I'afl Says Aid Plan
Is Too Much
(By Jack Bell)
DENVER, (fP) — Senator Taft,
• R.-O.* said Saturday morning a
$5,300,000,000 outlay for 12
months of European aid is "too
large.” Taft, who heads the Sen
ate Republican policy committee,
told a news conference here he
expects congress to reduce that
amount.
The Senate foreign relations
committee previously approved a
bill making the $5,300,000,000
available lor the 12 months be
ginning April 1.
"I think the amount they have
indorsed is still too large,” Taft
said. “In addition to it, vve will
have to spend $300,000,000 feeding
the people of Germany. That will
make more than $6,000,000,000
for the 12 months and that is too
large.”
The Ohioan declined to sot any
alternate figure. But he said he
believes foreign spending should
be limited to the amount in the
current year—somewhere between
four and five billion dollars.
"I would guess that the figure
finally approved by Congress
would be somewhat less than the
committee total,” Taft said. "The
House is inclined toward a lower
figure. I do not know what will
happen in the Senate.”
Alaska Mineral
Production Still
Below Pre-War
WASHINGTON, (/P) — Alaska’s
mineral output increased 14 per
cent during 1947 but is still con
siderably below the pre-war level,
the bureau of mines said today.
The bureau estimated value of
the Territor’s 1947 mineral pro
ducts at $14,341,000. compared
with a pre-war annual value of
$25,000,000.
Production increased for all
metals except mercury, platinum
and tungsten. Coal output de
clined 9 per cent but was still the
third largest on record.
Sand, gravel, stone and other
non-metallics were produced at
about the same rate as in 1946.
Alaska produced zinc for the
first time during 1947—22,000
pounds, worth $2,574, from the Big
Four Mining Company’s Maloney
mine on George Inlet, 15 miles
south of Ketchikan.
Gold production was 302,299
fine ounces worth $10,580,465,
compared with 226,781 ounces
worth $7,937,335 in 1946.
Silver production was 69,392
ounces valued at $62,800, com
pared with 1946 production of 41,
793 ounces worth $33,779.
Lead concentrate from the Riv
erside mine near Hyder produced
26,000 pounds of copper worth
$5,434, along with 528,000 pounds
of lead valued at $77,088. That
mine also produced a small
amount of tungsten ore.
Platinum production, all in the
Good News Bay district of south
western Alaska, declined 40 per
cent from the 1946 total of 22,882
ounces. No antimony, chromite,
mercury or tin production was re
ported during the year.
Coal production was 335,000
tons worth $2,051,000, compared
with 368,000 tons worth $2,359,000
in 1946.
The total output of other non

Not All High
Prices In Stales
ANADARKO, Okla. (A*)—'This
largely-Indian community may

*he.->e prices today:
Sliced bacon, 19 cent^ a pound.
Margarine, 31 cents a pound.
Flour, $1.95 for 25 pounds.
O'.he. cuts were six cents from
