u. 5. Fuel Research
Favored, but Running
Synthetic Plants Is Hit
BY the Assoeiaied Press

WICHITA, Kans., Mar. 25.-A. L.
Solliday, executive vice president of
Stanolind Oil and Gas Co., said
here today he was opposed to the
Government entering the synthetic
fuel production in competition with
private industry.
Government research on mining
oil shale, producing and refining Oil
from shale and coal gasification is
valuable and should be continued,
he said in an address before the
mid-continent division of the Amer
ican Petroleum Institute. But, he
added, not to the point of building
commercial plants.
Interior Figures Challenged.
''I am in agreement with the basic
intent of the proposed Wolverton
bill in fostering and encouraging the
development of synthetic fuel pro-
duction from coal, oil shale and
other sources" Mr.. Sollidav said,
''but I am completely opposed to
the Government, directly or indi-
rectly, entering this or any other
activity in direct competition with
private industry"
The oil company executive chal-
lenged recent statements from
the Interior Department that
2. 2.000, 900 0-barrel-a-day synthetic gas
oline industry could be built for
50 900 100000
I'VE believe this investment is
grossly underestimated," Mr.. Solli-
day said. Such a program would
cost 20 to 80 billion dollars instead
Of $4,000, ,000, ,000."
Overestimates Charged.
He said the Government need not
build commercial-scale synthetic
gasoline plants because the industry
is constructing two demonstration
plants with better engineering data
than the Government has.
Many persons, Mr.. Solliday said,
are overestimating the number of
synthesis plants that can be built
using natural gas as the raw mate
rial. He said probably not more
than 20 plants making not more
than 10000 barrels a day will be
constructed.
Mr.. Solliday predicted that coal
will be major source of liquid fuels
In America within 100 years.

King Michael Visits
vaIAcademyTodaY;
Speaks at Press Club

King Michael, deposed monarch
OF Romania, motored to Annapolis
today for glimpse of the Naval
Academy's finest and a reception by
their superintendent.
For the Midshipmen, 1t was their
second visit from royalty in two
days. Yesterday they busted of
their best ''blues" for 17-year-old
Prince Baudouin, son of Belgian
King Leopold, who thought the
Academy was wonderful"
King Michael, who abdicated his
throne last December under Com
munist pressure, was to be greeted
at IL am. by Rear Admiral James L.
Holloway, jr.. academy superintend-
ent.
Speaks at Press Club.
Yesterday the 26-year-old King
participated in several democratic
functions. He spoke before a SELL
out crowd at the National Press
Club and then withstood a barrage
of questions before facing throng
of women admirers waiting outside.
He grinned at their squeals, usually
reserved for the likes of Frank
Sinatra, and yielded to pleas OF
autograph fans.
But In his quietly spoken talk at
the Press Club, he was dead serious
when he said the Communist regin
OF terror which Russia imposed by
force" on his country does not
represent the will of the people.
The Romanians are living q life
OF misery, wrath and fear, he said,
but still have not lost hope for re-
gaining independence.
Not the least painful of the Kings
indoctrinations into the American
way of life involved acquisition of
a drivers permit.
He passed a written examination
yesterday at the Department OF
Vehicles and Traffic in Is minutes,
with a percentage of 100, according
to examiners.
Gets Drivers Permit.
The King possesses an interna-
tional drivers permit, and did not
have to get District one, but he
told officials he wanted one.
When Michael signed his applica-
ton card he just wrote Michael" !"
One of the examiners asked him
If he had a middle initial and a
last name, but he said that Michael
was sufficient. On the reverse side
of the application, however, Lindsey
T. Rider, chief examiner of the per-
NIT section, wrote Michael, King
of Romania."
In answer to questions on the ap-
| pllcatlon blank he said he was 26
years old, weighed 1876 pounds and
was S feet IL inches tall. He said
he has brown hair and blue eyes.
In answer to the usual questions
on the application blank as to
whether he had frequent head
aches, fainting or dizzy spells, or
ever had a nervous breakdown, he
wrote mo" To the question as
to whether he used alcoholic bever-
ages he admitted he did, "in mod

