Governor lee Advises Western Miners
Not to Ask Government for Subsidy
SACRAMENTO, Calif., UP) —«
Western mining industry men
were advised by Gov. J. Bracken
Lee of Utah last night against ask
ing the government for a subsidy.
“The minute you ask for a sub
sidy you’re adding strength to
socialism,” he said at a banquet
meeting of the Western Gover
nor’s Mineral Policies Conference
which ended Tuesday with recom
mendations destined for congres
sional consideration.
“I’d have a tariff and I’d have
one high enough to protect the
industries at home.”
If everyone got a subsidy, Lee
said, the resllt would be Com
munism.
“I wonder if we’re deliberately
trying to destroy this nation’s
form of government,” he mused.
If the United States thinks it
has to support the rest of the na
tions, he said, “We had better get
ourselves in condition” before
running out of money. He sug
gested “a return to constitutional
government” and cutting the gov
ernment’s power by limiting “the
amount of money goverment can
take away from its citizens.
“We’re passing something on to
our children we ought to be
ashamed of.”
S. H. Williston of Palo Alto,
Calif., told the lead, zinc and sil
ver section that a higher tariff
will be impossible to get. He
warned that the State Department
as well as both political parties
and eastern states, will be against
it because the purpose of a low
tariff is to help the economy of
foreign countries.
Williston recommended instead
that they ask for the government
to pay the tariff it collects on im
ported minerals to the domestic
industry.
The nation cannot continue to be
wealthy unless its mining indus
try prospers, said Gov. Charles H.
Russell of Nevada. He called for a
general, united program to help
all of the industry instead of stop
gap recommendations for seg
ments.
The conflict between state and
federal land laws regulating land
usage is “one helluva mess,” Gov.
Milward L. Simpson of Wyoming
told a news conference. He said
the government owns 52 per cent
of Wyoming and Gov. Russell
said it holds 86 per cent of Nev
ada.

To Get Wolf Bounty
VELEETiKA, Okla., Itf)—Mrs.
Dorothy Hendrix, deputy treasur

“It’s “Dead-Eye Dot,” in recog

grabbed her .22 pistol and plugged
the critter five times.
She snipped off its ears, took
them to the courthouse, and col

bounty payment.

Soviet Embassy
Holds Gala Party
For Anniversary
WASHINGTON; (JV-The Soviet
embassy took down the iron cur
tain and unrolled the red velvet
carpet Monday at a party cele
brating the 38th anniversary of
the revolution that brought the
Bolsheviks to power.
Something like a thousand per
sons attended the reception and
consumed stacks of food laid out
on a huge buffet.
Four bars were kept busy and
attendants reported scotch and
soda ran a nip-and-tuck popular
ity with vodka.
The diplomatic corps was pre
sent almost to a man with the
exception of a few envoys like
those of Nationalist China and
Cuba whose countries have no
diplomatic relations with Moscow.
Ambassadors Abba Eban of
Israel and Ahmed Hussein of
Egypt, whose compatriots are
raiding across each other’s bor
ders, were there with their wives
but there was no report of any
personal encounter. Neither was
there any indication of a riffle
over Red bloc arms being sup
plied to Egypt.
Deputy Undersecretary of State
Robert Murphy, was the ranking
U.S. State Department representa
tive in attendance. Supreme Court
Justice William O. Douglas, who
toured Russia last summer, was
there with Mrs. Douglas.
Ambassador Georgi Zaroubin
and his wife stood under a heroic
size portrait of the late Premier
Stalin to receive their guests.
