Stanton Interest appears to be growing daily in renewed efforts nf a local orronn nroDOsing to prospect for oil. The newly organized company, Community Gas and Oil, is meeting good success, we are told, in its appeal for funds with which to bore anotner test noie. it is anucipmeu ficient money will be on hand in the very near future to finance drilling operations, officers report. Community Gas and Oil is the successor to Oil Develop ers, Inc. Oil Developers financed a test in Coles Valley two years ago. Although oil was not found, the hole proved the presence of marine beds of the type in which normally oil Js found, and disproved some previous geological theo ries that the area was covered with volcanic extrusions pre cluding possibility of oil in commercial quantities. The Coles Valley hole -was bored to a depth of approxi mately 8,000 feet and no volcanic rock was found. Instead, the formation was entirely of marine character. It was so badly folded, however, that further drilling became too ex pensive. In the event oil should be discovered elsewhere, it is quite probable that the Coles Valley hole would be re opened and continued to greater depth. , New Sir In Prospect Les Childs, local geologist, who has conducted exhaus tive studies of the area, and who has had his ,work checked by representatives of several large oil companies, has long wanted to explore the Melrose - Lookingglass area. He be ' lieves oil, if present, can be tapped at much less depth than at Coles Valley. He also believes it possible that gas in commercial quantities may be found, basing his theory both on the geological structure and the fact that gas is found in many wells drilled for water in that section. His long studies in southwestern Oregon lead him to believe that oil exists in commercial quantities in Douglas County. But, having had wide experience in wildcatting for oil, he freely admits that exploration is a long-shot gamble. Childs explains that the sea once extended far inland and that marine beds from which oil comes, were folded by pressure. It is in such formations, he says, that oil is trapped and held in basins. Numerous seepages 'in the Lookingglass, Melrose, and adjacent areas lead him to be lieve in the existence of a substantial pool of oil somewhere in that vicinity. , Some geological studies in the past have presented the theory that extensive volcanic extrusions from the Cascade range of mountains had covered the ancient sea beds, in which case the heat would have destroyed any captive oil. The theory also has been advanced that the pressures which created the Coast Range shattered formations to such an extent that any captive oil would have seeped out. These theories have largely been disproved by the Coles Valley test hole, Childs asserts. Locs! Men' Determined The first test was made by a group of Douglas Coun ty men who determined among themselves that the Coun ty's oil possibilities should be explored. They agreed the work should be done by local people rather than by out side concerns. Contributions were obtained;. to make the first test. The venture had to be abandoned. But, undiscouraged,- the chief investors retained their leases, went out and leased more land, set up a new corporation -and now are planning another test. ' ' One thing we like about their program i3 the fact that they make no attempt .to hide the risk assumed by invest ors. They openly admit the. venture is highly speculative. They seek contributions only from those willing to gamble on long odds and who can afford tfii lose. Contrasted with operations in which glib salesmen seek the life savings of the persons who can ill afford to gam ble, the local operation is deserving of commendation. Should the venture be successful the results would be sensational. A cheap source of fuel, either gas or oil, or both, would stimulate tremendous industrial expansion in addition to the excitement and income from an oil boom. Let's all keep our fingers crossed in the hope the proj ect pays off. . II Can Wait' He Says JJ$ f- .

