WYoU might almost have thought he was
brush salesman, this eager-eyed, wiry
i little man with the sample case. But the
places where he was toting his sample case
were hardly brush-salesman territory. The
United States Navy Department. for instance;
the United States Senate office building; yes,
even the White House.
At walk approximating quick trot, he
proceeded toward doors that open only by
appointment; but the enthusiasm shining
in his smile still seemed to suggest the single
mindedness of man intent on selling some
thing.
And he ,Uas selling something. "Now, let
me show you," he said to the President -
and to senators and Navy officials and other
bigwigs who opened their doors to him. Then
out of the case came his sample: beautiful
scale model of great ship, luxurious ocean
liner His sales talk ran along these lines:
In the Pacific we need new passenger liners,
bigger and more modern than anything now
in service. This ship would be the answer
to that need: liner of the class of the new
America, luxury vessel with air conditioning
and every convenience and comfort for its

passengers But - and here he would begin
pointing to construction features on the model
- it was more than that. 1t was also convert
ible, if needed for defense, into an airplane
carrier A slight change in the superstructure
here, minor alteration in the interior ac-
commodations there - and presto, the peace
time luxury ship is warship.
That is the way Rear Admiral Emory S.
Land, chairman of the United States Mari
time Commission, sold the idea of convertible
ships - for passenger service if peace is
permitted to us, for combat use with the Navy
if war strikes Two of them are about to be
built by the Maritime Commission. They will
symbolic both the rebirth of the United
States merchant marine and its important
part in our national-defense program. And
they will also be monuments to this go-getting
admiral whose down-to- earth methods are
largely responsible for the fact that the
American merchant marine today is staging
a sensational comeback.
Long before most of the country had be-
come aroused to the need of strong program
for defense, Admiral Land was calling for a
resurected merchant marine as defense

merchant ships from the Commission, and the
War Department has taken ten. And they
are both planning on more.
The reason the ships are available is that
back in the summer of 1899 the Admiral de-
cided an emergency was coming - though
few were talking emergency then - and took
the bull by the horns. The Commission let
contracts for sixty-seven ships in forty
days, running smack into deficit and thereby
soaring the red-tape manipulators half to
DEATH The Admiral grinned at their discom-
future "See you in JAIL" he cheered them.
And the ships were built at pre-emergency,
peacetime prices.
Among them were some tankers For ten
years the Navy had been working on the idea
of superfast tankers to supply its warshps
with fuel But the Navy never built them.
As an old Navy man, the Admiral knew of the
need; and in 1893 he arranged with the
Standard Oil Company of New Jersey to
cooperate with the Maritime Commission
in building some They are the fastest tankers
ever built, and the oil company was delighted
with them. But it hasn't got them any more.
The Navy decided to take over three and try
them out Now it has taken over all the rest
- twelve in all.

demanded. A shipyard official looked around

Eyes turned toward the shipyard office

hat dripping water, hoped over pile OF
steel girders and came trottlng toward the

The Admiral mounted the steps of the
stand at his characteristic quick pace, grim
ming happily. He had been looking over the
sister ship of the Cape Ann, recently launched
and tied up down the yard, he explained
shaking the water from his hat. Then he
turned his attention to the Cape Ann. Isn't
she beauty" he chuckled happily.
A few minutes later, the champagne bottle
burst, and the new vessel slid majestically
down the ways and swung around In the
stream.
Look at her" said the Admiral eagerly.
"See how sweet her lines look now!'
Admiral Land loves ships. And he knows
ships. When he graduated from the Naval
Academy in 1902 he was assigned to take
postgraduate course in naval architecture at
the Massachusetts, Institute of Technology;
and from then until the day of his retirement
as Chief of the Bureau of Construction and
Repair, in 1887, most of his service in the
Navy was as naval constructor - planner
and supervisor and builder of ships And it is
this love and knowledge of ships, plus the

Bur even if there had been no defense

rushed by the Plantation Pipeline Co.
in anticipation of passage of the Cole

bill gives the president the authority
to grant right Of eminent domain to
pipelines designated as essential to
national defense and will enable the
Plantation company to proceed imme-
diately to construction of its proposed

purchase of rights of way has been
opened in Meridian, Miss, and addi-

Pipe delivery is expected to start in
July and to be completed in October.
Held up for more than year by in
ability to obtain crossing rights from

OF COMMITTEE
DELAYED AGAIN

NO announcement of regional COM

mittee Of 48 viii be appointed, includ-
ing II representing each of the pro-
ducing, refining, transportation and
marketing divisions win be named by

Numerous individual recommended
lions were sent in from Montana al
though no central body Of any kind has
submitted a list. There is talk of the
reviving the Rocky Mountain OIL g.

viding a contract between the industry
and the regional committee.
Meantime, the industry was warning
against the alarmiSts who have been
shouting "GaSolfneless Sundays" on the
east coast. II the construction Of pipe
lines can proceed promptly, there win
be no serious shortage. That depends
on passage by congress of the Cole

Construction of a 9O0-miie 24-inch
line from st. Louis Junction to New

Modern "DO-DGd" Is
Used to Tell That
Oil Has Been Found

man to keep up with the names or the
new devices used in the oil industry
to perform feats that a few years ago
would be regarded as magic-if not
pure hokum Editor Kayser Of the
Chickasha, okla, Star gives a lay de-
scription Of modern drilling technique:
They drill oil wells different now. Il
used to be they cored every sand that
look promising. They shifted and
smelled Of every cutting that looked
like It might carry oil or gas. Now
the operator Of the well tells the drill
er the depth he wants the hole to 20
and goes off in his airplane. They drill
the hole straight down, never looking
up until the correct depth is reached.
Then they bring in an electric do
dad They run it up and down the
hole and If 1t has the ji1nmies they
set a line Of casing, perforate it and
bring in the well They used to be
afraid they would mud off a sand: now
they couldn't help but mud one off.
But those who know say the electric
do dad is better than the old plan
of testing the sand"

REFNERS BREAK
ALL RECORDS IN
RUNS TO STILLS

Montana oil production dropped be-
hind market demands IN the month Of
May by more than 1000 barrels per
day, according to the monthly state
ment issued by the Oil Conservation
board. Montana refiners stepped up
runs to stills to the all-time record of
17,751 barrels per day.
Montana oil fields stepped up to a
production Of 1875 barrels per day,
the highest rate of daily production
since 1926 when Kelvin field was at
its peak. In spite of the record pro-
duction Of 611,811 barrels In May,
however, the market absorbed 648,940
barrels Of oil, drawing on storage to
care for the shortage.
The closest approach to this record
in the last IS years was in May, 1910,
when Kevin field was opened to ca
pacity by The Texas Co., but the
total was only 6O8,873 barrels. This
year finds Texas company connections
in Kelvin field producing at less than
SO percent of capacity, the increase
being largely due to increased Cut
Bank production.

TURNER VALLEY
DRILLING SLOWS

Super anxiety to get revenues for the
war-pressed government struck a body
blow at oil development in Alberta,
according to the Western Examiner of
Calgary which states that the increased
royalties and new mess of royalty reg
ulations has already discouraged ac-
tivity by some of the independent OPP
orators.
Turner Valley producers are consid-
ering taking court action to test the
validity Of the royalty order. One d.
rect result was that five parcels Of oil
lands offered for lease had no bidding
when the sale was called. Relaxed
royalty burdens or higher prices for
the crude are the only hope Of ending
the stagnation that has hit Turner
Valley development, the Examiner says.
