Glenn0n, Tischner
Spot New Wildcat
In Tensas Parish

Thomas J. Glennon and Joe
Tischner, Natchez, Miss, operators
have spotted location for a Lower
Tuscaloosa test on the Winter
Quarters Plantation in Tensas
Parish, Louisiana.
Scheduled for a depth of $500
feet is the operators No. 1 Lake

follows: from southwest corner
Section IS, northwest along Sec
ton line 7734 feet, thence north
east at right angle $50 feet to loca-
ton in Section 18-12N-13E.
The test is located on a block
of approximately 5000 acres as
sembled by Glennon and Tischner
for the test.
Phillips Petroleum Co. purchased
a one-half interest in the deal in
support of the wildcat. Doris Bal
lew, Inc, contractor for the we'll,
also holds an interest.
Both the State of Louisiana and
the Fifth Louisiana Levee District
are represented under the unit.
Name of the plantation on which
the test is to be located was de-
rived from the fact that Ulysses
S. Grant used the plantation for
headquarters during the attack of
the Union Army on Vicksburg dur
ing the Civil War.

Mississippi's Milk
Production Up
IL Per Cent:

Mississippi's milk production
went up IL per cent in the past
decade even though the total of
milk cows increased only per
cent during the same period, w. v.
Lyons, Mississippi representative
of the American Can Company,
said today.
The 1.6 billion pounds Of milk
produced on Mississippi farms in
1854 helped set an all-time nation
al record of 1885 billion pounds,
said the official of the can COM
pany which annually produces
hundreds of million of paper milk
containers. Mississippi farmers
shared in milk receipts totaling
about $73 million, he said.
Improved feeding and dairying
methods bringing about greater
productivity per cow were advanc-
ed by Lyons as one of the major
reasons for the increased output.
The national record, he said, was
produced by twelve per cent fewer
milk cows than were on Americas
farms in 1914, when the COW pop
ulation was at a record total of
25.6 million cows. However, Lyons
pointed out, the PA million cows
in 1854 produced an average of
5,512 pounds of milk each, almost
a thousand pounds more than the
1914 COWS.

Operators Seek New Equipment
For Drilling In Deeper Waters

to provide platform for drilling

Deep-water equipment is particu-
larly needed off California, where
the Continental Shelf drops off
rapidly. Four companies Shell,
Continental, Superior and Union
have joined forces in long-range
engineering assault on the deep
water engineering problems. Two
engineering companies are work.
ing with them to design a deep
water platform.
In the Gulf of Mexico, operators
are in no great rush to move
farther seward, according to the
Journal article. But the cometitive
push which drove them to search
for major underwater field in the
first place is still the dominant
factor. eve can't afford to sit by
and let somebody else find another
East Texas field out there" one
major company spokesman SAID.
Evidence of this attitude is the
fact that in the federal govern
ment's big lease sale in July, more
than 10000 acres were bought
which underlie more than 100 #.
of water.
This competitive drive to find
lush underwater production has
brought prosperity to the Gulf
Coast shipyards, the Journal says.
There's a pot of cash waiting
for any shipbuilder or contractor
who can turn out a good deep-water
drilling structure at price the
oil company is willing to pay. And
that price may vary anywhere from
$1,25O,0OO to $3,5O0,OO0 - or per-
haps more in the future"

Indictment In Mississippi

The fact makes the state particularly important test
ing ground in relations If there be progress
those relations toward greater justice and greater demo-
cracy in Mississippi, then we feel grateful.

Emmett Till was kidnapped after incident at the little

day grand jury indicted two white charge of
murder and kidnapping in connection with young Tilps
death The deny the crime and the trial of course
is still to come
The fact remains that the Taahatchie County
grand jury, made up of white men, took this step
against other white for crime against Negro.
Over long term of years Mississippi stood at the head
of the shameful list of the states in which lynchngs
had occurred. There few lynchngs in

