INTERIOR Department
NEEDS $50 MILLION TO
DE- SELF-SUSTAENING

WASHINGTON, ID. c. LDNS) -
The United States Department of In
terror falls short of being financially
self-sustaining by $50 million at
present, according to Interior Secre-
tary Mckay.
It's budget requests for the fiscal
year ending July /, 1856, amount to
$424, 461, 900. It's receipts from pow
er, oil and gas receipts are expected
to be more than $40 million.
Mckay said he likes to think of
the department ''as the Department
of Natural Resources, and we can
make it a self sustaining department
if we take care of these resources. !"
Meanwhile, in Alaska, many citi-
zens say the department could have
even more revenues from oil and gas
if Mckay would restore land north
of Brooks Range to the public do
main.
This would permit private indus
try, through existing laws, to make
use of oil and natural gas resources
in the "Gubik field"
Such an opening up of the re-
sources is vitality needed, they say,
to stimulate the development of agri-
culture, manufacture of fertilizer,
coke and jet fuel for the Air Force
and encourage the industrial and
population expansion of the country.
Such development is tagging now
because of McKay's refusal to open

ne com mission uOESu tndL the
price of oil tends to be the same
around the world as it is in New
York no matter where the oil was
produced or how cheaply.
WHY NO PRICE DROP?
''The question is why, since Middle
East production costs so little, it does
not bring about a decline in price
and drive out large proportion of
higher cost American production" the
report said.
The report, dealing specifically
with Western European oil prices,
noted that Europe pays American
prices for oil produced far more
cheaply in the Middle East.
although the trade links between
the two hemispheres are weak, and
likely to become weaker, the corpo-
rate links are very strong," the UN
report asserted. Specifically, the
lions share of crude oil production
and refining throughout the world is
in the hands OF eight major COM
panies-five American and three
European-most of which have in
terests in each of the main producing
and refining centers.'
Named in the report were Standard
Oil of New Jersey, Standard Oil of
California, the Royal Dutch Shell
group, the Texas Company, Socony
Vacuum, Anglo-Iranian Oil Co., Gulf
Oil Corp, and the French Compagnie
Franchise Des Petroles.
The committee also stated flatly |
that consumer interests have no
relation to the price of oil.
"Given the influence of non-eco
1omic forces on the oil industry, it is
lot possible to be more precise than
% say that an appropriate price for
Middle East oil would be one
which represents a compromise gen
.rally felt to be fair between the in
erests of producer and consumer.
.'Viewed in this light, an essential
eature of the present price is that it
effects a situation which effectively,
My the interests of the producer are !
represented. 1t is evident, indeed, that
rivate consumer interests have little
possibility of exerting as concentrated
nd effective a bargaining force as
interests, whether with re-

IKE SHOULD give AN EAR TO
SCHOOL kHEN OF THE NATION

| WASHINGTON, D. C.-(LDNS)-
President Eisenhower might be sold
a sound school construction program
if che would listen to the school men
of the country for a moment" rather
than Treasury Secretary Humphrey,
House Democrat asserted here.
Rep. Stewart Udall (D-Ariz.) told
the House Labor and Education that
the administration is placing too
much emphasis on balancing the
budget and has confused federal
debt with national debt.
The President has asked for a
school construction bill that would
place heavy financial loads on state
and local school districts and OPP
posed direct federal aid for school
building.
Hitting at the administration
program, primarily based on state
loans, Udall said he couldn't agree
that state Indebtedness is less i'm
portant than federal debt.
The federal debt now stands at
$278 billion and the national debt
is the sum of the debts of the federal,
state, county, city and school district
governments.
The House committee is now con-
sidering several measures to aid
school construction. The most popu-
lar among congressman appear to be
those providing grants-in-aid to the
states.
Udall said he would favor this type
of school construction aid rather than
the loan proposal of the President.
Everybody, including the President,
agrees there is a critical school house
shortage, Udall said He added that
the only real dispute is how the doc
tor shall be paid.
'The administration says the pa
tent should pay" he asserted, add
ing that he thought the "whole fam
ily"-the local school districts, the
states and the federal government
should share the load.
Meantime, there were signs of
compromise shaping up in the COM
nittee over the types of grants-in-
lid to be provided.
The compromise taking shape
would be dollar-matching across
he-board grant to states. This meas
Ire is sponsored by Reps. Carroll

A longtime friend was saying

all he ever has known in golf has

He was the best of the Penn

the West Penn Amateur six

Southern and Atlantic Coast

No championship in the world

/ there were some raised eyebrows
when Ben Hogan drew Lloyd
Mangrum as a playing partner

Mangrum and Hogan were not

Mangrum was asked about it
in the clubhouse shortly after
they finished.
Lloyd, never one to mince
words. said the trouble had not
been between him and Hogan,
but with sports writer's who con-
tinually misquoted him, or mis-
interpreted his remarks.
A few years ago Mangrum is
supposed to have made some Bit

fusing to play in a tournament
in which the sponsors would

.Raschii' 5 Return
TO Give Cards
Needed Boost

CHICAGO. April Is (P).-Vic
Raschi, who has become sope-
what of a forgotten man this
spring, has won his battle with
back miseries and soon will be
ready for pitching assignments
from Manager Eddie Stanky of
the Cardinals.
Stanky has said all along that
his clubs main problem is pitcn-
ing, and if there were any dis
believers they probably were con-
verified yesterday when the Cubs
teed off on five Cardinal hurlers
for Is hits and a 14-4 victory.
Raschi may come in mighty
handy.
1t was a little over a year ago
that Raschi was sold by the YAM
KEGS to the Cardinals in a deal
that had a sentimental impact
on the baseball world. The big
Highlander. now SO, had won
100 games for the Yankees, in
Guiding 81 in each of three sea-
sons. and lost only SO.

back when we got him" Stanky
said before his Cardinals hur-
ried out of Chicago yesterday.
He won eight for us last year

six out of 20 Starts and I look
for him to win 8 to II for us
this time"

through.

ter" he said. I'm a year older
and I've played another year
and I hope to be of some help
to the Cardinals for three more
years anyway.
