filings are considered simultan- eous. Hurley countered with a charge that United States law does not recognize simultaneous filing and one of the two concerns had to be first.
 The sudden and intense inter est in the land was explained by Dr. Ernest Patty, president of the University of Alaska and long time Alaska mining engineer.
 He told the Fairbanks News Miner:
 "The land these concerns are seeking to claim is composed of a geological structure that would hold and produce oil providing oil ever was there.
 "The Navy found large amounts of oil and natural gas in drilling program north of the Brooks Range around Point Barrow and Umiat. These deposits are so far north they are virtually cut off from markets.
 "Geologists believe that the Brooks Range uplifted at late date splitting a great oil basin. In other words there seems to be as good a chance of finding oil south of the Brooks Range as there was finding it to the north where the Navy has already To- cated plenty of petroleum
 Henderson said the group head ed by Johnson has started intense geological studies in the area. He said drilling would commence next summer and approximately 212 million dollars will be spent to drill up to five wells.

Oil Stampede Rapidly Developing In Kateel Country With Two Rival
 Concerns Filing on 100000 Acres

{ FAIRBANK, R-An oil stam- pede was rapidly developing here Iafter two concerns filed more than 100000 acres of oil leases in the Kateel River country, west of Fairbanks.
 To date approximately one-half million acres of land in the re- mote area of Alaska inland from Norton Sound has been leased by oil concerns.
 Two weeks ago a group headed by F. Kirk Johnson, prominent Texas oilman, and Including movie star Jimmy Stewart, leased 268, ,OOO acres of land in the region.
 Monday the same group leased an additional 140,000 acres.
 Investors in the new lease in- cluded Alfred Hitchcock, Holly wood movie director and the Ute Royalty Co.,, Salt Lake City, Utah.
 Earl Henderson, president of the Ute Royalty Corp, laid down checks totaling more than $40,000 from the investors when the Land Office opened its doors Monday morning. But also waiting at the door were representative of the Texas Yukon Oil Co. who inn mediately filed leases for 40,O00 acres of land in the same area.
 Margery Mccormack, who is in charge Of the Land Office here, said all the leases would be con- sidered as being filed simultan- eously and if they overlap drawing will be held to deter mine winners.
 An attorney for the Texas Yu- kon Oil Co.,, Julian Hurley, said a representative of his concern had reached the Land Office counter an instant before the rep resentatiVe of the Ute Royalty Corp. But Land Office manager Mccormack said that where only one attendant is on duty such

Diseased
Parakeets
Traced by
Officials

An interesting piece of medical
detective work is going on in
Montgomery County, according
to r. w. Koch, Sanitary Engin-
eer in the Health Department.
The story is as follows:
On January 81, 81 parakeets
were received in a Silver Spring
store from New York City. The
birds were sold soon afterwards
to people living in Montgomery
County and surrounding areas.
On February % Silver Spring
man became sick with a pneu-
monia-like illness. This man had
a parakeet which died on Febru-
airy 25. The physician immedi-
ately suspected psittacosis -
disease which is transmitted to
man by birds of the parrot fam
lily. He notified the County Health
Department at once.
