+++ + +.
Eighteen years after the dropping of the first atomic bomb on
Hiroshima, a partial nuclear test
ban was signed in MOSCOW by
representatives of the U.S., Britain, and the Soviet Union in an
atmosphere described as "festive"
by observers. Many other countries are expected to sign the pact,
but two prospective nuclear
powers, France and Communist
China, will not.
++ +++
In PARIS, President de Gaulle
said that the new treaty has not
removed the “atomic menace”
fromthe world, He asked for the
limitation of the delivery systems that carry nuclear weapons
and said he would call a conference of world leaders this year to
discuss the matter.
+++ ++
The PEKING government called
the treaty a “dirty fraud" and proposed instead a world conference
ro restrict nuclear weapons. The
Soviet government then published
in all Moscow newspapers a 5,000
word statement denouncing
Chinese opposition to the treaty.
++ +++
In WASHINGTON Senator Kenneth Keating, (R., N.Y.) predicted that the test-ban treaty
would be ratified by the Senate
with only a “handful of votes”
cast against it.

USFS Plans
Exchange..
Of Land
A land exchange designed to
increase recreational facilities as
well as provide for additional land
for subdivisions, was announced
this week by George Steed, Truckee district ranger on the Tahoe
National Forest.
The exchange being negotiated
between the forest service and
Denny Logging Company will
give the forest service 760 acres
in the Blackwood Creek area on
the west side of Lake Tahoe adjoining the*Kaspian Park. This
will salvage a potential recrea~
tion area. ;
In exchange Denneys will re~
ceive some 1040 acres in the area
be developed and a half section of
land just south of Truckee.
The saw mill now operating in
Blackwood will be moved to

man of the Senate Minerals,
Materials and Fuels Subcommittee, Representative Johnson urged
full support of Senator Gruening's
companion billtothat authorized
in the House of Representatives by
Congressman Johnson.
The California Congressman
traced the history and development of gold mining in California, pointing out that in 1852,
more than $81 million worth of
gold was produced in the Golden
State alone. This was more than
60 percent of the world's production of gold.
“California has been the source
of nearly 106 million ounces of
gold valued at approximately $2,
415,000,000," Congressman
Johnson said, “This total represents about 35 percent of the total
U.S. production. But today,
California's gold production is
diminishing steadily andis a shadow of what it once was, with
only a single major producer
operative in the, state.
“The same picture is true nationally and today this nation
finds itself dependent upon imports from foreign nations for its
gold supplies," Congressman
Johnson wamed.
Pointing out that the Soviet
Union and the Union of South
Africa are the world's leading
producers of gold, Congressman
Johnson warned of the day when

A California Highway Patrol
officer apprehended the boys in
Imperial County, only a few
