Mining Industry Described Prostrate
WASHINGTON, <#—'The Am
erican Metals Mining Industry
was described yesterday as a
prostrate victim that was knock
ed out by the federal government
and Congress.
Joseph F.. Little of Denver
painted a black picture of metal
mining in the west.
“The prostrate condition of our
metal mining industry,” he told a
Senate Interior subcommitte,
“must be seen to be believed,”
Little, chairman of the Colo
rado Natural Resources Commit
tee and a mine owner, added:
“Once prosperous communities
are now ghost'towns. Mining pro
perties which produced millions
find which are known to have
large reserves, now have that
abandoned look so typical of the .
general. condition of the indus
try ...
“We have neither the men nor
the incentive to open up any pro
perties, and the economic loss to
the nation in payrolls, taxes,
machinery, equipment and build
ings is almost incalculable. Much
worse is the condition of thou
sands of little mine owners, who
have expended a lifetime of labor
and savings in developing a min
ing claim, only to see it become
worthless.
“Based upon tax schedules, it
is estimated that there are over
200,000 individually owned pat
ented or deeded mining proper
ties in this country. The owners
of these properties have been
paying taxes year after year, and
yet by law they are denied the
right of realizing any income
from these properties.”
“Virtually every mine that was
operating in 1940,” Little declar
ed, “has been closed by some
hostile act of the Congress or the
executive department of the fed
eral government.”
Little said owners “consider
the situation so hopeless they no
longer keep their mines in re
pair” after they are closed, and
skilled miners “are being scat
tered to the four winds.”
He recommended immediate
import duties on metals and a
system of import quotas and pay
ments to domestic producers as a
permanent program.
22 Governors Ask
President to Limit
Importation of Oil
AUSTIN, Tex., UP)—Twenty-two
governors, who last summer asked
President-Eisenhower to limit for
eign oil imports, pressed again for
“prompt action” in reducing im
ports. ,
One of them was Gov. Mike
Stepovich of Alaska.
Gov. Price Daniel said his of
fice sent the telegram on behalf
of the governors to the President
urging him to limit petroleum
imports to the 1954 ratio.
,fMany of us have asked Con
gress to require mandatory limit
ation of foreign oil imports, but
the President does not have to
wait for additional authority,”
Daniel said. “He has the power
now and should use it as Con
gress intended when it debated
this very subject and adopted the
National Security amendment in
1955.”
Daniel said the voluntary im
ports program “had failed to re
duce petroleum imports suffic
iently to protect the domestic ec
onomy and the national security.”

1st Sergeant Says
Elvis ‘Nice Kid’
FT. CHAFFEE, Ark.', (*—Re
cruit Elvis Presley ate a hearty
breakfast, weathered the jeers of
some soldiers here and prepared
for five hours of aptitude tests to
determine his temporary future
in the Army.
“It was good—but I’d eat any
thing this morning,” Elvis said of
his first Army meal.
A score of photographers sur
rounded the rock’n’roll idol and
recorded \ every motion of his
knife and fork. , 7
While eating chow Elvis ack
nowledged to newsmen he was po
ace at bed - making “but I’ll
learn.”
An officer called a halt to the
picture taking as Elvis munched
his second piece of toast.
During the march from the
mess hall to the testing center
Elvis was appointed “road
guard.” Obeying the shouted com
mand of a corporal he took up a
station in the middle of a street.
As the recruits, still dressed in
civilian clothes, passed one bar
racks several soldiers standing on
the steps jeered: “Give us a smile
Elvis!”
Elvis obliged with a grin and
then stared straight ahead.
First Sgt. Francis Johnson of
LaFayette, La., commented:
“There goes a nice kid. I’ll bet
I don’t have much trouble with
him.”
The 23-year-old singer, whose
gross income last* year was almost
a million dollars, will get the
$7 salary advance provided to
tide over recruits until payday.
Teen - age girls among the
crowd which greeted Presley
screamed a welcome. He was un
ruffled by the reception.
