Rotarians Hear
Of Oil Outlook
In Valley Areas

The belief that there is only
minor chance of oil being located
in Imperial county was expressed
Thursday by F. D. Bode, petroleum
geologist.
Bode, who is on temporary leave
of absence from California Institute
of Technology and employed by the
Texas company expressed this as
his opinion in an address before
the FL Centre Rotary club at its
Thursday noon meeting.
He explained the modern, scien-
tific methods used in searching for
oil and related efforts of his and
other companies to locate what
might be oil structures below the
surface of Imperial Valley.
Theer is great need, Bode said
for new oil fields on the Pacific
coast. Test wells are expensive
and the more than one hundred
drilled in California at a cost ap-
proximating $4,000 each, have re-
vealed only one new oil field.
Odds are thus very small, he said,
that an oil producing sand may be
located locally. He gave as his
further opion that the chances for
finding natural gas might be greater
than the expectancy of locating oil.
Frank Roberts of the same COM
pany presented motion picture
explaining oil refining methods
Roberts and Bode were accompanied
by G.. r. Couper, of the land lease
department who is in the valley
supervising leases. The program
was arranged by M. o. Simms. val
ley distributor for the firm.
Music for the program was in
the form of several vocal solos by
E. E. Stidham. of the Pioneer Title
Investment and Trust company
home office, with Mrs. Eugene Wa
terman accompanying at the piano.

throughout the meeting.

5. F. Machinists
Ordered TO
Report TO NWLB

SAN FRANCISCO, May 5. (UP)-
San Francisco bay area AFL and
CIO machinists unions who have
refused to obey national war labor
board directives on ship repair wage
rate and overtime work disputes
have been ordered to appear before
the NWLB in Washington Saturday
the regional WLB announced Fri
day.
The national boards kilograms
to the unions said that unless the
board was officially advised of COM
pliance with the directives, union
representatives should appear at
the hearing at 10 a. m Saturday.
A regional board spokesman here
forecast that the case would be
certified to President Roosevelt in
the event the unions further re-
fused to obey the directives.
Membership meetings of both
unions have reiterated their stand
that they should be paid $1.34 per
hour, the repair work rate, for work
on newly constructed navy and
maritime commission ships in dry
dock after test runs.
The machinists thus continued
to defy NWLB orders that they
complete repairs ON a navy net
tender and Kaiser-constructed cargo
ship, now in drydock, at the new
construction rate of 81 30 per hour.
