order P-22" Petroleum Co-ordinator's
office issued the following:
A number Of questions have arisen
in connection with the application OF
Preference Rating Order P-22. Some
Of these questions are direct OUT
growths of statements issued by sup
pliers to their customers in an effort
to induce their customers to use the
rating in obtaining materials.
1t should be pointed out that the
actual user Of the equipment ordered
under P-22 is the only person entitled
to initiate the A-10 rating. 1t follows
therefore that such person viii be the
one held primarily liable for any mis-
use Of the order. To operators in the
industry, this means that they must
be extremely careful TO see that they
comply in every respect with the pro-
visions Of P-22 before endorsing the
certification which permits them to
apply the A-10 rating.
1t should be emphasized that in APP
plying the A-10 rating. it Is the pur-
pose for which equipment Is to be
used, not the equipment itself, which
is determinative of the right Of any
operator to apply the A-10 rating.
Thus, although many types Of equip
ment can be obtained under P-22, only
such equipment can properly be OBJ
tanned under the order as is to be
used for maintenance. repair and OPP
Grating supplies as defined therein.
ANY use of the order to obtain equip
ment for other purposes Is a violation
OF the policy behind the order, as wen
as q violation of the specific provisions |
incorporated therein. It is important |
that operators should note in this |
connection that any person who APP
plies an A-10 rating assigned by the |
order in wilful violation Of the terms |
and provisions Of the order, or who |
wilfully falsifies any records required |
to be Kept by the order, or who OBJ
tains delivery Of material by means Of
a material and wilful misstatement
may be forbidden to apply further the
A-IO rating. In addition, such an OPP
orator may be prohibited from obtain
ing further deliveries of material UNI

The foregoing narrative follows the
verbage Of the completion Of one OF
the great early-day gushers Of Kelvin
field, but it is, instead, the last re-
ported events at the drilling In OF
the PreVol g. Shay-Wait No. 10 well IN
the east central part Of Kelvin, where
drillers had almost forgotten about the
gas pressures Of wells Of is years ago.
That is the way the big wells per-
formed.
At this Wait well, the crew ran the
tools cautiously back in and found
that the hole had bridged about 200
feet off bottom and at last reports
they were drilling out the bridge. The
flow OF gas with the oil would prob
ably have meant a flowing well In
the early DAYS of this field. The OUT
come win be watched with interest.
There was 200 feet Of oil in the hole,
before 1t bridged, which would mean
that with acidization a commercial
producer was assured. This is an old
stripper lease, thought ready for aban-
donment, bought at bargain price re-
Gently from Clara Oh Co. Instead OF
salvaging the old wells, the new own
ers moved northward onto the UNI
drilled portion of the 100 acres and
there found some remaining early-day
pressure. They have an additional 80
acres to the north on which no wells
have been drilled-thanks to three dry
holes farther north, drilled by the
Kal-Bar Oil Co. Their NO. 10 is In
NE SEz NEa 24-35-2W.

Miss Dane has been buyer El this department for 10 years"
 She wanted to retort, Maybe it's 10 years too long," She bit the words back. The store earned great deal of money 1t was certainly successful store, and efficient.
 q never tried to understand 1t before. But now that I'm here, I'm going to stick 1t out. I'll learn"
 It came to her that if she were the girl she pretended to be, she'd have no choice. Shed be glad of the job and meek. I'll take it," she thought fiercely. "I'll stay right here and find out if I'm worth anything or not"
 Again she remembered the voice in MT Weeming's office. Useless, am I? Well, I'm going to find out If Grandfather's store Is really living up to what he wanted 1t to be. And If 1t isn't, I'm going to make 1t over!"

 Miss Davis, I - CT -- well, as a matter of fact, Miss Davis, our buyer thinks you should be warned about spending too much time in conversation with each clvtomer." He stirred uneasily from one foot to the other. we understand of course, that a sale can't be hurried. But she feels that you or -- perhaps unconscious ly CT - are attempting to sway the customers judgment so that - well, in the end, we shall have a return rather than sale"
 Beatrice's hand on the dresses shook a little. I'm sorry, MT. Bradley" she said quietly. I'll try to do better"
 Yesterday, when she'd been ex- plaining to customer that verti- cal stripes were better than hori- zontal stripes in sizes 20, the buyer had been going over some slips at the counter nearby. But Beatrice hadn't connected that with the resentful look the buyer had given her this morning as she hung up a new lot of horizontal stripe numbers.
 So Miss Dane had been listen- ing just now, tocl No wonder Miss Getz and Toby and Annie Ryan called her "Drizzle Puss"l
 She's taking 1t as a criticism of her buying judgment Beatrice thought, as she walked back to her customer. And so 1t is. She may be a wonder when 1t comes to getting shipment of dresses under the market price, but it's her place to buy more discrimi- nately, too" Tn just this single week, Beatrice had come to many conclusions about Budget Fash ions.
 The customer finally walked out without buying anything. Beatrice let her go.
 She stood there in the fitting room, touching the rejected dark dress that was smart, practical, and quiet for all its tiny price tag, and thought, Doesn't the store want the best efforts of It's sales people? Is this the way they treat everybody who tries to be really helpful?"
 True, the dress hadn't sold. But if the store, as matter of policy, went in for educating its cus- toners -- for being of actual scrv- ice to them--in the end, the sales would be better than ever, They'd be dependable, regular repeat sales. Customers would be grateful and come back, for they'd know at Huntington's you got an honest opinion, not just q sales talk"
 She returned to the sales floor slowly. MT. Bradley was signing a slip for Toby. On an impulse, Beat rice asked him, DO you think cus- toners prefer not having the opin- ions of the sales -person offered themp Some of them are uncertain, they really ask"
 MT. Bradley looked uncomlort- able. "A store must give It's GUS toners what they want, not what's good for them. Everybody's taste is different We cant go In for educating our customers up to our own individual standards"
 Why cant we?" asked Beatrice hotly "Oh, maybe I don't know enough about it. But 1t seems to me that If that same girl walked into the college shop upstairs they wouldn't let her buy $20 dress that would announce to anyone who saw 1t that Huntingtons col lege shop smells bad!

