Show Geneva Steel Seeks to L Lure Industry West i SAN FRANCISCO In a move to help attract new industries to the western states and to promote general economic progress. Division of United States Steel has recently published a new booklet entitled. Steel For Western Industry. It is being widely distributed in response to requests from Chambers of Commerce and other business associations for information about the industrial growunabated post-wa- r th in the West and manufacturing opportunities that abound here. Primarily, the publication is directed to industries that manufacture steel products. It says, in SHOW LOW AUTO PARTS And EQUIPMENT CO. Complete Line of Automotive & Sawmill Supplies Box 306 Phone 35 Show Low, Ariz. part: To the steel-usin- g industries of America, the West spells opportunity in terms that are solidly based on two primary essentials of a manufacturing enterprise materials and markets. It points out that in little more than a decade, the West has come to offer both of these requirements on an abundant scale, and that because of this, manufacturers of steel products have been increasing rapidly in number and importance here. Hand in hand with the great industrial and population growth that has been taking place in the West, its steel production has risen to the level of a major industry, it states. A former dependence upon steel from other areas is being supplanted more and more by the t, and a high Wests own has aldegree of been attained. ready U. S. Steels investment of hundreds of millions of dollars in modern facilities and Columbia-Gene-va- s position as the largest supplier of steel in the 11 western states are pointed out, and a comprehensive digest of the Divisions products and services is presented with pictorial treatment. A review of western market growth in the booklet says that, Among the many indicators on western opportunity, probably the most significant for metalworking industries is the fact that about 2.500.000 tons of products employing steel in their manufacture still are being shipped into the western states each year from the East and Midwest more than 1,500,000 tons of motor veh!cles and parts; 200.000 tons of machinery and parts; 100,000 tons of agricultural equipment; 250,000 tons of various other products. It is a reasonable assumption that, with an adequate supply of steel now available, plus freight differentials and other savings, more of these products could be manufactured in the West, at a satisfactory profit. Various instances could be cited but a typical one is that of motor vehicle parts for assembly plants and replacements. The West annually imports 1,000,000 tons of parts and fabricates in its own area only 30,000 to 40,000 tons. WINDOW ROCK, In Arizona, which draws tourists from all over the nation.

Today, the yellow dirt uranium ore is widely sought. n Helicopters Aid Uranium Seekers The manufacture of small two- man helicopters for the uranium exploration market on the Colorado Plateau is being planned by Airsearch, Inc., of Salt Lake City. A company official said offers already have been received from three uranium firms to purchase the helicopters, designed to sell for less than $10,000. Deserf View Lodge GRANTS, N.

In return, the Indians are receiving fair pay, as determine by their own tribal council and government officials, for '.heir ores. Thus, new wealth is pouring into the coftrs of the people white pioneers once pushed aside to exploit their lands.

As described elsewhere in this Energy Edition, numerous Indians are being employed directly in the uranium industry. Several are working at the new processing plant at Shiprock, and Anaconda plans to use several when the new plant it is building is completed this year. Aside from the job opportunities, it has been estimated that Indians of New Mexico, southern Colorado and Arizona will eventually receive as much .as $50 million dollars from uranium operations on their reservations. So, for the first time in recorded history, these particular Indians will have money for schools, homes, industries, churches, towns, recreation, luxury, that has never before been available to them. Some tribal councils are working out formulas whereby each member of the tribe receiving uranium money will be credited with his or her equal share, some will be invested in government bonds and tribal savings accounts. Revolving credit funds are scheduled to be established and may already be in operation, enabling Indian youths to borrow to finance their education in colleges, families will be able to borrow to improve their homes or to buy property off the reservation, and needy minors will be able to draw from these revolving funds. Per capita payment, which has yet to receive approval of the councils, may be about 10 or 15 per cent of the funds received. But that day seems to be a long way in the future. To better their reservations, long-ranerosion control and prevention projects are planned, thus assuring fertile soil for future generations to till. Many other tribal council plans are for betterment of the full reservation population.
