Paper
Put Out
Despite Strike
Little Rock, Ark., Dec. 19 (VP)
A strike of more than 20 news
men and photographers over
half the staff failed to affect
publication of today's Arkansas
Gazette.
The first edition rolled off the
presses at 10:47 p.m Sunday,
seven minutes ahead of sched
ule. A skeleton staff of supervis
ory employes, editorial writers
and three reporters are getting
out the paper. The Gazette em
ploys 30 on its news and pho
tographic staff.
Publisher High B. Patterson
said the 131-year-old Gazette
will continue its daily morning
editions "as long as we are phy
sically able; we believe that will
be quite awhile."
Pickets continued their walk
in front of the Gazette building
today. The picket line went up
about four hours after the strike
was called at noon Saturday.
They went on an around-the-clock
schedule this morning.
Strikers are members of the
American Newspaper Guild
(CIO).
WILL' HER HAND BE SAVED?
Have Prayers of Thousands
For Betty Been Answered?
Brownsville, Tenn., Dec. 19 'Pi Maybe the prayers of thou
sands for little Betty Marbury have been answered. At least.
Betty may find out this week.
A wealthy New York man announced Saturday he will put
up whatever money is needed to help her save her hand from a
surgeon's knife.
Betty and her father, Liay
Marbury, will fly to Boston
Wednesday to see a famous spe
cialist. The New Yorker, who
asked that he not be named, will
finance everything.
The Boston doctor, who also
asked to be anonymous, will ex
amine her Thursday and make a
final analysis.
Several weeks ago doctors in
Memphis told Betty. 10, her hand
may have to be cut on snoruy
after Christmas if a malignant
lesion does not respond to treatment.
Betty asked people every
where to pray that she may keep
her hand. In a letter to the
Memphis Commercial Appeal.
she said:
"My doctor says he fears that
he will have to amputate my
hand. I want those who read
this letter, if it is published, to
pray that I may completely re
cover. I believe the Lord will
answer their players."
News services carried her plea
over the nation. The response
was tremendous. More than
7,000 letters and packages
swamped the modest Marbury
farm house near here. Prayers
were said in churches and homes
throughout the country.
Overwhelmed and happy, Bet
ty said she was convinced the
prayers would be answered.

1. On old wives' tale that bobs up periodi
cally is the story that American oil companies
protect the sale of their established products
by keeping new developments off the market.
An example of how far this fairy tale misses
the truth is the case of Union Oil's remarkable
purple motor oil.
2. Shortly after the war, we introduced our
new post-war motor oil, Triton. By all standards,
Triton was unexcelled. In fact, it was so g-ootl we
told people they could safely drive it 6 months
between drains if they chose. Consequently, we
thought our oil program was set for several years.
But 12 months later our research engineers came
up with a purple motor oil for passenger can
which they said was even better.
All or. lotted 1
4. That posed a question. Should we hold this
new purple oil off the market for a few years and
protect Triton, or put it on sale immediately? The
answer was that we had no choice. For we were
In competifion. If we didn't put this purple oil oh
the market as soon as possible, some of our com
petitors might develop a comparable product and
beat us to the punch.
5e Al a result we introduced our purple oil to
the motorists of the Pacific Coast under the brand
name of Royal Triton. Royal Triton was not only
an overnight success with our own Western custo
mers; visitors from the East even took it home with
them and continued buying it by mail. Conse
quently, we've had to expand our manufacturing;
facilities and lay plans for marketing It through
out the country.
Moral: Next time anyone tells you oil companies
hold improved products off the market, please tell
him to see us.
3. Just to prove their claims, they sealed It
in the crankcases of four new automobiles and
drove them continuously np and down the Pacific
Coast for 30,000 milesl At the end of the test they
opened up the motors and showed us the results:
The engine parts were as good as new and the oil
by every analysis showed no more deteriora
tion than ordinary motor oils exhibit after 1,000
miles.
