The first good producing well Of the
year l943 was completed this week by
The Texas company on the old Sarah
Swears farm in the Baker Howling pool,

Industry Tries
But FoiIs to Get
More New Fields

survey by the PAW shows that il
is getting more difficult to find new
oil pools In l941, two out of every 10
wildcats discovered new fields. In 1912
only two ont of every % wildcats dis
covered new fields. The figures were
342 new fields discovered in 1941 from
drilling 1894 wildcat wells versus 261
new fields discovered in 1912 from
drilling wildcats.
1t wasn't because the industry did not
try that oil supplies are diminishing,
says the PAW report. The total num-
Der of wells drilled in 1892 decreased
40 percent from 194l, owing to scarcity
of steel, but the number of wildcat wells
declined only percent.

Nay Be Job for
WU Department

North Montana producers and
refiners are alarmed over the dan
ger of the paved highway north
through the Kelvin oil field to
the Canadian border, owing to the
lack of highway funds to main
tain the surface. The government
has forced refiners to use the high
way rather than ship by rail and
the heavy truck traffic is giving
the road out Of the oil fields a
terrific beating. Unless emergency
funds can be secured to care for
this road it viii not be possible
to maintain normal traffic, with
resultant injury to the war effort.

Contracts MuY
Be Voided by
PAW Regulation

Petroleum products dealers read much
Significance into Petroleum Regulation
No ] which provides that the govern

riding any existing contracts. Some of
the big companies in Montana are OF
Grating on 30-day contracts, on that
account. Under the regulation the gov
ernment may direct refinery to divert
all Of its products to a given market,
caneeling all Of its contractural rela-

RFC Loans
For Oil Men
Are Available

Federal loans for oil development are
now authorized and available to Mon
tana and Wyoming oil operators, ae-
cording to letter received by The
Journal from Senator Joseph C. O'Ma-
honey of Wyoming.
His letter says:
"With reference to your letter of
February 18th, let me advise you that
application for loan for the develop
ment of oil should be filed with Mr.
Vernon W. POmeroy, acting manager,
Reconstruction Finance Corporation,
Helena, Montana for processing
through regular channels to Washing
ton"
While no specific direction was given,
it is understood that Wyoming applica-
tions should go through RFC offices at
Casper or at Sheridan.
Earlier Washington adviees said that
RFC loans would be made as are mining
loans. No word has been received from
Helena regarding the provision of
forms.

Record Yield of
Oil Doesn't Meet
Demands Of WU

The final summary of U. s. Bureau of
Mines for l941 showed a record produe
ton Of 1,402, 22s, 900 barrels in 1871,
which was percent above 1910. The
year 1912 had production about l per
cent less than the record yield Of 194l.
Yet the market caused a decline Of 49,
600 900 barrels in 1941 and a further
withdrawal of 100000 barrels in
1912 storage Oil fields of the United
States were unable to produce enough
oil to care for the demands Of meehan-

Alexandra Hospital
Expansion Project
To Start Tomorrow

Demolition of the Daingerfield
house on Washington and Newton
streets, formerly used as nurses
home by the Alexandria Hospital
will begin tomorrow to permit con-
struction of an east wing of the
hospital.
Although included in the original
application for priority and funds
for the hospital addition, the east
wing was taken out of the plan and
construction of north wing only
was permitted.
Robert G. Whitton, hospital ad-
mlnistrator, said the need for the
additional space was so apparent
that reapplication was made. Priori-
ties were granted by the War Pro-
duction Board last week at the same
time the Federal Works Agency gave
approval for use of SAL 900 of Lam
ham Act funds for the addition.

ton which is expected to be COM

The building will correspond to the

granted for only a basement and
first floor, the upper floors will not
be constructed at this time.

