said, ''but they've beaten us SO

Price Must Go Up
Montana operators, operating at
too-low crude prices, feel that
should there be such a thing as
price fixing in the industry that
oil prices are more likely to ad-
vance than to be lowered. Per
sons in touch with administration
circles on Washington have learned
that washington sentiment is that
there is a world war of at least
three years duration now in pro-
gress and that the United States
will inevitably be involved within
a year, meaning that even if this
country does not send troops, 1t
will throw all of its economic re-
sources on the side of the allies.
This situation will surely mean a
tremendous impetus to drilling, to
supply the necessary oil and re-
fined products.
''Under price fixing rules, the
government would never ask opera
tors, and especially shippers, to
produce oil at less than lifting
COSTS" said one Montana operator
this week. "Our prices are on

SEND A CONTRIBUTION
To THE SUNBURST BADGER
Montana oil and mining journal. [volume] (Great Falls, Mont.) 1931-1953, 1939-09-16

The daily average crude produc-
ton in Montana in June, 1889, was
1856 Dbl, and in July, 1889,
16, 492 Dbl.
The proportion of Montana crude
refined in Montana to Montana
crude has averaged about 259o to
759S in the first half of 1889, and
was about the same in the first
half of 1898.
Totaling Montana gasoline con-
sumption with exports, it appears
that the amount of crude required
to supply the natural Montana mar
ket during the month of June to-
tailed approximately $4,000 barrels
per day. Had all of the gasoline
used in Montana and exported from
Montana been made from Montana
crude 1t would have required, as
stated, $4,000 barrels of crude per
day.

YELLOW BALL TO AID FANS,
 SAYS MAKER
New Invention Will Help Those Whose Vision
 Is Not So Good
By GARDNER sOULE
AP Feature Service Sports Editor

AT ft1 uTe SCTNlCc spuitS Cutsoi
 NEW YORK, April 24.-Frederic Rahr is a baseball fan. He is near sighted. He has trouble keeping his eye on the ball So he invented the yellow baseball you read about.
 His bright yellow baseball, he says, will help thousands of fans with poor vision, and thereby help club owners by increasing atten- dance The yellow ball will help bat tors because of it's high visibility. It VIII help fielders and pitchers for the same reason. To hear MT. Rahr, it should be a unanimous choice.
 The yellow spheroid has become an official National league ball this year. Last year some college and pro fessional games were played with it. Results of the games showed no startling amount of hitting, some thing parhaps to be expected from ball of high visibility The box scores were about what you'd expect of good average games.
 MT. Rahr is color engineer. That's why he knows so much about color. There aren't very many color engineers. But one of the first col or experts in the U s. was gent of whom you have heard. His name was Beniamin Franklin.
 He Drew Attention
 When Franklin went to the French court MT. Rahr says. his jcb was to make himself known as the ambassador from the U s. So he wore dirty chestnut brown into a court full of rich brocades, gold, silver. pink, yellow, green and other pale colors. Benjamin was the only man there who did not affect deli cate cclors and lace
 Yellow was selected as the color of the new baseball, because it is the color of hte highest visibility Red baseballs were tested, but did not prove satisfactory.
 MT. Rahr is a Harvard man, class of 29. He is full of ideas about col or.
 One place they'll have to use col or sccn is on hockey sticks he says. When a player is overtaken, he then could tell who was who behind him by the color of the sticks. Iden- tification is one of the most import ant reasons for color"
 MT. Rahr has color scheme for football uniforms. He would put bright colors on the backs of his teams uniforms. dull colors in front. The idea would be to encourage only your own team Bright colors cause mental uplift and give your team the old fighting spirit
 The backs of helmets and both arms of the football jerseys" says MT. Rahr, would be colored a high visibility yellow.
 "The backs of the jerseys would be yellow w-orange. This would build up morale and stimulate the team and help the boys follow their inter- ference.
 The backs of the football pants would be red-orange. Backs of stock ings and shoes would be red.
 Would Subdue Enemy
 "The fronts of the uniforms, on the other hand, would be of grass CT earth-preen and brown. The fronts of jerseys would be broken up with bars, to reduce visibility and help hide the football. Further more. these are subduing colors The

Whether the amazing Los Angeles team can recover from the shock of losing two games in row and sail out after another dazzling series of wins, is the Pacific Coast Leagues big question.
 At the close of the third week of play, San Diego nipped the Angels streak of wins just before the club had reached the record breaking 20 straight victories. Sunday the An gels won the first game of the doubleheader but lost the nightcap.

ing to investigation of death there
tofore clewless.
These cases, similar to hundreds
arising each year, prove the value
of FBI's civil fngerprinting file
started a few years ago and already
bearing the prints of some 1900, 900
people. They include John D. Rookie
teller, Shirley Temple, Noel Cow
ard, Jack Dempsey and thousands
of you-and-me folks, all stamped"
voluntarily.
Prints in this category are kept
apart from FBI's highly priced COL
lection of criminal prints. They
serve double purpose. First, they
protect the individual and his family
by providing a positive identified
ton at any time. In cases of am
nesia, routine police investigation,
legal disputes and disasters, these
records have kept families together
and prevented unjust prosecution.
Second, the prints safeguard pub
lie interest. We're employers, banks,
and Institutions affected with the
public interest to insist, in cases
where there was any possibility of
doubt, that positive Identification be
secured via the fngerprint route,
huge sums would be saved. Swim
dlers would be kept from passing
themselves off as someone else.
Chronic narcotic addicts, repeating
forgers and check kiters would be
brought to task.
Eventually the FBI hopes to have
all Americans ingerprinted, which
would mean 100 times the number
of prints already on file Scores of
organizations are cooperating in
the drive, soliciting prints on cards
supplied from Washington. In one
northwestern state, for example, the
Junior Chamber of Commerce is
sponsoring WPA fngerprinting
project which viii eventually record
prints of most of the states resi-
dents.

WASHINGTON. lis Amer
w ica's trouble with japan
worrying you? Read this:
For the past fetU years the re-
Lations bettUeen Japan and the
United States hare been a source
of anxiety to friends Of peace in
both countries. and foreign states
men, diplomats and Pubticists
hare predicted par betroeen Japan
and the United States and hare en-
pressed astonishment that the
United States should not see that
tuar in the immediate future is
inevitable, and hasten to place our
country on a tUdr footing.
A very timely statement, except
that it was written in 1911. Today,
with Japanese-American relations
on the brink of another crisis, it
seems equally timely. But if history
repeats itself, the Rising Sun En-
pire of the Son of Heaven may again
come to terms with Uncle Sam.
Today's crisis was precipitated
when Secretary of State Cordell Hull
suddenly abrogated the trade treaty
of 1911, which was signed few
years after President Theodore
Roosevelt had used the mailed fist
to calm an Oriental uprising. 1t
comes after more than two years of

will automatically expire, permit
