sttEi another horizon, other than
those so far producing win

this field.
Both of the dry holes were com
pleted by Pacific Petroleuns, on an
SO-acre lease lying squarely between
the five Schrock-F'ffer flowing
wells, and the gusher drilled In on
New Years day by Spencer & Liv.
ingston.
These wells are only few hun.
dred feet from the dry hole drilled
by the Standard of California sew
eral years ago, abandoned at SOS
and for years regarded as having
discounted the possibility of deep
production In Cat Creek. This well
had oil In what Is believed TO be
the same horizon as the Schrock-
Fifer wells, but made nothing on
test.
1t Is now regarded as prob
able that this we'll also drilled
into "a n0n-pOrous portion of
the Morrison sand, and that an
altogether different story might
have been written had Il been
drilled in a location a few hun
dred feet distant.
Casting some doubt on tho gen
eral belief that fault blocks, rather
than porosity, win govern deep
sand production in this field. Is
the fact that the Pacific Petroleums
wells checked practically on a level
with the Spencer e. Livingston
gusher, on the top Of the pay sand.
Pacific Petroleums No. 8, a di-
rect north offset to the big well,
topped the gusher sand at 1885, and
Pacific Petroleums No. 4, 440 feet
west of the No. 3, topped the sand
at 1910. Both are considerably low
er on surface than the Spencer e.
Livingston well, which got its pay
at 1859.
Pacific Petroleums No. 3 then
drilled down and topped a second
sand at 1470. Pacific Petroleums No.
4 topped this same sand at 4123.
Field men promptly dubbed
this sand the Filter sand, and
for time, after saturated cores
from this sand had been re-
covered I'm both wells, IL was be-
heved IL would yield CONNER

The resolution of absorbing interest was concerned with the reduction of the work-month from 240 to 180 hours as basic month in all classes of service, with time and a-half for overtime. There was overwhelming agreement that with the progressive mechanization of the railroads, 24O is much too long for a porter to work, stated A. Philip Randolph, the porters leader.
 A. Philip Randolph, M. P. Web ster, and Claude Grooms, End Vice President of the Chicago Division, were elected to represent the Brotherhood at the 66th Conven- tion of the American Federation of Labor, in Cicago, Illinois, October, 1946.

 Ostensibly invited to the Sep tember IT Yale Bowl scrub-varsity tilt to size up the Yale team, but actually to scrutinize Jackson, they saw Levi, skillfully eluding his op- ponents, run through a broken field for an eighty yard gain on one oc- casion and again for a forty yard touchdown, handling the ball three times all told.

 Let us remember and give full credit, too, to Coach Reggie Root, Jackson's mentor through the highlights of his Hillouse High athletic career and who will follow him to Yale as assistant coach un- der Chief Coach Howie O'Dell. The coach player relationship between these two marks an ideal instance of present and possible future good will in practical race relations and in better understanding all around. The Joe Louis-Mannie Seamon team is another workable mixed combo. Other great teams are pos sible in the future as bogey-man fears yield to good old democratic common sense.

