The Political Mill
New Dealers Misplaced Foith in City Machines
Blamed in Part for Election Setbueks

the Republicans have increased
their membership in the new
House by 42-over their 166 IN
the present House. They have
good chances in 2 Of the 3 dis
tricts still in doubt.
Had the entire membership
of the Senate been up for re-
election on Tuesday, instead OF
one-third, the Republicans might
have upset the apple cart for the
Democrats in that body. As 1t
was they gained 9 seats in the
upper house, 8 from the Demo-
Gratis and l from an Independent,
Senator Norris of Nebraska. The
new Senate will have 81 Demo-
Gratis. SO Republicans and / Pro-
gressive.
These figures show that just a
handful of anti-new deal Demo-
Gratis In the House can always
hold the balance Of power in that
body. And there are many more
than a handful. In the Senate
II Democrats voting with the
Republicans on any proposal,
would constitute a majority.
Machines Fail.
The reliance the New Dealers
placed on powerful city ma
chimes" to control State wide
elections, as in Chicago and Jer-
sey City, was misplaced. Both of
these machines, the Kelly-Nash
in Chicago and the Hague in
Jersey City, were unable to de-
feat the Republican candidates
for Senator in Illinois and New
Jersey.
Senator Brooks, Republican,
carried Illinois by 10000 votes
and Senator-elect Hawkes., Re-
publican, defeated the Demo-
cratic incumbent, Senator Smath-
ers, in New Jersey by some 1000
votes. In Chicago the machine
also lost one congressional dis
trict to the Republicans, the
third, representing a gain for
the COP In the House.
Gov. Edison, Democrat, of New
Jersey had no hesitation In de-
claring that the results Of the
elections In that State were a
rebuff to Mayor Frank Hague of
Jersey City-the Democratic boss.
The Governor and Mr.. Hague
have been at swords points ever
since Gov. Edison took Office.
Explanations of the over
whelming victory Of Thomas E.
Dewey, Republican, for Cover
nor of New York are myriad.
The unofficial total figures give
him a lead of nearly 100000 over
his Democratic opponent, At
torney General John J. Bennett,
jr. Even if the votes cast for
Dean Alfange, American Labor,
nearly 100000, had been given as
a whole to the Democratic can
didate, Mr.. Dewey still would
have won with a lead of 10000.
The Democratic organizations
of New York City failed to pro-
duce the usual big pluralities for
the Democratic candidate. Mr..
Bennett in the city vote led Mr..
Dewey by only $4,000 votes. 1t
was in the city that Mr.. Anange
received nearly all of his support,
348,500 votes. 1.s,- q
: Many New Dealers, determined
to cause the defeat of Mr.. Ben
nett and his chief backer, Demo-
cratic State Chairman James A.
Farley, cast their votes for the
American Labor candidate.

Jewish Leaders Plan
Religious Council Of

American Rubbis' Group
Would Guard Against
State Of Serfdom
By the Associated Press.

CINCINNATI, Dec. Is. - Sixty
Jewish leaders looked today to q
future meeting Of the Central Con-
ference of American Rabbis for pos
sible augmentation Of a broad
platform of all religions, and an end
to exploitation and serfdom in the
postwar world.
They adopted the platform last
night in the closing session of the
American Institute Of Judaism and
a Just and Enduring Peace, held
under the central conferences aus
pieces and attended by represent
atives Of reformed, orthodox, and
conservative Jews. The conference is
expected to meet in about six
months.
Their declaration urged interna-
tional efforts to raise all peoples
living standards and to guarantee
"the right to equality of economic
opportunity without regard to race,
religion or nationality"
There must be no room -. for
exploitation or serfdom," the state
ment said.
The institute proposed an i'm
mediate world council of Christianity
and Judaism and later "the forma-
ton of world council of religions
which might well be the conscience
OF mankind ="
Attacking doctrines OF racial
superiority. the institute urged Jews,
because OF prosecutions they have
suffered, to feel especially obligated
to understand the plight of the
Negro in all sections Of our country
and to espouse his cause"

