Oil City Slowly Sinking
A first seller futurist novel about the turn
of the century, bearing the title of "2000
A.D.," written by an army officer whose
name is forgotten in the mists of time, fan
cifully pictured this country as it would be
a century hence. One feature noted was the
subsidence of a large portion of the land in
the east central area ot the nation that yields
petroleum and natural gas, and the conse
quent destruction of a large portion of which
are its cities and the gradual creation of
great fresh water lakes.'
While over half the time limit has elapsed,
there has been no sign of collapse ot the
earth's crust in this region, but our subter
ranean oil and gas supplies far under our
crust have not yet been exhausted. Some of
our near surface coal fields have been and
minor level top surface collapses have result
ed prinicpally in anthracite regions.
But that there is some basis for the theory
of vacuum collapse of the earth's crust is
proven by the present subsidence at Long
,, Beach, California, an oil center on the Pacific
coast, where "every barrel of oil pumped
,u J ii. iL. ., .
iiuin iiiu uupins sums uic ciiy into a deeper
'depression." More than three square miles
of highly developed industrial land in the
city and its coastal harbor area have sunk
below high tide level in the past 20 years,
' and the settling goes on at the rate of a foot
and a half a year, it is reported.
An account by a staff correspondent of
the Wall Street Journal of the Long Beach
phenomenon stales:
"Picture the sinking area as a bowl with sides
and bottom. In the bottom area, there's mostly
a 'flat sinking,' so that structures there are not
in danger of crumbling. But on the sides of the
bowl, where the speed of sinking varies, facilities
have developed serious structural problems.
"Sinking slowly but surely are factories, ware
houses, docks and shipyards along with a forest
of 2,400 oil well derricks and pumps. At the pit
of the oval-shaped sinking basin, Southern Cali
fornia Edison Co. operates a $22 million steam
plant which sits 15 feet below high tido. Land
level at the plant site has sunk 23 feet in two
decades. A mile away. Ford Motor Co. s assem
bly plant lies below sea level most of the time,
.'according to C. E. Davis, Ford official."
;. Oil men report similar depressions in wide
My scattered oil fields In the San Joaquin
: valley, and other California areas as well as
Lake Maracaibo, Venezuela, but at Long
Beach they have the Pacific Ocean, inunda
tion threat. -
At Long Beach the subsidence cause re-.
suited from pumping out 750 million barrels
of oil, 600 billion cubic feet of gas and 10.5
" billion gallons of salt water. A costly diking
system has been constructed to check the
"..onrush of the Pacific, costing over 50 rrtll
."lion and a similar amount' must be spent' In
the next few years for dikes, land filling, etc.

Credit is, as everyone knows, extended for
such things as purchases of automobiles, fur
niture, repairs and modernization of homes,
and for medical service.
. Maybe the installment purchaser doesn't
gauge his own economic condition as his
forebears did by his bank balance and his
holdings of debt-free property but he's do
ing all right for himself, and the economists
report that he is keeping up his payments
and, generally speaking, avoiding the hazards
of an OD slip from the bank or a "slow"
label on his account from some creditor.
As long as this is the situation, by present
standards anyway, the country is all right.

Collapse of Tyranny
Typical of the Republics of South America,
the people of Colombia have, with the aid of
the army and the church staged a brief rev
olution and ousted President Gustavc Royas
Pinilla, who essayed the role of bloody tyrant
for four years. After fatal rioting, a new
five-man military Junta forced the resignation
of the dictator who is reported to have fled
into exile.
The junta is pledged to bring order into
'the country, restore political and press free
dom, resign next year In favor of a freely
elected civilian government. Colombians are
staging a wild freedom celebration in Bogota,
, the capital.
Leaders of the Liberals and Conservatives,
the country's two political parlies who united
to bolster the strikers jiid demonstrations
that brought Rojes' downfall havo agreed to
support the interim rule by the junta and
appealed by radio for a return to normalcy.
Press censorship has been lifted. The num
ber of those killed in the past week announc
ed at 141.
Lt. Gen. Rojas has shown himself in the
past four years to be one of the worst dicta-
. tors in the long list of Latin America and his
persecutions tinltod the whole nation against
him. The agitation was led by students from
the six universities he had closed. Rojas
, had also antagonized the Roman Catholic
church, a power in the nation.
Rojas had for years exercised a censor
ship of press, speech and politics and closed
many newspapers, lie used his big police
force to beat up opponents, and throw tear
gas bombs Into churches. His troops had all
the tanks, machine guns and weapons, so their
desertion ended the tyrant's regime.
Power seems to go the heads of Latin
American politicians, even in such advanced
and cultured nations as Argentina, Peru and
Colombia, but sooner or later the dictators'
criminal regimes collapse. (5. P.

