Co.ordinator Defends
u. ). Dormitories
Al Senate Probe
Palmer BIomes Curmody
In Occupancy Dispute;
Prefobricotion Backed
By the Associated Press.

Defending the construction of
dormitories for migratory workers,
Charles r. Palmer. defense housing
co-ordinator. told a Senate Inquiry
Committee today that this country
had done the greatest fob of public
housing ever done in any country"
in the last year.
The witness. appearing to answer
charges made by John Carmody,
Federal Works administrator, that
Mr.. Palmer had insisted on the
construction of dormitories which
now were only half occupied. laid
the blame for this situation at Mr.
Carmody's door.
Mr. Palmer told the committee,
headed by Senator Truman, Demo-
crat, of Missouri, that the failure of
the F. w. A. to equip dormitories
constructed for single men had
caused lag in rentals. He testified,
however, that an anticipated in
crease in aircraft factory employ
ment in San Diego, Calf, soon would
I'LL a 750-unit dormitory there, which
Mr.. Carmody had said was largely
vacant.
Senator Truman asked the witness
whether he had had cooperation
from the various Government agen-
cies in his efforts to coordinate the
defense housing program.
II think there is lot more CO.
operation than there used to be-"
Mr.. Palmer replied. 1t was natural,
he said, where there were dozen
different agencies, for the heads of
those agencies to seek to outstrip
each other.
Gives Detailed Data.
Mr.. Palmer said that within the
last year since funds became avail
able, money had been allocated for
$4,000 houses, 1854 trailers and
11,841 dormitory units. He said
living units were being completed
now at the rate of from 1000 to 5000
a month.
Earlier Hugh Fulton, counsel for
the Senate committee, asserted that
an apparent desire on the part of
some Federal officialsto preserve
the craft setup" was responsible for
failure to cut defense housing costs
several hundred dollars" per unit.
Pointing to evidence assembled by
the committee, Mr.. Fulton said there
were clear indications that unit costs
could be reduced materially if pre-
fabrication methods were adopted.
Mr.. Carmody told the committee
yesterday that the award of con-
tract on q $S79, 900 housing project
In Wayne County, Mich, to an en-
ployer of C. I. o. labor who was the
low bidder was delayed because Of

A political career as congressman
and governor climaxed the colorful life
Of Marland of Ponca City, who made
and lost fortunes and gave away mil
lions.
Once head of the Marland Oil Co.,
and affiliated concerns, with interests
in several nations and states, Marland
controlled in 1928 interests valued at
$85, 0O0, 900. His personal fortune then
had reached $30,O00,OOO.
without bitterness, Marland charged
that wolves of Wall street" invest
ment bankers from whom he borrowed
money-brought about the merger of
the Marland Oil Co. and Continental
Oil Co. He resigned as head Of the
Marland company and with him went
many of his directors.
His personal fortunes dwindled when
he borrowed 81 100000 on $15,OOO,O0O
worth of company stock to pay $3,000,-
900 income tax alleged due. He lost
the stock but in 1881 was refunded
100000 of the tax by the federal gov
eminent. In 1894 he owned land near
Ponca City valued at about 100000
in normal times.
On these acres stands Bryant
Bakers statue 1.-THE Pioneer Woman. -
1t was erected on high bluff in 1926
at cost of 100000 and dedicated by
to the pioneer mothers Of
America.
Marland was credited with intro
ducing geology to the ell Industry as
a regular method Of determining loca-
ton Of oil fields, with initiating core
drilling and wide use of the seismo-
graph.

ANOTHER BIG
WELL IN SOUTH
TRIBAL POOL

R. C. Jeffries, Cut Bank independent
operator. scored his second important
success in the new Tribal pool oil
South Cut Bank this week as he
brought in another large producer

No. l. a 1.0O0-barrel well-the largest
Cut Bank producer in the history OF
the field.

rels in the first "a hours. Jeffries then
shot it at 1900 to 29l0 feet with 100
quarts of nitro glycerin, weighing the
shot with calseal. This is the first
time a well Of 360-barrel initial has
been shot and the outcome will be
watched with interest Ordinarily nj
tro is applied only In the case of
small well or a very tight sand The
new science of shooting, which pro-
tects the casing from damage, may
influence future shooting practice in
this field
The Jeffries well had Sunburst sand
from 2820-283O. dry: upper Cut Bank
from 2850-2891 and lower Cut Bank,
1891 1908 with Ellis at 29O9 to 29l0
Fluid rose 1000 feet. Casing was ce-
mented at 1874.
Jeffries' No. well in NE Sci NEs

initial of 1000 barrels per day and
it is still making 1856 barrels per day.

rel well. 1t had Sunburst sand from
2855-2865; upper Cut Bank, 2894-2940
and lower Cut Bank from 294O to
$3.50, the main pay. The Ellis shale was
one foot to 2951 Casing

Stdu another 1O0-barrel well this
week again called attention to the
possibilities of the eastern edge OF
Kelvin field, which has been neglected
until recently, ON account Of the high
gravity oil development on the ex-
treme west end Of the field, 10 miles
distant.

still another good well ON its Martin

In recent weeks by Enfield OIL COM
pany.
The Martin No had a natural
production of 10 barrels per day and
after treatment with 500 gallons OF
Kelvin acid it made 148 barrels of
fluid In the first "a hours following
recovery of oil used in treating. There
is about 10 percent water with the
oil. The contact was at 1920 to 1885
and it was completed at 1889.
