Baptist Minister
Resigns From
Parole Board
By WARD SIMS

JUNEAU, R-Gov. William A
Egan said today his appointment
of an Anchorage minister to the
State Parole Board was never
executed because of the clergy
mans strong religious convictions.
The Governors comment came
after the Rev. FELTON, H. Griffin
of Anchorage's First Baptist
Church said he had submitted his
"resignation" as a member of the
Parole Board for political rea-
sons.
Griffin said he was doing so to
"get Gov. Egan off the hook"
The Anchorage minister said
Wendell Kay, Democratic CAM
paign chairman for Alaska, sought
to "oust me as a member of the
Parole Board and, if possible, to-
influence the membership of Crit
fins church to remove him as
pastor.
Griffin said his custer was
sought because of his outspoken
opposition to Sen. John Kennedy,
a Catholic, as the Democratic
presidential nominee.
During the 16 years in which
l have lived in Alaska have
been loyal and active in the
Democratic party" his statement
said. 81 have often jeopardized
my personal position as pastor of
one of Alaska's churches by bold
and open endorsement of some
of the Democratic candidates for
office.
'"I have never sought or asked
for any political appointment. The
only ones I have ever agreed to-
take are those without pay or
prestige: the Draft Board, Liquor
Advisory Board and the Parole.
Board.
"These l considered as oppor-
tunities for service rather than
political plums. Now that I can
not go along with the Democratic
nominee for President, I am to be
classified with those to be purged-
Before the oath of office could
be taken by Griffin, an extremely
strong attack on Catholicism ap-
peared in the Alaska Baptist Mes
sengers for September, under
Griffin's name.
The article said in part:
eve do not want in America
Communism or Catholicism. We
denounce them both"
Egan, in Anchorage shortly af-
ter the article appeared in early
September, said he was shocked"
at newspaper reports of Griffin's
article.
81 couldn't bring myself around
to having execute the oath of Of
flee when I realized he had such
strong feelings" Egan said.
Egan said differences in Grit
fins letter of resignation that
Kay had tried to apply pressure
of any kind on the Governors Of
flee were completely without
foundation.

TYRONE POWER
will be seen in the Leading
role in 1.-THE Rains Came, "
drama with an Indian set
ting scheduled for Sotur-

The Glacier reporter. [volume] (Browning, Mont.) 1953-current, 1960-01-14

The first well, according to a
spokesman, will be commenced
before June 80, 1860, about As
miles west of the Cut Bank oil
and gas fields.
The area which will be tested,
first, previously found natural
gas and light eondensate oils in
what was known as the Union Oil
Company Morning Gun well,
which was drilled in 1855 to an
approximate depth of $500 feet,
in the top of the Madison lime.
This we'll tested initially ap.
proximate six million cubic feet
of natural gas per day and 54
barrels of high gravity oil
This drilling operation was one
of the early tests on the Black
feet Indian reservation and re-
ceived national publicity.
The area has experienced great
ly increased interest as "a natural
gas prospect. In Montana, and
nationally, the ever increasing
demand and need for natural gas
has improved market possibilities
with the price of natural gas at
the wel1head expe-' encing an up
ward trend.
The Great Northern Drilling,
whose headquarters are in Bill
ings, indicated interest and faith
in the prospect and intends to
join with their associates in an
extensive drilling program as ade-
quate reserves are established
in the area. The agreement be-
tween Union Oil Company of
California and Great Northern
Drilling makes available to Great
Northern Drilling three separate
prospects in the Mountain Front
Disturbed Belt. The first is known
as the Two Medicine-M Morning
Gun Prospect; The second, as the
Running Owl PIospect, and the
third, the Duckhead Prospect, all
of which total in excess of $4,000
acres.
Great Northern Drilling hopes
to work closely with members
of the Blackfeet Indian Nation in
establishing drilling utilization
of the acreage blocks which are
in that area.
Many companies have watched
development of the Disturbed
Belt Mountain Front operations
in the Province of Alberta, Can
ada along the Rocky Mountains
to the north of Montana, where
some of the worlds largest natur-
al gas, condensate, sulphur and
oil productions has been estab-
lished.

Annual Reduction
Of Park Elk Herd
Nets 50 Animals

Initial work was started on the
1860 elk reduction program in
Glacier National Park at st. Mary
Monday, January IL, Superinten-
dent Edward A. Hummel announc-
ed today. The program under the
supervision of Assistant Chief
Ranger A. ID. Cannavina, in
charge of wildlife management
in Glacier, and Alton Hoover,
Sub-District Ranger at st. Mary,
calls for a reduction of approx
mately fifty animals.
The reduction program is car
ried out during the mid-winter
season in cooperation with the
Blackfeet Tribal Council and the
Blackfeet Agency. Four seasonal
rangers are hired on the project
in addition to the permanent per
sonnet for the duration of the
program. Distribution of the meat
to needy families of the Black
feet tribe is handled by the Black
feet Tribal Council.
Herd reduction in the st. Mary
area is an annual program to
maintain the elk herd at a level
that will not overtax the available
amount of Craze. Range condi-
tions are studied on a continuing
program by the park service as
they relate TO the elk movements.
Superintendent Hummel said
this years program will be an
average reduction for the St.
Mary herd. Weather conditions
will control the time required to
complete the project.

Reservation Lease
Sale Expected In
Latter February

The fact that a big lease sale
is pending on the Blaekfeef
reservation, and which will
probably be held near the end
Of February has been given
some publicity (pureIy Unoffi-
ciaI) has created considerable
interest among oil circles and
a lot Of speculation locally.
The sale will include some
12,907 acres of allotted land
$40 acres of tribal land in the
area north and west Of Brown
ing. In addition to this there
are also 1900 acres Of allotted
mineral and some tribal min
eral acreage coming up for
lease sale as soon as prelimin-
airy work is completed. Accord
ing to SUpt. Howard Johnson
the exact number of acres Is
not known at this time.
This does not come entire
Iy as q surprise, as we predict
ed several times last fall, due
TO the fact that there were four
seismograph crews working in
this area feverishIy all summer
and fall.
However, there are great
hopes that a strike Of CONNER.
eiaI gas may result as II was in
this area that the Morning Gun
well gave both gas and disfil-
late in considerable" quantity.
Before arrangements can be
completed for fhe sale. requests
for the sale must be approved
by the Tribal Council and then
sent to the area office for sp-
prevail after the date Of the
sale has been recommended by
the Agency Superintendent and
the council. A spokesman for
the Council indicated that &C.
tion by the Tribal Council may
be forthcoming at the Friday
meeting.
From all indications this sale
will be one of the LARGEST and
most attractive to be held on
the reservation, and will be OF
special interest TO this locality
with its possibilities Of opening
a new field and possible low
cost natural gas.
