Rotary Activity
Rises Sharply

Dallas-For the second consecu-
tive week, a sharp increase has
been reported in rotary drilling op-
erations in the United States and
Canada.
During the week ended Deem
Der, rotary rig activity rose to 2842
in the two countries. This repre-
scented an increase of 1874 units for
the week. The increase included 5
additional rigs busy in Canada and
1926 additional units in the u. S.
Largely responsible for the u. S.
gain was Texas where all areas
had a higher level of operations
bringing the states total to 1913
units, an increase of 76 from the
previous week. Kansas had an in
crease of Is, New Mexico was up
IA and Oklahoma operators drew
13 rigs from the idle list. M
Minor increases were reported
for few states with the largest
net drop being five units each in

Success Story:
Thousands OF
Polio Victims
Try Comeback

Little Wando Bradley, now going
on six, has a wonderful success
story to tell her playmates these
days in her home town of Alex
andria, La. It's the kind of sue
cess story Americans everywhere
can be proud of, for it was made
possible by their donations to the
March of Dimes.
On June 8, 1856, when Wanda
was only four, she was struck down
by spinobulbar polio. Paralysis af-
fected her limb muscles. Worse, she
couldn't breathe. Her survival de-
pended on an iron lung, which was
rushed to her aid by the local chap
ter of the March of Dimes organi-
cation.
Later, as her lung muscles gained
strength, she was graduated to a
rocking bed, another device to help
her breathe. Still, this kind of sur
vival wasn't enough-not in this
day when medicine and research
have devised new and advanced
techniques to help the polio-dis-
abled stage a comeback to near
normal, happier lives.
Through physical therapy in the
hospital and at home, Wanda's leg
muscles were re-educated to func-
ton again. At first she needed
braces. Now she has tossed them
aside. She walks and runs again.
For Wanda and her family the fu-
ture now holds great promise.
Wanda is only one of thousands
of patients, children and adults,
who are making partial or complete
comebacks from crippling polio

Senator James o. Eastland,
Chairman

committee

Washington, D. C.
Dear Senator Eastland:
The American Council on HUI
man Rights (ACHR) urges you to
apply a single standard toward in
vestigating threats to the internal
security of the United States
whether threats of communism OF
of white citizens councils.
The American Council on HUI
man Rights, whose members are
thousands of college fraternity and
sorority people, notes the continu-
ing failure of the Internal Security
Subcommittee to investigate the
activities of the citizens councils

tons which act illegally to endang-
er the lives of Negro citizens in
the South and thereby affect the
internal security of the nation.
ACHR notes your allusion yes.
terday to a double standard in the
use of the Fifth Amendment. This
Council wonders whether you are
applying a double standard, that
is, one standard in Investigating
the threat of communism to the
nations security and another stan
dard in failing to investigate q
similar threat to the country in
the actions of the citizens councils
or like organizations.
We strongly urge you, as Sub
committee chairman, to exert the
leadership that will result in the
Senate Internal Security Subcom-
mittee investigating the threat to
this country in the actions of the
citizens councils.
This Council looks forward to
your reply to this request.
Yours truly

OffshOre Operators
Get Gloomy Look

Offshore operators, and especi-'
ally drilling contractors, are
gloomy folks these days.
Production cutbacks account for
most of the pessimism, The Oil
and Gas Journal says in it's De-
cember Is issue. This is closely
rivaled by the decline in wildcat
ting.
While it is generally agreed that
both of these conditions are tenn
porary, third factor-rising casts
probably will become worse.
A levelng off in tidelands drill
ing was inevitable. AS was to be
expected, the trend hit wildcat
drilling first. But in the present
gloom, the Journal points out, it's
frequently forgotten that 1857 has
been a record year in offskore drill
ing.
Statistics compiled by a major
oil company list 526 we'll drilled
off the Texas and Louisiana coasts
during the first 9 months of this
year. This figure for the first
three quarters already surpassed
the total of sos for the entire year
1856, itself a record breaker.
The plight of offshore drilling
contractors is serious, the Journal
reports. Latecomers have been
hardest hit. Some of them, faced
With huge payment on multimil-
lion-dollar rigs, are threatened
with bankruptcy.
However, according to the Jour
nal, with a little increase in do
nestle oil demand, the offshore
province may suddenly regain
some of its glamor next year. For
optimism is almost as contagious
as pessimism. And even the pessi-
mists are convinced there's lots OF
oil under the Gulf just waiting to
be found.

