It's not by chance that United Nations fiers
have won such complete mastery of the air. Our
men are better Grandchildren planes are better
armed-aiming devices and bombsights are
unexcelled
But another factor of tremendous Importance
is the fighting fuel that powers our planes.
Every week, millions of gallons of high.octane
aviation fuel flow from Sunoco rehneries to
the battlefronts of the world.
The high quality as we'll as the huge quantity of
our output has been made possible largely by
Dynafuel-an exclusive development of
Sunoco engineers and chemists.
What is Dyndfuel?
Dynafuel more than gasoline 1t is super aviation
fuel concentrate, made entirely from petroleum and
specially processed in order to produce the greatest
possible power.
What Makes Dyndfuel so Powerful?
1t contains larger percentage of certain ingredients
which have extraordinary power.producng qualities.
That is why Dynauel tests 500 higher in power than
u s. standard 100.octane test fuel.

wv ASHINGTON, Dee. 14-No doubt Presl-
w dent Roosevelt viii make a frank report
on the Cairo and Teheran conferences when
he appears before Congress on his return. 1t
is due the American people, especially IN view
of the represslve measures taken against the
press m, connection with those conferences
But even SO, IN a country governed IN the
last analysis by public opinion. II IS not deslr-
able that the line of communication between
the rulers and the ruled be choked down to the
point that we are now forced TO accept IN con-
neGtlon with these conferences
TT6SidCnt Roosevelt has his own special
reporter along with his party Maj George f.
Durno, former International News Sereice-eeF-
respondent AT the White House We all know
George Durno. and he is an excellent reporter
Why couldn't we have George Dunno, working
for the International News Service, along as
reporter instead George Durno, major IN
The air corps? In other words. why cannot the
independent press be allowed to do the first
hand reporting?
THE oppressive measures taken against ac-;
L credited American correspondents in Cairo

TEHERAN is an ugly story so far as the

THE conference at Teheran which

Elk Hills Oil Contract
Sound Conservation,
Geo|ogist Testifies
By the Associated Press.

Defending the Standard Oil-Navy
Department contract for development
of the Elk Hills petroleum reserve,
Ralph w. Richards, staff geologist
of the United States Geological Sur
vey, told the House Lands Commit
tee today the contract was q sound
conservation measure.
He maintained that 1t gave the
Government control of reserve oil in
the field and insured these reserves
for the future.
Mr.. Richards was loaned to the
Navy Department in l941 to survey
the field.
While the Standard company has
estimated net value Of the field at
approximately s145, 100000. Mr.. Rich
ards submitted his estimate at about
s20,O00,O0O.
Questioned by committee members
as to the wide difference. the geolo-
gist told the committee not to take
his figures too seriously"
He added that his figures were
designed to make a startling COM
parison" for negotiation purposes.
Yesterday he declined to reveal
his evaluation of the entire reserve
on the grounds it would give in
formation to Standard to the detri-
ment of the Government in any
ultimate condemnation suit.
Today he opposed condemnation
proceedings, arguing that it might
cost the Government $216,000,000.
the gross value set on the area by
Standard, or even more
Differing from testimony offered
by previous witnesses, he contended
that the Secretary of the Navy
would have the final say in any re-
adjustment of terms of repayment
of the Navy's share of oil produced.
Norman Li,tell Assistant Attorney
General previously told the COM
mittee that Standard would have
to agree to any readjustment sug-
gested by the Navy.
