Chester River To Be Camp
Site For Peninsula Con-
ference During Summer
REV. r. GREEN CAMP MGR

Camping activities for the senior
young people will get under way
June 18th at the Peninsula Confer
ence Camp on the Chester river.
This age group us to 10 will in
clude those Ia years of age who
show maturity. A weekend retreat,
June % to "a, will be held for the
boys and girls 18 through %. This
will afford an opportunity for
young people who find it necessary
to work. Camping experiences in
clude not only the more serious
activities such as worship and
learning opportunities, but every
boy and girl has a real treat in
store for them through the boat
ing, swimming, and other water
events. The Camp Council, camp
newspaper, Arts and Crafts, nature
hikes, and the choral group pro-
vide many outlets for the express
sion of ones particular interest.
The Rev. Richard Green, the
camp manager, has secured COM
petent staff of workers for this
summer. The Rev. J. H. Glow, Jr.,
will be program director for the
Senior Camp the week of June 1S.

Senate Bill Prohibits
Federal Personnel In
Wearing Alien Medal.

Military officers and Federal
temployes would be prohibited
from wearing a decoration Of q
foreign government under a bill
approved by the Senate Judiciary
Committee.
The committee, in approving the
measure to make such actions q
terminal offense, yesterday also
trapped an Army regulation on the
subject as being "just double
talk"
That regulation, promulgated
last summer, allows officers to
receive an award from a friendly
government at a formal presenta-
Ition ceremony. 1t stated that such
physical receipt of an award
would not constitute acceptance. y
Congress Must Approve.
The officer would have to turn
| the donation over to the Army
|adjutant general who would pass
it to the State Department to be
held until Congress passed a bill
to let the officer wear it.
The committee called this an
attempt to circumvent by admin
!istrative regulation a constitution
al ban on the acceptance by
Government officials of decorations
from foreign governments or po-
|tentates without the consent o!
Congress.
Permitted During War. >
Congress passed q law in 1942

Newspapers 'Bigness
In U. s. and Canada
Held Economic Aid
BY the Associated Press

BOSTON, Oct. 1.-THE head oi
Canada's huge newsprint industry
yesterday defended the tbigness'
lof many American newspapers.
r. M. Fowler president. of the
Newsprint Association of Canada
said charges that United States
and Canadian papers are too bic
land that they "hog" too much o1
the world newsprint supply are
unfair. ~
He told the Boston conference
ton distribution: So
IT am tired Of visitors from
other countries moaning about

80 pages, compared to six or; eight

or South America.
Everyone would agree that
newspapers in many countries are
inadequate in size and they should
be larger" rs"
Cites Varied Roles.
But. Mr.. Fowler said, "the news
papers In our two countries play
IA totally different role in the dis
Itributive process than do news
papers in Europe and South
America.
It is often forgotten that here
the newspaper is used to adyer-
|tiSe a specific article described In
detail and available for sale on q
specific day or hour, at a specified
price: but In other countries news
paper advertising is used mainly
to build up public knowledge OF
IA commodity or a manufacturer

goods may well be a major factor
in. the maintenance of our high
standards of living on this CONT
.nent.
Notes Sales Decline.
cit is significant that when
strikes prevented the printing of
newspapers in. New York and
Pittsburgh. department store sales
dropped by so per cent"
Mr.. Fowler added, however, that
there must be larger supplies of
newsprint for other countries and
these will probably be developed
in several ways.
"Newsprint stocks in United
States publishers hands are
nearly 100000 tons greater than
they were year ago. Perhaps
1t will be possible to send more
Canadian newsprint overseas on
ordinary commercial contracts be-
fore many months have passed"

Regardless of how the falter-
ing negotiations on the Iranian
oil problem work out eventually,
the interruption of normal An
glo-Iranian Oil Company oper-
ations in that country viii, now
require from three to six months
from the date of any settle
ment for restoration of any,
thing close to their pre-crisis
level of value to the free world.
The Iranian operation as such
probably never will return to it's
rank of fourth in the petroleum
field.
The oil industry is the most
truly international industry on
the globe. It's ownership, man
agement, sources of supply and
production, and consumption
centers are scattered all over
the world; joined with each
other at some levels and fiercely
competitive at others. The An
glo-Iranian Company, in which
controlling interest is held by
the British Government, is one
Of the giants of the industry.
While its principa activity has
been the Persian production, the
company holds slightly less than
a quarter interest in the Iraq
Petroleum Company, a half in
terest in the Kuwait Oil Com
pany and minority interests in
numerous other concessions
throughout the Middle East.
AIOC representatives have
studied the Canadian potential
where new oil fields have re-
Gently been proven and others
are suspected. The company
owns nearly a dozen reflneries
scattered around the world, in
cluding the half-idle one at
Haifa. Israel. It's distribution
and marketing system extends
around the globe.
In the light of what has
happened in Iran. the company
seems to have made two i'm
portant mistakes. One is the
relative concentration of COM
pany interests in the 1ranian
operation and the further con-
centration Of refinery facilities
in the single great plant at
Evening star., 1951-08-20

