Need Money

Demand that Montana oil prices
be advanced to make possible the
development of more production to
care for military and essential civil
ian use in this area was made this
week by the Montana Oil & Gas
Producers Association in resolu-
tons addressed to Montana repre-
sentatives in Congress, to PAW
officials, OPA officials and the
president.
Says the resolutions:
Montana OH and Gas Producers Associa-
ton respectfully submits on behalf OF
crude petroleum producers of Montana
that raise In the price OF crude oil IN
tect and promote production as an essen
tiai part Of the war EFFORT THIS statement
Is designed 20 present the case from the
production standpoint.
Producers fall into three classes. namely:
Class Major integrated producers.
These have their own refining and mar
keting facilities on q nationwide basis.
Class Independent integrated pro
daieers. These also have their own re-
filming and marketing facilities of more
or less local character.
Glass 3-Producers dependent only on
producing and selling crude oil and with
no refining and marketing facilities Of
their own.
Records of the Montana OIL Conserve
ton Board show that counting each field
separately there are IN Montana pro
ducers of the first class, rs producers
Of the second class, and 178 producers of
the third class. These records also show
that the total wells operated by these
three classes IN all fields are: Class IL

Two Wells I'm

Two wells in the Sweetgrass
Arch are today believed to be pene-
trating the top of the Devonian
formation, marking the beginning
of deeper drilling in Northern Mon

depths below $500 feet.
Tarrant-Wood Devonian test in
the Midway oil field is drilling in
Devonian at 1880 feet after having
found $50 feet Of Madison lime
much thicker than expected. A
marker at the top of the Devonian
is a black shale from 10 to 20 feet
thick. below very hard lime. This
shale was found at 2s70 feet, con-
tinuing to 1890. The lower half
smelled strongly of oil and the dis
celebration is believed to be due to
petroleum. At 1890 the drill went
back into flint-like dolomite the
drill cuttings of which smelled of
gas.

Army Describes How
Air Attacks Softened
Sicily for Invasion
BY the Associated Press,

The Army, casting its usual ret
icence to the winds, today put out q
blow by blow description of how its
air forces swept the skies of Axis
craft over Sicily. Sardinia and the
Italian boot in July and summed up
| with these statistics:
In four weeks American planes
flew 1883 offensive sorties in the
Mediterranean theater. A sortie is
flight by one plane
Bombers dropped 12,460 tons of
explosives.
Gunners destroyed 342 enemy
planes, probably destroyed 54 more.
Three Axis ships were sunk and
10 damaged.
American aircraft losses totaled
100.
High point was the bombing of
Rome by 272 heavy and 249 medium
bombers July 10. They cascaded
1,101 tons OF bombs on railroad
yards.
The Northwest African Air Forces,
commanded by Lit Gen. Carl Spaatz.
and the 9th Army Air Force under
Maj. Gen. Lewis H. Brereton, thus
cleared the Sicilian sky OF the
enemy's planes in July, blasted his
