Says Indians Want Littell.
| Mr.. Castillo's attack on the bill
includes an attack on Mr.. Howsel
for being primarily interested in
protecting the interests of Cali.
fornia and the oil interests in the
tidelands"
The Indian leader said the Mis-.
sion Indians cannot have two at.
torneys," that they want Mr.. Littel
and not the attorney general OF
California to represent them in theil
tidelands claims because Howsel
is too busy protecting the claims OF
California to those same lands"
Let the record be perfectly clear,
Mr.. Castillo concluded. "the Indians
of California do not trust attorney
General Howser as Cur attorney
We know that his interests as at
torney General for the State OF
California are in direct conflict with
the interests of the Indians. We
will not give MIN our confidence
We will not give him information
of a confidential character. The
proper relations of attorney and
client can never exist between u.s.
The tidelands oil controversy is
likely to reach a climax soon in the
Senate. A bill, already overwhel-
mingly approved by the House
would turn the rich area between
the shoreline and the three mile
limit back to the States. The bill
is on the Senate calendar and Is
considered practically certain OF
Senate approval.
Problem of Overriding.
The problem, for its hackers, is to
obtain a two-thirds vote of ap-
proval since President Truman al
ready has vetoed one such bill and
is expected to veto this one like
wise. House approval despite the
veto is taken for granted but the
Senate vote will be much closer,
observers believe.
Until Mr.. Littell appeared on the
scene with the Indian claims, back
ers Of the bill had considered the
matter would be settled once the
tidelands were turned back to the
States. A Supreme Court decision
last year held the lands belonged
to the Federal Government, but that
Congress could give them to the
States If it desired.
II Mr.. Littell is barred by the
Butler bill from bringing the Indian
claims. opponents of the tidelands
bill believe, there will be no one to
do so. They feel that the Cali
fornia Attorney General would be
unlikely to bring such suit be-
cause of the effect it would have on
the States income from the tide
| lands oil wealth.

ministrative Importance But they
are the exception to the general
rule.
PRESENT OBSTACLES-A num-
ber of things stand in the way of
an employe with ability who, with
some training and encouragement,
might develop into a top-notch
Federal administrator.
For one thing, the Government
has not developed any widespread
training program to develop prom
ising employees into executives. It's
tue that the Civil Service Com
mission has set up an inferno train
ing program, but only about so
employees a year participate. When
you consider that there are 100000
Federal workers, the selection of
20 employees for executive training
doesn't make much of a dent in
the problem.
But Federal officials believe that
this program could set the pattern
for a vastly larger employe training
project, whereby workers who show
special ability and initiative would
be given extensive training to fit
them for future executive positions.
This would probably require ap-
preparations from Congress, but
officials believe that it would be one
of the finest investments the Gov
ernment ever made.
DISCRIMINATION-The above
mentioned employees would for the
most part be comparatively young
people. But there is another group
of employes-those with many years
of Federal service to their credit
who also might well be entrusted
with important Government jobs
These people at persent are being
held back by their lack of college
degree. Many officials agree that
the Government is too college de-
gree" minded for its own good.
Now, of course, some jobs such as
those of chemists, engineers, scien-
fists and other technical professions,
in most cases require college de-
gree. But there are a wide number
of administrative jobs where years
of experience with the problems in
an agency and how to handle them
would appear to be far greater
requisite than a college degree.
But very few Federal employees
without college degrees hold even
fairly important administrative jobs.
Contrast this with private industry
where many men who did not go to
college have been given a chance to
advance ON the basis of natural
ability and on-the-job experience.
Ironically, the President of the
United States himself could not
meet certain Government job COL
lege degree requirements. But this
makes no difference to many Off
cials, who won't even consider a
person for top job unless he pos
sesses the all-important college
degree.

