Engineering Aids
Deep Drilling In
OffshOre Waters

Houston-An offshore engineer
ing feat Of remarkable proper
tions which enabled the drilling
Of a we'll from a fixed platform
in waters more than 200 feet deep
was announced this week by J.
Ray McDermott and Company,
Inc.
1t was the first time that drill
ing in water that deep had been
accomplished except from float
ing vessel. The accomplishment
was made possible by a structure
fabricated in the McDermott yard
in Morgan City for the Gulf Oil
Corporation. The structure was a
two well platform built for Gulf
in Block 131, Timbalier Bay area,
in offshore Louisiana waters.
The massive unit, weighing 385
tons, 230 feet high, is 80 feet
square at the base, 80 feet square
at the top, and was set in place
as a template with 235 feet of
piling in each of the four legs. The
jacket was transported and in
stalled by the company's own mar
inc equipment.
Two mammoth derrick barges
were used to lift the structure from
a cargo base, place it in the water,
rotate it to vertical position, and
then drive the piling which pene-
trated an additional 230 feet into
the Gulf floor.

period was the Civil Rights Act
Of 1867, which also sought to add
to the protection of Negro voting
opportunities.
House leaders said they expected
to succeed in arranging for ac-
ceptance of the Senate changes.
This would avoid a Senate House
conference to adjust differences
that would give the Southern min
ority another chance to delay or
alter the final measure.
The key figure in this connection
was Representative Howard w.
Smith, Democrat Of Virginia. Mr..
Smith, one of the most vigorous
opponents Of the civil rights mea-
sure, was being counted on to stall
the measure in the House Rules
Committee of which he is chair
man.
The Senate bill is destined to
go before the House on Monday.
There, a proposal by one of the
civil rights advocates for imme-
date consideration of the Senate
bill is expected to be baked by
opposition from at least one Of the
Southerners. Immediate considera-
ton would require unanimous con-
sent of the House members.
The expected next step will be
to turn the Senate bill over to the
Rules Committee, which has the
authority to place the bill before
the House. However, as in the past
Mr.. Smith is in a position to de-
lay calling a meeting of the Rules
Committee.
Nevertheless, Northern Demo-
Gratis and Republicans in favor
of the civil rights legislation out
number the Southern Democrats
on the committee by 8 to A. This
majority is expected to force a
meeting and approval of a resolu-
ton to report the bill to the floor
for a vote.
According to the rules, Mr..
Smith can engineer as much as a
ten-day delay in holding the COM
mittee meeting and perhaps furth-
er delays in the course of the meet
ing itself. But all sides here agreed

made out prima facie case under
the minimal standards which it is
required to meet at this stage of
the trial."
Previously, Judge Bryan had
thrown out a third count, charging
willfull evasion of taxes on a joint
return field in 1852. The Govern
ment conceded it had not intro
duced enough evidence to substan-
tiate that charge.
The penalty for conviction on
any of the three counts is five
years in prison and fine of $780,
900.
Yesterday Judge Bryan also
overruled another defense motion
for acquittal made on the ground
that there had been no evidence
before the grand jury to support
the crime charged. There was such
evidence, he held, even though the
Government had conceded that the

had charged Mr.. Powell with
evading a tax payment by under
stating the 1851 income of his
wife. The judge concluded that no
tax was due because of testimony
showing duplication in income re-
ported and failure to deduct 81, 900
in tax paid in Britain.
1t was his opinion that the
Government had established cat
least prima facie" that there had
been a substantial understatement
of income on the 1851 return that
Mr.. Powell had filed for his wife.
He also held that the Government
had established other necessary
elements for the trial to proceed
on the charge of filing a false
return with intent to defraud.

