LUKE It always worries me when a good friend, who is not an established writer, says: "I've written a book. Will you review it?" If it's a busy book and you say so, there goes your friendship. If it's a lousy book and you don't say so, there goes your .self-respe- So when Raymond W. Taylor of Provo asked me to review No Talk "Uranium Fever-- Or, valuable data) and for the rest of it I found myself reluctant to lay it down at night, and eager to resume it as soon as possible. Which is the test of any book for any reader. Last Big Rush And "Uranium Fever" is an excellent treatise on the bin uranium rush of the early 19S0s-per- haps the last the nation may ever see where a penniless prospector could become a millionaire. Charlie Steen and Vernon Pick were the prime examples, but there were others not so famous who ended up wealthy. And then there were all those other uranium millionaires, of which Raymond Taylor was one. Claims and holdings worth potential millions, but all on paper. And for most of them, including Raymond, it never got beyond the paper stage. Raymond was in it up to his eyes, and the limit of his pocketbook. He was within an eyelash of making it, when the Atomic Energy Commission pulled the rug out from under him and everyone like him by just halting its purchases of uranium. Personal Story "Uranium Fever" is Ray's personal story, but it's mere than that He and Sam have done a fantastic job of research on the rush itself, and on the individuals, both big and little, who were part of it. His chapters on Charlie Steen, Vernon Pick and the others who made it big, Under $1 Million," I was worried. Especially when he told me that his brother, Samuel W. Taylor, who appears as coauthor, had only written one chapter, and he, Raymond, had written the rest. Sam may probably be the most successful native Utah writer, from the practical standpoint of dollars and cents sales, that the state ever produced. But I didnt know about Raymond, and since he'd written most of it, I was worried. Top Publisher I needn't have been. To begin with, the fact that MacMiilan-o- ne of the nation's top publishers is putting it out in hardcover, should have told me something. MacMillan doesnt take a book unless they think it's pretty good. And "Uranium Fever" is a good book. To me it was a fascinating book. In a few places where the technical history of and uranium uranium production was being treated it seemed more like a textbook and was a bit ponderous. But those spots were few (although are revealing, intimate and undoubtedly containing some thorough. His stories about himself and all the others who didnt make it are equally fascinating. " The chapter Sam wrote deals with the bureaucratic arrogance of the Atomic Energy Commission, the "AEC", and how it ran the uruiium boom. In Sam's chapter, it comes off with something less than a halo. You gather that Raymond didn't like the AEC either. In fact, no one seemed to like it, except the big companies who ended up with preferential treatment. a The book covers period of fcc 9 Attorney 5 -- - cLandscapmgGMakesAc For Galley distinctive difference Criticizes Press SALT LAKE CITY (UPI)-T- he nearly 15 years, dealing with the rush itself, and its aftermath. civilian attorney for Lt.
