Want Adl. "Distinguished Service" in an endless war Men on duty in a howling gale! Green water over the decks ! As in Viking days ... as in wind' jammer days . . . sailing the seas is still no sissy business. Vet the men of our tanker fleet facing the hazards of the sea have made their jobs safer than crossing Main Street. For this they have just received an award from the National Safety Council first such won by a western oil company for "Dis tinguished Service to Safety." No lily-fingered affair is life in the oil fields, either. Those tall derricks don't grow. Those heavy casings don't just chase the drill down the well. Men must put them there. Yet our hardy drilling divi sion has won a similar award . . . and our natural gasoline de partment . . . and our marine department's inland fleet! In fact, the honor paid our men makes this company the first in dustrial concern in the United States to win four National Safety Council awards. For this there is a reason. To make these and other Jobs as safe as humanly pos sible, our safety engineers and Operating organization in the oil fields have warred unceas ingly on accident. Here they have hemmed in danger. There they have fenced it out. Every where they have forced detours on mankind's worst ill-wisher , . , the Accident-Going-Some-where-to-Happen. Through the years, too, our people have become safety conscious. They distinguish be tween chance-taking and cour ge. They've spotted reckless ness as another rigged game where you can't win.

LOOK FOR Ve llllcrite, Chandler Faces Test In First Big League Parley Chicago, Dec. 10 (U.PJ A. B. (Happy) Chandler, beginning his first major league meeting as commisisoner, was confident to day that the big league owners would rally to support him as baseball's chief executive. The annual big league sessions opened today with the National and American leagues in separ ate meetings, studying numerous controversial proposals, includ ing: (1) The Pacific Coast league's request to become a third major league, (2) the min or's attempt to outlaw the pay ment of bonuses to new players, and (3) the request by the St. Louis Cardinals and Browns and the Washington Senators for un limited night games in 1946. . It was considered likely that the big leagues would vote "no" on at least the first two propos als and possibly approve the third one. But the headline catching question was whether they would stand behind their new commissioner after he was set back on his heels by the re bellious minor leagues at Colum bus, O., last week. IRISH STARS OUT OP EAST-WEST GO South Bend, Ind., Dec. 10 (U.R) Notre Dame university's com mittee on absences today refused to allow .three stars of the 1945 eleven to compete in the annual East-West football charity game New Year's day' at San Fran cisco. Capt. Frank Dancewiez, Quar terback, Right Halfback Elmer Angsmann and Tackle Pete Ber ezney were refused permission to take part in the game. The committee ruling said that three players "missed so much classroom work during the regu lar season that any further ab sences might seriously impair their chances of making up back work and being graduated with their classes. Denver Man Head Of National AAU Richmond, Va., Dec. 10 (UP.) The National Amateur Ath letic union, in final session of its convention yesterday, elected William Greim of Denver presi dent and nominated a 10-man slate from which the Olympic committee, meeting In New York today, will choose the AAU members of the executive committee. . San Antonio was chosen as site of the 1946 AAU conven tion after a lively debate among representatives of the Texas city. New Orleans and Miami Beach, Fla. Talent Hoopers To Play Jacksonville Talent, Dec. 10 Talent high's Bulldogs will meet Jacksonville here tomorrow night in a pre season test. The Redskins report edly have one of the strongest teams in many years and figure to be the scourge of the county "B" league. Preliminary game is set for 7:30 p. m. According to Coach Roy Parr, the Bulldogs are getting off to a slow start this season but fig ure to give the J'Ville boys a' tough scrap. q4 the qualify peat with The little fellows ignored his protests against the bonus legis lation and then clipped his veto power over them. But Chand ler was in good humor today, confident that he had passed a rough initiation since his elec tion last April and that the ma jor league owners were prepar ed to support, him. Rowland Heads Group President Clarence (Pants) Rowland of the Pacific Coast league headed a five-man dele gation today to appear before the National and American leagues to argue for a third big time circuit. He needs the ap proval of the commissioner as well as both leagues, which meet separately today and tomorrow and then close out their annual winter gathering with a joint session Wednesday. The general impression among the big leaguers, however, was that the west coast loop "is about five years ahead of itself" and neither had the talent nor ball park capacities to present big league games properly to the fans. Belcastro Insists On New Referee In Battle With Jones At Pete Belcastro's insistance that a new referee be employed for his grudge wrestling match with Rough Rufus Jones Thurs day night, Promoter Mack Lil lard has signed Norval Stock still, likeable young grappler from Talent, to handle the chores. Stockstill is firm in his commands to the wrestlers while working as arbiter and is ex pected to rule the match with an iron hand. Belcastro, who figures he was given a raw deal in last week's battle royal when he was at tacked by Jones before the match started, asked to meet the Detroit darky. Jones demanded such an unreasonable figure that Eelcastro gave up a sizable chunk of his purse to make the go possible.

Van Buren also won the 1945 scoring title with 110 points and the ground gaining crown with 832 yards. Next Sunday's game at Cleve land will match two teams as nearly one-man outfits as a pro fessional team can be. Baugh's passes have been the backbone of the Washington attack this season. Wateriield is in rea'lty almost the whole Ram team. He calls the plays, does the pass ing, kicks extra points, handles the ball on the T-formation, anil can line -plunge and end -run creditably.

At San Francisco, Cpl. Young was again met by his family. Shortly after he was inducted into the army and sent to Assam, India, where he is now stationed. Prior to going to India, his trav els included two transcontinental journeys across the United States, a voyage around Aus tralia to Calcutta and over the twisting Burma road to Kun ming, later going tj India where he is now marking time await ing a discharge.
