Speaks To Rotarians
Activities Report
Given By Leader
To LocoI Group

Sam Coker, of Yazoo City, and
president of the Delta Council
was principal speaker at the
Tuesday meeting of the Lexing-
ton Rotary Club. He was intro.
duced by Hugh Nichols, program
chairman.
Mr.. Coker gave an interesting
and detailed report on Delta
Council activities for this year.
He told about the Boys Conser-
walton School in June at Leroy
Percy park and the success of the
first school on ginning held in
Leland during August. This
school was so successful, he said,
that they have already been asked
to repeat it next season.

ence held in Ell Paso was attended
by representatives of all the cot
ton producing states in the South
and West. At this time a tentative
beltwide cotton producers organi-
cation was set up to help work out
together the problems of the in
dustry.
Mr.. Coker discussed the govern
ment's demand for 80 million

ton of the cotton industry to the
curb on cotton exports made last
week.
speaker emphasized that
our farmers in this section should
continue to diversity our crops
and not go back to the one crop
system.
M. Coker concluded his adj

words in support of the American
way of doing things as opposed to
communiStic controls and curbs.
ne stressed the importance of
teaching our young people, par
ticularly, on the value of the Am
erican system and bring them up
to respect it as well as God. His
remarks wer greatly enjoyed by
a full attendance including two
guests, S. F. Allen of Goodman,
and Harden Erwin.

Many signposts, proved reliable
in the past, squarely point to this
conclusion. This critical year, at
the turn of the mid-century, finds
crude oil reserves, crude oil pro-
duction, effective eserve capacity
Of crude production, and operable
refining capacity all at record
levels.
Beyond this, a giant new petro-
chemical industry (much of 1t not
in existence a decade ago. this
year expanded to new record
peaks of production and produc-
tive capacity. This new industry
now provides a huge reservoir of
raw materials and chemical inter-
mediates for the manufacture of
synthetic rubbers, detergents, ex-
plosives, fertilizers, medicines,
plastics and a host of other i'm
portant products.
SO Billion Invested
Oil companies are rounding out
the largest program of expansion
and modernization ever telescoped
into a few years. After the end OF
World War II, when steel and
other restricted materials became
available in sufficient quantities,
these companies have pIoughed
approximately eight billion dol
lars into expansion and modern
ization of property, plant and
equipment.
DURING July 1910, domestic
crude production averaged 1885,
900 barrels daily. Refineries oper-
ated at 1878 per cent of capacity,
and processed 3,480,O00 barrels
daily. Proved reserves Of crude oil
were estimated to be 10 billion
barrels.
During a July week in 1850,
domestic crude output averaged
5,475,000 barrels daily, 1,819,0 600
above 1910. Operating at 88 per
cent of capacity, refineries during
the same period ran a record total
OF $4,000 barrels Of crude to
stills daily, 2,432,000 above 1910.
Estimated proved reserves had
climbed to an all-time high in ex-
ces of % billion barrels, about
so per cent greater than in 1910.
To find and develop new re-
serves, and to build up and extend
reserve productive capacity that
the war had eaten up, oil compan-
les during the last three years in
vested more than three billion
dollars in the producing branch OF
the industry.
Refinery Capacity High
Operable refining capacity now
stands at 6,617,000 barrels daily

Sofia Legation Aide Tells of Torture for Confession

and yet powerless to protest and
deny.
Indeed, the only things I did
not tell them were things they
never thought of leading me into
describing. At the end, when ]
wrote down the confession of
guilt and repentance. I remember
that the whole thing appeared
fantastic and ridiculous, but it
seemed to give them complete sat-
isfaction.
Clear memory came back to me
on Monday morning, August %,
when I started out to work. My
most anxious thoughts then and
thereafter were to cleanse myself
of some Of this depravity and
baseness which I had accepted,
by giving the Legation a true
statement of the whole affair, and
denying the militia the possibil-
ity to make any use of my state
ment and to do it in a way that
would deprive the militia of the
chance to use my writings against
any Of those friends of mine.

Man Held Under Miller Act,
Pleads Guilty 10 Charge

A 58-year-old man yesterday
was held for grand jury action on
a charge of violation of the Miller
Act, the Districts sex law. He
also pleaded guilty to a charge of
indecent exposure.
Assistant United States Attor-
ney Jerome Powell said Albert P.
Wilson, of the 900 block of Massa-
chusetts avenue NE, was accused
by police of exposing himself to
two girls, II and 10, in Stanton
Park on Friday.
Municipal Court Judge Walter
j. Casey set April for sentencing
of Wilson on the exposure charge.
Wilson waived a preliminary hear
ing on the Miller Act violation.
Mr.. Powell explained that inde-
cent exposure, a law violation in
itself. also becomes violation of
the Miller Act when it occurs be-

"I'll have to see a contract
first" one snapped.
Then it wore off and he chortled
pleasantly:
tits swell news. We're tickled.
Let's get back to work"
The reaction of groups matched
that of the individuals.
In some mining towns the dig
gers whopped it up unrestrained
last night. But that was entirely
dependent on the charity of the
community tavern keeper and
neighbors.
"Scraped Up Money For Time"
The real celebration came to-
night.

news on the RADIO" said DELPHI
Hall, of Lake Lynn, Pa.

to go out.
But I scraped me up some
money today and we're going to
have us a time"
Mr.. Halls story of the months
OF uncertainty and hunger is typi-
cal.
He's A and has been a miner
since he was IA. His wife, Beat
rice, bore him flve robust young
sters who range in age from

Recounts Story of Strike.
This is his story of the strike
1--WE only worked on and of
from summer on last year. We
were out so often I can't exactly
remember how it went. The
money kept coming in slower and
slower all the time. And the
bills began piling up.
1--WE were supposed to work two
full weeks in November. but the
company ran short of railroad
cars so we lost some days even
then.
II went to work on New Years
Day. But pickets come by the
mine and told US to 60 home.
IT haven't been to work since.
"A week later they shut OF my
credit at the company store.
Went on Relief In January.
"We went on relief in the mid
die of January. The first check
was for $46.10. Last month I got
another check for $500.
THAT bought the food we
need. but that's about all.
"I'll be earning $15.16 a day
under the new contract. But a
good bit of that must go to paying
back what I owe.
Besides the relief, my bills
amount to 1891. If I work five
days a week might be out of debt
by the middle of summer. Ano

bosses, businessmen and even the

At the Champion Co. store in
Library, harried butchers dis
played empty cabinets where
sandwich meat had been sold out
after the settlement. Other food
items suitable for lunch pals went
as quickly.
Grinning Men Flock to Bars.
The grinning diggers focked to
the bars which had been nearly
deserted during the last few
weeks.
Others chose different way
to mark the strikes end.
Tony Pawlowski poured out his
feelings in prayer at little
Catholic church in Bridgeville,
Pa. He told a reporter:
Il offered my heartfelt thanks
to God for the thing we've all
been waiting for so long-the
contract.
