Reach Agreement
On Rearming OF
West Germany

LONDON, R-France and her
eight allies have reached full ag-
reement on system of controll-
ing West Germany rearmament,
Belgian Foreign Minister Paul
Henri Spaak said Saturday.
Spaak made his comment to
neWsmen following an afternoon
session of the nine power confer
ence on freeing and rearming
West Germany and linking her in
the West European defense ALI
ance.
Newsmen asked him whether
his compromise proposal for con-
trolling German rearmament had
been adopted. He replied:
eve discussed so much 1 can
not say which formula was
adopted. But we have an agree
ment."
Sparks first plan had called for
sharing control of German rearm-
ament by the North Atlantic
Treaty Organization and new
enlarged seven nation Brussels
pact.
Friday night, however, French
Premier Pierre Mendes France
unexpectedly rejected this and
plunged the conference into crisis.
Then Spaak, us. Secretary of
State Dulles and Lester Pearson,
Canada's foreign minister, sub
mitted new plans for solving the
deadlock.
Mendes France and German
Chancellor Konrad Adenauer both
made concessions on the key is
sues of arms control, informed
sources said.

A sale of used articles and
equipment which might be need
ed by fishermen, homesteaders,
hunters, campers, farmers and
others, is being offered to bidders

Shell Oil Co. Is
Reported Planning
Work In Alaska

ANCHORAGE, R = A third
major oil company is reported
planning active exploration work
in Alaska.
Shell Oil Co. representatives
have been buying up options on
oil leases held by Alaskans in the
Wide Bay area, the Anchorage
Times said. The area, described
in the newspaper account as zone
of the hottest oil spots on the
North American continent" lies
on the east shore Of the Alaska
Peninsula, south of Chinitna Bay
and south of Shelikof Strait.
M. R. Marston, Anchorage, is
one of the first Alaskans to sell
his option, the Times said.
The newspapers account con-
tinued:
Reports indicate Shell represen-
tatiVeS have been offering so
cents an acre, with five per cent
royalty agreement for leasehold-
ers. This would double the origi-
nal investment in the leases, as
well as provide additional income
if and when oil is produced.
Wide Bay was opened to leas-
ing last July and more than rs
Alaskans applied for leases. Con-
flicting claims were settled by
drawing lots.
The concern has been moving
so rapidly that options have been
arranged before leases have been
issued by the Bureau of Land
Management.
Shell has had field parties
studying the areas geological
structure for the past several
years and the area has been a
Navy reserve until the past sum-
mer.
The two other major oil COM
panies active in Alaska are Phil
lips Petroleum, which is drilling
at Icy Bay, on the Gulf of Alaska,
and Standard Oil, operating under
development contract in the
Homer area.
In addition, the Times said, the
Havenstrite operations at Chin
tina Bay are continuing drilling;
the Alaska Oil and Gas Develop
ment Co. "Eureke venture" is
under way and a Bakersfield,
Calf, group has been taking over
oil leases On the north shore of
Knik Arm, within sight of An
chorage.
