NOn-Recourse
Looms Proposed
For Indicating

North Montana oil operators have
joined with Wyoming operators in pro
mitigating a plan for RFC loans to the
oil industry for financing validating,
under the plan of Senator o'Mahoney.
The original plan called upon operators
to mortgage their production in order
to finance prospecting The new plan
would provide non-recourse funds,
matching dollars with any operator
who wished to drill an approved wild
cat well The loan would be repaid in
the event of commercial production.
On their recent trip to Washington,
d. c., K. D. Pardee and Wilfred Ma
dean of Cut Bank met with sponsors
of the plan and gave their endorse
ment, later circulating petitions among
Montana operators.

PAW Asks IS
Cent Increase
In Oil Price

An increase of 35 cents per barrel
in the price Of crude has been recon-
mended by Harold Ickes, petroleum ad-
ministrator for war, and the proposal
is now in the hands of the OPA, accord
ing to James w. johnson of Shelby
who returned Tuesday morning from
Washington where he was summoned
to appear before the hearing Of the
Patman small business committee.
johnson states that the price increase
is being held up by Fuel Price Chief
Pike of OPA who, apparently alone, is
holding out against a price increase,
eontending that there is plenty Of pros
pecting for oil and that present prices
are adequate. His view is shared by
none Of the PAW and, so far as can
be ascertained, by Price Administrator
Brown.
Administrator Iekes announced that
he had Recommended ON April an
average increase Of 35 cents a barrel
for crude, ranging up to so cents in
some fields He pointed out in his letter
to OPA that validating must be slim
ulated to prevent an oil shortage; urged
that the price must be high enough
to make possible the drilling of margi-
nal locations and that the price must
allow the maintenance of stripper wells
which will otherwise be abandoned if
the price is not increased
Chairman Patman asked Iekes: "DO
you think the situation so alarming
now that an increase should 90 into
effect immediatelyf''
sT made the recommendation said
Iekes.
Pike indicated that he would hold
the matter up for two months and indi-
Gated that his decision would be mega
tive; that thereafter it would go to Eco
nomic Stabilizer Byrnes and would be
held up for another two months, by
which time the 1943 drilling season

Great Tests Ahead,
Stimson Warns in
Review Of War

Warning that the great decisive
tests are yet to come. Secretary Of
War Stimson today told his press
conferences, however, that the prog
resS achieved in two years of war
gives the Nation every reason for
encouragement and hope"
Not until the continent of Europe
is invaded, and we have met face
to face the remaining masses Of the
German troops-not until our Navy
has grappled with the powerful feet
of the Japanese. can we say that
we are passing through the period
of drag of this war and approach
ing its finish" the Secretary de-
clared.
Mr.. Stimson explained the "pe-
riod on the drag was reference
to summary of the wars outlook
that he had presented to news
conference just after the Pearl
Harbor attack. He then had divided
the war into three phases-the on
set, the drag, and the flnish-com-
menting that in the first it was
inevitable that the free govern
ments should be at disadvantage,
but that during the two succeed
ing periods. when it becomes the
contest of endurance, the democra-
cies win their victories and win the
war"
Mr.. Stimson today reviewed the
progress TO date. pointing out that
the first year was devoted to defen-
sive operations and trying to halt
advances Of the enemy. Then, he
said, we opened the second year with
"a very daring and very lucky at
tack and landing on the coasts Of
North Africa" and succeeded, with
the British, in wrestling initiative
from the Axis powers of Europe.
But he emphasized that the fight
ing to date was of a "perimeter
nature" that neither in Europe nor
the Pacific have our ground forces
met the main masses of enemy
troops. At this point he paid tribute
to Russia as the only one of the
Allies which has encountered the
main force Of Germany"
In the light of this brief sum-
mary the Secretary said, Il do not
think that we Americans can say
that our military forces have more
than entered upon the second period
of the war, the period of drag. when
the weight of combat and OF losses
bears heavily on the forces engaged"
On the home front, Mr.. Stimson
added, we cannot say that we have
even reached the period OF the drag
or its danger to our morale"

Storm Peril 10 Landin)
On Sicily Described
Al Meeting Of Bar

How a violent storm brought near
tragedy to our Sicilian invasion
forces was told to Federal Bar
Association members yesterday by
Comdr. Curtis Shears. N. S. NJ,
who has seen service in North At
lantic, Mediterranean and South
Pacific war zones.
Eighteen hours before the appoint
ed landing, waves produced by a
sudden windstorm swept the decks
Of 5000 craft, the greatest armada
ever assembled. No barge could be
launched.
I'VE had one of two choices. "
Comdr. Shears said Keep on our
course and pray for a cessation of
the storm or turn back and lose the
element of surprise. BY pm gale
prevailed. Paratroopers already had
left African bases. We could not
turn back. Only a miracle could
save us. Events were beyond human
control. Disaster as great as that
which overlook the Spanish armada
might be our fate.
Two hours later the sea was
calm. The miracle had happened
While our landing barges were be-
ing assembled, shore searchlights
played on us for a half hour, but
no fire came from shore batteries
They had not seen us, although we
expected to be shelled every min
ute. When zero hour arrived our
guns silenced the shore batteries in
Is minutes.
Next morning the German tank
divisions almost drove us back to
the sea. For the first time in the
history Of warfare, United States
cruisers were used to batter down
enemy tanks. Those 6-inch guns
succeeded in stopping the enemy
advance and enabled our ground
troops to advance miles and cap
ture a vital airfeld. With the
dawn came German Stukas.
We are learning fast, 1t took us

but at TaraWa the combined forces
