Barely Clear Trees.
Rapidly the runway disappeared
and as yet no wheel had left the
ground. We were doing ground
speed Of only 80 miles. We should
have 120. Just as the cocoanut
trees seemed to be beckoning, their
palm fronds waving in seeming
laughter, up went the nose OF the
BIT and we cleared the trees with
but fractions of inches to spare.
Once in the air Smith made for
higher attitudes, around 10000 feet,
so that "if we had to glide we'll
have a little chance" he explained.
It's cold at 10000 feet and with all
the plexiglass shot out and the over
head slides out of commission it was
freezing.
We had fve-hour trip home nor

Five hours passed and still we had
made no landfall. Now we discov-
cred that something had gone askew
with the navigation instruments.

Handing me a rubber jacket, he
asked If I knew how to use one.

small windows were shattered.
1t. Smith banked again, overlook
the flying boat and for a minute we
flew side by side We fired. They

entering the Jap, but he continued
along with us.
Again bullets entered the long
fuselage of the Bit and again we
and they were separated. The next
maneuver brought us head on. His
guns streaming lead, the Jap
knocked one of our motors out of

showing two cylinders pierced. Other
bullets caused second of our four
motors to sputter.
Still our gunners squeezed their
triggers and it was surprising how
! much that Jap boat took without
wavering. No fire appeared from
his machine, which is unusual. We
were wavering because Of our power
loss. 1t. Smith made one more run.
We poured more lead into the boat
and then ducked into a convenient
cloud.
When we emerged there was no
Jap in sight, but whether We got
him or not no one knew. We turned
to make the long 400-mile run down
to Guadalcanal airport and to have
our ailing craft examined. Without

landing and found one engine USE

after temporary repairs. All night
mechanics worked. BY morning we

Conna||y Asks Gas Ration
Revision on Zone Basis

BY the Associated Press.
Senator Connally, Democrat, OF
Texas, carrying to President Roose-
welt the fight for larger gasoline
rations in the Southwest, asked yes
terday for revision on a zone basis.
"Rationing should be based on
common sense and good Judgment
rather than on arrogance and au-
tocracy," the Texans letter to the
President said.
"It further seems to me that the
country should be divided into
regions or zones dependent upon
the geography, distances between
points. available transportation ia
cilities and all other factors. There
is no sense in putting the whole
country in the same straitjacket.'
As for price regulations, Senator
Connally said many persons doubted
''the wisdom and necessity of many
OF the restrictive measures which
are being taken" He had received
complaints, he said, Of IAN undue
and tyrannical exercise of arbitrary
power on the part of representa-

Latin American Aid
In Spanish Diplomacy
Three Newspapers Win
Awards for Promoting
Inter-Americon Relations
BY the Associated Press.

6s the ASSoclateo Press.
NEW YORK, Dec. 10.-The Unit
ed States should assign to Latin
American allies a major role in war
diplomacy work in Spain and Por-
tugal, Erwin D. Canham, managing
editor of the Christian Science
Monitor, declared yesterday at the
fourth annual Maria Moors Cabot
convocation.
The convocation at Columbia Uni
versity was the occasion fora the
conferring of the Maria Moors
Babot prizes in journalism to three
newspapers and their editors for
outstanding promotion of inter-
American friendship.
The awards went to Mr.. Canham
and the Christian Monitor of Bos-
ton, to DR.. Angel Bohigas, managing
editor of La Nacion of Buenos Aires,
who accepted it on behalf of the
publisher, DR.. Luis Mitre, and to DR..
Alberto Las Places, foreign editor of
El Dia of Montevideo, Uruguay, who
received 1t on behalf of DR.. Lorenzi
Battle Pacheco The presentations
we're made by DR.. Nicholas Murray
Butler, president of Columbia.
Spain Is Bridgehead.
Pointing out that Spain was key
country in the strategy of a United
Nations victory, Mr.. Manham said it
would be "senseless" to keep diplo-
matte activities there exclusively
Anglo-SaXon.
why not associate our Latin
American Allies prominently in the
task of liaison there?" Mr. Canham
said. Presumably our French
friends will soon be able to handle
their own North African colonies,
but there will still be Spanish Mo-
rocco and the bridgehead into Eu-
rope which is the Iberian Peninsula.
U. S. Spirit Hailed.
Il do not mean that we or our AL
lies should seek in the least to vio-
late any nations neutrality he
said, but We are anxious that it
shall not be violated by others, to
our disadvantage. And in the task
of protecting Spain and Portugal
for their destiny as nations
we Anglo-Saxons must turn to Latin
America for indispensable help"
DR.. Bohigas, outlining historical
instances of United States and Latin
American nations interdependence
said that the spirit of Gettysburg
survives today in the youthful
armies of smiling men who have
taken on the enormous and unset
fish task of keeping the fires OF lib
erty burning over the dark shadows
Of the forces Of evil"
This. DR.. Bohigas declared was
"the source of a deep and abiding
emotion" to an American from the
South"