This Year Above
| Same 1947 Period

Nineteen more deaths and 1874
more injuries have resulted from
home accidents this year than dur
ing comparable period in l947, the
Red Cross Accident Prevention
Service reported last night.
The fatality toll was swelled by
three last week. The victims were
an infant who suffocated in bed. an
adult who ignited his bed clothing
with a cigarette, and a 94-year-old
woman who fell out Of bed.
Among the los persons injured
so severely at home they needed
hospital attention was 19-month-
old girl who burned the cornea OF
her eye when she walked into q

Commission, which already has indi-
Gated its awareness of the problem
by setting up its inferno training
program. should take the lead in
formulating plan whereby every
Federal worker with ability will
have a chance for a real Govern
ment career.
1t will take careful planning and
preparation, as we'll as money, but
it will be we'll worth the effort.
One Government Official summed
up the situation pretty well the
other day when he remarked:
Every time career employe ad-
vances to a really good job in the
Government, it's a cause Of great
surprise and comment. That's what's
wrong with the present career sys-
tenn. Appointment of career en-
ployes to top jobs should be so COM
monplace tnat only when a non-
career employe is appointed to an
important Federal position should
it occasion any wonder and COM

Urge Unified System
OF Air Traffic Control
By John A. Giles


Plans for a single system of al
navigation and traffic control 70
both civilian and military aircraf
which may cost more than billiol
dollars and take is years to com
plete-were announced yesterday b.
Secretary of Defense Forrestal an,
Secretary of Commerce Sawyer.
The cabinet members announces
that the first step already had beel
taken with establishment of three
man Air Navigation Development
Board representing the Air Force
Navy and Civil Aeronautics Admin
ist-ation. They called for "a mai
of National stature" not represent
ing any Government agency con
cerned with aviation to direct tn
board.
The joint action Of the Secretarie
is a result Of more than six months
work by a special committee Of tn
Research and Development Boar
headed by Ralph S. Damon, presi
dent of American Airlines. 1t ais
follows recommendations of boil
the Congressional Air Policy Boart
and the Presidents Air Policy Com
mission that there be closer CO
operation between the military ant
civil set-ups.
Surveillance Networks Urged.
"A single basis system of air navl
CATION and traffic control-a trul,
National System-must be developed
and installed which will satisfy tn
requirements of all users to tn
greatest extent possible" the Damol
committee said.
The group added that "a system
OF surveillance networks used for OBJ
serving, identifying, and controlling
aircraft movements should be es'
tablished and maintained in contln'
uous operation"
The air defense "radar system
should be connected by communica'
ton links with information ane
control centers and be capable o.
immediate integration with any
early warning system established II
time of emergency" the group re-
ported.
Research and development in ma
rine navigation would be allocatee
to the Navy under the committee!
recommendations.
At the same time the committee
has been working, special com
mittee organized by the Radio Com
mission for Aeronautics completed
a study on air traffic control which
will be used as sort of textbook
for the Air Navigation Development
Board.
Total Cost Put at S1.113,O00,0 900.
The report of the Research ane
Development Boards committee
prescribes in detail program run
ming to 1868 aimed at 95 per cen'
of full efficiency, compared with 4.
per cent today.
e, Total cost of the project is esti
mated at $1,113O00,000.
The report pointed out that thu
country now has $4,000, ,000,0 ,00'
4 worth of airports which are closec
IS per cent of the time by bae
weather, and estimated that the air
lines lose S39,50o,O00 annually be
cause of weather.
A system OF electronic airWay
and traffic control areas for us
by military, commercial and privat
pilots would be provided to reduc'
weather delays and greatly increas'
flying safety.
Since the ultimate objective is l!
wears away the committee pro
posed an interim program ready IL