as the Caribbean and Mexican
Gulf areas. The diversion Of q
transport operation Of this mag
nitude. incidentally. is not just
an overnight task and its re-
assignment to the Abadan ter
minal if and when that plant
gets back to heavy production
would be time consuming in it
self.
Meanwhile, the competitive
aspects of the oil industry are
showing up in the record pro-
duction figures coming out Of
Kuwait. Saudi Arabia, Vene-
zuela and Southwestern United
States in recent days. These
performances bear out estimates
and predictions of plentiful sup
ply of crude oil in the free
world but the pinch still re-
mains on refinery capacity with
the worlds largest unit, Aba
dan, out of business.
Within the industry this op-
portunity to step up production
and to capture some of the
market for Persian oil will not
be surrendered lightly. 1t is a
fact of life now recognized
clearly by AIOC and one which
should have crept into the con-
sciousness of the present Iranian
government. A political decision
at Teheran will not be COM
pletely sufficient to reverse it.

Doris FIeeson:.

This is the first of a series of
three articles dealing 1Dith
ne1D developments in the De-
tense Department battle oUer
air po1Uer expansion.
Representative Carl Vinson,
chairman of the House Armed
Services committee, has called
upon the secretaries of the
three services and the Joint
Chiefs Of Staff for full reports
on a new and virulent outbreak
of the interservice rivalry
which has been the bane of
unification.
In a fatherly but stern letter,
the chairman told the services
that they we're keeping the
sores of unification running
and, what is worse, hurting the
national defense" He could not,
he warned, stave off much long
er another Congressional inves-
tigation of their quarrels unless
they proved themselves able to
set their own house in order.
Once more, as in the 1949 ex-
ploSion, the services are fight
ing over what constitutes proper
air support of ground troops,
which is briefly known as tao
tical air. Under the prodding of
Congress, a practical test of the
relative worth of opposed Air
Force and Navy doctrines in
this vital field was planned for
the practice maneuver, South
ern Pine, now taking place in
the South.
The Navy was invited to bring
on the Naval and Marine air
which it is justly so vain and
demonstrate its theory of close
air support in which the air is
under control of ground COM
manders. The Air Force, in
contrast, was expected to carry
on under its system of control
ling all air operations from
within the Air Force. At the be-
ginning this was apparently
agreeable to everybody.
But when actual planning of
Southern Pine got underway,
the Air Force baked. Taking
the attitude that the Navy was
only a guest, it demanded full
operational control of the air
phase of the maneuver.

John c Henry
Iran May Lose Place in Oil
Three to Six Months Will Be Required to Restore
Abodun Operations If Settlement Is Reached

Abadan, a sitting duck target
for politics now and perhaps for
bombs in time of war. The sec
ond is the failure of the COM
pany in the field of public rela-
tions, first of all in the failure
to create a better climate Of
good will within Iran itself and
secondly in the failure to pre-
sent its story fairly and favor
ably to the world at large.
The first Of these mistakes
leaves the company today with
the heaviest proportion of its
investment pinned down in a
non-productive venture. Even if
a working agreement is reached
under the Iranian nationaliza-
ton law, there is reason to
believe that the industrial disci-
pline necessary to the function
ing of such a complex operation
as production and finishing of
petroleum products has been de-
stroyed and will be difficult Of
restoration in the semi-political
atmosphere of a nationalized in
dustry. There is further reason
to believe that never again, If
they can help it, will geographic
areas of consumption such as
India and South Africa allow
themselves to be dependent on
a single source of supply for
such an important commodity
as petroleum. 1t is equally un-
likely that any consuming in
terests will be inclined to enter
into long-term dependence on
any supply source so obviously
subject to political disturbance.
Belatedly, the company is
recognizing these weaknesses in
its position and is taking steps
to counter them. With AIOC
concurrence, the Iraq Petroleum
Co. last week reached agree
ment with the Iraqi govern
ment on new contract, includ-
ing the $3.50 formula for profit
sharing. In Kuwait a COM
parable formula is being offered.
At the same time, the tanker