For mutual safety many colla borating tcwni divide a script into lets, and the partners write alter nate Irenes. But the Hacketts he- Each does the same scene, and then comes the nerve-wearing job of piecing them together. "We fight, fight, fight every line of he way," said Frances. "And rewrite, rewrite, re write," murmured Hackett. "We used to have separate rooms, but now we write together in the same room, and that s bet ter," continued his wife. "We're closer in the clinches. We don't have so far to walk to fight, do we, Hacky?" "Um-m-m-m," murmured Hack ett. "I think It's a good thing wa fight so much over our work," said Frances. "That way we avoid the quarrels that other married people get mixed up in. We never tight at any other time, do wc, Albert?" "Oh, not much anyway," mm mured her husband. "Listen, Hackett," said Frances, "that three days I didn't speak to you it was quarrel about work. Remember? It's more interesting to fight about work than about whether you can afford new dress." "M-m-m-m-m," murmured Hac ked. In 1939 they both wearied of tnt writing strain and let their type writers rust for three years. "It Wll a Iftvalv narvAiia hr9lr. down," said Francei. "And we "joyed it together. We Just broke WASHINGTON - ( NEA) - It is highly significant that as the noisy clamor increases from a mi nority who want to take the United States out of the United Nations, Soviet Russia is stepping up its activities In the world organization. What seems to be shamne up here is a struggle between the Communist bloc and the anti-Com munist nations for UN control. If the United States were to give up the struggle by withdraw ing from the UN, it might be just as mucn ot a surrender as pulling U.S. troops out of Korea, Japan or Western Germany, On the other hand, if toe Rus sian imperialists can gain control of the United Nations, their pro gram of world revolution will be greatly advanced. Communist domination of the Security Coun. cil. for instance, would Rive the Russians a ready-made politburo tor running the world. . THIS MAY EXPLAIN WHY the Russians joined the United NaUons Educational. Scientific and Cultur al Organization, UNESCO, after Boycotting it tor eight years. UN ESCO has a big program of fun damental education for the more backward countries. This may also explain why Sov iet Russia, Byelorussia and the Ukraine .showed up at the recent Geneva conference of the Inter national Labor Organization, seek ing admission. Russia has boycot ted ILO since. 1939, when she walked out of the League of Nations. Any XM member may become an ILO member on application. Each country s delegation is made up of two government represen tatives, one employer and one trade union member. In the case of the Communist countries, there was naturally a question over whether employer and trade union delegates could be accredited in good faith, since the Red governments have abso lute control over both their man agement class and employes. , SO HERI WAS THE making ot a lirst-class fight in ILO. Amer ican delegates Gov. Arthur B. Langlie of Washington and Assis tant Secretary of Labor Ernest J. Wilkins, who have just return ed from Geneva, have filled in some of the detail not fully report ed in the cabled news. A two-thirds vote was required to upset the two-to-one majority report of the credentials commit tee, which favored seating the Communist employer and em ploye delegates. The United States, whose spokes man was Assistant Attorney Gen eral Warren E. Burger, took the position that while the Russian bloc government delegates had to bea seated under the ILO constitu tion, employer and employe dele gates did not, THE IDEAS OF ILO are not compatible with the slave labor camps of the Communist coun tries, he pointed out. The ILO would not survive at all if its rep resentatives were all dominated by monolithic governments like Russia. In spite of these arguments, the United States lost the fight. Out of a total of 2lt delegates from 69 countries, the votes were 105 for seating all Communist delegates, 79 against, 28 abstaining. So now the Communists have another foot in the door to work for the subversion of union labor all over the world. For the United States, however, this offers a new challenge. It is to require the Communist coun tries to bring their labor standards up to the. required ILO minima, to end the slave labor camps, and to free labor from totalitarian dic tatorship. This can be done, however, only by staying in the UN and its sub sidiaries. It cannot be done by walking out.

Have you been reading the weatner , -reports lately? it has oeen tiur-x-x-r Ml! (ana dry) back in the corn and soybean belt for days and days and when it's hot and dry back there for days and days at this time of year it means less corn and soybeans come harvest time. With less corn and soybeans in sight, buyers BID UP THE PRICE. But ' " ' You say How about the huge surplus ot price-supported corn piled up in previous years? Doesn't that ex ert a bearish influence on this year's corn prices? If there is a drop in corn production this year, due to heat and douth. won't this huge stored surplus come onto the market and keep the price from going up? Let's not be childish. This is an election year. Do vou think it would be likely that in an election year (with corn belt votes at stake) the stored-up SURPLUS ot corn would ne permitted to come onto the market and. PRE VENT CORN PRICES FROM GO ING UP because of heat and drouth? At any rate, the traders in Chi cago didn't seem to think so. In tlie face of a probable reduction in this year's corn-production they went right ahead and bid up the price. But You say again' If that's the case, how are we EVER to get rid of the huge sur pluses that accumulate when prices of certain basic crops are guaranteed at a figure high enough to result in continued over-production, regardless of supply and de mand? I wouldn't know. Maybe the surpluses will ROT someday and thus solve the prol lem for everybody but the tax payer, I hope you'll pardon those cyni cal cracks. I must have got out j of bed on the wrong foot. Let's turn to a more hopeful side of the j picture. The census sharps say that U.S population is increasing at a phen ; omenal rate. By 1875 (only two decades in the future) rising birth rates and declining death rates, they tell us. are expected to add from 40 million to 60 million to our present population, bringing the total up to 200 million or over. That would be half of China's present population. China is NEVER troubled by find surpluses. Her troubles arise out of food SHORTAGES. . So maybe we'll coma out all right in the end. Affected Area's Approval Necessary To Further Plan For Libby Dam's Erection By A.