Jap Oil Gains Are
"DrOD in BHcket'

Crude oil production in the United
States in one week Of November 1871
exceeded the entire production Of pc
troleum In the first IL years Of the
American petroleum industry, from
1859 through 1859.
The average daily rate of produc-
ton during that November week was
1886, $50 barrels, the greatest daily av-
erage ever recorded. AT that rate, the
production record reached in the
United States in the about effort in
1918, the first full year Of World war
1, could be exceeded now in 81 days.
The entire annual production Of
crude petroleum now under Japanese
control in the Far East is equal only
to about one days production in the
United States. In Europe, Germany
and all the occupied countries have
total production Of crude oil equiva
lent only to about ii or II days pro-
duction at the United States Novem-
Der peak. These Japanese and German
figures do not include the large output
of synthetic and substitute fuels, but
the record U. S. average was made
with thousands Of the most prolific
wells producing substantially below
their maximum.

eminent failed to realize the possible
Reorganization Of the industry due 10
the confusion Of new priority regula-

throughout the nation there have been
few new locations and this cessation Of

In Michigan where there were ITO
wells drilling on 10 and 20-acre loca-

permit to complete them and the CO.

Must Government
NOW Wildcat for
NeEU Oil Fields?

The following clipping is from q
Spokane newspaper:
Lloyd Hawley is wondering what the
country is going to do for new oil
wells.
Small companies can't afford to
take the chance of getting dry holes, I"
he said, because their profits are so
reduced that they can't build up sur
pluses for exploration purposes. That
leaves the big companies to take all
the chances, and Of course, a new oil
well doesn't mean great deal to a
company that already has several hun
dred producers
an the old days it was possible to
get few hundred people together to
risk some capital in a drilling venture,
but the SEC has Just about wiped out
that form of individual initiative.

fortunes are about over"

WAR COUNCIL Is
TRYING TO SAVE
STRPPER WELLS

| Recommended measures for protect
/ ing the nations crude oil reserves
during the war and thereafter we're
made public by the Petroleum Industry
War Council. The council has sub
mitted the program to the office Of
petroleum co-ordinator.
It was prepared by a committee
consisting Of o. D. Donnell, chairman,
Frank Buttram, J. F. Drake, Walter
s. Hallahan. william f. Humphrey,
John M. Lovejoy. Charles P. McGaha,
Lawrence Wander Leck and H G.
Weiss.
The committee gave considerable at
tention to the question OF small wells,
and TO means OF preventing their
abandonment.
The report approved by the council
and made public by William r. Boyd,
Jr.. chairman, submitted the following
conclusions:
l. That additions to the nations
known oil reserves have shown a de-
clining trend for the past three or
four years.
2. That new reserves are needed in
order to meet indicated consumptive
demand without waste.
3. That there is an indicated trend
Of increased abandonment Of small
wells
4 That an increased number OF wells
must be drilled In order to discover
the same amount OF oil as formerly.
5. That premiums granted discovery
wells in the form of increased allow
ables are an incentive to exploration.
6. That adequate prices Of crude oil.
which give consideration to overall
costs, are essential to exploration in
centive and to extend the economic
life Of small wells
Z. That retention Of present statu-
tory percentage depletion allowance Is
essential to the above detectives.
