Uranium Galore Means Riches In Abundance

FROM M. KING WOOD

Sydney, June 25.

If uranium is really going to be the coal and oil of the future, then it looks as if we have some- thing. Scarcely a month has passed in the last two years without an announcement of a new find, and Rum Jungle, in the Northern Territory, is still the richest known deposit in the world.

This week came word of three more finds- one in New South Wales, one in Queensland, and the other in South Australia.

The Premier of South Australia, Mr Playford, telling of the new find in that State, said that ex- perimental drilling since March had disclosed that the field, spread over 500 square miles, shows pro- mise of many millions of tons of uranium ore.

Appellant Wong Yam who was sentenced by the Victoria District Court Judge to six months for possession of opium dross and raw opium told the Court he was remanded for 48 days before he came on trial. He asked that his sentence date from the day of arrest. His appeal was allowed.
