BARROW OIL NOT IN COMMERCIAL
 QUANTITY, REPORT
Drilling Continues Under Navy Which Remains
 Close Mouth

WASHINGTON. Feb. -tR-The Navy reports it has found oil in commercial quality but not in com mercial quantity in its explorations near Point Barrow. Alaska.
 It said today that drilling is pro ceeding the year around with an average of 300 workers currently em- ployed on the project in the Naval Oil Reserve number four.
 The Navy continues close-mouth- ed about it's oil exploration program. A year ago it told a House Appro- priations Committee that it wanted the work kept a secret and gave its report to the Committee in confi- dence. It was not published in the report of the hearings on the Navy appropriations bill
 A spokesman for the Navy said this week that the explorations in the Arctic oil Reserve, undertaken three years ago, cannot be complet- ed this year. He said additional time and funds will be asked of Congress this year.
 Ire spokesman said that while Drilling has gone on the year around heavy machinery can be moved only in winter when the ground is frozen. He said the number of employees varied with the season of the year.
 He declined to estimate how much will be required to complete the pro ject or how much already has been spent.

 " ASHINGTON - Harry Tru- man has the patience of Job when it comes to his likable, grand standing, trouble-making military aide, Harry Vaughan. But he nearly lost his patience-for keeps when Vaughan tried to promote himself to be top White House aide last week. In fact, Vaughan came very near promoting himself right out of job.
 Here's the inside story of what happened:
 Vaughan handed the President a slip Of paper purportedly announc- ing the appointment of Col Robert B. Landry as the new White House aide for the Air Forces. On the slip of paper, Vaughan had also listed himself as Chief Armed Forces Aide and Coordinator of Veterans Affairs The other Army, Navy and Air Force aides were listed as his assistants. This was a new departure in White House history, since hitherto all White House aides have been of equal rank There has been no top boss.
 The President glanced at Waugh ans handiwork, but did not read 1.-the same mistake he made when Henry Wallace sent him his speech on Russia Innocently, Truman though it was an announcement of Colonel Landry's appointment as Air Force aide, and gave the Vauhan list to Charlie Ross, White

Bellevue Terrace Group Seeks
To Eliminate Plaque of Ruts

A plague of rats, particularly in
an alley in the 1900 block between
Downing street and Downing place
NE, was brought to the attention
of the Bellevue Terrace Citizens
Association last night.
Carelessness in disposing of trash
and garbage on the part of some
residents was blamed for the in
vasion.
One woman told of seeing from
her back doorstep "a whole crowd of
rats walking down the alley at 8
o'clock in the morning Others
said that they were afraid to let
their children play in their own
back yards.
A Civic Service Committee. headed
by James Wilfong, was asked to
investigate the garbage disposal
problem and to seek means to
eliminate the rodents.
The shortage of baby-sitters was
held responsible for keeping many
association members at home on
meeting nights. Ralph w. Donnelly,
vice president, who conducted the
meeting said he does not see why
