Communists Fail
In Court Appeal
WASHINGTON (AIM Harvey
MaUi (low'd self-described false
testimony against 13 convicted
Communist party leaders failed
to win a Supreme Court hear
ing for them Monday.
Without comment, the court
turned down for a second time
a plea by the 13 second string
bosses for a review of their case.
They were convicted in New
York in January, 1953, on
charges of subversive conspiracy
under the Smith act.
The high court’s denial of the
plea had no direct bearing on
separate proceedings in New

Attorneys for the convicted
party leaders raised numerous
legal points in renewing their
plea for a high court review, but
they reserved their hardest
words for what they called the
"use of paid informers" as gov- i
ernment witnesses.
Calling Matusow "one of the!
key witnesses in this case," the j
attorneys said “He has recently
admitted In a sworn affidavit
that he gave false testimony at:
the suggestion of the prosecution
and with the knowledge of the
prosecution that said testimony
was false.”
They added:
“Matusow’s admitted perjury
is but one manifestation of a
deep-seated threat to the ad
ministration of justice which
urgently calls for the correction
of this court.”
The government’s evidence,
the petition said, consisted of
testimony obtained through the
use of government agents whose
presence in Communist party
meetings can only be described
as fraudulent and hence consti
tuted a trespass" and “testimony
of ex-Communists who have be
come professional testifiers."

How our 125 “dry holes7' last year
helped keep you on wheels
If you’re anything like the average motorist,
you’ll use about 690 gallons of gasoline this
year. And that’s just a beginning. Keeping
you on wheels and supplying you with the
thousand and one “oil-born” products so
vital to modern living requires 2 gallons of
petroleum a day for every man, woman and
child in the U. S.—an increase of 58% since
• 1941. Helping to keep this oil flowing to you
is Standard Oil Company of California’s
biggest, most expensive, least predictable
job. In fact, we plan to invest $200 million
during 1955 alone in exploring for new oil
fields and developing existing ones, to help
replace the petroleum you’ll use.
Some 700 times this year, Standard drillers
will start bits spinning. As much as 16,000
feet of pipe may follow the bit before oil is
found or the well is abandoned. Either way
it's a costly hole: drilling an oil well may run
from $125,000 to over $1 million. And every
one is a risk—only 1 out of every 9 wells
drilled in the U. S. in a promising but un
proven area turns out to be an oilproducer.
Yet new sources of oil must be found to
keep our nation’s supplies from dwindling.
Risking “dry holes” is the only way to find
them. So the 125 “dry holes” we drilled last
year are good evidence of the job Standard
does to help keep you on wheels.
Standard plans ahead to serve yoa better