labor leaders, ACHR observed that
the Senator's use of the term dou-
BILE standard certainly raises the
question whether the Subcommit-
tee has failed to use a single
standard in determining what is
and isn't a threat to the nations
security.
The ACHR letter, which was
signed by DR.. Paul Cooke, ACHR
Consultant, concluded by urging
the Senator, as Subcommittee
chairman, "to exert the leadership
that will result in the Senate In
ternal Security Subcommittee in

The people's voice., 1958-06-27

Probably the most significant OBJ
servation that can be made on the ac-
tivities of the 1857 Legislative Assem-
bly, is that much good legislation,
whether pertaining to schools, high
ways or labor, made the grade with
comparatively little difficulty in the
House, only to be killed by coalition
of Republicans and GOP-minded Dem
ocrats in the Senate The record that
follows shows how a small bloc of
Senate Democrats consistently voted
against their party colleagues and
their 1856 campaign platform, nulli-
flying the 31-25 nominal majority their
party had in the upper chamber.

with the cost of living at all-time high
there are still employers paying less than
fifty cents an hour to employees, and very
sizeable percentage of workers earning under

exceptions, would have made payment of at

weight-distance method for purposes of taxing
heavy trucks, in accordance with findings of
the Montana Highway Fact-Finding Commit
tee resulting from 18 months study of

HB 326 made it through the House, after a
prolonged opposition inspired by the trucking
lobby, 47-44, with 46 Democrats and one
Republican voting for this proven equitable
method of assessing the trucks their fair share
of highway costs. Ten Democrats Joined "a

Schools, Oil Legislation

HB 127-By House Committee on Educa
tion-The School Foundation Program. Bill
proposed increasing budgeting authority OF
local school boards by Is per cent. A
compromise was finally reached on a
basis of increasing the budgeting au-
thority by lob per cent. The key Senate
vote on HB 127 was on minority report of
the Senate Education Committee by Cotton,
Carney, Clark. Durkee and Holland that the
upper chamber approve the full Is per cent
allowed by the House. Twenty-one Democrats
and one Republican voted for Cotton's minor
ity report; nine Democrats and 23 Republicans
voted against approving the IS per cent House

have at least "five years teaching experience

tratve experience - in addition to hold
ing masters degree from a recognized uni
versity or college. SUBJ HB 119 contained
a grandmother clause to exclude the in
cumbent superintendent, Harriet Miller, from
its provisions. Sub. HB 119 passed the House
44-29 with 43 Democrats and one Republican
favoring passage, and 26 Republicans and
three Dmocrats voting "Nay"
HB 31-by Tonner and Helding-to repeal
the 121a per cent school oil royalty ceiling
set by the 1851 Legislative Assembly. HB 81
proposed that the arbitrary royalty ceiling
first 5000 barrels per month production per
well be repealed and in it's place the land
board be allowed to set minimum royalty
(of 2h per cent? in both wildcat and proven
areas" on school oil leases. Under the 1851
law, even though a school tract be adja-
cent to "proven area the land board cannot
set a royalty on first 5000 barrels production
higher than IL " per cent. Opponents of this
maximum royalty provision insist that it pre-
vents the schools from receiving the constitu-
"full market value" of
school oil leases.

Democrats and two Republicans voting for
32 Republicans and three Democrats
voting against repeal In the Senate six Demo-
Gratis renged on the repeater pledge given the