ton was so vulnerably depend
ent has been shuffed into other

stated to Mr.. Vinson that the
Air Force, during the heated
discussions that ensued, said it
did not desire any qualitative
tests of Air Force versus Navy
methods of control for close air
support.
The Navy then Withdrew and
hard feelings were had by all.
For 81 years Mr.. Vinson has
lived close to these problems and
the strong -willed men who mas
ter-mind them. Experience is
the crystal ball which shows him
the danger to national defense
of such quarrels in such critical
times. In effect, he is now saying
to Secretaries Pace, Kimball and
Finletter; Gems. Bradley, Collins
and Vandenberg and Admiral
Fechceler:
"Take the top off that pres
sure cooker and let it blow. If
you don't, I'll have to help you"
So far, however, Mr.. Wilson'S
request for renewal of the
Southern Pine tests of tactical
air doctrine has been denied. He
is told that it is now too late in
the day: that it will interfere
with some Navy carrier training
in prospect.
Gen. Bradley seems particu-
larly disingenuous. On August
II the chairman of the Joint
Chiefs replied to the House
Armed Services chairman that
"a system different from that
envisaged by the Navy" had
been established at Southern
Pine; that it was then decided
that maximum benefits" would
be obtained from one procedure
for the use of aircraft.
Gen. Bradley also referred
glowingly to various high
sounding boards that were ex-
ploring the problems. These
boards, he wrote, could hold
joint experiments and exercises
later.
This answer was not well re-
ceived; in fact, it appeared less
than candid in view Of the facts
already known to the House
chairman. It was also branded
in one quarter as Exhibit A Of
the problem encountered by
Congress in trying to get ac-
curate information from a Gov
ernment department. A perfect

David Lawrence:
Defense Contract Stirs Row
Two Factions in Democratic Party Appeal to Truman
Over Awarding of Big New Ordnance Project
Dovid LoWrence:

Strange goings on these days
ct the White House-at least, as
the tale is told by Senator
Neely, Democrat, of West Vir-
ginia, who took a delegation Of
members Of Congress with him
the other day to see the Presi-
dent and afterward revealed
that an important defense con-
tract, involving millions Of
dollars, has become a matter of
political controversy inside the
Democratic Party.
With billions of dollars of tax
payers money being disburSed
and with the President in his
speeches assuming an air of
righteous indignation toward
those who cast doubts on the
fidelity of his administration to
the public interest, it is strange,
indeed, to read the following
from a United Press dispatch:
"A West Virginia congress
sional delegation said after a
talk with President Truman that
New York State Democratic
Chairman Paul E. Fitzpatrick is
trying to get a Government con-
tract for a distilling firm to op-
crate an ordnance plant at
Morgantown, w. Vas
Senator Nicely, Democrat, and
three Democratic House mem
bers-Harley o. Staggers, Cleve-
land M. Bailey and Mrs. Eliza
beth Kee-told Mr.. Truman
about the tug-of war within the
Democratic Party over the plant.
Nicely said afterwards that
Fitzpatrick saw the President
yesterday i'm behalf of United
Distiliers Of America one Of the
Evening star., 1951-08-20

two companies seeking to oper-
ate the Morgantown plant to
produce ammonia. Neely and
his delegation favor awarding
the contract to the Allied Chem
ical and Dye Corporation -.
Nicely said he and his asso-
ciates did not ask the President
to take any specific action, but
that they went to the White
House because Fitzpatrick spoke
for the other side yesterday :.
1--WE want to settle this thing
on its merit, not on politics.
Nicely said"
When the foregoing was pub
lished, Mr.. Fitzpatrick denied
that he had asked President
Truman to intervene in award
ing the contract but added that
he did bring the facts to the
attention of Representative
Celler. Democrat. chairman Of
the House Judiciary Subcommit-
tee studying monopolies.
According to the Associated
Press, Senator Nicely revealed
also that Mr.. Celler had spoken
to Undersecretary of the Army
Archibald Alexander in behalf
of United Distillers," which had
been chartered in New Jersey
not long ago for the purpose of
bidding on the Morgantown
lease"
What does all this mean
that the Democratic leaders are
engaged in a controversy as to
whose influence shall prevail in
the awarding of defense con-
tracts? Why shouldn't the De-
partment of the Army make
those decisions without pres
sure from any side, and why
should the President be asked
