Transradio Declares
Tie With Transocean
Is Legitimate
Dies White Paper Failed
To Present All Foets,
OffieioI Charges
BY the Associated Press.

NEW YORK, Nov. 22.-Herbert
Moore, president Of Transradio Press
Service, said in q statement today
that arrangements between his serv-
ice and the Transocean News Serv-
ice, mentioned in the Dies Commit
tees white paper issued In WASH
ington yesterday, conforned to
standards of ethics and law, and
that no special significance could be
attached to them.
The Dies report said Adolf Hit
Ter had made the Transocean News
Service into an agency for the
dissemination Of propaganda in for
eign countries" 1t said Transradio
appears to be not only the receiv-
ing agency for Transocean, but also
the transmitting agency"
Mr.. Moore said arrangements be-
tween Transradio and Transocean
were similar to agreements between
his organization and French and
British news agencies and were
known to competent Federal author
tiles. He pointed out that the Dies
Committee did not even by infer
ence accuse any United States news
organization of un-American activ-
ity.'
"On the contrary" he said, ut is
well known that Transradio and
other American news services have
scrupulously guarded against all
kinds of totalitarian propaganda al
though they have, by necessity,
maintained working press agree
ments with German and other for
eign news agencies"
Cites "Flagrant Error
In discussing such entirely legiti-
mate connections, Mr.. Moore said,
whether for reasons of haste or lack
of funds, the Dies committee did not
make full investigation Of these
foreign news relationships, nor did
it respond to offers of full cooper
alton in its important and valuable
campaign against alien propaganda
activities. Instead it presented in
complete facts or fragments"
Mr.. Moore cited a fragrant error"
in that portion of the Dies report
referring to the arrangement be-
tween Transradio Press Service and
Transocean of Berlin. A Mr.. Arthur
Quisenberry. identified as an en-
ploye of Transocean, is referred to
in the Dies report as a member OF
the Board of Directors Of Transradio
Press Service. The Mr.. w.
G. Quisenberry, who is member Of
the Board of Directors of Transradio
Press Service, is not related In any
way with Mr.. Arthur Quisenberry."

They are confident that in this vast
geological upIift many more new and
important pools will be opened up: their
foresight tells them that not only new
pools but new and more valuable high
gravity oil pools are likely, on the fianixs
of the KeVin-Sunburst dome. There Will
be some drilling to prove their contention.
II we had a rule to go by, we could
make our foresight do for us the things
which our hindsight tells us we should
have done five, ten, fifteen or twenty
years ago.
What is this rule?
For weeks past we have been dis
GUESSING the theories of ''crackolOgy."
1t is not new theory nor was it evolved
entirely in this field 1t is a satisfying
answer to the person who knowing the
laws of the accumulation OF oil at the
top of a dome or anticline find the top
of a dome 6r anticIine barren and the
flanks of the dome highly productive. 1t

a satisfying answer to those who cannot
otherwise explain why acid can convert

Last week we pointed as a concrete ex-
of large production. We failed to point
out one important feature. called to our
attention by member living in Chicago,
that the proximity of a pool of HIGH

FORTUNES FROM FORESIGHT

Hindsight is based on recoIlectiOns
and regrets.
Foresight Is based on observation of
signs or a series Of events which have
marked the development of each new
pool.
Knowing all of the "signs" preceding
the development of the Baxer-HOwling
pool and knowing all of the ''signs" pre-
ccding the development of the great
F'uItOn-Rice pool, we should have known
enough to have anticipated the develop
ment of the Rocky Ridge pool. But
knowing the facts and doing something
about them are entirely different.
1t is true that members of this or
RanizatiOn "gOt their start in the Baker,
HOwling pool Some picked rare bar
gains and some of us paid high prices,
but are today thankful that we DID
get royalties on the best farms. 1t was
accidental rather than good Judgment.
Likewise our participation in the Full
ton-Rice pool where we bought cOnsid-
cradle royalty just because it was avail
able at low price.
If we had known what we know today
we would have pawned the family Jewels
to buy all of the farmers share of the
oil.
BY the time of the development of the
Rocky Ridge pool we had begun to have
foresight This pool came in with aci-
diZatiOn. Some of us could not believe
that application of hydrOchIOric acid to
Madison lime could perform the miracle
of making a gusher out of an apparently
dry hole, and we were slow to grasp the
oDDortunities that the new science pro-
v'ded. However, we DID grasp many OF
them, at time when all OF us were
short of cash, during the "Kevin de-
Dression" that followed the loss of the
Canadian oil crude markell The most
profitable investments i'm our 10 years
of royalty buying were made at this
time, largely because we were beginning
10 invest foresight along with our limited
funds.
The development of the Rfmrock pool
found us pretty well grounded in the art
of recognizing "signs". We went me-
thodicaIly about this business and fine
personal fortunes viii be the reward for
some of us who even borrowed on our
life insurance and made sharp sacrifices
to buy all the royalty we could.
And now we stand facing the future.
we know Ghat there are no fortune
making possibilities i'm buying royalties
IN the old, developed pools. Therefore,
unless there is opportunity for the deveI-
opment of new pools I'm this fieId-new
Rocky Ridge pools, new Rimrock pools
we are staIemated.
If WE are staIemated, what about the
refiners, with their investment of mil
lions Of dollars?
We may know that they are confident
OF future supply of oil for many years
to come. and they do not expect that
supply to come from the 2O-year-oId
strippers of Kelvin field, nor from the
12-year-Old strippers of POndera field
nor from the eight-year-Old strippers
of Cut Bank field.