Uncle Sam's Needs
Were Few in 1913
WASHINGTON In view of the popular
revolt against the huge budget and terrifically
high taxes, G. A., of Wcehawkcn, N. J., asks
an extremely timely and pertinent question.
He says that he has consulted many sources,
but cannot find out how the
Federal government obtained
revenue before enactment of
the Sixteenth Amendment1
(income tax) in 1913.
Answer: The answer is
simple and easy to obtain. 1
consulted both the Treasury
ana internal Revenue, and
the data for the government's
financial affairs from Its!
lounaing are on me tnere. nAY tuckkb
The main fact is that Uncle Sam's needs
were extremely small in those happy and
prosaic years before World War I. The
Federal budget for 1914, when the new in
come tax began to operate, was only $735,
000,000, as against today's figure of $71.8
billion. We had our first billion dollar bud
get when, belatedly, we began to fear that
the United Slates might become involved in
that conflict.
1914 REVENUE SOURCES
The sources of the 1914 revenue were such
that they did not affect the average Ameri
can, or they touched him only so obliquely
that he did not feel it. Here is how Uncle
Sam collected his money in 1914; with the
figures given In millions:
Customs tariffs, $292; distilled spifits, $153;
fermented liquors (beer and wine) $08; to
bacco,. $79; corporation excise taxes' paid by
them, $10.5; corporation income tax, $32.2;
individual income tax, $28. The total amount
ed to $500.7 million.
POST OFFICE SURPLUS
The balance of Federal receipts, came from
functions or activities which the average
American citizen never heard of or partici
pated in. They included such things as rev
enues from land sales, consular fees, coin
age profits, immigration and naturalization
charges, taxes on bank notes, court fees and
penalties, the cost of issuing patents, and
postal profits.' Believe il or ngt, the P, O.
had a $3,500,000 surplus in 1914.
As is obvious, hardly any tax fell upon
(he individual citizen. Indeed, almost the
only contact the ordinary person had with
the Federal government in those dreamy
days was when he bought a postage stamp.
And few people wrote letters in those days
been uso tho population was relatively static.
Nobody moved away or traveled extensively
because Henry Ford had not begun to revo
lutionize our way of life.
"Was Herbert Hoover ever a Democrat?"
inquires Mrs. E. W., of Los Angeles, Calif.
"This is to settle 'an argument and must be
in writing."
Answer: Mr. Hoover was accused of being
a Democrat because he served under Wood
row Wilson during World War I, and because
he was discussed as a possible Democratic
Presidential nominee, in 1920. In fact, he
got a few votes at the 1920 convention.
NEVER A DEMOCRAT
But he was never a Democrat. Long be
fore the public ever heard of him as Belgium
Relief Administrator, he had been a dues
paying member of the National Republican
Club of New York City. He did issue a state
ment urging the nation to back Woodrow
Wilson, but this referred, to the President as
lender o( the war effort, not as a politician.
The fact is that, due to his long residence
and many trips abroad as a mining engineer
and consultant. Mr. Hoover had no Interest
in connection with politics of any kind until
he beinnio Secretary of Comriiercc in 1921.
And he was not too interested in Party af
fairs even after he became President.
As Never Before
People who arc known as "users of con
sumer Installment credit" are a very large
segment of the population. Whether for
good or bad, as a long-pull consideration,
they arc very Important in the economic
scheme of the country.
Anyway they are a much desired element
in commerce and industry, and the business
world puts a lot of dependence on them.
Federal Reserve Board economists report
that Americans are using consumer install
ment credit as never before. No one is un
happy about it for they arc said to he repay
ing their debts at a reasonable rate.
A $5.5 billion surc in credit use in 11)55
brought a special report from the economists
which contains some interesting figure They
note that while this credit debt increased by
only $2.5 btflt it 1956 the total consumer
Installment credit debt at the start of 1957
uas at an all-time high of 11.5 billion. This

