Call Rotary
To Rescue OF
Cable Tools

Rotary tools have been called to the
rescue of lost string Of cable tools in
a Tribal pool well of Cut Bank field
known as Trigood-Tribal 23O No. 4. This
well is swabbing at the rate Of 240 Dbl
per day while work of fishing is in
operation. In the belief that it will be
a larger well with the lost tools re-
moved, the owners have ordered a TO
tary shipped from Wyoming to either
mill off the bowl from a slip socket
which was lost also in the effort to
recover the lost string of tools, or to
drill new hole into the sand by cut
ting through the side of the casing.
This is the first time that a rotary
has been called to the rescue Of a cable
tools hole in Montana
The sensational Tribal pool, south ex-
tension to Cut Bank, had no compile
tions this week Two wells in the north
end of the field completed by Santa

BY the Associated Press.
Secretary Of State Hull, comment
ing today on Prime Minister
Churchill'S broadcast. said continued
discussion OF the fundamentals of
conditions and problems facing the
United Nations is necessary.
He was asked at a press confer
ence if he agreed with the Prime
Minister'S suggestion that no de-
tailed discussion Of postwar political
problems should be undertaken un-
til after Hitler's defeat. He replied
he understood the Prime Minister s
view is that nothing in the way of a
blueprint OF postwar organlzatio is
practicable until later stage of the
war.
In the meantime. Mr Hull empha-
sized, 1t is only wise that Statemen
and governments and peoples should
be revolving in their minds the
fundamentals Of conditions and
problems reavealed TO them as the
war goes on.
1t should be hoped. ne added, that
whatever is said or done in this
respect would have in mind the
stimulation and not the handicap
ping Of the military effort.
Mr., Hull, asked if he thought any
useful purpose could be served at
this time by Senate resolution ad-
vocating American adherance to a
postwar collective security organiza-
ton, said such a resolution would