portance is indicated for Catahoula
parish, Louisiana, by the No. L.
S. Stutson wildcat operated by
Transfer Drilling Co., Shreveport,
La, a division of Husky Oil Co., of
Cody, Wyo.
Two potentially productive Will
cox sands, with a net sand thick
ness of approximately 45 feet, were
indicated by correlation electric log
run to 1874 feet in the Stutson
we'll, which is a proposed $500 feet
lower Tuscaloosa wildcat test. The
we'll is located in Section 7-T9N-
RTE.
Shows were confirmed by Undue
ton log and IS sidewall cores taken
from 3,0O3 to 1900 feet. Oil sands
were indicated from 4,157< to 4,167
feet and from 4,182 to 1922, for a
total net sand thickness of some
as feet.
The second potential sand was in
dicated in the top of a 75-foot solid
sand section from 4,182 to 4,257,
with some 35 feet on the top of the
sand showing oil. Oil-water con-
tact was indicated at 1922.
The unusual thickness Of the pay
section indicates a potentially large
Wilcox oil reserve and the posi-
bility of field considerably larger
than the average in this area.
Nearest production is from the
Tuscaloosa at Sicily Island, 5 miles
west of the Stutson well. Nearest
Wilcox production is about 10 miles
south, but from a much thinner pay
section than indicated in the Slut
son test. Thickness of the Wilcox
pay compares to that found at Es-
perance Point, some % miles to the
southwest.
The we'll is being drilled on a
block of over 1000 acres controlled
by the Ed E. Hurley estate, H. A.

Tulsa - Offshore operators are
in the market in a big way for
new equipment which can drill
easily in water deeper than 100
feet.
Having spent uncounted millions
in comparatively shallow waters,
offshore operators now are prepar-
ing to pour millions more into
equipment designed to withstand
the lashing waves and high winds
60 miles or farther from shore"
The Oil and Gas Journal says in
it's September IL issue.
Naval architects and oil-company
engineers have many new designs
on the drawing boards-some for
platforms which will operate in
water more than 100 #. deep, the
Journal says.
Farthest advanced of the new
designs is that of w. Horace Will
liams Co., Inc, New Orleans, the
Journal says. 1t is a permanent
"but reclaimable' platform which
will drill in 2O0-ft. water.
Unusual connectors permit the
operator to add height or width
to the platform. For a wildcat, a
small platform can be erected. If
oil is found, the platform can be
enlarged for drilling of other wells,
and still further enlarged to serve
later as a production platform.
In California, where offshore
drilling is expected to get going
in a big way within the next 6
months or a year, a revolutionary
design for 30O-ft. water has been
announced. This calls for so by

Problems between the Shrine and
the Grand Masters conference de-
veloped early in 1854, when DR..
Raymond E. Jackson, then Imper-
ial Potentate of the Shrine, be-
came involved in dispte with the
Grand Lodge. The Grand Masters
resented Jackson's use of power he
held through support Of the rank
and the Masons.
This dispute resulted in break
with the Shrine by several Of the
Prince Hall jurisdictions across the
nation. With this severance Of
relationship difficulties within the
Masonic family finally reached
their peak.
Legal Action Taken
In July, 1854, the Shrine took
legal action against the Grand
Lodges of Illinois and Georgia. At
this time an Illinois court rem
dered decision in favor Of the
Shrine. Principals in the case were
DR.. Jackson, representing the
Shrine, and Hall, representing the
Grand Masters conference.
Hall, who is also Grand Master
of Prince Hall Masons Of Okla
homa stated that the dispute be-
tween the Grand Masters confer
ence and the Shrine continued I'M
til last week based upon proposals
from the Grand Lodge.
The proposal, designed to restore
unity within the Masonic family,
was submitted to the Shrine dur
ing its saith annual session in De-
troit in August. At this time
Alexander was elected to the office
of Imperial Potentate as successor
to Jackson.
This change in the office of I'M
perial Potentate was one of five
major proposals submitted in a
statement to the Shrine and APP
proved by Grand Masters from 26
states and the District of Column
bia at Atlanta.
Asks Dismissal
Other such measures proposed at
this time included the following:
To declare and re-affirm the
principle and fact that the Shrine
is an appendant branch of Mason
ry made up of and constituted
solely and exclusively by Masons
and conducting it's affairs in con-
formity with established standards
of Freemasonry.
To dismiss legal actions against
the Grand Lodges of the States of
Illinois and Georgia.
To call a special session within
80 days after the adjournment of
the Imperial Council of August,
1855, at which time the following
proposals were submitted to the
electorate:
Other Proposah
(a) That a Code of Commission
be appointed for a revision of the
constitution, rules and bylaws.
(b) That the patrol tax be dis
continued and re-examination Of
present taxes and assessments b
made, having in mind the reduction
of the same as matter of econ
omy for the temples and the I'M
perial Council.
(c) That all business be trans
acted by the Imperial Council while
in session, except such administra-
tive functions as the Imperial
Council may direct.
The fifth Of these proposals
called upon the Shrine to restore
all Temples and members thereof
and members Of the Imperial
Council to their former status upon
payment of their 1865 dues.
