BRITAIN NEGOTIATES FOR URANIUM ORE FROM BELGIAN CONGO
LONDON, August 1 (Rec. 11 a.m.). —The United Press Brussels correspondent says that Britain has asked for at least one-quarter of Belgian Congo’s uranium ore production, which since the end of the war has been exclusively reserved for American atomic plants under an agreement which, it is learned, expires today. Congo’s uranium ore production figures are a top secret but unofficial estimates put the annual output at 12,000 tons. . . An official of the Belgian Mining Union declined to say whether Belgium was willing to conclude a new agreement. Negotiations were continuing, he said, adding that Britain obviously had something to say in the matter. ■