Len Jordan to resign to take a federal job, in order to give the Eisenhower administra tion a better appearance of action in getting lomething tangible ac complished on Libby dam. Gov. Jordan is the announced choice of President Eisenhower for the vacancy on the Internation al Joint Commission, but be can't hold both jobs at once. So he has elected to complete his term at Boise,' which runs to the end of this yearj and the President has indicated the UC post will be kep open for him. The trouble with this set of cir cumstances, as McKay and other Northwest Republicans see it, is that they may have difficulty per suading citizcoi in the region that they are really pushing for ap proval by the UC of Libby dam when it will be another six months before the White House fills the existing American vacancy on the UC. McKay made what he consider ed to be a major announcement lar.t spring when he said the ad ministration was resubmitting to the IJC for its approvjfi the Libby. dam proposal. Adlai Stevenson and other Democrats have since chal lenged the sincerity of the admin istration in that move, pointing out that only last year the admin istration withdrew Libby from the lame IJC because the nroiect had been criticized due to ita location near the Canadian border. where it would inundate vast private tim ber holdngs and Great Northern railroad trackage. B'cJfwatar Is Problem In the past year, however, the Corps of Engineers picked a new site where the reservoir will do less damage to private property and it is that site which has been sent back to the IJC, which must OK it because the dam would back water into Canada. McKay early last week went to Bolton Landing, N. Y.. where the annual confab of governors was meeting. An Interior Department aide passed the word that he was going there to speak to Jordan about leaving Boise to take the IJC post as soon as possble. No announcement has come from the Idaho governor on the subject, nor is it known here what his decision may be. But from the standpoint of tne engineering as distinct from the political considerations on Lib by dam, government officials here explain that it matters little wheth er Jordan takes the IJC lob now or next January, as far as getting action on Libby is concerned. The reason is that engineers still have so much staff work to do at the Corps of Engineers' level that it will be January before the IJC can take a serous look at the implications of the new site for Libby dam. ' But Democrats are bound to make political capital of the lan guishing Libby proposal when they point to the vacancy on the IJC which has existed since last Feb ruary. Meanwhile, the IJC has numer ous other problems to deal with the navigation and power features of the St. Lawrence Seaway act recently passed by Congress, as well as the Niagara power develop ment which Congress is expected to take up before it quits. Washington Motorist Plans Radar Court Test SPOKANE M A Spokane motorist Dlan U Sfatp Qunrnm. Court test ot the legality of the State Patrol's use of radar in the arrest of highway speeders. Theodore Ryan was convicted in Justice Court on radar evidence of speeding 55 miles an hour in a 35-mile zone. He appealed but Superior Judge Louis Bunge up held the conviction, ruling, in ef fect, radar is accurate and can be admitted as evidence in court. Gates' attorney, John Cham pagne, said Monday Gates will carry the case to the Supreme Court, contending the state speed trap law is violated by using ra dar. The appeal also will challenge legality of the law creating the State Patrol, Champagne said, on xrounas it gives 10 appointive of ficers the riulieR anri nuthnritiat of elected sheriffs. to stamp out political brush fires in the east and west that might singe some Republicans in this fail's elections. Whether he sold Bis lormer guii ematorial cclleague from Idaho remains to be seen. ' Tennessee Ernie and Helen O'Connell make beautiful music together on...
