Oil Progress Week
a i . ....
oumeumcs we tninK we're getting a little weak
with weeks. Each week that comes along we're reminded
mat we re celebrating the anniversary of some organi-
iauuii or inaustry.
Today we are nearing the end of Oil Progress Week,
Kvmcii is a iiuie aiiicrcnt, as weeks go.
It is different because oil progress in the past 96
ears, ever since Drake brought in his first well at a
Jittle place called Titusviile, Pa., 06 years ago, has been
so startling and affects the lives of all of us so much
During that 96 years oil has truly become the uni
versal fuel. Marketing organizations have made it uni
versally available thoughout the world at prices which
Jiave remained remarkably stable throughout the years.
T When that first oil well was drilled, the industry
-threw away most bf its product. Kerosine, for lighting
purposes, was sought, and the lighter and heavier ends
. if the raw petroleum were discarded.
That picture soon began to change, however, particu
larly with the advent of the internal combustion engine,
.and oil and autos moved forward hand in hand.
So it remained until some 80 years ago, with fuel,
lubricants and paving material accounting for the great
bulk of petroleum uses.
-' During that most recent period, however, the evolu
if petroleum recovery and by-prbduct development has
been a remarkable story, worthy of the press agent's
most lavish adjectives.
; The original use of petroleum, producing kerosine
for lighting purposes, has largely gone by the wayside.
Now the chemists have produced nearly 500,000 different
products from petroleum, and new ones are appearing
.fcvcry day. Oil is being used to drive our vehicles, pave
pur streets, heat our homes, fertilize our farms and ran
ches, clothe our bodies, preserve our food, heal our
wounds and literally thousands of other purposes.
1 , Oil has flowed and been pumped from the ground
Ijn tremendous quantities during that past 96 years, but
jo far as is known the discovery of new fields has left
Hhe world's reserves about where they were at the start
of World War II about 32 billion barrels, nearlv half
of which are in the United States and a large part of
-the remainder being under the control bf American oil
Companies. '
- The uses of Vetcroleum, both in peace and war, are
jto many and so important that they are almost beyond
understanding. Ott Progress Week surely touches nil of
"lis quite n bit more than the runlof-thc-mill "weeks
-of which we havo too many. I

;74 Despicable Act
A Ciilifornian whose car skidded on an icy spot on
U.S. 97 in the Lava Caves ami and turned over is a
patient at the local hospital, lie will be there for some
time.
His stay at the hospital would have been shortened,
very likely if it had not been for a passing- motorist.
Readers of The Bulletin will recall the accident:
James Green, and his sister, Ella, were injured when
their car turned over. The man was seriously injured,
and was in shock. His sister, loss seriously hurt, stopped
a passing motorist and asked that an ambulance and
medical aid be sent out from Bend.
The motorist promised he would heed the request,
ana headed riorth for Bend.
Other motorists stopped. All offered help, or volun
teered to call an ambulance. But Miss Green told them
an emergency call for aid had already been sent into
Bend, and that ihe ambulance should arrive any minute.
But the minutes dragged, and they lengthened into
hours. The badly injured man remained beside the road
for two hours.
The call for help was never delivered in Bend.
Mr. Green has been joined by his wife. They hold
no unfriendly feeling for the community. They know
there is no racial antagonism here.
Residents of Bend feel that the motorist who failed
to give help is not a citizen of Oregon, or of any state.
Jlis refusal to give aid to the injured couple was one
of the most despicable acts ever charged against a motor
ist in this stale.

DENVKR ( NEA) Before his
heart attack President Eisenhower
had perfected brand - new t'-vh-niques
in public administration and
pulitlal science in his running of
cne nuge united Mates govern
ment , from the Summer White
House here.
This was fortunate for the coun
try.
One of the keys to Ike's great
ness has been u genius for run
ning such giant operations as the
war in Europe smoothly and ef
ficiently. Mis secret has always-
been establishing clean lines of
authority, picking able staff people
ann then giving them the proper
authority to do their jobs.
Ih' has Hhvwys exerefsed his con
trol and direction by firm buf
slight, deft tugs on the reins at
just Ihe proper moment.
In the special Denver situation
lie also insisted on an elaborate
communications system to keep
Ihe agencies nnd top officials as
lose as possible to him by tele
phone.
And in view of the crisis of his
heart attack and the period of con
valescence which will follow, the
mechanics of the whole Denver
setup which Ike has created shapes
up as an even smarter operation.
is h iii.uifM oi i.iei, some rte ici
publican big shots arc hopefully fAP'
i' ,'iimini th;it Ihn lliwivnr.lvtin yrr
ministiMtivr technique might per
mit Ike to run aq;iin.
The Army Stcnal Corps installed
Ihe communications system for the
President. And it functioned
beautifully during the acid test it
got right after Ike's ;ilt;ick.
The open lines to the White
House in Washington thai h id been
set up were promptly used to in
from Vice President Nixon and
other Cabinet officials of whal hat!
haptfMiod. Several conference ca!N
involving Cabinet members and
actlnq White House press secretary
Murray Snvder the ranking White
lbmse staff man on deck at the
time Avere quick! v set nn.
During these calls all of the de
cisions were made on how to
handle the announcement to thp
press, who should fly to pem
and who should remain in Wash
ington, and generally w hat the
members of tho Cabinet should say
about the situation.
It was also decided by confer
ence call that Secretary of Statu
Dulles, Secretary of the Treasury
Humphrey and Agriculture Secre
tary Benson would go on to Ottawa
as planned, for an economic con
ference with Canadian officials.
Secretary of Om'.meree Weeks
was already in Canada. But he was
in on the telephone meetings, too.
As It turned out the whole Den
ver administrative operation which
Ike had perfected was ideally suit
ed for the shifting o certain func
tions of government to Vice Pre
sident Nixon with no confusion.
Anil it will be perfect for the
gradual resumption of - official
duties by Ike when his health per
mits, Tim President had boon spend
ing three to four hours each morn
ing on official chores before taking
off for golf.
Naturally this meant that his'
work had been carefully screened
to make the most efficient use of
his time. And (fianks largely to the
adroit work of appointment secre
tary Bernard Shanley the number
of persons Ike had to see during
the week was kent to a minimum.
What this really did was to give
the White House staff experienced.
sure administrative control over
the work- load of the job of the
presidency.
Thai's in sharp contrast to what
the White House staff would have
been able to do if former President
Franklin Roosevelt had had a
drawn-out illness requiring a sys
tematic restriction of his work.
The memoirs of President Tru
man, now appearing in Life Maga
zine, testify to the administrative
confusion that existed in the White
House following Roosevelt's death.
And Truman himself did not
come up with any administrative
techniques adaptable to the pos
sibility of his being sick for a long
period. Truman performed a mnim
tain of chores in the job. Un
doubtedly far more than he needed
to tend to personally.
Before the heart attack Ike's
poJ j t ical opponents were t rying
hard to make hay out of his pro
longed Denver stay. They said inl
effect that he had vacated the pre
sidency.
