ABUREAU OF MINES SUB-STATION FOR U.N. D. IS SOUGHT PWA Is Asked for $200,000 Fund to Construct Pilot Plant in Slope City ‘Washington, Oct. 23—(#)—The of- fice of Senator Frazier (Rep. N. D.) said Tuesday the public works adminis- ration had been asked to allocate’ $200,000 to the bureau of mines to establish a sub-station at North Da- kota university, Grand Forks. ‘The request would supplement a previous application of the bureau of public mines for allotment of $200,- 000 to construct a pilot plant in some western city in the lignite coal field } to experiment with new uses for lig- f nite coal. This request was rejected when Secretary Ickes of the PWA ruled his organization would not ap- propriate funds for operation of such @ plant. Ickes said his authority ex- tended only to providing money for construction. ‘The original request was made by the bureau after O. 8. Bowman, pres- ident of an experimental laboratory ‘at Colorado Springs, Colo., presented $a process invented by him designed not only to utilize the by-products) of lignite and sub-bituminous coal but also to make more economical use of the fuel’s heating qualities. Frazier’s office said the University of North Dakota, through President John West, had made a formal re- quest to John W. Finch, director of the bureau of mines, for a branch of the bureau where research engineers ; from the universities of the lignite states could conveniently cooperate with the bureau in the solution of the ‘% common problems to the proper util- ° tation of those vast lignite coal re- serves,” May Start This Fall Frazier, it was said, is hopeful of PWA approval in time to get work started on the plant this fall. Con- gress would then be asked to appro- priate funds for operation. The bureau was authorized by an act passed in 1915 to establish up to 10 such stations, according to Frazier's office. To date only eight have been established and there is none in any of the states where lignite coal abounds, it was said. Frasier told mining officials that one-fourth of the world’s coal re- serves, consisting of the lignite and sub-bituminous are located in one- eighth of the area of the United States. He listed North and South Dakota, Montana, Wyoming, Colorado, Idaho, Utah, Oregon, Washington, New Mexico and Texas as the lead- ing lignite and sub-bituminous states. “The difficulties incident to the util- ization of the lignites, either as do- mestic or power-plant fuel, due to certain peculiarities, have retarded the industrial and economic development of those sections,” he said. “The Dakotas and other lignite states import hundreds of thousands of tons of eastern anthracite and mid- western~bituminous coals annually at Prices ranging from $12 to $20 a ton and are paying up to 18 cents per kilowatt for electriaity. “These facts would justify the es- tablishment of a western division of the bureau of mines.” TOWNLEY PETITIONS CALLED FRAUDULENT Two Republicans Named With Him in $100,000 Libel Suit Filed in Hennepin Minneapolis, Oct. 23—(P)—A.

Thompson, chief of the eight defense lawyers, In- sull’s answer to the charges will be made public in writing. Possibly be- fore the long hearing ends. Ketting said the 74-year-old utility man had finished the memoirs he began when he was returned from Europe last summer to stand trial. “He says in them that he doesn’t know what these charges are all about,” said Ketting, a heavy-set young man who combines the jobs of secretary, bodyguard and press agent. “They will be published in a maga- zine, probably around the first of the ear.” More government accountants took the stand Tuesday in the mail fraud case before Judge Wilkerson, offering testimony intended to show that In- ‘sull’s Corporation Securities Co. was insolvent during part of the time its stock was offered to investors as a “good thing.” Prosecution Continues Prosecutor Leslie E.

Sparks told the court he would like to start the trial on that to count this stock at market quota- tions when computing assets. The two companies had the same management, said R. P. Baldwin, agent of the department of justice, who had worked on the books since October of 1932. A. E. Sweeney, second of the gov- ernment accountants, gave the jury the government's figures on the liqui- dating value of the Corpoartion Se- curities Company's common stock on some 14 dates. It held stocks of several Irisull com- panies besides that of I. U. I. Had it reckoned its I. U. I. stock at “‘liqui- dating value” for that stock, accord- ing to Sweeney, the value of its own common stock would have been shown as “minus $2.96” on June 30, 1931, and @ condition of insolvency from that date on. “Corp common” was quoted on that market on June 30, 1931, at $16 a share, a chart showing the difference between market quotations and what the government claims was the liqui- dating value was hung before the jury. The point was regarded as impor- tant to the government's case, since it hinges on another of the prosecutors’ claims—that stock in I. U. I., was kept at desirable market prices by stock market “rigging.” A secret society at Bougainville, in| the South Seas, places a curious hat| on the head of each male infant.

He is free on $25,000 bond and has indicated he will resist removal.