After the question on his occu-
patton Michael answered, None"
He gave his address as 3400 CAL
vert street NV, but he was mis-
taken about that. He Is staying at
the Shoreham, the address of which
Is $500 Calvert street NV.
The King was escorted to the
permit bureau by Detective Sergt.
Thomas M. McVeary, who has been
assigned to him as police escort.
He was given the examination by
T. E. West, assistant to Mr.. Rider.

ing, with most of them being
tabled for action later.
The neighborhood squabble over
filling a drainage ditch on East
Perry street was turned over to
Councilman William Goebel for
further investigation.
The question Of city participa-
ton in tiling the South Madison
street ditch, to avoid further dam
age to the street from cave-ins,
was left in the hands of Council
man Paul Schmitt until definite
figures on costs are available. 1t
is proposed that the city, town
snip and county share equally in
this expense.
The question as to whether Ju-
Iius Naft has the right to fence
in his frontage on the abandoned
road west of town was raised by
"Turk" Hathaway, another prop
erty owner in that area. In the
absence of Solicitor George
Slaughter, this question was tab
led for investigation of abandon
ment proceedings which followed
the construction of the new Route
2 highway there.
Hathaway stands to gain land
himself if the old street is aband-
oned, but voiced the opinion, "lf
it belongs to the city, let the city
have it."
Police Chief Jack Shelter ap-
pealed for another man to be add
ed to the force, pointing out that
his staff can't do a consistent job
on meter enforcement without
more help. He pointed out that
compared to other towns, Port
Clinton is low on it's average an
nual collection per meter. Ac-
tion on his appeal was tabled for
later consideration.
John Zetzer asked permission to
fence off part of the dead-end
of Harrison street, west of the
Port Clinton Marine Co. plant, to
prevent thievery of materials
stored behind the plant. Council
decided to investigate before tax
ing action.

new SPRAY TO BE TRIED
IN PORT CLINTON SCHOOLS
BY D. d. SIMS

Did you ever start your child
off to school with a feeling of
dread, thinking that a building in
which several hundred children
congregate daily must be germ
laden? That would be a natural
reaction unless you could see the
janitors making their various
rounds, spraying the various class
rooms, and disinfecting toilets.
Even scrub water is germ-free as
it is disinfected before using.
During the past three or four
years a new material has been
used for keeping down the dust in
class rooms. The material is call
ed Spra- Mist, and it's manufac-
turers claim that it not only downs
dirt and dust particles, but ac-
tually dissolves them.
Neo Germolyptus, sometimes
called the Hospital Germicide is
used both as a spray and in scrub
and wash waters. This is the fav-
orite germicide in many hospitals.
A DDT spray is also used in the
kitchen and cafeteria. It may only
be a coincidence, but the kitchen
is free Of cockroaches and other
insects.
Altico Powder and Shower San
are used in the shower rooms to
prevent the spread of athletes
foot.
Did you ever go into the school
in the middle of the afternoon and
get the idea that it was dirty and
unkempt? If you have, remem-
Der that several hundred children
have been in school all day. You
probably will be surprised to know
that every class room from Grade
| to IL is swept and busted daily.
Glycol Vapors To Be Tried
At the August meeting of the
Board of Education, it was de-
cided to add one new disinfecting
spray. This spray, commonly
known as "Glycol Vapors", was
described in a condensed article
from HYGIEA in the April Read
er's Digest. If you have not read
it, hunt the April number and
read the article "Now We Can
Prevent Colds" Do not let the
title of this article mislead you.
We do not claim that we will stop
all colds by the use of this new
spray, but in the interest of pro-
tecting the health of the boys and
girls in the Port Clinton schools
it was decided to try this new
magic spray.
We do not know of any way
to measure it's effectiveness. Chill
dren can catch cold at play or at
home or in other places. At the
end of the school year, we expect
to have some kind of question
naire in which we will ask you if
your children had colds, if they
were as severe as other years,
were they as susceptible to colds
as in previous years? In school
we will be able to check by the
comparative attendance figures.
but we will have to rely largely
upon the report you make to de-
termine whether or not our expert
ment was effective.
