Oil Hunters Face
Big Odds

outsida world. And they have
done it in this area, especially
during periods of heavy snow.
The seismic study of the
Williston Basin was far from
the end of the search. Seis-
mologists sent records of their
shots to a central exploration
laboratory. There, other oil
hunters analysed them, COM
pared them with reports from
other seismic crews, reports
from the surface biologists and
other sources. Gradually, by
sitting, culling, and re-eXam-
lining clues, they narrowed the
search to the most promising
localities.
Now the oil men were ready
to make the big decision. They
knew it might cost as much as
$500, 600 to drill one well. They
knew the odds were at least
ten to one against finding oil,
in spite Of their scientific re-
search. Even so, they decided
to drill.
But first, they had to &C
quire rights to use the land.
The next article in this series
will tell about the oil men who
leased the land, and how they
reached agreements with the
landowners.

a long time were cool.
The GOODNESS dates back to the
1914 Democratic convention in Chi
cago when Murray was a strong
supporter of Henry Wallace for the
vice presidency. AS such he opposed
Truman, and was not in sympathy
with the way Sen. Sam Jackson of
Indiana abruptly gaveled the con-
vention to a close in order to stop a
bandwagon rush for Wallace.
That night Murray received a
call from some of the big Demo-
cratic bosses, including Ed Flynn
of the Bronx and the late Ed Kelly
of Chicago. They reported that they
had been trying to stop Sen. Harry
S. Truman in his determination to
be Vice President, but weren't suc-
cessful. They asked Murray if he
would talk to Truman.
Murray, who had a room in the
Blackstone hotel where Senator
Truman also lived, picked up the
phone, asked if he could come down
and see him.
"In come up and see you," re-
piled Truman. And he did.
Almost bursting into the room
a minute or two later, the sena-
tor from Missouri didn't wait
for Murray to open the CONVEX
sation.
Il know what you want" he
said, land I'm not going to do
it,"
He went on to say that he knew
the CLIO chieftain wanted him to
withdraw, that he wasn't going to
do so, and left.
That ended that. During the years
that followed, Murray was not in
vited to the White House personal
ly as he was by FDR. He. went
there only with other labor leaders.
And it was not until about a year
ago that he was called in for a
personal, confidential talk with the
President.

New A-Bomb

The recent A-bomb test in Ne
vada was so spectacularly success
full that plans are under way for a
new series of tests this summer on
Eniwetok island.
A fantastically powerful bomb
is to be tested there-one so de-
~structive that our scientists
have been afraid to set 1t off
within the U.S.A. Work on the
hydrogen bomb has also been
moving forward at such a rate
that we will probably test our
first experimental H-bomb
sometime this fall.
If these tests ire successful, they
will revolutionize the equipment and
tactics of u Armed Forces, prob
ably making it necessary to devote
one-third of the 1858 defense budget
to the atomic bomb and defenses
against it.

Goal Reached By Salvation Army In Three Days

Major C. C. Cltheroe, An chorage Department, Salvation Army, who was in town last week, said that the goal of $500 set for Seward had been reached topped by S160 by Thursday morning.
 Major Clitheroe, Fred Van Horst and Virgil Chancellor, who conducted the quiet campaign in Seward, express appreciation for all the courteSieS and the kindly reception they received while here.
 The role of the SalVaton Army in Alaska has been an important one in the history of the Terri tory. Ii is the only agency offer ing public assistance which is not hedged in by Limitations on the amount and kind of service giv- en. It serves without regard to color. race or creed, and whether a human being has been in the Territory 12 months or 12 hours makes no difference. The cVI- dence of immediate need is the paramount issue.
 In Alaska, the Army works out of 12 different cities and Vil- lages. There are units in Juneau, Ketchikan, Angoon, Sitka, Hoo nah, Petersburg, Wrangell, Cla- Wok, Rake, and Metlakatla. The Anchorage and Fairbanks head quarters take care of the entire Interior He has been asked seV- eral times, Van Horst said, why the Salvation Army does not come to Seward. They would consider such a proposition if the Lions Club, Chamber of Commerce or some other service organization indicates the need for the work here and asks for it.
 People claiming to be from Seward have been given assist ance in Anchorage during the past year, Van Horst stated, but whether the need for cash as sistance, housing, food, clothing, etc, is great enough in Seward and there is no other agency to handle it, is something that must De determined by Seward itself.

New Furniture Sfore Has Rest Room For The Ladies

Women. especially those from out of town, with children on a shopping trip should have access to conveniently located rest room facilities, is the belief of J. H. and Henry A. Werner, better known as Jack and Hinic, and when they opened Werner's Furniture & Appliance early in July it included a beautifully ap- pointed lounge and rest room for the ladies.
 They (the ladies' don't seem to know about it, according to Hinie so the invitation is eX tended to the ladies 10 come into the furniture store and rest, The lounge is done in pink fixtures and contains comfortable facili- ties.
 Jack and Hinie have been in business in Seward for 13 years and inclusion of the rest room in their new store is the result of their desire to make the eStab- lishment the most modern and up-to-date in Seward Most large city stores provide this con Venience for shoppers, but 1t has not been the general practice in Alaska. This is one more sign of the growth of modern merchan- dising practice in Seward.

 Quickly the state and city mar shalled forces, pouring 250 guards and officers into the flaming pris- on compound. Six hundred Ohio National Guardsmen, rounded up from central and southern Ohio, mobilized before the sudden col lapse of the revolt.
 A scheduled offensive by the guards became unnecessary. Cold, hungry, beaten, most of the rebel lious convicts moved back into the cellblocks minutes before the guards planned to march into the penitentiary.
