium supplies. COI I.D RE JUSTIFIED Helping the British to get the bomb sooner could be justified, some people in Washington be-lieve, by the same arguments used in Justifying the North Atlantic Defense Treaty. The officials concerned continued mum on their secret atomic conference with President Truman at the Blair House Thursday night. Iadwood.

BANK DEBITS IN LEAD SHOW LARGE GAIN 60 Percent Increaie Over June 1948; i Deadwood Shows Lost I Bank dibits in Lend during (June, as also was the rase in May, continued to show a large gain while Deadwood showed a loss, 'according to figures released today by the Federal Reserve Bank 'of Minneapolis. i The increase in Lead was 60 percent above June and only eight percentage points lower than the record point reached in the City during May. Figures for the first half of this year revealed a 1 10 percent increase compared to the similar liHS period.

In Deadwood, June bank deb- its were 5 percent below the HH8 i figure and were down the same amount for the 6-month period compared to last year. Debits for the state of South Dakota as a whole showed a 3 percent decline in comparison to last June. Totals for the first six months were down 5 percent. Bank debit figures represent the dollar volume of checks Jdrawn by depositors against their bank accounts with most of these checks going in payment for -goods, service and debts, They are normally a good indicator of the general business volume. The local picture, the Federal Reserve Bank pointed out, may occasionally be distorted, however, since debits do include transfers of funds which of themselves have no business significance.

Forest Fire Is Controlled In Manna District A forest fire at Hanna was i brought under control about 5 (O'clock, Saturday afternoon, it was reported by John Kimble, staff assistant of the Black Hills National Forest. It was not a large fire 1 but Kimble had not received a re- port on its acreage late Saturday jnight. The fire was reported at 1:40 I Saturday afternoon, one and a miles southeast of Hanna be tween Ward and Grier Gulches. Ranger Don Price and a crew of men from the Rochford district went to the scene at once and 10 men from the Homestake Mining Company were on the job in the middle of the afternoon. Origin of the fire was not determined.

Another fire was reported late Saturday afternoon, Kimble said. It was being fought by a crew of men from Deadwood under direction of John Burke, staff assistant, and another crew from Nemo in charge of Ranger Orlo Jackson. It was located in Lost Gulch, about halfway between Deadwood and Sturgis, near the old Burchett place, Kimble said. It was reported by Cleo Wells, Deadwood, and later by an airplane pilot who happened to be making a late flight over the Hills. Several other persons called in during the evening about it.

Thirty-seven university students from all over the United States are winding up a 6-week course in field geology in the Rlack Hills, offered by the University of Iowa at Iowa City. Headquartering at Dean Scott's Jubilee camp In Poorman Gulch between Lead and Central City, they are working the northern Hills area from the west side to Bear Butte and from Crow Peak to Nemo. FIELD COURSE The Black Hills Is chosen for the field course because it la considered one of the finest regions in the world for the teaching of geology from a practical standpoint, Dr. J. J.

Runner, of the department of geology at Iowa, who is in charge of the group, said. He has been bringing field groups to the Black Hills for the University since 1920, omitting the war years. "This is one of the finest geological sections in the world," he declared. "Every formation, every phase of the geological processes of the textbooks are represented here so that our students arc able to accomplish a great deal more than in an area where we wouhf have to travel more." The trip Is a stiff pmfes-sloiial twining course lnc? practically every man enrolled becomes a professional. The men, all til's except two, start out at 7 a.

m. and classes and Arid work continue until 4 p. m. with Sulurday afternoons and Sundays off. Each student Is required to write a detailed report after his return to school, Dr.

Runner pointed out. "We work the students hard for this is by no means a cultural course," Dr. Runner said, "but that doesn't ship them from coming. We refused 30 or 40 applications because we couldn't handle them." Motion Picture To Be Shown At Of "The Price of Freedom," 23-mintite motion picture, is designed to demonstrate that the price of freedom is a matter of individual responsibility and that personal freedom can be lost through apathy, disunity and misunderstanding. It will be shown in Deadwood Tuesday at the regular luncheon meeting of the Deadwood Chamber of Commerce at the Franklin Hotel.

It was made by the National Association of Manufacturers and obtained through the Black Hills Mercantile Company, Deadwood, a member of NAM. The film was produced by Jack Chertok, president of the Apex Film Company, winner of more academy awards than any other producer of live action films. Included in the cast are Arthur Franz, who appeared In the "Red Stallion in the Rockies," an American airman twice shot down in Europe and rescued from a concentration camp by the underground, and Michael Chekhov, nephew of the famous Russian dramatist, Anton Chekhov, who is a teacher, author and actor of both screen and stage in Europe and America. Each member is asked to bring one younger person to see the film. Pioneers Discuss Mt.