ban coast visible, the ship was
beaten back by the seas.
For two days the eight men drift
ed in the Gulf Stream. On the
third, 45-foot waves capsized the
frail craft. The eight men were
unable to right it.
Three men, weakened by the
struggle, gave up and sank. All
natives of Spain, they were Juan
Cages and VICENTE Casas, seamen,
and Raymon Gonzalez, cook.
Finally, the five survivors did
right the boat and drifted until they
were rescued Wednesday by an
American vessel. They were landed
here yesterday.
In addition to Capt. Shippe, sur
vivors were:
Raymond B. Yates, jr., chief en-
gineer, and John E. Abbott, second
engineer, both of British West In
dies; Jesus Infante, native of Spain,
acting first mate, and Manuel Can
oser, seamen, OF Havana.

The Need For High Gravity Crude

men moved still farther west a half
mile and drilled their second well, get
ting a producer which had an initial of
IS barrels per day. Then they drilled
a third well which rates as perhaps the
most notable completion in Kelvin field
during the year, l94l.
The outstanding feature is that it is
HIGH GRAVITY crude - paraffin
base and sulphur-free. At depth of
2486 this we'll had an initial of 20
barrels per day This well compares
with the good wells of Cut Bank field
with the advantage of 400 TO 500 feet
less drilling.
VUE do not believe that the signifi-
w canoe of that discovery will be
passed unnoticed. We believe that the
entire western area-all of Township
35N, Rg. 3W and all of Township 35N-
Avn will come in for systematic pros
pecting Likewise the district south, in
Township 34N and Township 33N to-
day have more favorable indications
than had the area above the rimrock
when High Gravity Production Co.
spotted its first we'll Now it is known
that there is a structural condition run
ming from northwest to southeast, up
onto the Arch, which forms a trap or
pool favorable for accumulation of oil.
It's extent is not indicated by the three
wells drilled because this is UN-
DRAINED territory in which the gas
head is not effected by any other drill
ing. it follows that some more large
wells may be expected in the new pool
above the rimrock.
Is there any reason why other such
structural conditions in the West Kelvin
area should not carry oil?
There is no such reason of which any
one knows. Practically every well
drilled in the western area has found

THE OPERATOR or investor who
4 would move into the path of quick
est success at this time will turn his
attention to high gravity oil. That is
the demand Of the hour, since motor
fuel is needed at this time for war
purposes. The federal oil co-ordinator
has stated that he prefers the develop
ment of high gravity oils
Applied to Montana this points in
one direction toward Cut Bank oil
field Cut Bank field now encompass
ing 10000 acres of proven ground, is
one of the great light oil pools of the
United States and its existence indi-
Gates that more high gravity oil will
be found in the area.
The district of greatest promise for
discovery of new light oil deposits is
that between Kelvin and the Cut Bank
oil field. The high gravity pool west
of Kelvin is even more profitable than
the main Cut Bank field The oil av-
erages higher in gravity but is other
wise a comparable and desirable refin-
cry stock. 1t is found at lesser depth
but instead of sand horizons, the pools
west of Kelvin produce from the top
of the Madison lime, which is suscep-
table to acidization
One of the most notable events of
the year, l94l, was the development of
the new high gravity pool on the rim
rock six miles northwest of the town
of Kelvin and beyond the former limits
of the Rimrock pool Working on
theory which few if any other Mon
tana operators would accept, the High
Gravity Production Co. was organized
by a group of Kelvin and Shelby men
to drill an area on top of the 800-foot
rimrock wall which marks the west
boundary of the Sweetgrass Arch. The
first well drilled had little oil-merely
enough to prove theory-and these

no time to put his clothes on again
and it was dark, so he just slipped on
his shoes, grabbed his trusty shotgun
and the flaShlight and went out to
investigate.
Reaching the hen house, he threw
open the door and squatted down,
pointing the gun and flashlight toward
the roosts and peering into the void.
AS he stretched forward in that
crouching position the cold air swept
through the aperture In the back of