Victory for Liberals
Seen in Japan's S New
Defense Headquarters
Organization Indicates
Extent to Which Nippon
Feels AneIo-U. S. Pressure
~ the Associated Press.

Ss the Associated Press.
MANILA, Sept l2.-Establishment
of national defense headquarters
directly under the Emperor of japan
evidently represents an important
victory for japanese Liberals in theil
long fight to check the imperiallStlc
campaigns of radical Army officers
The new organization indicates
the extent to which Japan is feeling
the United States and British eco
nomic pressure, and the increasing
awareneSs Of dangers from the Far
Eastern military preparations OF
American, British, Chinese and
Dutch forces.
Japanese Liberals are hoping for
a deal with the United States under
which washington will at least relax
the order freezing japanese credits
and other economic pressure.
Tighter Control Needed.
To insure any success in this plan
1t is absolutely necessary to tighten
control over militarists in Man.

began the Manchurian incident and
the China affair without orders
from Toxic under conditions Of in
ternal unrest far less grave than
those of today. Hence, there is an
ever-present current danger of such
independent action by the army.
The fact the censor passed the
Associated Press report Of the new
organization indicates the bureau

States that active measures are
being taken to eliminate this duality
which has been responsible fol

The concurrent arrival of Prince
Chichibu in Saigon suggests that
the emperor's elder brother is bring
ing the rulers personal order to
military commanders in Indo- China

Prince Chichibu has acted in simi-
lar capacity in the past.
In view of the reverence with
which the Japanese regard their
emperor, the new headquarters un-

check any unauthorized move
against the Soviet Union and stimuli
taneously tighten internal control
to prevent an uprising in the event
of any deal with the United States.
Deal Would Be Unpopular.
Such a deal is bound to be un-
popular with Ninnonese expansion
lists because it would halt the spread
of japanese imperialism, and prob
ably would mean substantial Jap
anese concessions.
Gen. Otozo Yamada, commander
of the new headquarters, commands
a substantial following among the
army.
The domestic organization was ex-
tensively overhauled and strength
ened last year. At that time it was
believed liberal advisors to the en-
peror fought unsuccessfully for crea-
ton of separate headquarters di-
rectly under the throne, arguing
that it would Streamline defense
measures. Radical army officers op-
posed it because it would lessen the
power Of the War Minister and
Chief of Staff, who are more directly
aligned with the dominating army
group.

Johns Hopkins Head
Cites Nazi Tactics
In Latin America
Declares, However, Up
To 800 Of People Are
In Sympathy With U. S.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
BALTIMORE, Sept. 12.-Dr.
Isaiah Bowman, president of Johns
Hopkins University, declared yester-
day that the present German goy-
ernment lis so ruthless and so re-
Sourceful that one need not be sur
prised to learn that Nazi activities
in Latin America are amply sup
ported, well organized and ruthless
in form"
The educator, who returned from
a three-month lecture tour Of Peru,
Ecuador and Colombia under the
auspices of the State Department,
said that 80 to 80 per cent OF the
people of Latin America, neverthe-
less, are positively anti-Nazi in
spirit and activity"
Sympathy for U. S. Cited.
"All who have learned of such
activities in the United States will
not be surprised to learn that meet
ings, demonstrations and key posi-
tions are held by Nazi sympathiz-
ers." Dr. Bowman stated.
But If I were to make a rough
guess, based on hundreds of con-
versations during the past three
months with all kinds of people and
with constant reading of the local
press" he continued, "it would be
that from 80 to 80 per cent of the
people of the three countries I visit
ed are not only In sympathy with
the position Of the United States
and devoted to the policies and ideas
of President Roosevelt, but are posi-
lively anti-Nazi in spirit and ac-
tivity."
Discussing the economic situation
in the South American countries,
DR.. Bowman said there is a certain
rigidity in economic structure.
No Economic Study Urged.
while industries are growing in
variety and size" he explained, 1.-The
countries in question are mainly
producers Of raw materials. We
cannot expect them to wish to with
hold their products to Europe II they
cannot sell to the United States.
I'VE cannot expect words to make
Western Hemisphere policy. Political
ideas in themselves will not nourish
Western Hemisphere friendship.
From day to day men must live and
no political ideas can succeed If eco
nomic life is strangled by war.
"Our good neighbor policy must
therefore include a close economic
study Of Hispanic American needs
and possibilities"
