Holt Shepherds 12 Korean Children To Plane En Route To New Home In Oregon
TOKYO im Harry Holt, 50.
a grizzled Pied Piper, shepherded
12 Korean - American babies
through crowded Tokyo Interna
tional Airport Thursday to a plane
taking them to new homes in the
United States.
Of the 12, eight have been adopt
ed by Holt of Creswell, Ore.
Holt, a bushy-browed rancher
and sawmill owner, had been in
Korea since June completing ar
rangements. Four of the children will be
adopted by three other American
families.
The children range in age from
8-month-old Betty to Joe, 3 hi.
Some were earned by newsmen,
customs officials and passengers.
Others toddled along uncertainly,
threatening every "minute to get
lost.
Their faces were streaked with
tears and their noses were run
ning, defying the best efforts of
Holt, a nurse and cooperating pas
sengers to mop them fast enough.
"I count them every so often to
make sure they are all here,"
Holt said, wearily reaching an arm
ojt to corral 3-year-old Christine.
Holt has five daughters and one
son of his own, who will help his
wife Bertha bring up the eight new
comers on their 350-acre ranch out
side of Creswell, Ore.
"My daughters can't wait until
these kids get there. As long as
we've been blessed with so much
room and such a good place to
play and our own kids are grown

All-Out Battle Shaping Up
Between Fuel Oil, Natural
Gas Giants Within Year
By LEROY HITTLE
ASSOCIATED PRESS WRITER
An all-out struggle for the Pa
cific Northwest heating market
shaped up this week as the fuel
oil and natural Ras giants flexed
their muscles for the impending
battle.
The showdown will come next
year when natural eas is piped to
the Northwest from Colorado and
New Mexico. Distributors in the
area say it will be cheap enough
to enable them to compete with
oil for space heating customers.
The cold war already is under
way. The oil industry, observing its
annual Oil Progress Week this
week, emphasized its home-heat
ing service, its big payroll, and
its heavy investment in multi-million
dollar refineries at Anacortes
and Kerndale.
Natural gas forces, led by Ray
Fish of Houston, Tex., showed
Northwest newsmen and gas dis
tributors vast Colorado and New
Mexico gas fields and took them
on an air tour along the route of
a 1,466-mile pipeline that will car
ry the gas to customers in Colo
rado, Utah, Wyoming, Idaho, Ore
gon and Washington.
The battle for the Pacific North
west market will bring the grow
ing area a tremendous increa.se
Wn heat and energy for its homes
and factories. The new energy,
added to the favorable supply of
hydro-electric power, should open
the way to new industrial expan
sion. Plans for several new plants
and expansions of existing ones
already have been announced. ' I
The Oil Heat Institute reported
energy equivalent to approximate
ly five times as much as Grand
Coulee and Bonneville Dams com
bined is being produced annually
by heating oil refineries in the
Northwest.
And. the Institute added, energy
production will be increased to an 1
amount equivalent to seven times,
the two dams by 1956.
The natural gas industry present
ed some figures, too.
C. K. Williams, president of Pa
cific Northwest Pipeline Corpora
tion, said a daily load of 250 mil
lion cubic feet of natural gas will
be delivered to the Northwest by
next July.
That amount of heat energy is
equivalent to all the electrical pow
er" produced in the area. Williams
said.-And, he continued anothoT
300 million cubic feet a day will he
imported from Canada if an appli
cation now penning belore the red
eral Power Com mission is a p-
proved, boosting the total to twice
the amount ot eiecinc power gen
era ted in the Pacific Northwest.