THE stockpile, while it contains the
largest amount of rubber ever held in
the United States, would be exhausted
in little more than two months if nor
NAL civilian consumption were allowed
to continue"
P. w. Litchfield. chairman Of the
Goodyear board, issued statement in
July, 1910, seeking to arouse greater
national interest, urging a national
lied emergency reserve Of crude rubber
of 300 900 to 100000 tons in excess of
current commercial needs; the re-
claiming of scrap rubber and develop
ment of synthetic rubber production.
"A nationalized emergency reserve of
even larger size than was then sug-
gested HAS BEEN CREATED. Rubber
on hand and under government con-
troll in this country today is sufficient
to carry our essential war needs
through the next year or more. .
We have manufacturing plants for the
production of reclaimed or regenerated
rubber connected with our rubber fac
tories. These reclaim plants have a
high total capacity and at this very
moment are turning out large supplies
of reclaim which can be converted into
tires and other rubber products. Tires
of regenerated rubber definitely do not
have the wearing qualities Of tires
made from crude rubber but they
WILL prevent American wheels from
coming to stop.
I'VE are rapidly expanding our ia
cilities for the production of synthetic
rubber and, within the next IL months
under the present program, our coun-
try,S total capacity for synthetic can
reach more than 10000 tons per year.
And this can be rapidly expanded to
any extent our emergency needs may
require, using only materials which are
produced within continental bound
aries of the United States"

Tax Burden of

The petroleum industry of the
United States paid taxes totaling 81
474O00000 during the year 1941, K. F..
Fox, Montana Shell manager, told the
Civilian club of Great Falls Thursday.
Of this sum S1.290,O 100000 was gasoline

National Highway Users Conference.
Fox showed a motion picture film
taken in the Shell laboratories depect-
ing the manufacture of synthetic rub
Der. explosives, plasticS and other prod
ucts from crude petroleum. He de-
clared that the oil industry can en-
large capacities to produce enough
rubber for national requirements.
The oil industry was not caught I'M
prepared for war, he declared, and
there should be no shortage of pc
troleum products to supply all Ameri-
can planes and tanks with high oc-
tame gasoline and to supply the navy
and ships at sea with unlimited
amounts of fuel oil. He pointed out
the important role of the American
motoriSt as a taxpayer supporting the
government. In 1920, he said, 81 bought
five gallons of gasoline and out Of
that sum "a cents went for taxes.
In 1880, 81 bought six gallons Of
gasoline and "a cents went for taxes
In 1941, 81 bought seven gallons Of
gasoline and A cents out of the dol
lar went for taxes. These were ma
tional averages.
The U. S. has 81 percent Of the
worlds oil production, producing more
10O-octane gasoline than any other
nation, thereby giving American air
forces a decided advantage over enemy
filters.

structural trap is found in such dis
trict, a commercial pool is likely.
OF further significance is the devel-
opment of good gas production in the
western edge of Township 34N-4W by
Big West Oil Co. Big West plans to
pipe this gas to Kelvin for use in its
refinery and for field use. These gas
wells are today as valuable as oil wells
in view of the shortage of gas in Kelvin
area. The locations are such that they
doubtless belong to Cut Bank gas field,
rather than to West Kelvin. But few
people expected that the Cut Bank gas
field would extend that far east We
now begin to understand the Glacier
Production Co.'S move in leasing up
vast district EAST of present Cut
Bank gas production.
1t all sums UP to indicate that there
is no more promising district in the
state-where the presence of oil and gas
is more certain Accordingly, it looks
like the logical spot where operators
should turn their attention for new
drilling. Priorities are removed for such
wells, since the OPA and OPM have
given wildcatters all the equipment they
need to drill either in new territory or
in centers of 40-acre tracts which now :
have no oil. And the government ex-
tends its blessings to development of
high gravity crude, which may be sore
" needed should Montana be called
upon in the stress of war to supply the
Pacific Northwest.