Roosevelt Improvements Plans for improvements at Mt. Roosevelt and of the highway leading to it, were discussed by the president and a group of members of the Society of Black Hills Pioneers at an informal meeting held Saturday in the Adams Museum in Deadwood. Details of the improvements will be worked out later. August 20 was tentatively set for the annual dinner of the society. Present for the meeting were Albert Gushurst, Lead, president; George Hunter, Albro Ayres, Mrs.

Minnie Oleson, Miss Marie Law-ler and D. M. McGahey, of Dead-wood, and whether or not they were property owners, or operators of business firms. PARKER OBJECTS City Attorney Tom Parker objected to such questions on the erotind.H that nnthinff twim iLlarK interests had not yet been decided upon. Steel Furnaces Roaring Intervention Has Forestalled Wage Increases riTTSRCROH, iCIM-The nation's steel furnaces roared back into production Saturday with the CIO United St eel workers promise of 6') days strike-free operations.

Mill workers poured through pickctless gates to recharge steel-niaking open hearth furnaces and reheat Iron blast furnaces which had closed In anticipation of a walkout of some 37.r.000 workers of the basic steel industry Friday midnight. WAOK DISI'l TE CIO president Philip Murray postponed the walkout when the steel operators agreed to take the wage-insurance-pcnsion dispute to a fact-finding board appointed by President Truman. Basic steel production, which had been curtailed drastically as early as Thursday when a strike appeared certain, was expected to near the scheduled rate for the current week 77.8 percent of capacity no later than Tuesday. The grizzled CIO-llSW chief said that President Truman's action made possible a solution of the dispute between his union and the steel companies over the USW's demands for an undisclosed general wage increase, broad social insurance and $150-a-month pensions for aged and disabled workers. Meanwhile.

President Truman's successful intervention in the steel dispute appeared today to have forestalled for the rest of the summer a showdown on labor's fourth-round wage demands. IH SINESS CONDITIONS The President's advisers believed his strategy in the steel crisis has pushed the inevitable decision on another general pay raise back to early autumn. By that time, they said they feel business conditions will bc more favorable for a peaceful settlement of the wage, insurance and pension demands of the United Steel-workers and other big industrial unions. Kiwanians To Award Derby Race Prizes Lead Kiwanis Club members Monday night will be host to all Soap Box Derby contestants at an award dinner for the presentation of prizes. In addition to the awarding of prizes, a group of Junior Red Cross representatives attending a school at Custer will be guests of the group and explain the work being done at the camp.

It was reported on usually good authority, that Mr. Truman talked over with the top diplomatic, atomic, military and congressional leaders present the problem of sharing atomic information with Canada and Britain. Chairman David E. Lillenthal of the Atomic Energy Commission, who was one of the Thursday night conferees, told congressional investigators last May 2fi that the confused postwar status of atomic relations with the British and Canadians is "causing bitterness." FI LL PARTNERS From 1913 on, the two allies were full partners with the United States in developing the A-Bomb. But the Atomic Energy Act of banned export of atomic information to any foreign nation.

Information exchange has continued in certain fields where the British already were privy to such scientific and teriinirHl "sei-rets'' as were involved. Wonderful Toy' URBANA, 111., UP) Seven-year-old Ronnie Runyan found a wonderful "toy." But his mother took It away from him and got rid of it. Ronnie found it and dragged it back to the house. Mrs. Runyan called police.

Police called the air force. The air force sent demolitions experts who buried the "toy" so deep that Ronnie will never find it again. The "toy" was a .75 millimeter artillery shell. Newsli mes A newcomer to Lead entered a restaurant where two busi ness men were having coffee. The newcomer a.sked one of the men which was the best bank In town as he wanted to do some business.

The question caused both men to smile and one replied that he thought perhaps the man had better ask someone else as he might be prejudiced. The stranger happened to be talking to Bill Schoen, an official of the Lend branch of the First National Bank of the Black Hills A local youngster took a bottle from a closet and asked his grandmother what was in it. When she replied, "cedar polish" he immediately a.sked if he couldn't polish some cedars One of the big bosses of a Lead business man was in town recently with his wife and visited at the man's home. The bosses wife was wearing a suit with a dickey rather than a blouse. The 5-year old daughter of the local man looked for a while and finally said, "Say your underwear is bhowing." Jail Breakers ALLIANCE, (UP) Eight prisoners of an Alliance jail broke out morning.

