Sixth Army Headquarters Warns To Not Give

The efforts of ~unfriendly nations

telligence on the United States is
of continuing concern to the armed

Americans.
The search for knowledge of our
resources, industries, utilities, cities
and public works, is a continuing
process which is speeded up dur
ing periods of national stress such
as the present.
Most attempts to gain intelli-
gence of strategic value r in the
form of requests for unclassified
information and documents. 1t is
easy to realize the value of infor-
nation in a recent request for a

such unclassified information as
telephone or city directories or
comprehensive commercial or ag-
ricultural reports.
Most of the requests originate
from overseas agencies or their
representatives in the United
States and are directed to civilian
firms, chambers of commerce and
such organizations. Private citi-
zens and business enterprises in
the United States who have re-
quests for material of potential
strategic intelligence value are
urged to consider carefully before
complying.
The Office of International
Trade, Department of Commerce,
Washington 25, d. c., has been des-
ignated as the government agency
responsible for processing, review
ing and replying to such requests.
When received, such requests
should be referred to the nearest

1t is a rather large group, she said.
Since there are no commercially
made U. N. flags, all are being
made by modern Betsy ROSES in

FREEBERG NOMINATED
K|WAN|S PRESIDENT

Wesley A. Freeberg was nomi-
mated Wednesday evening of last
week for president of the Laurel
Kiwanis club for the coming fiscal
and calendar year, James Whitson
vas nominated for vice president,
and a board of directors was rec
commended. The latter were Alvin
R. Shaffer, William C. Barnett,
Hugh Sweeney, Allie M. Dolven,
Russell j. Orr, Daniel E. Sharp,
Myron Y. Erb. The recommended
tions of the committee as read by
it's chairman, former Pres. j. Will
lard Baldwin, were unanimously
adopted. Pres. H. Lee Hamlet an
nounced that the annual election
would be held at the clubs next
meeting, Wednesday evening of
this week. Also on the board will
be Hamlet as junior past presi-
dent, and Sec. Walter Menello.
The after-dinner program was a
discussion of fire prevention by
Grant F. Gainan, Billings city fire
marshal, who exhibited and de-
scribed various items of freight
ing equipment for installation on
premises. He called them first aid,
for use in the first few minutes
of a fire-the critical period when
a Whitewater or chemical will do
most good.
Gainan said 1000 Americans
die annually in fires, $4,000 are
injured, and property worth $500
million is destroyed. He felt the
losses, both of lives and property,
could be very greatly reduced if
not eliminated. In Sweden, he men,
toned, it is a crime to cause a
fire. Not long ago a Swede was
sentenced to prison for two years
because he set fire to his bed
smoking at night. His care
lessness had endangered the lives
of others.
There are three classes of fire:
A, solid material such as wood;
B, liquids such as gasoline; c.,
electric. Each requires its special
extinguisher. The first thing to do
is call the fire department; then,
while the specialists in controlling
and extinguishing fires are on
their way, start using the emer-
gency equipment.
An extinguisher the speaker ex-
hibited was the water, soda and
acid type for use on class A fires

Dictated early this month by two
discoveries, one by Farmers I'm
ion Central Exchange, Inc, and
the other by the Texas company.
Both discoveries were made in the
Sumatra area of Rosebud county,
about 10 miles east of Milestone.
The Farmers Union we'll is on
the Sawyer lease in the center
of the northeast quarter of the
southwest quarter of section 26,
township II north, range 80 east,
which is approximately 60 miles
north and 45 miles east of Laurel
where Farmers Union has an oil
refinery. Possible production from
the well is said to be estimated
at from 600 to 1000 barrels of
crude oil daily, with a gravity of
about 81.
The well began blowing mud,
water and oil from a depth of
5,267 feet Tuesday of last week
when the drilling e pulled pipe
to change bits. The oil was di-
verified to two earth reservoirs be-
fore the flow was controlled; one
was filled and the other partially.
A drill stem test was run Tues
day of last week, indicating about
25 barrels per hour. The next day,
Wednesday, it was reported by
observers that it would be consid-
erably more, possibly in excess of
1000 barrels daily.
"The new discoveries in the Mel
stone and Sumatra area present a
paradox that is exciting oil OPP

Tribune said. "After wildcatters,
including many major companies,
