Higher Prices For Crude, Products
Seen Necessary For Oil Industry

prices can't 60 up until there IS
an actual shortage, or at least not
until most of the surplus is worked
off and the market begins to stiff
fen.
Some oil men think the econo-
mics of this situation makes it
absurd to try for q higher price
in the face of the laws of supply
and demand. A higher price would
stimulate faster production from
known reserves. Imports would be
stimulated. Current surplus would
become even worse. The price
would be forced down again soon,
perhaps to a lower point than at
present.
Other arguments point to the
negative public reation which
would be created by higher-priced
crude which would result in higher
prices for gasoline and other con-
sumner products.
Too, many who might otherwise
favor a price rise at this time,
feel that it might kill any chance
Of amending the national gas act.
1.-THE amount Of informal discus
sion now going on in the industry
indicates the serious thought being
given to the price Of oil and its
long-range affects on petroleum
operations. the Journal concludes.

The Important Issue

The old argument of which first the chicken
or the egg still might have implications for today
The question is frequently raised: Do get prn-
cipes from actions actions from our prn
ciples?
Take for example the whole problem of human
latons. There those who contend that have set
of Christian principles which learn, and all we have
to do is to apply those principles situations emerge
On the other hand there those who contend that
through experiences in the practical of living
develop fundamental principles and procedures
Strict adherence to either idea might create difficulties
While we always have guiding principles to follow
in dealing with any situation, it is not always easy
to decide what is Christian procedure in given situa
ton And is at the point of practice that greatest
problems arise. 1t is probably safe to say that
principles born out of practice and practices
born out of principles. And there are times when
they supplement each other.
Sometimes find ourselves in difficulty in interpret
ing principles in relationship to problems Whenever the
Interpretation of principle does not take into account
the sacredness of all human personality the procedures
likely express social njustces On the other hand
where does recognize these values he is than
likely to work toward the opmum development of the
human family. And the enrchng his practices be-
the support he gives to his principles There
times when both principles and practices stronger
this way.
The important issue is not which first 1t is
whether not they related to contribute to-
ward the improvement of life for all people

NAACP Pyrotechnics

Sometime before his untimely death, read the
following lines from poem written by the brilliant
Young Negro poet Harvard University graduate,
Countee Cullen:
Not for myself pray these prayers,
But for this of mine, that
Stretches forth from Swallowed places,
Dark hands for bread and wine
STRENGTHENED and buttressed by the philosophical
depth challenge of those words take the risk of
being placed in Attorney ThurgOOd MarshapS, BLACK
Snake" class, especially by the emotional and unreal
istic adherents of the NAACP by making comment
on the session of the State Conference of NAACP
Branches and its concluding session here Sunday where
Attorney Thurgood Marshall the principal speaker.
The United States Supreme Court influenced to
far larger extent by the threat of Russian Communism,
despite the great work of the NAACP in its decisions in
the school segregation cases. and those that followed
included it's decision this Monday is drawing the blue
print for pattern of life in the United States, and
the Architect of pattern of life in the United
States, the court is rapidly moving towards the COM
pletion of it's job.
When the architect has completed the job of draw
ing the blueprint the drawing is then given into the
hands of the builders the of whose job depends
the frness of the foundation with the builders hav
ing the greater responsibility of making the blueprint
a thing of reality
In fashioning into reality the blueprint being drawn
by the United States Supreme Court the people, at the
local levels become the builders and in the social sense,
their most important TOOLS tools which never
be developed and brought out by pyrotechnca display
What happened at the session of the state confer
ence of NAACP branches, and at it's closing session
Sunday was great example of NAACP pyrotechncs,
but with the United States Supreme Court rapidly APP
preaching the end of it's jobs if the organization hopes
continue to be able to help in bringing into reality the
pattern of American life it appears to us that the
time for the pyrotechnica approach to the Negroes
problems is also coming to end.

Seven Judges
Ordered To Hear
Tureaud Case

New Orleans, La. Nov. - The
Fifth United States Circuit Court
of Appeals en- banc, entered an
order on October 81, 1866 fixing
a hearing in the case of A. P.
Tureaud, Jr., seeking admission to
Louisiana State University before
the entire Court of Appeals of sew
en- judges consisting of Hutchinson,
Chief Judge, and Borah, Rives,
futile, Cameron, Jones and Brown,
Circuit Judges. {.
This unprecedented action results
from a division of opinion in the
court as to whether the case should
be tried before one of three judges
and also whether the judgment of
the Court of Appeals previously
rendered ordering the admission
to LSU of Negro undergraduate
students should be reversed or af-
firmed.
The case of A. P. Tureaud has
been before the District Court
twice, the Circuit Court of Appeals
three times and the United States
Supreme Court. 1t was the United
States Supreme Court which order
ed the admission of Tureaud to the
undergraduate school.
During September Troy Middle
ton, president of the University
stated that Tureaud could enter
Louisiana State University when
ever he desired to but that all
others seeking admission to the
undergraduate division would be
barred. No date has been set for
the hearing before the Circuit
Court of Appeals sitting en- banc.
1t is expected that the case will
be heard sometime this month or
in December.