Silent Night Hymn
Is Often Called
Song from Heaven

"Silent Night" is often called
the Song from Heaven" be-
cause the story of its inspira-
tion and composition is one of
the most beautiful Christmas
stories in existence.
On December "a, 1878, in the
Austrian village of Hallein, as
Father Joseph Mohr sat reading
his Bible, there was a knock at
his door. 1t was a peasant wom-
an who wanted the priest to WIS.,
it poor charcoal-maker's wife
to whom a child had been born.
The parents had sent her to ask
the priest to come and bless the
infant.
Father Mohr was strangely
moved by the visit to the moth
er. And that evening as he re-
turned to his home saw that the
dark slopes of the Alps around
the village were alight with
torches of the mountaineers on
their way to church. To him it
was a Christmas miracle.
Later, as he tried to put down
on paper his feeling and expert
ence, the words kept turning in
to verse. When dawn came he
found he had written a poem
a beautiful and moving poem.
On Christmas Day his friend,
Franz Xaver Gruber, music
teacher in the village school,
composed music to fit the ver-
seS.
Village children heard the
priest and teacher singing the
song and learned it. From there
it spread throughout the world.
Today, it is regarded as the
greatest Christmas hymn and
wherever there are men of good
will they sing:
Silent night, holy night
All is calm, all is bright,
Round you Virgin, Mother and
Child;
Holy Infant, so tender and mild,
Sleep in heavenly peace
Sleep in heavenly peace"

State POulatiOn
Increases 1913 %

Recently released official re-
suits of the 1860 Census have
served to confirm the claim that
Delaware, percentagewise, is one
of the Nations fastest growing
states, advises the Delaware
State Development Department.
The final tabulations accredit
Delaware with an official 1860
population of 446, ,292, an in
crease of 128,207, or 40.3 per-
cent over its 1850 population
which was 3l8,085. Only Flor
ida, 1877 cercent; Nevada, 1872
percent; Alaska, 75.8 percent;
Arizona, 1877 percent; and Cali
fornia, 48.5 percent, made great.
er gains, percentagewise, be-
tween 1850 and 1860. In sew
enth, eighth and ninth place, re-
spectively, are New Mexico,
1876 percent; Colorado, 32.4 per-
cent; and Maryland, 1928 per-
cent.
Although Delaware has pass
ed another state, Vermont, in
the population standings, it still
remains in 46th position due
to the fact that newly-admitted
Hawaii, with 632,772 people, ap-
pears in the standings for the
first time. In 1850 Vermont,
then 45th, topped Delaware
377,747 to 318,085; the First
States gain of l28,207 since
1850 far overshadows Vermont's
l2,l34 gain for the same per.
iod. Delaware also has great
er population than Wyoming
330,066; Nevada, 285,278; and
Alaska, 226,l67, notes the Oe.

Vet Dependents
Income Reports
Due in 30 Days

Approximately 100 disabled
veterans and dependents oi
some 1900 deceased veterans in
Delaware who receive monthly
pension payments, are being re.
minded by the Veterans Admin.
istration to report their annual
income promptly and avoid the
risk of having their payments
stopped.
Leon Fields, manager of the
VA regional office at Whining
ton, said that VA is now mail
ing to all pension recipients a
tabulating card upon which the
income report may be made.
Pensions cease under the old
pension law if the income of a
single individual exceeds ST, ,40C
or $1,000 if the recipient has
dependents.
Under the new law, Mr.. Fields
pointed out, pensions will cease
if the income of single indi-
vidual exceeds $l,800, or $4,000
if the recipient has dependents
The amount of pension may be
reduced if the recipients annual
income rises from one of the
lower brackets-$600 and ST, ,20O
for a single veteran or widow
without dependents, and $1,000
and $1,000 for a veteran or wild
ow with dependents.
Dependent parents who re-
ceive dependency and indem-
nifty compensation also receive
income questionnaires and their
payments are similarly regulat-
ed by the amount of their in
come, Mr.. Fields added. Regu-
Iations require payment to be
stopped if the income report is
not returned to the VA within
80 days.

AnIndispensable
Xmas Ingredient
Is Loving Heart

A riddle, lords and ladies, to
keep Christmas bright: What is
the one thing Christmas can't
do without? What is the secret
"X' ingredient in Christmas? Is
it holly? Mistletoe? A twinkl-
ing tree? Plum pudding? Piles
of presents? Carols in the street
or turkey in the oven?
No, none of these. No shop
sells the indispensable ingredi-
ent of Christmas, yet anyone
can have it without paying a
penny. Of course, you've guess
ed it. The only indispensable
ingredient of Christmas is a low
ing heart. Take away all the
trimmings-the turkey and the
tree, the glitter and the rustl-
ing of the gifts, the candlelight
and cake. 1t would still be
Christmas in the hearts of peo-
pie gathered together out OF
good feeling for each other.
If you want the best Christ
mas of all this year, stretch the
Christmas tree trimming to in
clude someone who has no tree
Put two or three extra chairs

none of their own. If there are
