Chute Attack
Method Traced

BERLIN The brains behind
Germany's parachute army are
identified as those OF Gen. Ernst
Udet, the famous transformer and
stunt flIer who has thrilled crowds
at exhibitions In Europe and the
United States since the World war.
II was he, aviation sources said,
who devised the parachute strategy
used 20 successfully by the Ger
mans In Norway and Holland. and
In capturing the Eben Emael fort
In Belgium. The exploits Of men
Udet trained were believed respon-
sible for the Buck Rogers" tales
Of some new secret German war
weapon.
Udet was said 10 have devised
three techniques: ID an improved
method Of bailing out and drop
ping supplies, used In the capture
Of the Oslo. Norway, airport and
in reinforcing the isolated German
garrison at Naryik: 90 a new
composition Of parachute units for
a so-called rolling attack" with
the aid OF engineers: t3) a COM
pletely new method of landing
troops. involving n steering appa-
ratus to guide parachutes TO any
spot desired.
Udet Is well known In the United
States for his stunt flying at the
Cleveland air races In 1881 and
at Los Angeles air meet In 1898.
His specialties were upside-down
flying 100 feet from the ground.

ground with his planes wing tips

TURNER VALLEY
CONTINUED from Pasa Onel


bilitv of a new record being hung
I'D for a months output.
With operators at this date
iealously guarding their gas/oil
ratios and striving to extend the
productive life of their wells, 1t
Is not expected that many of them
will far exceed the allowables set
nv the board although it is known
that the field is likely to make
nearer $4,000 Dbl. on the average
dav now than the $4,000 officially
ordered.
If production should prove to be
81 600 a day, however, the total
would only reach 837 900 and TINS
figure has been twice exceeded IN
Turner Valley history. once IN
September '3S, first month Of the
Alberta Conservation Board con-
troll and again in July, 'S9, when
the field was flung wide open,
and brought signs of strain to sew
eral of the wells.
It is a remarkable fact that at
this period the Turner Valley field
alone produced 874,064 Dbl. OF oil,
with only 81 wells operating, 8
Of which were completed in the
month.
Today we have III wells OPP
Grating in July, but many of them
are older and the owners know the
price that must be paid for going
ont on a production splurge. 1t rs
not likely that this figure will be
exceeded it seems from the evidence,
but we can wait and see with the
best of them.

THE TIME HAS COME

ket in the near future? And does it not
follow that scarcity is going to hit the
industry in the Spring unless more oil
is developed?
That means more drilling in the prov
en- areas of present fields and as 1T be-
comes apparent that the reserves of pres
ent producing fields must be augmented
to care for the refinery investments of
this region. operators viii have to turn
their attention to the discovery of new
reserves. The first and logical place to
look is i'm DEEPER HORIZONS. To the
owners of royalties in present producing
fields this is the most important develop
ment possible. Where man has bought
royalty on a tract, contemplating a re-
covery of 1000 barrels per acre, the
discovery of production in some lower
horizon, such as the Devonian, will mean
that instead of having reserves of 1000
barrels per acre below his land, he may
have 1000 or 5000 barrels-depending
on how prolific the lower horizons may
prove. 1t is the history of other oil
states that the most prolific horizons are
those BELOW the big lime.

The end of the present year-only four
months away-wiII find the State OF
Montana with little or no storage oil.
The current production of present
producing wells is not quite enough to
care for established, steady market re-
quirements.
The foregoing statements are in bold
contrast to conditions at this time three
years ago when Montana after losing
its Canadian market was in the most
serious plight in the history of its oil
development.
There is not one drop of storage Oil
in Cut Bank field today that cannot be
sold at 81 per barrel. There is not one
barrel of current production that can
not be sold, between now and the first
of the year.
In Kelvin field all the storage oil from
the large tanks was cleaned up early in
the year. Then in May and June all OF
the lease storage oil was run. There IS
no storage oil either in the tank farms
or in field batteries in Kevin-Sunburst
field.
There is some 175,OOO barrels of
marketless storage Oil in Pondera but
that is not enough to serve as a safe
reserve for Montana refiners.
Canadian refiners have re-entered the
Montana market and more than 5000
barrels of oil is moving across the bor-
der each day, and will continue TO move
during the balance of the year, III we
are rightly informed.
On July 1 there was in storage in Gut
Bank field a total of 74S, 164 barrels
of crude 1t is reported that more than
800. 900 barrels has been purchased Tor
the Canadian market and the remainder
belongs to CSk Bank refiners who need
the crude as reserves for their own
plants. The Cut Bank market i'm June
took 25O, 900 barrels and in May, BIZ, 900
barrels, and it is necessary for ref1ners
to have from 80 to 90 days supply of
crude in sight Insufficient refinery stor-
age now remains-with the Canadian
