SATURDAY, AUGUST 14, 1948 THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE PAGE NINE: Sby Probe Moves To Hospital Room Of Russian Teacher Huge Titanium Deposit US. Nips Efforts , C Of Soviet Consul To 'Rescue' Woman By William F. Arbegast Washington, Aug. 14 (AP)--The United States congres- sional spy probe shifted today to the New York bedside of a Russian teacher who jumped from a third-floor window to escape "rescuers" in the Soviet Consulate. Armed with a subpoena, Robert E. Stripling, chief inves- tigator for the House of Representatives Un-American Activi- ties Committee, went by midnight train to New York. There he planned to pin a "property of United States Congress" -- in the words of Representative Karl Mundt (R-SD)--on Mrs. Oksana Stepanovna Kosenkina. The 52-year-old Russian teacher® is in hospital recovering from in- juries received in her spectacular liberty leap Thursday. To back up Mrs. Kosenkina's wish to remain free of Soviet custody, the house committee decided Friday night to put her on its own custody with a subpoena which, committee members said, makes her legally the war of the committee until she is released. To give her further protection, Mundt said, the committee is ask- ing the immigration bureau not to cancel any visa that might be out- standing. Without such a visa, Mrs. Kosen- kina cannot legally leave the coun- ry. The committee's action coincided with a State Department promise of asylum in the United States for Mrs. Kosenkina and another Rus- sian teacher, 1%ichael Ivanovitch Samarine, also under committée subpoena. Samarine already has testified before the committee. But members said he gave little information "pertinent" to its probe of a war- time Communist spy ring alleged to have wormed its way into official Washington circles. Samarine said he and his wife would be shot or interned for life Author of Article Final Authority An unknown chemical, NaCI, was mentioned yesterday evening in an article by R. D. Christie for the Canadian Pharmaceutical Journal. Curious as to the na- ture of this mysterious chemical, The Times-Gazette telephoned Jury & Lovell to ask for a de- scription of the material. The druggist who answered, informed us that the correct symbol was NaCl salt. He should know; he was R. D. Christie. if they went back to Russia. The committee took a week-end breather to prepare for several more sessions next week.

FATALLY INJURED Bracebridge, Aug, 14 -- (CP) Charles Hetherington of Bracebridge was killed here tonight when a dai- ry truck in which he was riding was struck by a passenger train, Truck driver Carl Ball, also from Brace- bridge, escaped unhurt. - Discovered in Quebec Said World's Largest Quebec, Aug. 14--(CP)--A great industrial future was forecasted for Quebec today following the an- nounced discovery in Eastern Que- bec of what may prove to be the world's largest deposit of Titanium ore. Premier Duplessis, at a press con- ference Friday, announced the tit- anium discovery near Lake Allard, 400 miles north east of Quebec City and disclosed plans for a $25,000,- 000 project to develop it. A government mine authority in Ottawa Friday night confirmed the discovery and said it would have a tremendous influence on Canada's mineral future. At the same meeting, the Premier also announced plans for construc- tion of a $2,000,000 power dam 90 miles up the Ottawa River from Ot- tawa The deposits, the Premier said, were controlled by Kennco Explor- ation Limited, a subsidiary of the American-owned Kennecott Copper Corporation. Operating under a li- cence from the Quebec government, the company will build a 27-mile railway from the north shore of the Gulf of St. Lawrence into the min- eral area. The discovery was announced at a time when other exploration com- panies are seeking the limits if iron ore deposits farther north. In setting $25,000,000 as imme- diate costs for development, Pre- mier Duplessis estimated cost of the railroad at $10,000,000. He said'the company also will buill a refinery at Sorel, Que, to treat the ore electrolytically at a cost estimated between $12,000,000 and $15,000,000. Total expenditure in developing the deposit would run into a figure six times the first outlay, or rough- ly $150,000,000, he said. The pro- ject will eventually require a mini- mum of 500,000 electrical horse- power. Company officials predicted the deposits wolud eventually break the | monopoly India holds on the min- eral. thus making it nc longer ne- cessary to import annually $4,000,- 000 worth of the mineral from that country In The officials, in calling 1t "the world's largest deposits of the ore, report millions of tens of titanium of commercial qauntity in that re- gion. Besides being used in paint, the Premier said, titanium can be mix- ed with other elements to produce a metal as strong aas high grade steel. The deposits, he said, were found in Tetu County, on the shores of Tio Lake, one of the many small lakes which encircle Lake Allard, 27 miles from Havre St. Pierre on the north shore of the Gulf of St. Lawrence. Ottawa, Aug. 14--(CP)--A gOvV- ernment mines authority Thursday night confirmed that possibly the world's greatest deposit of titanium ore has been located in the Lake Allard district, 400 miles northeast of Quebec City The authority said the discovery --announced Friday by Premier Maurice Duplessis--would have a tremendous influence on Can- ada's mineral future and ranked it in the same class "as the discovery of gold." He said titanium metal, used principally in the manufacture of pigments for paints, had "many unknowngqualities' * which may lead to its use in other fields. Its discovery in Canada will no longer make .it necessary for the dominion to import some $4,000,000 VIPUL WOIJ [BIUIW AY} JO YOM each year. The discovery first was made, said the spokesman, by a group of Canadian Engineers looking for copper in 1946. The government mines bureau in Ottawa asisted in tests of the ore and found it of high mineral content. Investiga- tion was continued over the last two years. He confirmed that Kennco Ex- ploration Limited, a subsidiary of the American-ownad Kennecott Copper Corporation, had .control of the deposits and wer? proceeding in its development "The company expects to break ground early next spring," said the authority, and added: "Biggest drawbavk, of course, is a require { ment of some $30,000,000 to build the necessary plants and purchase ' equipment." ' The spokesman did not believe the government would assist in the development jof the deposit . other than thro allowing the use of mines buredu equipment at Ottawa.
