DR.. Charles Weaver. professor
of geology at the University of
Washington, turned the Peoples
Gas & Oil trial in federal court
here into classroom spelling
school today.
1t was all over the spelling of
two similar but entirely different
words coral" and corral"
According to DIR. Weaver, John
w. Ottley of Oklahoma, declared
by the defense to be : geologist
Of considerable experience in oil
and gas exploration. was confused
over the spelling of the two words
in a report he made on the oil and
gas possibilities of the French
man Hills and other areas in east
crn Washington.
In his report. Ottley wrote Of
natural corral structure in the
area and said the presence of this
marine deposit" proved that the
area at one time was under the
sea, which is an important ante
cedent to formation of oil pools.
Words Mixed
'Mr. Ottley," said DIR. Weaver
in answer to questioning by De-
Tense Counsel Vanderveer. got his
words mixed. He thought corral
was the same as coral"
DIR. Weaver explained there are
several what are called natural
corral structures in the French
man Hills area--encloscd canyons
which might be used for penning
up horses. They are listed as
natural corrals' on geologic maps.
Ottlcy no doubt thought that
meant there was deposit Of
natural marine coral there, Dr.
Weaver said, and on the basis of
that spelling mistake built up the
presumption the area was at one
time under the sea.
The spelling lesson brought out
clearly that DIR. Weaver questioned
ottley's competency as a geologist
and the importance of his recon-
mendation of the area as a field
for gas and oil exploration.
Not Worth While
And to drive that point home.
when DR.. Weaver was asked by
vanderveer why, in his study OF
the Frenchman Hills area, he had
never contacted Ottley. he replied:
From the statements he made
in his report didn't think it would
be worth while to carry on COR
respondcnce with the gentleman"
1t was DIR. Viewers fourth day
on the witness stand and his Sec
ond under cross-examination.
His Two Points
Vanderveer was attempting TO
establish two points in his ques-
tioning today:
First, that DR.. Weaver did not
go into the Frenchman Hills area

SENATE Gets
LIBERTIES PLEA

Q.N.s0 Federal legislation to
outlaw organized strike-breaking in
industry was recommended to the
Senate today In the first Of a
series of reports by the Senate
Civil Liberties Committee on its
three-year investigation into labor
violence.
The proposed legislation would
forbid industrial employers from
buying the services of private de-
tective agencies or individuals
who will indulge in the customary
practices that have made the
strike breaking business notori-
ous."
Senator La Toilette (PO of Wis
consin, chairman of the commit
tee, said he was drafting bills to
carry out the committees recon-
mendations and these will shortly
be submitted to Congress.
The legislation, the report said,
should subject the employer Of
trike-breaking agencies to pen
alties "for the tactics of aggres-
sion, intimidation, provocation,
deception and brutality, carried
out by irresponsible mercenaries
which have cost the nation so
much in human life, suffering,
bitterness and misery since 1885" F"

Hague Loses Appeal
On Ban Against CIO
Ford
|Appeal

CHICAGO, Jan. 26 (I.N.S.)
Attorneys for the Ford Motor
Company today filed an ap-
peal with the National Labor
Relations Board, seeking to
have set aside q ruling which
they claim depriveS the firm
of the right of free speech.
In a hearing last year, the
Labor Board ruled in favor
of the Ford Company on four
Of five points, but On the
fifth point, involving printed
matter distributed by the COM
pany to its workers, 1t ruled
against the motor concern.
The action was brought by
the United Automobile Work
ers Of America, q CIO affill-
ate.
Ford attorneys cOntended
that no threats, direct or in
direct, ever appeared in the
Ford Company organ, as
charged, and that Ford never
sought "tO prevent his men
from joining any 0rganiza-
tiOn they desired"

ment and the American Red Cross
to determine what this country
can do to relieve suffering in the
stricken area.
The Red Cross already has

that Chile has sufficient airplanes
to fly supplies to the devasteo
areas, but told the State Depart
ment to inform President Cerds
that this country stood ready te
