Wesley E. Disney, Western Oil and
Gas Association Washington repre-
sentative warned recently. The one
time Oklahoma representative was
principal speaker at the associa-
tons annual meeting in the Bilt-

During the war Disney reported,
discoveries totaled only about $780,
100000 barrels as compared with g.
800,000000 barrels consumption, re-
ducing reserves by 1000 900 900 to a
present $4,000, 0O0, 600.
About IS percent of wildcat wells
were dry holes, he added. Gas re-
serves, he stated, are lao triIlion
cubic feet, having increased two
thirds in the last five years.
Disney predicted congress would
legislate Federal quit claims of
tidewater lands, thus giving full
title to the states to a three-mile
off-shOre limit.

of the mining division of the War

DON'T QUIT
BY RUTH TAYLOR

There are times when doubt
and Encouragement confront even
the most Valiant-when we seem
up against a stone wall in which
there is no gate. We see no way
out of our immediate problems,
and these swamp us - mentally
and spiritually.
Then is the time to stop and
take stock of the situation. To
look at things in their truer
perspective, to see what in our
own thoughts is the stumbling
block.
1t was Shakespeare who said
"Our doubts are traitods, and
make us lose the good we oft
might win by fearing to attempt"
Long before him, Seneca had
said "A great pilot can sail even
when his sail is rent" To both
men the cure for defeat - for
doubt and encouragement 49, was
action.
When those three enemies con-
front you think not What can
| do" But what can | do?"
There may not seem to be
way out but there is always
a way up. Pause and look up.
Turn your thoughts to the etern-
tiles. Pray not for relief but for
guidance. Still your soul for a
while. And then return to your
problem.
Consider is not as a stumbling
block, but as an opportunity -
an opportunity for your gain IN
strength in the solving. A chall-
enge to use your God.given intel
ligence.
If you tackle your difficulties
in this manner. you will be
shown what to do. You will be
able - by first mastering YOUR
self - to face the issue square.
ly and to make your own deci-
sions honestly and wisely.
Be not afraid of the outcome
Your fear is of your own ability
not of outside circumstances
Have faith in yourself and go
ahead. Don't be afraid of doing
too much. 1t is better to wear
out than to rust out.
There is something you can do
Decide what it is - and do III
Success is failure turned in
side out
The silver tint of the clouds of
doubt,
And you never can tell how
close you are,
1t may be near when it seems
afar;
So stick to the fight when
you're hardest hit -
Its when things seem worst that
you must not quit"

Jim Crow Is Barred
From Wertham's Clinic
BY Sidney M. katz


Tears rolled down the 16-year-
old colored boys face when he
heard the judge pass sentence.
Three years was long, long,
time. AS he stood there crying.
he looked like pitiful waif OF
ten.
Il don't enjoy sending you
away" said the Judge of the Har-
len court, but | cant overlook
the fact that you have attacked
an innocent person with a knife. -
The boys mother sobbed bit
terly as he was led away. Later,
she waited in the judges chamber
to have talk with him.
My Freddie has never been
we'll" she told him. always act
in kind funny. That boy needed
special kind of doctor. What
could | do for him"
The judge shrugged his should
ers. I'm sorry, Madam. sympa-
thize with you, but there's nothing
! can do about it at this stage"
This boy was only one of a
long procession of Harlem young
peoples sentenced for crimes they
were doomed, by circumstance and
environment, to commit. For years,
DR.. Frederic Wertham, an inter-
nationally known New York psy-
chiatrist, had watched them.
What else could one expect?"
he asked. Harlem's people were
packed - 1900 to the acre - into
filthy, decaying tenements.
Boys and girls, eager for better
homes and decent jobs and un-
able to attain them, became
frustrated, They formed gangs to
find excitement and to procure,
whenever possible, a few dollars
for spending money. All too oft
en-, they ended up in the police
station.
If these youngsters could con-
suit a psychiatrist while they are
unhappy but still not delinquent"
thought Dr. Wertham, they could
be kept out of Jail, families
wouldn't be broken up, and VOL
ence would be reduced"
But where could a Negro find
a psychiatrist? Most institutions
with proper facilities hang up the
Not Wanted" sign when they
are approached by colored man.
Recently, seven private agencies
refused outright to accept a public
grant if they had to treat Negroes.
Negroes who did succeed in
gaining access to the clinic OF a
large public hospital were hurt

easily have been a bruise. 1t was
so faint that unless she had been

rather, early this morning?" she
asked, her voice level, quiet,

Tracy's chair dropped back a

"And why should they, if Dan

obviously attempting burglary?'
Ann demanded.
ooh, we'll, it seems a little odd
that burglar would break into g

the householder with his own

He waited for that to sink in
