ASSESSMENT WORK
Although Senate Interior and
Insular Affairs Committee ap
proval has been given to the
waiver of assessment work „on
unpatented mining claims for the
assessment year of July 1, 1957,
to July 1, 1958, considerable
doubt has been expressed that
the provision will become law.
The waiver is contained in a
bill reported to the Senate which
would make permanent an as
sessment year from September 1
of one year to September 1 of
another. The waiver for the
present year would apply to not
more than six claims held by
the same individual and to not
more than 12 claims held by the
same partnership, association, or
corporation. Notices to hold
such mining claims would have
to be filed in the recording dis
trict.
Delegate Bartlett pointed out
that claimants who have not per
formed their assessment work
for the year ending July 1,
1958, should not count on passage.
He recalled that when the last
waiver was granted several years
ago, the House Interior and In
sular Affairs Committee made it
clear that no further similar pro
posals would be entertained.
2,840 Jam Carnegie Hall
To Welcome Winner Of
Tchaikovsky Contest
NEW YORK, tff) — A lanky,
blond Texan who plays the piano
was a hero in his own country
Monday night. 1
All but two of the 2,840 per
sons who jammed Carnegie Hall
welcomed home Van Cliburn
with a tumultuous ovation.
At the intermission that fol
lowed the first of his two offer
ings, Cliburn was able to report
backstage, as he changed his
sweat-soaked shirt, that the feel
ing was mutual.
“I’m so happy Jo be home
again,” he said.
The two who did not join in
the applause at the recital last
night were Harvey Lavan Cli
bum Sr. and his wife. They
seemed transfixed with the re
ception their son had received.
This was the first time Cli
burn was heard here since he
won the International Tchaikov
sky contest in Moscow a month
ago and became somewhat of an
international goodwill ambassa
dor.
W. G. Rogers, Associated Press
Arts Editor, wrote in his review
of Cliburn’s recital:
“He had a spectacular tech
nique, and an impressive tone
and body that will grow to match
it.”

House ComuuUeel
Subpoenas
Cyrus Eaton
NEW YORK UR — The House
Committee on un-American Ac
tivities has subpoenaed indus
trialist Cyrus S. Eaton to appear
before it as a result of his at
tack on the nation’s internal
security agencies.
The wealthy Eaton said at his
farm estate near Cleveland that
he will be “delighted” to ap
pear.
The subpoena was disclosed
by Richard Arens, staff director
of the committee headed by Rep.
Francis Walter (D-Pa).
“Cyrus Eaton is not a Commu
nist,” Arens said. He declared,
however, that Eaton’s remarks
are “typical of a campaign of
vilification which the Commu
nist conspiracy is promoting in
the United States against our
security agencies and will ac
celerate in the future by all its
devious devices to weaken our
internal defenses.”
Arens said Eaton played into
the hands of the Communists
May 4 when he charged in a
filmed TV interview that the
United States is turning into a
“police state.”
On the TV program Eaton said
the FBI was one of many agen
cies engaged in “snooping . . . in
forming . . . creeping up on
people.”