Budget Fight
Ending Still
Not in Sight
WASHINGTON t President
Eisenhower's budget and his for
eign aid program will still be big
news for weeks to come. He had
offered a record peacetime budg
et of almost 72 billion dollars, in
cluding $4,400,-f!!?3!
uuu.uw in lorcign
aid.
Nothing in Ei
senhower's four
White House
years has ex
ceeded the con
fusion over his
budget. The end
is not in sight.
ktscn h o w e r
had insisted his
budget was as jambs marlow
tight as he could make it.
When the reaction set in
demands in and out of Congress
for cuts he had second thoughts
and began talking of ways reduc
tions could be made.
BOOKKEEPING REDUCTIONS
Most of them were bookkeeping
reductions. Money he suggested
be skipped this year would have
to be voted in another year. So
the reductions were postponements.
Four months of this session of
Congress have passed and he still
hasn't explained to the lawmak
ers in detail why he wants the
foreign aid money or what ehe II
do with it. He'll do his explaining
in a special message to Congress
next week.
Meanwhile, aflcr watching de
mands for budget cuts mount, Ei
senhower has decided to make
two broadcasts, appealing to the
public to put pressure on Congress
to case up on its zeal for axing
the budget.
MEETING OF LEADERS
Yesterday, in preparation for
the message he sends to Congress
next week, Eisenhower called
congressional leaders tc the White
House. He suggested, as he had
previously, that as much as 500
million might be chopped off for
eign aid.
Later this writer asked two of
those leaders for an explanation
in some detail of what Eisenhow
er had in mind. One was so vague
he said all he knew was that a
500 million reduction was suggest
ed. The other said he was so puz
zled he wasn't sure what the ad
ministration had in mind.
Bui even the 5(H) million cut
talked of hy Eisenhower may be t by ,, blJ

'Curl Your Hair' Remarks of Humphrey in
January Were Misquoted, Misunderstood
WASHINGTON Secretary of the
Treasury George Humphrey has
been bearing the brunt of a good
deal of criticism lately throughout
the country. Some accuse mm 01

CONGRESS RUSHES IN
While telling Congress it can
chop 500 millions off his $4,400,
000,000 foreign aid figure, Eisen
hower may propose that lt reap-
propriatc 500 millions which was
previously voted for this year but
hasn't been obligated. Unless rc-
votcd, it can't be spent
Eisenhower s love of old plati
tudes which he manages to state
with such earnestness that some
times they sound almost like new
platitudes helped open the door
for Congress to rush in with its
budget-cutting ax and a budget-
cutting desire.
But in this the President had
a major assist from Secretary o
the Treasury Humphrey. A time
table of what the two men said
will show the origin of some of
the confusion.
On Jan. 16, the dny Eisenhower
sent his budget to Congress, Hum
phrey said: (I) it was as tight a
budget as the administration
could produce but 2 "I think
there are a lot of places in this
budget that can be cut."
At his Jan. 23 news eonterence
Eisenhower echoed Humphrey. He
said it was the best budget that
could he offered at this time.
Then he stated his platitude: If
Congress can cut the budget, it's
Congress' duty to do so.
OUGHT TO BE CUT
Congress didn't have to be told
that. Under the Constitution it's
Congress' job to comply. Mean
while budget-cutting talk snow
balled around the country.
At his March 13 news confer
ence Eisenhower said ne naan 1
asked Congress to do a hatchet
job on his budget. All he meant
to say. he said, was that if Con
gress could find a place to cut it
ought to cut.
lit was the day before that
March 12 that the Democrats in
Congress threw the ball back to
Eisenhower and asked him if he
had any idea how savings could
be made.)
On April 3 he told a news con
ference ho saw no place where
cuts of as much as two billion
dollars could be made. And he

