NEGRO CANDIDATE LOSES
IN HAWAIIAN Senate RACE

Honolulu, Hawaii 49, Wendell F.
Crockett, Republican Senator from
the island of Maui, lost here last
week in his bid for reelection to
the Senate of the Hawaiian Is
lands.
An outstanding Negro leader in
the island legal and civic circles,
Crockett was unable to survive the
Democratic upset which overthrow
the strongest Republican strong
hold outside the continental United
States.
Hawaii had been under Republi-
can domination since 1900. But the
lineup now is a Democratic ma
jority of % to s in the House,
and 90 in the Senate.
Curiously enough, it has been a
coalition of Southern Democrats
and conservative Republicans which
has blocked the islands aspira-
tions for statehood. The Southern
Democrats have opposed the adj
dition of additional votes for civil
rights, while conservative Repubh-
cans have been reluctant to admit
two more Democratic votes into the
Senate.

Is Announced

San Francisco.--A "highly sig

Ralph K. Davies, president, dis
closed the discovery was found in

6,760 feet in an exploratory being
drilled for the joint account of

Western Oil Corp.
On drill-stem test, the we'll
flowed at an estimated rate of g.
400 barrels 25.6-gravity oil per

wells producing from the shallow
er Burgan horizon around $500
feet in the Wafra field. There has
been no previous production in
the Persian Gulf area from the
new discovery zone.
"This is highly significant dis
covery," Davies asserted, (which
should substantially augment the
independent company reserves of
the Near East"
Original target Of the wildcat
was the Arab zones and after fur.

In the special courts opinion,
Judge Augustus N. Hand, U S

decision that social organizations,
other than strictly local autono-

Cite Importance Of
Integrated Firms In
Oil Industry

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. - In an
APT. paper, appearing in the No
vember IS issue of The Oil and
Gas Journal, John G. Mclean, pro-
,fessor of business administration
at Harvard University, says, "A
Harvard Business School research
study confirms that vertically in
tegrated companies occupy more
important position in the petroleum
industry than in almost any other
United States industry.
'The process of Indignation in
the oil industry" Mclean contin-
ues, "has been characterized by a
high degree of individualism, has
not destroyed the opportunities for
small nonintegrated companies, and
often has intensified rather than
threatened competition"

A. P. |. Issues New
petroleum Facts"

NEW YORK - To keep pace
with the statistics of business
that employs more than 100000
persons and produced 100000 bar
rels of crude oil last year, the
American Petroleum Institute has
issued the 18th Edition of its COM
prehensive Petroleum Facts and
Figures" the Institute announced.
H. B. Miller, APP director of in
formation, pointed out that "Pe-
troleum Facts and Figures" is de-
signed to be the most convenient
source of information available on
the nations third largest indus
try. The oil business is exceeded
in size only by agriculture and
all public utilities combined.
This year the 322-page book,
in new modern cover, tabulates
statistics of every phase of the oil
industry for the years 1949-1953.
When used with the 9th Edi-
ton, with its coverage of the oil
industry prior to World War II,
this 18th Edition will provide one
of the most complete statistical
reviews available for any industry.
The new publication adds such
features as flow charts showing
movement of the principal petrol
cum products from refinery to
consumer, tables on offshore drill
ing operations, employment, en-
ployee earnings, and pipe line
mileage tabulations.
This basic reference work may
be obtained for $500 from the
