Safety Measures
In OffshOre Work
Receive Praise

SAN ANTONIO, Tex Mar. g.
U. s. Coast Guard Captain J. c..
Wendland paid tribute today to
the joint governmental industry
effort to work out sensible safety
measures in offshore drilling oper-
atoms.
He said the Coast Guard formed
a panel of industry advisors to
help write safety measures for
artificial islands and fixed struc-
lures on the Continental Shelf. The
rules will be in force in July.
The government asked counsel
to prevent unnecessary harassment
Of industry and still be effective,
Captain Wendland, Marine Inspec-
ton Officer, 9th Coast Guard Dis
trict, New Orleans, told the South
ern District meeting of the Amer
lean Petroleum Institute production
division.
"The only effective solution to
effective regulations is govern
ment- industry cooperation" he
said. "The net results of this de-
sirable attitude will be the setting
of standards to insure safety with
out hindering industry. The gov
eminent advocates this coopera-
ton"
He asked the industry to keep
the Coast Guard constantly in
formed on running problems in the
field or the purpose of regulation
will be lost.
The Panel Of Advisors selected
from industry paves the way for
mutual cooperation between the Pc
troleum industry and the Coast
Guard. It is in every sense of the
word the key to team work in the
promotion of safety, he said.
"The Coast Guard pays tribute
to this government-industry group
for its active interest and partici-
patton in joint endeavors in the
public interest,"" the Captain said.

Later, Jeanette Reese, one of

It was on this point that the
charges were brought against
Gray, accusing him of represent

Thetford made q motion to drop
the charges in the hearing last
week, after witnesses failed to ap-

The solicitor said, however, that

Negro And White
Students Agree To
Stop Fighting AT
Illinois School

PEORIA, ILL.,, March IL. - A
group Of Negro and white high
school students shook hands today
in Peoria and agreed to halt Sc
ries of fights which at times have
involved as many as so boys.
The dramatic pledge took place
at two special assemblies at Pc
oria's Manual Training High School
where 1000 students are enrolled.
The school authorities believe
the youngsters themselves have
solved a bad situation-before po-
lice action became necessary.
A Gray Adamson, principal of
Manual high, conferred last night
with the school board and police
officials. They decided to assemble
the entire school body and lay the
cards on the table.
Mrs. Donna Sims, a Negro po-
lice matron, told the assembly she
had received several calls about
the disturbance. She said:
81 didn't want to believe it was
true. A serious mistake was made
and the participants have disgraced
their school. They have let their
teachers down and shamed their
parents"
The police matron added:
"You are the best goodwill am
bassadors in this matter"
Her talk was greeted by applause
and boys who had participated in
disturbances made public apologies
and shook hands.
