Kansas Mineral Production Is Up $14 Million In 1955
During 1955 almost $475 million in raw minerals were taken from the Kansas earth.
The amount was not only an all-time annual record, but also climaxes, for the first time in Kansas history, six consecutive years of increases in mineral production, said the State Geological Survey.
The total is about $14 million more than that of 1954. It is $70 million more than for 1951, the year the state slipped into the $400 million-a-year bracket, and close to $400 million more than 20 years ago.
Oil and gas, as in years past, were highest, totaling an estimated $401 million during 1955, or about 85 percent of the year's total for all minerals.
Coal, which generally made a better showing nationally in 1955 than in 1954, was the only back-sliding mineral of the year in Kansas. The Kansas coal output for 1955, estimated at $3 million, was about $2<sup>1</sup>½ million under that of 1954.
Zinc and lead production, the mining of which has been on the decline in recent years, showed encouraging increases. The estimated value of zinc mined during 1955 was $8.5 million and lead, $1.5 million.
"The Geological Survey estimates tend to emphasize the growing importance of mineral production in the Kansas economy—an importance comparable to agriculture in many of its aspects." Dr. Frank C. Foley, director of the Geological Survey, said.

Allen Threatened With Libel
Dr. Allen's original criticism of the AAU and Col. Henshlau came Dec. 29 in Kansas City. Dr. Allen criticized the AAU and claimed that it was using Wes Santee, former Kansas miler as "a whipping boy," while it ignored other transgressions of rules in amateur colleges;
He called AAU officials "quadrenal hitchhikers" who went overseas every four years on the public's tour of Iraq. He told Hensel is a "permanent hitchhiker."
It was at that time that Dr. Allen made his now famous reference to Col. Henshel as "probably a colonel in a Brooklyn hand."
In the cable Col. Henshel also said he plans to hold Allen responsible for a "libelous reference to my military career."
"Defense Department records will show that I was awarded a Bronze Star combat medal in 1945."

Cold Greeting