Rot drunk, and broke back in again. The prisoners, thre of them Indians, climbed out of the pokey through an oen transom. They went to town, forged a check and bought a meal ticket and quart of whisky. In a gay mood, they returned to the jail and broke back in the same way they got out. Authorities might never have known about the whole thing.

But two of the prisoners, Johnny Pumpkinseed and Seth Red Shirt, got Into an argument over the change from the forged $15 check. Jailers investigated. They found the bottle empty and the prisoners full. They also found that another prisoner, 22-year-old Earl Snyder, had escaped during the confusion, lie made no attempt to come back, local teams some good tussles. They have practically taken over Scott's camp where they occupy 12 cabins.

Meals are served at the ramp. Two cooks, Mrs. Lou-etta Williamson and Mrs. Bernice Lemmon, were brought over from Onida by Scott to see that they have plenty of food. (iOOD HUNCH "There couldn't be a better bunch of fellows." Scott commented.

Rotary Cub To Entertain Soap Box Derby Winner George Oyler of the Seaton Publishing Company, co-sponsor with the Twin City Motor Company, Deadwood, of the annual Soap Box Derby and the first and second winner's in today's races will be guests of the Deadwood Rotary Club at the regular luncheon Monday at the Franklin Hotel. I. E. Litz, general manager of the Twin City Motor Company, is a member of the club and also will be at the luncheon, i the members of the mat decisions on those matters were questions of law on which the board had no authority to rule. Such legal matters would have to be referred to the courts.

Curran said. Cushman Clark, upon Carroll's request, presented sworn testimony relative to comparative front footage assessed valuations on business areas In Lead and Deadwood. Clark stated that Main street properties In Lead between Wall Galena on both sides of Main had an av-erage front footage valuation of $80 per front foot. In Deadwod, in the area of Main street between Wall street and the point where City Creek crosses under Mum street, including the theatre building and the Frankly Hotel, front footage is assessed ni j1I0 ppl. foo, Curran asked lark If he were aware of the fact that Mead-wood lots are owned under what is called the warranty tide and that In Lead the lots are under a townsitc title In which the mineral values are reserved to the Homestake Mining Compnny and that the company pays taxes on the mineral cluims In addition to the surface right taxes paid by the owners of the building.

A request by Clark that he bc allowed to state the circumstances and conditions under which the City of Deadwood arrived at the 1949 total valuation was denied by Curran. "I thinlt that is broadening the scope of the thing." Curran said, "it i my de-siie to liurt It to the at is; Curran said. "I am going to 'e that llii ie.itlon before the board is whether or not the assessed valuation placed upon the Clark property in Deadwood is a fair assessment and the evidence as to how tbe city council arrived at the amount of that assessment is irrelevant and immaterial. REST CASE At that point Carrell said, "In that event I do not believe that we have any further evidence to offer, limited as we have been by the members of board at this time. We will rest the case." In addressing the board prior to the vote Curran said "We should confirm this assessment or not confirm it.

As far as we have gone, the evidence shows they (Clark) haven't compared any piece of Clark Real Estate property in Deadwood with any property adjoining it In Dead-wood. "The only evidence they have offered with reference to other assessments is real estate values in the City of Lead which, by the advice of our state's attorney, is under the circumstances not acceptable evidence according to legal decisions which he quoted in advice to this board. (State's Attorney Larry McDonald Saturday morning advised the board that the state tax statutes contemplate that in complaints to equalization boards with reference to tax assessments, the complaint should relate to assessment of property of the complainant. He advised the board that the question for them to decide was whether the Clark properties in Dead-wood- were valued under fair assessment of actual values.)

Lead Juniors Take Pierre Team 7-3 Coach Bill Mitchells' American Legion Juniors Saturday night at Pierre hung the third straight defeat on the Capitol City boys 7 to back of the 3-hit pitching of Danny iJirson. I-ad twice defeated Pierre in Lead late In June. Ixad jumped Into a 3-run lead in the first Inning when Johnson, Peed, Murray and Plymell socked successive, singles. Pierre came back with one run In the first and another In the third, but a 4-run I-ad splurge in the fourth salted the game away. Erlocker and Mattson singled, Larson sacrificed, Llndipiist singled, and a fielders' choice, walk and error accounted for the runs.

Pierre pushed over another run in the last of the sixth, but Larson was effective throughout and the, East River team had little chance to work up a rally. Larson struck out five, gave three bases on balls and never was in serious trouble. Hyde, hurling for Pierre was for 10 hits, struck out five and walked two.