Milk Hits New
High-!s5.0O Cwi.
Increase Announced
BY Produce Company

Noble county farmers are now
receiving $500 per 100 pounds
for milk, according to a state
ment released today by Henry
Brumbach, of the Caldwell Pro-
duce company, representing an
all time new high for local pro"
ducers.
Until last Friday, the farmers
in this county were receiving
$4.80 cwt, a price which has pre-
vailed here for several months.
1t is expected that the retail
price of milk to local consumers
will also jump in proportion,
probably by the first of the en-
suing month. Caldwell resident
are now paying 19 cents per
quart for pastuerized milk and
20 cents for homogenized milk.
All-tim high meat prices are
responsible for the steady ad,
vance in milk prices. Dairy farm.
ers are selling their heifers fol
beef instead of keeping them, il
. is said.
Government estimates of milk
production in the U. S. this year
are lis billion pounds. This is {
drop of IA billion pounds from
the record of 125 billion pound:
in 1916.
During the depression, milk
sold here for as low as S1.80 ir
Noble county while farmers il
the Cambridge district received
only $1.40. In other sections o.
the states it dropped to the new
all time low of 80 cents.
But in line with this increase
the farmers are also paying more
for their feed, hauling costs are
up and everything else that en-
ters into the cost of producing
milk is soaring.

been appointed as instructor for
the new class for farm trainees,
under the G. l. Bill Of Rights,
which will open this week at Har-
riettsville. The. announcement of
the opening of the new class was
made this week by H. c. Secrest,
county superintendent of schools.
The new class will bring the
total number of classes for Noble
county to eight, with an average
of about twenty three pupils at
tending each class. Another class
will probably be organized in the
near future as there are ABOUT
twenty would be-students for on
the-farm training awaiting action
on their applications. According
to officials of the training pro-
gram, the opening Of the new
class will not allow them to take

the training program. All classes
throughout the county meet on an
average of twice a week and the
time and place is arranged by the
instructor for the convenience of
the largest number Of pupils.
During the summer months, how
ever. classes are sometimes held
only once week in order to all
low the students to complete
their harvesting, threshing and
Iother pressing farm work.
In addition to serving as a
teacher, twice a week at their
/ regularly scheduled meetings, all
instructors are required to spend
one hundred hours a year on each
pupil, holding personal instruc-
ton sessions and practical appli-
cation of theoretic studies are
made.
Of the eight classes held twice
a week, in Noble county, three of
these are held in Caldwell. Other
classes are held at Belle Valley,
Dexter City, Sarahsville, Sum-
merfield and the new class at
Harriettsville.

feet at the time.
This is the fourth well drill
ed in the area by the F. & L.
Drilling company for the
local gas company and is by far
the best producer struck SO far.
The Permian company has sever
al hundred acres under lease in
the area and it is felt that this
will help somewhat to relieve the
gas shortage that has been prev
elant in Caldwell and Noble
county for the past five years,
However, the supply Of gas for
Caldwell and Noble county, will
not be plentiful this winter and
no doubt several persons will
have to continue to heat their
homes by means other than gas.
Since drilling operations have
begun in the new field four wells
have been drilled with three pro-
ducers and one which produced
only about $4,000 cubic feet. The
other two wells produced 1856 900
and 100000 cubic fee respectively
with the last we'll offering even
greater possibilities as more
wells are sunk in the vicinity.
The gasser has been tubed and
shut in and is ready to go when
a line is laid to the site. The rig
will be torn down in the near flu
ture, no future plans are forth
coming at the present time.
Work on the well was begun
July 6 and completed on Aug. Z.
According to reports the sand
was struck at a depth of 1888
feet with a showing of gas and
the well was drilled to a total
depth of 1445,5 and was not shot
Although the well is not as
large as the wildcat gasser struck
in the Reinersville community
about month ago, it may return
more, dollar for dollar, because
of its depth and location. The
Reinersville well, which is re-
ported to be producing a million
cubic feet day, was struck ir
the Clinton sand at a depth o1
about five thousand feet while
the local well is only approxi-
mately one third as deep. The
well in the Reinersville field i.
owned by the Whitrner Oil anc
Gas, Sistersville, w. Va, anc
was drilled by the E. O. White
Co., of GAINESVILLE. Another vel
has been started in the Reiners
vile field by the White company
and other wells are being plan
ned.
