SNYDER, Tex, Jan. Bob
Hope and Bing Crosby, along with
many once-struggling farmers,
have struck it rich in the Canyon
Reef oil strike in Scurry County
here-and, it is said, the two IA
nous entertainers can thank the
honest and good judgment of an
unnamed veteran Gilman for their
''luck."
Hope was present when the
Crosby-Hope well was drilled last
August. On being told the we'll
had a capacity of 100 barrels
day, Bob remarked, while pre-
tending to drink some of its oil,
I'm certainly happy at the kind
of liquid we have located. Cali
fornia can have its orange juice!"
Hope and Crosby each own one
quarter interest in 1926 acres in
Scurry County, in partnership
with w. A. Moncrief of Fort
Worth and Paul C. Teas of Dallas.
This town is up to its eyebrows
In smeary. gooey, gorgeous oil
the biggest, richest, strongest and
most promising pool since East
Texas roared in back in 1880. The
slender, prying needles of the ro-
tary drilling rigs have barely
scratched the new pool. A total
of 260 wells have been drilled and
there will be at least 1000 more.
The sensational strike is in the
porous limestone formation known
as the Canyon Reef, where the oily
treasure lies buried far below the
cotton fields under many a fathom
Of shale and sandstone. Petroleum
geologists say the reef may yield
more booty than the Spanish
main.
The total may run to 1000, ,000.-
900 barrels or more, perhaps s.
O00, 100000; one estimate went as
high as 10000, 100000. AT any
rate, it's tremendous. 1t will take
time to be fully developed. 1t will
make a city, perhaps another
Oklahoma City, of Snyder. and it
will add a brawny backlog to the
Nations total of crude oil re-
serves.
What is it doing to Snyder?

Australia S DR.. Evatt
Is Now Available for
International Role
By Fred B. Hubbord
Foreign Correspondent Of The Stor end
the Chicago Daily News


CANBERRA, Australia. Jan. 2.
Probably no one is more avail
able for an important role in
international politics now than
Australia's DR.. Herbert V. Evatt.
Such a role is one that the
Australian statesman is reputed to
love. And if the United Nations
comes through with a job offer, as
rumored, it is considered likely
here that Mr.. Evatt will snap it up.
His current availability, of
course, stems from the defeat of
Australia's Labor government in
elections recently.
With the defeat, Laborite Evatt
lost his powerful jobs as Deputy
Prime Minister, Attorney General
and Foreign Minister. He nearly
lost his seat in Parliament, too.
His rival for the seat, French
resistance heroine Nancy Wake
lost out only by the narrow margin
Of 1000 votes.
The election result is a big
come-down for Mr.. Evatt, who's
had a meteoric career in Austral-
ian and world politics. A bachelor
of laws at the age of %. he became
q Justice on Australia's highest
court at the age of SO.
Entering Federal politics in
1910 at the age of 46, he became
only year later the country's
Attorney General and External
Affairs Minister.
He gained world prominence in
UN affairs and subsequently be-
came president of the world or
ganization's General Assembly.
His devotion to international pol
itics. In fact, earned him consid-
cradle criticism in Australia for
"neglecting" his jobs here.
Whether he did is doubtful.

A Visitor From Syria
Last week it was our pleasure to
be the host to Shaish from Allepo,
Syria. He told the 7th grade about
Damascus, Syria and answered
the many questions of the pupils
in both the elementary and high
school classes. He was particularly
interested in our agriculture class
es and visited one of the boys
home projects.
Mr.. Shaish was much impressed
with our large, consolidated ele-
mentary schools and the advantages
they afford in contrast to the one

Col. Amtes Issues
Charter Groups
First Statement

Montgomery County's govern
ment will slump back into it's old,
vicious bossism if the Victory
Democrat slate carries the cleo
tion," Col. Norman B. Ames, Presi-
dent of the Montgomery County
Charter Committee said today. 1t
was the first policy statement by
the Charter Committee.
"The Charter is non-partisan
organization. and as such has asked
each candidate for election to the
county council for his views, and
has checked into his background"
Col. Ames said. "On this basis, and
on no other, we selected the peo-
pie we are backing.
"Of those on the Democratic
slate, which was selected by the
ubiquitous boss, E. Brooke Lee,
only Mrs. Stella Werner and Gro
yer Walker are acceptable to us.
1.-THE rest are personally charm
ing, but uniformly inept. They
are not the sort of people to carry
on the work of the present county
council. None have told us where
they stood on county questions,
simply because they hadn't re-
ceived the proper answer from Mr..
Lee. Nor have Mr.. Lee or his
VD candidates at any time told
us where they stood on anything"
"The Charter Committee, he
said, sis backing Kathryn Lawlor,
j. Lewis Monarch, j. Lewis Hes
bitt, Lathrop R. Smith, John c.
Reid and incumbent Harold F.
Hammond for the county council,
in addition to Mrs. Werner and
Mr.. Walker. In the contest be-
tween Mr.. Reid and Mrs. Werner,
the Charter Committee takes no
position" Col. Ames said.

rom ruarl schools of Syria. The
only modern schools in his country
are in the cities, he said.
In parting Mr.. Shaish said, "Of
the many schools l have already
visited this is one of the most beau
tiful! l shall always remember my
visit to Damascus, Md, is. A."
