FOURTEEN MEDFORD( OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE Tuesday. October IS, 1958 Kuchel Attacks Leader's Actions Washington (U.P; Sen. Thomas H. Kuchel (R-Calif.) to day accused Gov. George M. Leader of Pennsylvania of try ing to "weasel out" of his alleg ed suggestion that Vice Presi dent Richard M. Nixon retire to Alcatraz. "Newspapers from coast to coast carried the item," Kuchel said in a statement issued by the Republican National com mittee. "He made no attempt to deny it until a howl was raised by decent citizens .-. ." Two GOP senators Leverett M. Saltonstall (Mass.). and H. Alexander Smith (N.J.), and Rep. Pat Hillings (R.-Calif.). de manded Monday that Leader apologize to Nixon. Leader told an Oakland, Calif., Democratic rally last week "a little place" in adjoin ing San Francisco Bay would be a good place for Nixon to retire to. Alcatraz prison is on an is land in the bay. Leader subsequently denied at Harrisburg, Pa., that he was referring to Alcatraz. But Saltonstall said Leader in his California speech "indicated clearly he meant Alcatraz land." "Any explanations are ob viously afterthoughts," he said "It looks to me as if he felt Nix on's campaign was going so well he was scratching for something to say to discredit him." Pineau, Shepilov Open New Suez Talks Paris (U.R) French Foreign Minister Christian Pineau and Soviet Foreign Minister Dmitri Shepilov open a new series of talks on the Suez dispute here today. The atmosphere was cleared somewhat by a statment in Mos cow by Soviet Vice Premier An astas Mikoyan upholding Israel's position on the Suez and by an optimistic editorial in Pravda. the official Soviet Communist Party newspaper. Pineau arrived home from the U. N. Security Council Suez de bate Monday only four houre after Shepilov flew in from New York. "No one could doubt that we shall discuss the Suez problem on which we already have put forth four views in New York," Pinenu said. "Needless to say. our views were not identical, but this docs not prevent us from discussing the matter again." SHADES OF ELVIS Democratic Presidential Candidate Adlai E. Stevenson strums a guitar like an old hand during raJy at Richmond. Calif. The instrument was presented to him by Jerry Walters, leader of the Gate way Singers, popular recording folk-singing quartet. In making the Democratic standa-d bearer an honorary Gateway Singer, Walters reminded Stevenson that his platform provided ror everyone but aging folk-singers. Stevenson quipped, "It doesn't provide for aging orators, oithpr." Nevada Finally Gets Place In World of Petroleum Western Electric, CWA Disagree on Movement Winston-Salem. N.C. (U.R) Western Electric Co. and the striking Communication Work ers of America disagreed to day on the effectiveness of a ru mored "back to work" move ment by the company's em ployees. A union spokesman said Mon day night the movement was a "complete failure," but company officials said more employees represented by the union had reported for work Monday than at any other time during the long strike. Ely, Nev. (U.R) After nearly 50 years of exploration, the state of Nevada has finally made itself a place still small to be sure in the fabulous world of petroleum. Scores of holes have been drilled in the rolling, sometimes jagged hills and mountains of the Great Basin range and in the sagebrush and sand covered des erts covering much of the state. But until the Shell Oil com pany successfully completed its Eagle Springs Unit No. 1 in Railroad Valley, 60 miles south west of Ely near U. S. Highway 6, none of the wells had produced petroleum in commercial grade and quantity. Since the Eagle Springs dis covery well was completed in June of 1954, two more produc ing wells have been completed in the same field and further ex ploration to determine its size and 'potential reserve is contin uing. More Holes Needed Walter L. Smith, district ge ologist for the Shell Oil com pany, in an interview with Unit ed Press, said it was "just too darn early" to forecast whether Railroad Valley would be a "major field," adding "it will take many more holes" to prove the area. How long it would take to provide the necessary produc tion proof, he said, "depends on work by the industry as a whole." Many other major companies and independents have started exploration programs in Ne vada, beginning with the first "dry hole" drilling in 1912. But it was not until the Korean War, starting in 1950, that ef forts were intensified and a sys tematic program started. Two major efforts were made at Hay den Creek, 40 miles west of Ely. and Summit Springs. 24 miles northwest of this White Pine County seal, but neither paid off. Other programs have been conducted east of Elko, where Richfield Oil has just abandoned a dry hole; in Pine Valley near Diamond and in the Las Vegas area, but none has yet been suc cessful. Shallow Soil Oil from Shell's Eagle Springs units is trucked 450 miles to a refinery at Bakersfield, Calif., by tankers that travel east with loads of fuel oil for mining op erations in the Tonopah area. Smith said that the Nevada desert, despite its desolate ap pearance, is a "geologist's para dise" because the Great Basin country has a shallow soil man tle and little vegetation, permit ting experts to "read" the geol ogy virtually on the surface. The fact that most of Nevada is government-owned public do main eases the problem of ex ploration access and land titles. Weather is such that drilling can be conducted from May 1 to Oct. I, at least, in most years. The Railroad Valley petrol eum producing zone is at a depth of 6,445 to 6,878 feet. where the oil is found in frac tures of a "tertiary" volcanic rock. Eagle Springs Unit No. 1 originally was drilled to 10,358 feet for exploration, but plugged later in the production zone. for the Natural Look dim e o Seamless Nylons l35 I the pair vou and vour leas will look vour confident best when vou are. feVr lJ wearing these Seamless Bur-Mil Cameo stockings.
