OlmMNITZ. Germany, July ze_ (AP) - The Russians are flying pltchblende. a source of uran'um Ind radium. into the Soviet Union from a “forbidden area” m Saxony. It is being mmod by tens of thou- sands of German men and women.

The piichblende area around Annaberg and Bad-Obtrschlema in 1M dist-rifle 0f Schneeberg and Schwerzenberi. once a popular vacation and spa centre in the Erz (ore) Mountains. has been effect. lveiy sealed off by the Soviet mil- iviery administration. It contains the only known large deposit of uranium in Europe. say; Dr. Wel- ter- Lutz, German geophyslcist.

A Russian military cordon has been thrown around the area. which measures some l2 miles across. Scntriee and barriers pre- vent normal traffic i-nlo or out of the forbidden region.

The inhabitants of the zone may not leave. Outsiders may not en- ter without ploper credentials.

Russian engineers. gqilogiata and. mini-rig specialists are on hand to superintend the work. To ex- ploit the mines to the extreme. the Russians have directed that the old mine dumps must be reworked to salvage the uranium-containing pitchbiende.

The Russians are keeping secret the total number of workers. as well as the daily yield.

However. the Leipzig labor of- fice ls supposed to have drafted approximately 86.000 workers for the mines. Many f them. partic- ularly salesmen. of ce workers and others unused to heavy work. BIB considering flight to "i0 W99! '0

British Newspapers Reduce Size Today

LONDON, July 20 --(CP) -Brit- ish newspaper-g will reqvlce their size and staffs beginning tomorrow as the result of s Government-or- dered cut in newsprint imports which a large section oi the press interprets as a move to stifle criti- cism of the Labor Government.

Most dailiee now will be. as dur- ing the war, limited to four pages and the circulation of all papers will be "frozen" at last months level. Daily papers during the last few months have been publishing six-page editions every other day.

Sunday newspapers in editorial attacks on the newsprint cut, sought to rouse indignation with such phrases as the observer's "never has this Government shown more blank lnsensltiveness to the arguments of its critics" and the Sunday Dispatch’; "a deliberate effort to stifle criticism of its (the Government's) handling of the nation's affairs."

It said the hope of Sir Stafford Criobl. president o the Board of

Trade. that Comm would allow

Britain to postpone payment and delivery of news-print for six months "ls not confirmed by the Canadian Milnister of Trade and Commerce (Han. J. A. Msckinnon) who warned that unless Britain takes the paper it will regretfully but speedily be disposed of else- where."

The Government stuck to its guns on the ground that. ls Sir Stafford ssid in the House of Colli- mona last week. newsprint econ- omies are necessary to save some 311000.000 during the next year.

In answer to this. ncwspapeie stressed that this Wis only a frac- liovn of the 81.600.000.000 trade de- flcit that Britain faces and sug- gested pointedly that the Govern- ment must have some reason to "vlctimiae" the press alone.

The Sunday Times. Conservative. said what ll. termed the Coven- mlenvs indifference to the needs of the country's free prose "is an- other indication that the Labor Party is losing the democratic faith and fervor on which it rose
