AP chief given journalism honor
Wes Gallagher, general manager of the Associated Press, will receive the 10th Annual National Citation for Journalistic Merit conferred by the William Allen White Foundation.
The presentation of the award will be made at the annual William Allen White Lecture Feb. 10
WES GALLAGHER
—the birthdate of the famed Emporia newspaper editor, who died in 1844.
CONTACTED IN New York City, Gallagher said he was "glad to join his many colleagues who have already been given the honor." He was pleased on behalf of himself and the Associated Press that he had been considered, he said.
Gallagher was selected because he exemplifies the William Allen
White ideals in journalism as well as service to his profession and the world. He has been with the Associated Press since 1937 and general manager since 1962.
He served as a correspondent in 26 foreign countries and was on hand during the invasions of Denmark and Norway during World War II. One of his most memorable experiences was the direction of the AP coverage during the invasion of France in 1944.
HE ALSO OBSERVED the German infiltration which resulted in the invasion of Yugoslavia and Greece, then later returned to England to become chief of AP war correspondents covering the invasion of Europe.
After the war, Gallagher was chief of the bureau in Germany, during which time he covered the Nuremberg war trials, the Berlin blockade and the gradual recovery of Western Germany to its present status.
In 1951 he was recalled to the United States and appointed general executive in charge of personnel. Two years later he took over as director of AP Newfeatures, and later became an assistant general manager.
Gallagher is the author of a book on World War II, "Back Door to Berlin."
The 75-member White Foundation Board of Trustees will hold its annual meeting and luncheon prior to Gallagher's lecture. Established in 1944, the foundation sponsors services and programs which contribute to the journalism profession and the KU School of Journalism. Warren K. Agee, dean of the school, is the foundation director.
KU geologists discover copper in four counties
By BETSY WRIGHT
A KU geological team has announced a major discovery which may bring a sigh of relief from shortage-plagued world copper consumers.
Dr. Frank C. Foley, state geologist and director of the Kansas Geological Survey at KU, announced today that copper bearing minerals in concentration which could be commercial, have
Find may aid shortage
Industry and government alike may rejoice at the Kansas Geological Survey's recent copper discovery.
Copper, which has never suffered from over-abundance,has, in the past couple of years, reached something of a crisis stage in scarcity.The great mines of Chile suffer from strike difficulties, and the large producers in Africa are often victims of political disturbances.
THE MAIN CAUSE of shortage in the United States has been the war in Vietnam. There copper is crucial in the making of cartridge shells, hospital equipment, jets, trucks and just about every warfare necessity.
As a result, the government is using more and more of the copper which would normally be allotted to industry, thus creating a squeeze for manufacturers. Today the U.S. is using well over six per cent of the country's annual 1.4 million ton copper production.
In an attempt to ward off inflationary prices caused by the shortage, the government released 200,000 tons of copper from its stockpiles early in 1965. On Dec. 2, 1966, President Johnson announced the release of another 150,000 tons for defense purposes. These actions cut the remaining stockpile to 259,000 tons, well below the 775,000 recommended for national defense.
In addition, the government placed strict limitations on copper products exported from the U.S., thus bringing world-wide cries that it was fostering the world copper shortage.
BUT THE U.S. had its own problems. In 1965, in spite of increased copper production, the U.S. imported 600,000 tons of the metal.
Plastics are now being used in cartridge shells and aluminum is being substituted for copper in electrical devices. But the uses and needs for copper are still rapidly rising all over the world, and it appears that discoveries of new copper stores will be the only answer to the problem.
been discovered in south central Kansas.
"A SYSTEMATIC mineral search begun last summer found copper deposits in parts of Sedgwick, Sumner, Harper and Kingman Counties," Dr. Foley said.
Because areal extent of the deposits has not yet been determined, predictions on the quantity of reserves are not yet available. Possibilities for mining and processing have not been assessed either.
Studies of minerals appearing at the surface, however, indicate that the supply may be healthy and wealthy.
"ANALYSES FROM more than 450 outter sample from this area showed concentration ranging from 0.8 per cent to 5 per cent, and the richest sample reads 6.0 per cent." Fotey said.
Two- and three-man field teams have been at work on the mineral project since September. The finding came as part of a systematic search for certain scarce minerals in the U.S. today. Several of these are frequently found together and formations suggesting them appear in Kansas.
Today's announcement was made following the discovery that several commercial interests are apparently already aware of the investigation.
Dr. Foley said that X-ray fluorescence spectography was used by the Survey for analysis of the findings—one of the first implementations of the technique in Kansas mineral exploration.
Plans for the investigation began in the Survey's Geochemistry Section early last summer, under the direction of Dr. Ernest E. Angino, section chief.

What's it like to be a tugboat captain?
A tugboat is known officially as a "traffic control station." There are five of them. One is at the east end of the campus in front of the Kansas Union. Another is on 14th Street, on

"scholarship hall row." One is behind Green Hall. Another is down the hill from Watson Library. The fifth and busiest is located at the west end of the campus by the Chi Omega fountain.
The deck of the boat is made of cement, raised at either end to prevent the structure from being struck by a car, should one go out of control and attempt to ram the boat.
The end of the Chi Omega station facing the traffic coming onto the campus is a desk. In this desk are short-term and visitor passes to get on the campus. Also, pamphlets with information and a map of the campus. Stuck on one of the lower shelves of the desk on the right side is a

copy of an old Reader's Digest, and a novel entitled Air Surgeon.
HUNG AT THE END of the station opposite the desk is a calendar. On the floor under the calendar is a fan, a small portable electric heater, a broom and a dustpan, and a wastebasket.
A built-in heating system is also incorporated in the booth.
Usually, he gets to the tugboat about 2:45. That way, the man on the day shift can gather up his personal things and leave on time.
Currently working in the Chi Omega booth is George Schumock. He is married, and the father of a 17-month-old girl. He works the 3 to 11 p.m. shift.
THERE IS A LARGE amount of glass in a tugboat. As often as necessary, this glass must be cleaned.
"It would take about a half an hour to clean the windows inside and out if a guy could do it all in one stretch," Schumock said, "but it takes a lot longer when the cars are coming through."
And cars do come through. An average day will see about 700 vehicles enter the west end of the campus. Of this number, 350-400 are com-
