Oklahoma'* ailing cool indus-
try may get a terrific shot in
the arm with completion of the
multi • billoin - dollar Arkan-
sas River navigation project
that is scheduled to bring barge
traffic to the Tulsa area from
the Mississippi River by 1970
Lower rates for barge trans-
portation are expected to open
new markets and pep up coal
production in eastern Oklahoma
that has sagged from a high of
4 S million tons valued at <23 3
million in 1920 to just over 1
million tons valued at 95 5 mil-
lion in 1964.
Authorities blame the decline,
in large part, on freight costs
that are such that one company
has found it profitable to truck
its coal to Kansas to take ad-
vantage of lower rail rates.
Should Start Perking
‘With the coming of barge
transportation the industry
should start perking up and
there could be a spurt by 1975,"
R S Sanford of Bartlesville,
area director of the U. S Bu-
reau of Mines, said. "By 1980 j
we might be back to the peak
that we were at in 1920 .”
Sanford said present produc-
tion is centered in Craig, Has-
kell. LeFlore. Muskogee, Ok-
mulgee. and Rogers counties.
The largest of the state s mines
stall in operation is the Garland
strip mine eight miles northeast
of Stigler. Some 40 men work
the mine that produces about
250.000 tons of coal each year.
Sanford estimated Oklahoma
contains 3 25 billion tons of bi-
tuminous coal that is "relative-
ly minor” in volume but the
quality of much of it "com-
mands a premium price.”
He said there are 700 million
tons of low • vilatile bituminous
metallurgical coal that is made
into coke for use in the steel
industry.
Rare Quality
"There are only a few places
in the U S where they produce
coal of this quality,” Sanford
said
While freight rates have "cut
us out of some of our western

Space Shot 'Still Go' For
US Astronauts Tuesday
CAPE KENNEDY (UPD —A
questioned hatch cover on the
Gemini 8 spaceship proved to
be “just no problem” at all
Saturday and project officials
chorused a unanimous “go” for
a Tuesday blastoff on the
ambitious, three-day flight.
The two astronauts who will
ride the Gemini capsule into
the heavens, civilian Neil
Armstrong. 35, and 33-year-old
Air Force Maj. David R. Scott,
personally examined the space-
craft Saturday when a ground
crewman reported the hatch
was hard to work.
But Scott, the man who will
have to open the hatch when he
climbs out for a record two
hour and 10 minute "space-
walk.” opened and closed the
cover without difficulty while
the capsule sat poised in the
sterile "white room” atop the
service tower of the Titan-2
booster.
"It's just no problem. The
astronauts are satisfied.” a
spokesman for the national
space agency said.
Astronauts Ed White and
James McDivit had some
trouble latching their Gemini 4
hatch after White took Ameri-
can's first space walk last
June. To keep the spacecraft
cabin airtight, the hatch must
be closed over a rubber seal
rimming the opening
In addition to Scott’s record markets” he said, the advan-
spacewalk, the Gemini 8 flight ta8es °f bar?e transportation
also will feature a historic >“v* awakened interest in Ok-
linkup oi two orbiting satellites lahwna's undeveloped coal re-
—Gemini and an Atlas-Agena
vehicle that will orbit ahead of
Gemini.
Perfection of the hookup
technique is a vital step in
America's
sources.

of the Gemini program.
For the sake of pratice a
total of four linkups will be
tried, the first one about 54
hours after Gemini lifts off.
Project officials met Satur-
day for their last major review
of the mission.
"Everybody is happy. The
word is go,” a spokesman
reported.
Weather forecasters did their
I part by predicting balmy
I weather for the liftoff and
"quite acceptable" weather
! conditions in the Gemini
splashdown areas.
The Atlas-Agena rendezvous

at 10 a m. EST, with Gemini

studies are in progress to bring
one of the deposits into pro-
duction at an early date,” a
Kerr • McGee spokesman said.
Sanford added that some Ok-
lahoma coal was recently sent
to Japan for use in the Japan
ese steel industry. The coal
was well received but the
freight coat to the west coast
was not satisfactory.
Studied With Interest
Sanford said since that time,
however, the Japanese steel
company has studied the Arkan-
sas River navigation project
with interest.
"We can look forward, with
considerable degree of confi-
dence." Sanford said, "to a
rather sizeable market for Ar-
kansas a nd Oklahoma coal
shipped down the Arkansas and
Mississippi rivers to New Or-
leans and then by steamship to
Japan ”
A coal company official. E S
Stephen*, head of Fort Smith,
Arkansas' Garland Coal and
mining, sa i d he expects a
“great steel center" to develop
in Houston.
"Within the next few years
prospects will develop very
fast." he said "Houston could
serve as an outlet for coal from
this area.
"River navigation will pro-
duce comparable rates with
other areas." Stephens added
"This would Increase our op-
nortunity for exporting coal that
is going to eastern coal fields "
