Fears Uranium Hunt CASPER Wyo (UP) — Gov Milward Simpson today will telephone Secretary of the Interior McKay to appeal for delay the May 3 opening of 65000 acres of land east of Kaycee in the Pump- kin Buttes area to uranium claims in order to avoid possible violence It was pointed out that 35 per cent of the area was deeded land and 65 per cent grazing land all of which has been leased to ranchers but subject to withdrawal Among the problems to be resolved is the misunderstanding between ranchers and prospectors ' regarding their rights A delay would give more time to find out which has the preferred rights “We hope that the Interior Department will agree to the delay and that we can resolve these troublesome questions without any trouble I have alerted the National Guard and the sheriffs in the counties but hope it will not be necessary for them to act It may be possible that ports of entry may have to be opened” Gov Simpson said INDEX - a r V t surgeon general notified |
