House Mining
Committee Asks
Ore Stockpiling
HAILEY, Idaho, {&) — Estab
lishment of more ore purchasing
depots throughout the west was
advocated by Rep. Ken Regan
(D-Texas> chairman of the House
Mines and Mining subcommittee.
“Stockpiling of ore is a good
answer to the reactivation of old
mines and the development of
new ones,” he told reporters. “If
the miner knew he had a long
range program—5 years or so—
we could develop a considerable
stockpile of strategic and needed
minerals.
“Expansion of the present pur
chasing depots is really the an
swer. Instead of trucking his ores
long distances to smelters, the
miner would have a nearby, ready
market.”
Regan indicated that an in
crease in the number of govern
ment purchasing depots would be
the most likely result to come
from a two - day congressional
hearing into the problem. It was
one of the principal requests
made by small mine operators.
However, Regan said he didn’t
see any way to meet another re
quest — that the government
“grubstake” prospectors in re
turn for an interest in any ores
they discovered.
Regan predicted that Congress
would approve the full $40,000,
000 requested by the administra
tion for mine exploration loans,
adding that he thought defense
materials procurement agency
would be able to commit that
much within a year.

Russian-Speaking Pilots
Now Flying Red MIGs
WASHINGTON, (/P) — Gen.
Hoyt Vandenberg, air chief of

pilots are flying some of the
communist jet fighter planes in
the Korean war.
He was asked by reporters if
Russians are piloting the aircraft

Chinese communist air force.

“People who speak Russian are
flying the MIGs and anybody
who wants to make something of
that can do so.”
