Texas Keeps 'em Pumping
With Oil for War Machine

AUSTIN, Tex.-U,H-When il
comes TO oil and gas, there is no
disputing the Importance OF
Texas production.
Aside from having within It's
borders the worlds largest oil
and gas fields known, the second
deepest oil well and the largest
gas cycling plant, Texas leads
the nation in production OF oil,
natural gas and distillates.
The majority of Texas petrol
cum liquids 60 to the war effort,
and for several months this pro-
duction has reached the all-time
record peak of more than 1000
900 barrels daily-an amount
undreamed of in the industry a
few years ago.
EAST TEXAS LARGEST
From the worlds largest oil
field-East Texas-within the IA
years since its discovery there
have been nearly 1000, 100000
barrels produced. Current pro-
duction is about $4,000 barrels
daily, and reserves are estimated
at about 100000, 900 barrels.
But the worlds second deep
est oil we'll is not in the East
Texas field. 1t is near Fort
Stockton, several hundred miles
away in West Texas. The well,
recently completed, is 1929
feet deep. At Taft, Cal, the
worlds deepest we'll goes down
six feet more.
The states greatest oil pro-
ducing areas are located along
the Gulf Coast and in West
Texas. Allowable production for
the Gulf Coast region is about
$4,000 barrels of oil daily, and
for the West Texas area-Where
much new production has been
discovered-it is about 100000
barrels daily.

about Secretary of State Hull,
who has been i'll, he said he
supposed Hull would be back at

In response to a question, the
President said he had not re-
ceived any direct word from
Governor Dewey since the cleo
ton. When Dewey conceded de-
feat, he extended his good wish
es to the President by radio. Mr..
Roosevelt then sent him a tele-
gram of thanks.
A quarter million soaked
citizens turned out to welcome

Preceded by a flying V for

Seek Youth
in Attack on
School Girl

VAN DYKE - Township po-
lice today were looking for a
boy who allegedly attempted a
criminal attack on a l6-year-old
Center Line school girl, Thurs
day morning, and robbed her of
her purse.
The girl told township police
that she was on her way to
school in Van Dyke, between
7:30 and 8 a. m, yesterday,
while it was still dark. She said
that at the corner of Federal and
Republic avenues, a boy struck
her from behind, hitting her on
the head, face and stomach. APP
parently scared by the girls
screams, the youth took her
purse, containing $11 in War
stamps and small change, and
fled. The boy was described as
being about 16 years old, five
feet and two inches in height,
and wearing a blue or black
mackinaw.

BREAK STALEMATE

General MaCArthur's COM
munique today disclosed Amer
lean troops broke a four-day
Stalemate in the battle for Or
moe with substantial gains on
wide front"
Elements of the u S. 96th In
fantry Division, advancing east
into the foothills of the range
east of Ormoc, captured enemy
strongpoints as patrols pushed
dep into the hills.
The Nipponese' first oppor-
tunity to land endorsements
came Oct. 25 when every Amer
lean Naval and Air unit aVaila-
bic was engaged in gripping the
large Japanese fleet which came
out from the north and south.
There was no time TO watch for
japanese requirements when
the entire Philippine campaign
was at stake in one naval battle.
HAMPERED BY STORM
Early this month they took
quick advantage Of a threaten
ing tropical hurricane and push
ed in still more fresh troops and
equipment. These breaks proba-
bly, won't occur for the Japa-
nese again, but they were
breaks that will multiply the
price in American lives and mo-
ney which must be paid to win
initial stages of the battle for
the Philippines.
While the announcement of
the reinforcements in such
strength appeared abrupt, veil
ed warnings had been given in
at least five communicates. No
correspondent, however, was
prepared for a total more than
four times the highest previous
ly given estimate.

oonlzed, os we'll as Navy
Mothers, Here il is:
Dear d. A: There are two
columns l unusually read first
when l get my Monitor-Leader:
your human-interest column and
With the Colors'. l want TO
praise you for once in a while
having the nerve 10 mention the
poor old fathers as due any re-
spect or consideration from
their children in the service or
other folks.
Not that I don't consider
mothers, as whole, for their
sacred love and all the nice
things said about them.
Although l have practical
ly reared two bays, both now
in the L. S. Navy in the South
west Pacific, since they were
small children, l am not look
ing for any praise. But l am
mighty proud of my boys.
What hurts Is this; the faith
ers are not entitled to any
credit or recognition for their
effort in winning the war. Ii
seems like everything has to
be done through an organiza-
tons mothers belong to.
why should my boys and
thousands of others like them
be left out of everything be-
cause they have no mother to
push for them. Fathers
don't count a darn bit, or it
seems that way, except to kick
in on Tag Days and anytime they
need donations, although their
sons are never remembered even
with card.
Don't you think Dads love
their boys and miss them?
Especially when the father
has tried to be a pal, and
mother and father combined,
to them. / miss mine more
than most mothers, especially
the last one to leave, for I'm
all alone now. The last one
was with me wherever l went.
