Oil Industry Found
In Healthy Condition
In Spite Of Shortages
By the Associated Press

HOUSTON, Tex, Aug. THE oil
industry, despite its problems OF
supply and demand, steel shortages
and transportation, turned IN a
healthy report card for the first
half of 1948.
There is little gloom to be found
in the midyear reports on the in
dustry's activities as printed in
current issues Of two petroleum
publications, World Oil and Oil and
Gas Journal
World Oil says approximately
IS ,OOo,oO0 barrels of refined products
added to storage from January
through June illustrate "the i'm
provement achieved by the industry
in catching up with growing de-
mand, for in the initial half OF 1947
stocks we're reduced more than
10, 100000 barrels
Oil and Gas Journal says drilling
activities for the period were 9.e
per cent over original forecasts ano
represent a goal which six months
ago would have been considered i'm
possible If not ridiculous"
Between January and June 30
World Oil says. the industry sup
piled a total demand for all oils
in the amount of 1,127 ,272, 900 bar
rels, a daily average Of 6,1s4, ,O0C
barrels, 70 per cent above the 1947
first half average.
Crude and condensate production
for the six months were totaled by
Oil and Gas Journal at 998, ,00C
barrels, an increase Of 103 ,43l 900.
World Oil says strict wildcat
drillings totaled 2706 as compared
with 2,O84 for the first half of 1947
During the six months 3l2 oil, con-
densate and gas field discovered
were made as compared with 24s
last year.
The first half, Of 1948 saw COM
pletion of 1887 wells, Oil and Gas
Journals report, an increase OF 1871
per cent. Included were l0,287 oil
wells as compared with $3.50 for
1s47,s niidyear report. Z.
Both publications predict the
record breaking trenoS Tor produc-
ton and exploration will continue
through the second half of the year
i Crude oil production and runs to
stills continue to increase as gaso-
line production and stocks decline
American Petroleum Institute
figures place crude production for
the week ending July 81 at daily
average of 5,455,450 barrels, 1850
higher than the previous week. Re-
fineries operated at 97,5 per cent
capacity, running 5.718,000 barrels
of crude to stills daily as compared
with 5,591 900 barrels a week earlier
A year ago crude production
averaged 5,087, 500 barrels daily, with
still runs totaling $500 900.
Gasoline processing for the week
ending July 81 totaled 1885, 900
barrels as compared with 1879 ,000

ago.

nounced its 20-year friendship pact
with Turkey, and announced that
the time had come for Russia TO
have its own bases on the Daroa-
nelles and the Bosphorus.
But the Turks, they discovered
don't scare easily. They calmly
called most of their 000,0O0-man
wartime army back into service,
and said that new treaty Would
only be discussed with the nine
nations which had signed the olo
one-plus the United States.
Russia still is meditating, ap-
parently, on an answer to that'
but she is going to find Turkey
harder than ever to bully hereafter.
Turkeys firm stand OF two years
ago had little but grim determine
ton to back it up. Its 1000 600
man army was equipped with a
hodgepodge Of weapons from the
mail order catalog of every arma-
ment dealer of the last so years.
Its rifles came from a dozen
countries. It's artillery bore the
marks of half a dozen nations wnlch
had, at one time or another, courteo
the Ottoman Empire.
You name it, and they've got
it." saws Gen. MacBride. But only
of course, if it's out OF date and
useless.
Those days began disappearing
however, when the United States
Congress appropriated slooOoo'ooe
for military aid to Turkey. An
ARMY. Air Force and Navy COM
mission spent most of last summer
studving Turkeys needs, and the
American mission headed by Am
bassador Edwin C. Wilson drew up
a detailed plan for making Tur-
KEYS army an effective hghtihe
force.
The program, after slow start
is moving this summer at wartime
pace Some of the delay was due
to dificulties in finding the surplus
eouipment needed, some to the fact
that shipping schedules were helo
down to avoid clogging the TURKISH
ports.
But the first heavy shipments
cleared the ports with amazing
speed. so now" says Gen. Hoag
I'VE have taken the lid oil snip
ments."
OF the Air Force equipment, more
than "a per cent of the water
borne cargoes have already arrived
OF the planes themselves, about
80 per cent have been flown in.
Nearly 81 600 900 900 worth OF mod
ern equipment will have been de-
livered to Turkey when the program
is completed, for the American mis-
sion has taken full advantage OF
the law which permits surplus army
equipment to be sold at 10 cents on
the dollar. This has, in effect, null
tiplied by 10 the 500 10000 grant
Even this, however, will not COM
pletely moderniZe an army whose
strength, though secret, is some
times guessed as 100000 men and
is certainly over 100000.

Price Of DardaneI|es

By Morley Cossidy
nth American Newspaper Aliione,

ANKARA, Turkey, Aug. 5. (By
Airmail. .)-Bargain days are over on
the Dardanelles and the Bosphorus
There was a time not so long ago
when 1t seemed-to the Russians,
at least-that the Turkish straits
could be had for the asking.
But the price, even then, turned
out to be higher than expected. And
this summer, as ship after ship
brings cargoes of American military
equipment, and week after week
brings new flights of American
fighting planes, the price tag is ris-
ing by the minute.
The price as of now, according to
one top-ranking member of the
American military mission, would
be the damndest cat-and-dog fight
that this corner of the world ever
saw"
Maj. Gen. Earl S. Hoag, chief of
the Air Force section of the mis-

MacBride Has No Doubts.
Maj. Gen. H. L. MacBride, chief
of the Ground Force section of the

way Turkey would fight against any
Russian aggression.
The Turks he says. "are a
united, cohesive people. They have
shed all claims to the rambling cid
Ottoman Empire, they ask no ter
ritory from anybody, and they're
giving up none of their own.
The Turkish soldier is well dis
ciplined and determined. he takes
his army duty as matter of course.
And the whole Turkish people will
fight till they're killed to resist
any aggression"

attitude when, flushed with victory
