operators held back. The quest
finally ended In 1914, when Resolute
by agreeing 70 assume the entire
risk of loss In the event of failure,
entered into an arrangement with
General Petroleum which made pos
sible completion of the well aban-
doned by Hawley. Drilling was re
stunned last September, followed by
the present discovery.
Peters first became interested in
oil when he organized the Home
stake Oil Co. in 1920. This company
operated first in Cat Creek and
later in Kevin-SUnburst During
its years of activity the Homestake
paid more than 81 100000 in divi-
dends. Peters resigned from the
presidency of the Homestake in
1925 and later started the well in
which oil was discovered in the
Frannie, Wyo., field. Later he or
ganized the Resolute, which found
oil in Badger Basin, and also oper-
ated with relative success In Texas
and West Virginia.
THE Badger Basin discovery was
drilled to 8,729 feet, the deepest pro
ducing well ever drilled with cable
tools. Up to now the field has pro-
duced more than 100000 barrels of
oil. The company operates a small
refinery in the field.
Associated with Peters in Reso-
lutte are number of Great Falls
men, among them Russell Strain
and A. w. Strain of the Strain Bros.
store. Both have been connected
with the management of the COM
pany since it was organized The
late DR.. E. NJ. Porter owned one of

The high gravity and excellent

to exercise its option to acquire

GAS feet, and then began flowing.
Now it's quite a different story.
Julius Peters is quite a person,
you'll discover If you listen in on
the conversations in Billings hotel
lobbies.
Giving an interesting insight into
some of the background that pre-
coded discovery of oil in the Clark's
Fork we'll, the Great Falls Leader
said Wednesday:
THE discovery was the result of
IL years of effort by Peters, repre-
senting Resolute, and his predeces-
SOrs on the ground to procure a
test of the structure. In 1882, Her
bert A. Stokes, formerly of Billings
and now a resident of Los Angeles,
first recognized the structural fea-
lures of the area and with Charles
M. Rath and the late Charles T.
Lupton completed a survey and
map. Stokes then attempted to get
a test drilled, but years of effort
had no success.
Peters, his faith in the Big Horn
Basin stemming from Resolute's
discovery and development of the
Badger Basin field, nine miles
southwest of Clark's Fork, took
over in 1871. His first efforts met
with no better success, but in 1912
he interested John B. Hawley, in
ternationally known industrialist
and owner of the Northern Ord
nance Co. of Minneapolis. Hawley
agreed to drill the Clark's Fork
test to $500 and also to put down
two other wells on proved ground
IN Badger Basin. But he stipulated
that he could pay all accrued ex-
penses at any time and quit.
And quit he did. Hawley drilled
one Badger Basin well to 100 feet,
some 5000 feet above production,
and put the Clark's Fork test down
to 1890. At that point he paid all
expenses in full, removed his equip
ment and entered into an explora-
ton arrangement with Carter Oil.
Since then he reputedly has spent
$4,000, 900 drilling around 400 wild
cat wells. His best, and only, find
in Montana was in the Gage field.
After Hawley's withdrawal, Res
olute completed the Badger Basin
well and found production To date
the well has produced more than
10000 barrels of high gravity crude
Clark'S Fork test were placed before
Clark's Fork test was placed before
virtually every major oil company
in the country. Some negotiations
seemed promising for time, but
in the end they all failed. A great
obstacle lay in one geologic fea
ture. The east end of the structure
as now finally determined, is closed
by concealed fault extending be
tween Clark's Fork and Elk Basin
on the southeast, and Badger Basin
on the southwest The fault has /;
minimum displacement of 500 feet
Stokes, Lupton and Rath located
and identified the fault by correla
ton and Peters believed their find
ings were correct, but big compan,
biologists would not concur. A re
connaissance seismographic surve,
substantially proved that the faul
theory was right, but still the BIZ

No Longer Based
On Color Of Skin
Bv IRRELEVANT w. ANDERSON

HEADQUARTERS EUROPEAN
TYFATFR OF OPERATIONS
(ANP)-It's a funny thing how 1t
happens, but there is something
about this thing known as shell
fire" which breaches a brand-neW
gospel to the rabid ant1-race eH-
ponents, and the guys who nave
been tactleSsly demonstrating the
wicked and venomous demon OF
racial strife are taxing beating
in the combat zone where the mea-
sure of men is now being accepted
by what the men are, and not by
the color Of their skins, regardless
Of rank.
The everlasting truth Of this can
very easily be seen in the forward
areas, and in the rear zone hos
pitfalls where the wounded from
those advanced areas are brought
for treatment.
Up in the front pne zones color
ed and white service troops are
working side by side, doing all
sorts of jobs, from general labor
to specialized tactical operations,
and there hasn't been single
case of even difference of opinion
as to how it should be done.
The tide of common sense has
turned SO strongly that there isn't
a chance for "race-baiters" to get
their dirty work in, and so Ameri-
cans can take at 100 per cent face
, value the recent statements of
Brig. Gen. Benjamin Q. Davis in
which he extolled the examples
of splendid cooperation between
the white and colored troops in
the combat zone.
Even in the hospitals, cases have
been seen where men who weeks
ago would have slain each other
in racial scraps have come back
: from their baptism of fire with
an entirely different feeling, ano
with a spirit of comradeship which
lis marvellous and inspiring to OBJ
serve.
It makes one think, at once
how fine it would be if the race
batters Of both groups could be
thrust into these combat zones
and given a course of indoctrina-
ton to the accompaniment of the
Screaming Minnies," the explosion
of Jerry bombs, and the rat-tat-
tat of the enemy automatic pistol.
And, the funny part about it, is
that the looks On the faces of these
men who have faced death show
without question that they are
absolutely sincere, and it is no put
on" feeling. Yes, the front line
of fire is a great teacher and build
er of fine race relations. Of that
the combat troops are now certain,
despite the difference months ago.

Postwar FEPC
Bill To Go To
Full Committee
Hearings Will
Soon End, Says
Senator Chavez
BY HARRY S. McALPIN
washington Bureau, Atlanta
Daily World and NNPA)

WASHINGTON, D. C.-Senator
Chavez (D-N. M wednesday de-
clared the subcommittee holding
hearings on a permanent FEPC
hopes to present the bill to the
full labor committee cat the ear
Hest possible" moment.
He read a statement from Arch
bishop Robert E. Lucey of San
Antonio in which the bishop urged
a permanent FEPC, saying Men
of color have the right to pity
their brothers who so debaSe them
selves as to deprive their fellow
citizens of God-given rights"
Miss Thelma Stevens Of New
York, representing Methodist woIn-
en-, told the committee the Negro
soldier, returning to her home
state of Mississippi, must have
the same chance of getting job
as a white veteran
Other witnesses stressed the
need for permanent FEPC to
avert the possibility of riot in the
post war period. Clarence Ander-
son, secretary of the District Coun-
Gil on Fair Employment Practices,
testified: Looking forward to the
postwar period, we in Detroit are
nervous. We get the filters. We
feel that we are sitting on a pow
der keg. The race triot of last
summer is still fresh in our memo
ry. We shudder at the thought
of discrimination and strife which
may arise in the consequent lay
off and rehiring if we are then
without an FEPC TO maintain
order"
Rev. Aaron S. Gilmartin speak
ing for the American Unitarian
Association and the Workers De-
Tense League, declared that with
out an FEPC the United States
could expect q post war "wave of
violence and terrorism against the
Negro, the Mexican and others
many times worse than that Of
1919"
