War on Haworth Promised Resignation Over shale gold claim
Kansas university chemist Erasmus Haworth faces pressure from Del Close and Prof Charles H Gage and allies as they threaten to seek his resignation at the Kansas board of regents meeting in November. They accuse Haworth of blocking shale gold results in the Trego deposit and cite a letter offering his resignation if gold is ever produced. Close and associates warn rivals and billionaires may profit, while Haworth defends his tests showing traces of gold from furnace walls rather than shale.
