The artis now propose to use this argument as the fulcrunn for 8 flank attack on Roosevelt. At the conclusion of the hearings be- fore the senate judiciary commit- tee,. their plan is to issue 3 state nent to this effect: tah
 "Y0u say the Court needs younger men with more liberal
 views. All right, tell the Con
 gress and the country who these six young and liberal men are.
 We have . right to know wbo
 you plan to put on the Court 70
 t,lat we can more fairly judge
 the eoundness and reasonable I ness of your proposal and in- tentions."
 A demand of this Kind, if made with sufficient vigor and in- pressiveness, might prove ex- tremely embarrassing to Roose- welt. l..''f e. i.
 Interest in the identity of the possible six new men is second only to conjecture over the outcome of the battle on the Presidents bill. It is unlikely that Roosevelt would reveal whom he intends to appoint, but his foes could give him some hot moments by de- llanding it. tti.l Idealism Pays

 Large streams oppose a definite obstacle to pipeline running, and selection of crossing sites in ad- vance eliminates costly re-routing of lines. Hills and eroded areas present the same problems.
 Many companies use the maps for location of buildings oa leases. If property Is not completely drilled up, the maps occasionally indicate where other locations may best be made, particularly in wooded or hilly country.

TOM CIRDLER IS
 GIVEN THE LAUGH

New oYrk, Aug. 6. (UP)-Tom Girdler, chairman of the Republic Steel Corporation, is "whistling in the dark to keep up his courage, , John Brophy, executive director of the Committee for Industrial Or- ganization, said today.
 Brophy answered an assertion by Girdler that John L. Lewis, CIO chief, was lon the down grade, be- cause he did not give the workers the type of responsible leadership they wanted"
 After an address to the national convention of the American Radio Telegraphists association last night, Brophy said:
 "Girdler's tall talk about the CIO slipping is just like a boy whistling in the dark to keep up his courage. Steel is organized 75 per cent and covered by collective bar gaining agreements.
 The same is true in automobile manufacturing and a number of other industries where non-union- Is mruled before the CIO came In and organized its drives. This is no evidence of slipping. it issa reInask- able record of achievement"

 The American Civil Liberties Union, in issuing the figures, stated that the prejudice aroused againSt organized labor based on alleged acts of violence is largely without foundation. The record Is plain that the vastly greater violence Is against strikers, not by them.
 "The Civil Liberties Union does not take sides In the industrial struggle. It acts against violence by organized labor on precisely the same basis as violence by It's oppo- nents. It defends tho right to work as well as the right to strike. Both rights can DC protected without vio- lence. Public officials aiding one side as against the other violate their public function.
 Liberties Maintained

 No movement Is more menaeing to American liberties than the ten- dency now to magnify violence ey strikers in the face Of this record and through 1t to justify resort to vigilantism.

 Tulsa, Aug. 4-(UP)-Aerial pho. tography mapping is one of the pe' troleum industrys newest and most important developments in speed. ing field work, locating new wells and planning pipeline routes.
 Aerial maps are made Of compo- site groups of pictures taken from planes flying at approximately l5,- GOO feet at a speed of approxim- ately l40 miles an hour. Varying the height and setting of the map ping camera makes possible maps with scale of three inches to the mile.
 An automatic camera is loaded with a 2 l-2 by lo-inch roll of l2O films. Pictures are taken every 20 seconds, providing an overlap" of 50 per cent which insures in- clusion of all points within the area to be mapped.
 A special display at the Inter- national Petroleum Exposition in Tulsa next May IA to 2l will show how the photographs and surveys are made, together with the value of them in speeding ground work by accurately locating salt domes and other geophysical structures.
 Technical Value Stressed
 Aerial pictures are of broad tech- nical value to both the geological and geophysical departments of oil companies. If the area is to be surveyed by use of seismograph, torsion- balance. gravimeter or magnetometer meahods, the appli- cation of controller photographic maps is much the same.
 Technicians study the maps which record every feature of the land upon which work will be car- ried on. In his office the geophy- sics head can plan his field oper- ations, outline his work thorough ly before his crew goes into action.