and seeking tol
exploit the al- d. Lawrence
lceed contradictions.
But. if ever a man In public
life was misquoted or quoted out
of context, misunderstood and mis
represented, it is the present sec
retary of the treasury in relation
to his comments at a press con
fcrcncc of January 16 last.
Fortunately, a stenographic rec
ord was kept and was issued to
the press that same day.
REPORTS WERE WRONG
This correspondent has just com
plctcd a study of what was dis
tributed by the various wire serv
ices and what was printed lr
most of the newspapers immcdi
atcly after the press conference
of January 16. The only conclu
sion that can be reached is that
the text of what the secretary
really said and the impression
conveyed by some of the wire
services is considerably differ
ent. Here Is the exact text of
the question that drew the re
sponse about "hair curling":
"Mr. Secretary, isn't nearly all
the talk here today about cutting
spending and cutting taxes large
ly academic, as long as the world
situation remains what it is?
Looking nt this budget. 1 find that
the lion's share of the increased
expenditures is for mutual secur
ity and defense. Is there any
hope anywhere in the world situ
ation that you can do any cut
ting in defense spending in the
next few years?
EXACT TEXT TOLD
It is to be noted that the ques
tioner inquired about "any hope
anywhere in the world situation"
and referred specifically to the
"increased expenditures for mu
tual security and defense." Here
is the exact text of Mr. Hum
phrey's answer:
"I think there is. yes I do. 1
think there is sonic hope you can
reduce expenditures all along the
line. I would certainly deplore the
with the President. Yet in the
text of the transcript occurs the
following comment by the secre
tary: DRAWN WITH CARE
t think this budget as now
drawn has been prepared with
the very greatest care, and I think
it is the best that we can possibly
do right now. Now, my whole point
is this: that it is 18 months before
we get through living under this
budget, and I think there are' a
lot of economies and a lot of sav
ings that we ought to be able to
make if we pay strict attention to
our business and work at them
hard enough during the next 18
months. I don't think there Is
anything In sight at the moment
that can be done better than is
now proposed in this budget, but
I think we ought to improve it as
time goes on
Asked whether the secretary and
the President differed about the
budget, Mr. Humphrey said ir
that same press conference:
"There is no division or diffl
culty in the administration at all
that we all are in accord on. This
budget was made up, as I say,
with the very greatest care and a
great deal of time spent on it, and
this is apparently the best we can
do at the present time. But I just
believe that over 18 . months we
ought to keep doing better."
IMPROVEMENT STARTED
The improvement process has
already been begun. Ihe agna
tion has. therefore, in some re
spects been salutary, but some of
the talk and criticism is going to
extremes and could harm the ef
fectiveness of America's interna
tional influence in a critical period
in history if appropriations for
necessary programs are curtailed
or abandoned through mistaken
acts of congress. ,
Partisans have been able to dis
tort and twist what Mr. Hum
phrey did say. A complicated sub
ject, such as the budget really is,
has been made a football ot poii
tics. Unless corrected by an in
formed public opinion, the mo
mentum of the entire economy
can be slowed down and a reccs-
on this subject. This is a thing sion precipitated.

Of State Concern
Corvallls Gazette-Times
All of us here in Oregon have
been more or less embarrassed
over the corruption, malingering
and questionable honesty of the
elected officials in the states
largest city and most populous
county. But until the Multnomah
county grand jury presented its
scathing attack against Attorney
General Robert Thornton last
week, we felt somewhat detached
from the whole mess.
Now the issues have become of
vital concern to the people of the
entire state. The grand jury has
charged Thornton with appalling
inability." It goes even further
and suggests that he be replaced
as ' prosecutor with someone
"whose spirit and obligation of a
personal, political or public na
ture would not be in conflict with
such duty." In part the granj
jury said:
Our past weeks of attention
to the circumstances surrounding
the corruption of our community
lead us to an inescapable con
clusion: The criminal acts that
have remained heretofore un
charged or unprosecuted in the
light of the great abundance of
evidence establishing such prob
able violations appear to be ex
plainable only by our attorney
general's incompetence or reluct
ance to carry out the governor's
directives.
"The appalling inability of our
attorney general to perceive the
emergent public need for forceful
action on every point upon which
legal action can be predicated has
been increasingly evident to us.
Although he has made nrofes-
sions 10 us tavoring a lorcelul and
vigorous prosecution, he has been
in charge of this matter for l.
most one year without being able
to snow any conclusive results."
When we commented in this
column some weeks ago about
me poor job being done by
muriiiun in orawing nis indict
ments and about his failure to
prosecute after almost a vear of
investigation, he sent us a per-
auiiai ieuer on ine suDject but
it anskcred none of our charges.
Nor has he answered the same
important charges made against
rum Dy me grand jury becaux
its conclusions are unanswcrabl?.
State officials evidently have
attempted to find some wv h.
which Thornton can be removed
from his role of state's prosecu
tor in this case but they have
come up with the conclusion that
11 can 1 be done.
The question now remains
What can be done? It must be
assumea me legislature will con-
uiiui; us investigation of our
grand jury system and will cx-
icna 11s scarcn into a situation
which allows a district attorney
to remain in office and thus im
pede an investigation into hi
own affairs, and laws which con
tain no provision for removing
from a particular investigation an
attorney general who has demon
strated inability or lack of de
sire "to make a forceful and vig
orous prosecution" of a situation
that needs immediate public at
tention.
The first step for clearing the
air would be a resienation hi-
