Quads Win in Battle
To Stick Together
On Duty With Army
Seattle (U.R) The world's
only male quadruplets prepared
to go overseas Friday after win
ning their fight to stay together
In the army.
The 22-y e a r-old Perriconc
brothers of Beaumont, Tex., re
ported to Fort Lawton here and
told officers they were "ready
to Join the Texas army in
Korea."
Sr-rgeant Carl and Privates
First Claps Donald, Anthony and
Bernard Perricone had been to
gether since they entered the
service In January, 1951. But a
itw weeks ago, when they were
stationed at Fort Benning, Ga.,
Carl received his overseas or
ders. The others did not.
They promptly appealed to
the Army.
"We don't want any favors,"
they said, "but we've been to
gether so far and want to be to
gether when we go overseas."
But their requests apparently
became sidetracked while going
through channels. At any rate,
nothing happened.
The soldiers wrote a letter ex
plaining the situation to their
parents, Mr. and Mrs. Phillip
Perricone. They, in turn, noti
fied their congressman. About a
week later, the brothers received
overseas orders and. a 15-day
furlough.

they would never have realized
the men were quads if it hadn't
been for identification papers.
The brothers differ greatly in
appearance, and range from
five feet, six inches to six feet,
one inch in height.
Born Oct. 31, 1929, the broth
ers became known as the
"A. B. C. D Quads" because their
first-name initials are of that
group of letters.

5,000 residents of this "poor
slate" are employed directly In
the oil and gas industry.

chez.l The thing which sent farmers
on worn-out land qd small
town dreamers alike to dancing
delirious jigs began in 1039 when
a college geology student per
suaded drillers to test an area
he had marked out.
Scramble for Leases
Mississippi had had producing
gas wells before but the first pro
ducing oil well was brought in
on Aug. 29, 1939. There followed
a wild scramble for oil leases
and at one time in 1940 there
were as many as 68 geophysical
crews in the state in one month
In less than four months the acre
age under lease was doubled to
7,000,000 acres.
Then, with a rapid decline in
the number of producers brought
in, the industry sobered up and
settled down to systematic ex
oloration. The years 1941 and
1942 were discouraging but in
1943 the jinx was broken.
The Brookhaven field was dis
covered in March of that year
and that precipitated the discov
ery of field after field until in
1944, 72 wildcats were drilled
and nine new fields were dis
covered a record of only eignl
wildcats for each new field.
Many Operations
Today, more than 80 inde
pendent operators and 18 major
companies are active in Missis
sippi and the state contains
more than 1,600 producing
wells. In 1950, 38,230,695. bar
rels of oil were produced in ad
dition' to immense quantities of
natural gas.
Another trail-blazing project is
under way this year. Gulf Refin
ing company's seismic survey of
800.000 acres in coastal waters
is expected to be the forerunner