|It'sLikeIhis..
By MARTY RICHARDSON

The three most dramatic - and ominous - headlines to appear in the newspapers since the end of the war with Japan were seen dur ing the week just past. The first was WALLACE CRITICIZES AMERICAN FOREIGN POLICY. The second was TRUMAN PUTS GAG ON WALLACE. The third, not yet verified but almost certain ly true, was WALLACE ASKED TO RESIGN BY TRUMAN.
 That Does It
 That does it. The cat is out of the bag. Truman, the vacillating, the weak, the befuddled bungler, has turned the only way that the Missouri haberdasher could be ex- pected to turn in the gravest world emergency we have faced in near ily a decade: he has turned to the line of South Carolina's bourbon Jimmie Byrnes for a line of Amer ican participation in the world peace scene, instead of toward the policies of Henry Agard Wallace, a man so far above BOTH figures in the Truman-Byrnes confederacy that it is remarkable they have not given him the axe long before this. The result, even this early, is al- ready intense confusion; only an act of God can prevent it now from becoming national chaos.
 Cotton Planter Gone Mad
 It was a dark day for the Unit ed States and the world in general when James Byrnes ascended to the helm of the American State De- partment. This post, which has in cluded in it's hallowed membership some of the worlds foremost state men, is about as foreign to any thing in the Byrnes background as the field of obstetrics would sud- denly become to me. A small-time in which only a tiny minority of his constituency is allowed to cast the predetermined vote for hand picked candidate, Byrnes lacks even the usual political experience of the ward-and- precinct politician who comes up in more democrat ic = and more American = sec tion. Truman, the frontman for the old Missouri machine, has a striking number of sinilarities to this South Carolina cotton-planter gone mad with world affairs dumped into his inadequate lap. The end product of their weird alliance has been a fanatical de- sire on the part of LittleMan Byrnes to get tough with Russia "a policy that becomes even the more fantastic when it is realized that, thanks to Truman, he has been empowered to speak for the nation.
 Not Byrnes' Idea
 Let's not lbe hasty, though; let's not give Byrnes credit for any originality in this fool policy. It is doubtful that a man of his calibre could have such an idea, asinine though it is. No, Byrnes is the spokesman, the tool, for group of people in this country and in England who were unhappy when the last war ended. They are un- happier by the hour as the other nations of the world, spearheaded by the great Russian Soviet, fight back their hopes of bringing into the open the already undeclared World War III. Britain, with it's phony labor government, supplies an adequate and ready supply of these war-wishers; it's colonial sys- tenn is folding up under it; there is an imminent danger that the British House of Lords might have to go to work for a living. These lazy buns in frock coats want war, and the sooner it comes, the farth- CT postponed is the dropping out of the bottom of all they hold

dear the exploitation of their fellows. There are powerful church forces who want war; with their fake cries of Stop Communism they carry the torch for a SUD- posedly more Christianized world presumably Christianized like the Italian world which raped helpless Ethiopia, with the Church's implied blessing, or the one of Franco Spain, which STILL is blessed. The American geniuses of high finance, naturally, want war. Every time they are stopped from hiking the prices of food stuffs dime pound, each time they are forced to share another penny of their imitation profits with the workmen who create their salable commodities, they see that war is the only possible salvation to their ways of life. These are the people who have provided the little South Carolina with his Get Tough With Russia philosophy; they are the ones whose strong hand motivated Harry Truman in his treatment of the one leader in the country who had the moral fibre to come out into the open with a frank discussion of the stu pidity of war-mongering.
 
 Kick Byrnes Out
 It would never have occurred to President Truman, of course, but far better thought than asking for Wallace's resignation might have been the volunteering of the Presidents own resignation. Tn all honesty I think MT. Truman would admit that the nation has fared far less than well under his admin | istration. Since that is too far fetched at the moment, though, the very least that we could ex- pect out of courageous executive would be that he kick James Byrnes out of the State Depart ment, now, before he can do any, thing more to jeopardize the peace of the world at the Paris confer er1ce. The Russians, whom Mr. Byrnes despises with a venom greater than any shown by the arch-serpent of diplomacy, Church. i'll, have had the honesty to oust their incompetents at the table of diplomacy. Aren't we as progress sive as they? If a private citizen were found cooking up a world war in his attic, he would be jailed. Why can't we at least call Mir. Byrnes home = to South Caro- lima.
 FDR Saw The Thing
 The late Franklin D. Roosevelt, | who carried around more world statesmanship in his watch-pockee that Truman and Byrnes have shown in their whole repertoire of foreign activity, foresaw what was coming four years ago. At Teher- an he told his son, after a partic- ularly war-mongering program by Churchill, that "The worst thing tat could happen to the peace of the postwar world would be a
 British-American alliance, against Russia" James Byrnes. the south ern Bourbon representative of the American people abroad, is spear heading this alliance. The British are gleeful over it. Truman, the one man in a position to deal . death blow to this insidious pro-
 gram, .disciplines WALLACE in- stead. And it is almost two years to election-day. Only the most care full vigilance by the American peo- pie, the most careful and positive action by them, can slave off the world holocaust being prepared AGAIN for us by the Scribes and Pharisees, the jerks and the pho nies, who carry our policies abroad l to the world in this period of in- l ternational crisis.