Three School Boys
Win Carnegie
Hero Awards

Pittsburgh, Pa. - Three school
boys were among five Negroes cited
by the Carnegie Hero Fund Com
mission last week for exceptional
bravery during the 1854 year.
Bailey LIE Roy Willoughby, IA,
of Henderson, New, helped to res
cue an 18-year-old white youth
from falling from a mountain ridge
at Las Vegas on Aug. &c, 1854.
Without ropes or other protec-
ton, Willoughby and Howard R.
Giles, 12-year-old white schoolboy,
slid $50 yards down a steep slope
to reach Dana L. Peterson, 18,
who was seriously injured when he
lost his footing and toppled to
within eight feet of an almost
vertical drop-off of 1870 feet high.
Ronald E. Cole, Is, of Spring
field, Ohio, was cited for saving
a 10-year-old Negro youth and the
boys three sisters and one brother
from perishing in fire.
The children were asleep in bed
room in the one-story frame house
when flames broke out, Sept. &c,
1854. Unable to awaken them by
beating against the window pane,
Ronald forced open the locked front
door, awaken Samual R. Robinson
! onJ c.o+horo1 4bo fo,r x,n,,pror cb;l
dren in a heap and removed them
to safety.
! Another youth cited by the Car
negie Hero Fund Commission was
Earl D. Freeman, 16, of Oneonta,
N. Y, who saved Thomas R. Har-
rington, 6-year-old white boy, from
drowning.
Earl, a poor swimmer himself,
climbed onto a fallen tree, dived
into the water and drifted and
swan so feet to Thomas. They
were swept five feet farther down
stream by the current, but Earl
managed to grab hold of a project
ing tree limb and held the boy
until they reached the bank.
An award for heroism also went
to Robert w. Wright, 20 of Phil
adelphia, Pa, who died July II,
1865, while attempting to save
Mrs. Naomi M. Lyons, 30-year-old
colored woman, who fell into the
Mullica River. Swimming at an
angle to the current, Wright sank
and drowned about 20 feet from
Mrs. Lyons, who was later res
cued by a motorboat operator.
Also cited for bravery was Fin
ley Kicklighter, q, who saved
Thomas A Schneider, 7-year-old
white boy, from being killed by
train at St. Petersburg, Fla, on
Feb. 8, 1854.
James F. Fortenberry, Sc, white
amp repairman in Newark, N. j.,
vas cited for rescuing three Ne
FRO children from their burning
home Jan. II, 1855.

Crude Output
At Record Level

Crude oil production reached rec
ord levels in several countries in
August, but free world output on
the whole was fairly steady, The
Oil and Gas Journal reported to-
day. Total free world production
was 1925 900 barrels daily. This
figure included Austrial production
of around $1,000 barrels daily. On
August IS, Russia transferred to
the Austrian Government the Red
operated fields.
In Venezuela, a new record was
set as operating companies produc-
ed 2,169, 900 barrels daily, up g.
500 barrels daily over July, and
$4,000 barrels daily over the pre-
vious high set in February. A
similar increase in Iraq raised out
nut to over 100000 barrels daily
for the first time.
These gains more than made up
for a drop of 1O5,50o barrels daily
in Kuwait. The shaikhdom's out
put of 1,O46, 200 barrels daily was
down 90 per cent from July.
Other major free world produc-
ers had relatively small fluctuations
in August. Output in the United
States rose $4,000 barrels daily to
6665. 900 barrels daily. Canadian
output of 376, 900 barrels daily was
off %, 800 barrels daily. In Saudi
Arabia, production of $40, 200 bar
rels daily was close to the eight
month average of 943,500 barrels
daily. In Iran, the consortium pro-
duced $4,000 barrels daily, 5000
barrels daily over July.
A striking feature Of the over
all August picture was the num-
Der of small producers which set
records. In France, output was
around 10000 barrels daily, the
fourth all-time high in as many
months. This was due to further
development Of the new PARENTS

To one who has made many friends
And has befriended many
The Lord has called him from labor
To reward since his work has been
done.
Allow me to express these words
About a dear friend and nothing
less
Brother Bell has bid us all goodbye
To wait for a life of eternal rest.
He was a man lived an everyday
life
Cut hay every day the sun shone
He bailed his hay as he would cut,
And left many many bales behind.
l made a parable about the hay
To cut it when the sun would shine
Money is what | call hay
Because he saved it all the time.
He went to the house of God
His church was in his heart
He would always help to beautify
And always pay his part.
He was worthy Of all l can say
And no doubt more besides
You could always find him on his
way
To the house of God to abide.
He was d dear friend to me, I say
He was friend in every right way
He advised me long years ago,
When / was young and going
astray.
Now may say to the family and
friends
Wipe away your tears, ne is bless
He is going to sleep in yonder
grave
And there wait for all the rest.

Each time it has risen little out