ID. G. Pilots Plane Unscothed
|On 7 Raids Amid HEAVY Flax
1t. Roy c. HoIben
Hit jap Targets
On Each Foruy

A 23-year-old Marine Corps pilot
from the District-Lt. Ray C. HOLDEN
of 430 New Jersey avenue S.E-last
night was credited officially with
having made seven divebombing
raids through intense Japanse anti
aircraft fire in the Solomon Islands
without receiving bullet or shrapnel
hole in his plane.
1t. Holben's record was reported
in a delayed dispatch from Guadal-
canal, written by 1t. William K.
Holt, Marine Corps combat cor
respondent, and released through the
Navy Department.
On his seven missions, the 23-year-
old pilot flew through some of the
toughest antiaircraft rings in the
Solomons to plant 1000 pound bombs
on enemy position, the dispatch said
Made Hit on Each Raid.
Japanese gun emplacements, fuel
and supply dumps, bivouac areas,
barges and barracks on Bougainville,
Ballale and Kolombangara Islands
have been targets for his bombing
and strafing. Official reports credit
1t. HOLDEN with hits in the assigned
area on each mission, he dispatch
said.
His greatest thrill, according to
the dispatch, came during massive
130-plan raid that leveled Japanese
installations on Ballale Island, the
Japs' advanced fighter base at
Kahili, Bougainville Island.
After we nosed over at about
10000 feet and began our dive" 1t.
HOLDEN related, "the sky was black
with antiaircraft puffs and the
whole island seemed to be one huge
flash from the guns banging away
at us.
Japs Fled to Bushes.
Just before I released my bombs,
I could see the Japs beating into

after our division dumped our eggs

circle of antiaircraft guns. AS we
Joined up for the trip home, Ballale
looked like one huge crater"
On subsequent missions, 1t. Hol-
ben scored direct hits on large
building near Villa airdrome on Kol-
ombangara Island and a gun en-
placement at Kahili.

Arnold Line, Drivers
Fail 10 Agree at
First Conference

Attempts to settle the wage dis
pute which led to a one-day strik,
on the Arnold Operated Bus Line
in Arlington Friday, will be re.
sumed before War Labor Boare
panel Tuesday after halliday ses.
sion yesterday failed to produce al
agreement.
A company spokesman said the
line stood by its offer of a scent
an-hour wage increase in the con.
tract now being negotiated, while
the union was firm in it's demands
for a 14-cent boost. Present rates
are II cents an hour for the first
year and 81 cents thereafter.
The company spokesman said the
14-cent increase could not be
granted because it would violate the
Little Steel formula, since operators
he'd been given wage increases OF
81 per cent since January l.. 1941
Cite Pay on Other Lines.
o. B. Hiner, president of the
mion-Local 1919 of the AFI
Amalgamated Association of Street
Electric Railway and Motor Coach
Employees of America said the
unions position was that it wanted
parity with operators on other lines
in the metropolitan area.
DRIVERS on the Alexandria, Bar
croft and Washington line" he said
"are getting 90 cents an hour anc
have obtained scent increase
while Capital Transit operators are
getting 95 cents an hour now anc
have gotten a scent increase that
will bring them to 81 an hour
Even with a 14-cent increase, We
still would be getting less than men
on either of the other lines"
The company, Mr.. Hiner contin-
ued, claims it's in the red. If it's
not making money now, then there
must be something wrong"
Mr.. Hiner said that the union
intended to stick by our guns, and
those guns are loaded"
He added, however, that the union
planned no breach of the Today
truce that ended the strike yester-
day after 10000 commuters who ride
the Arnold buses had been forced
to hitch-hike or to arrange for rides
to and from work Friday and to
work yesterday.
Service Resumed Quickly.
Bus service on all the lines routes
to Arlington and Fairfax Counties
was back to normal shortly after
noon yesterday. Drivers reported for
work at 9 am. They voted to end
the strike at a meeting that be-
gan at 5 am. The meeting fol-
lowed a telegram sent to union Off
cials by Carl R. Schedler, WLB dep
uty director, telling them that WLB
could not act on the contract pro-
posals while the men remained
away from their jobs.
Despite the walkout, Virginians
who ride the Arnold buses managed
to get to swork, and Government
departments reported little or nc
absenteeism. The friendly co-opera-
tion of motorists who picked up
standees at the bus stops in the
morning and at Rcsslyn Circle in
the evenings served in large meas
ure to offset tie effects of TIE
stoppage. The War and Navy De
partments also made de-sharing
arrangements for their employees.
Meanwhile, labor negotiations af-
fecting another line-the Arlington
& Fairfax Motor Transportation Co.
were before the Labor Department
Cancellation Service, according to
Franklin X. Lane president of the
firm.
