State Capital: Oregon Primary To Be of National Significance Oil Men Regard Atomic Energy As Needed Aid, Not Competitor By DICK HUMPHREY UPI Correspondent Salem (DPD Oregon's presi dential preference primary next May is going to be a slam-bang affair of national significance. One source close to Gov. Mark Hatfield said: "It's a natural. It can't miss." ' Big reason for the excite ment is the new primary law passed by the 1959 legislature which gives Republican Sec retary of State Howell Ap pling exclusive power to put on the ballot the name of any candidate for president or vice-president who is "gener ally advocated in national news media." Candidates may wriggle out only by disavowing any de sire for the office. However, another provision of the law provides that if 1,000 Oregon voters put the name of a presidential or vice-presidential candidate on the ballot, he can't withdraw his name even if he wants to. The petitions must be sign ed by members of the "same major political party" as the of candidacy" provision also candidate. Tre-for-AU' One observer remarked: "You can get 1,000 people to sign anything." And this is what may make the Oregon primary a "free-for-all." Of course, the "disavowal Editor's not: This is ih second, of two dispatches re porting on th past, present land future of the petroleum industry, which is celebrating tits first century as a vital fare in xh nation and the -world. By CLYDE H. FARNS WORTH UPI Correspondent Z. New York - (UPD - Oil enters :its second century entrenched -as the nation's principal pow er source. And despite the growing prominence of nuclear and solar energy, oil is expected ;to remain at the top for quite a while to come. These days it's almost eas ier to say what isn't rather than is affected by "black gold." It's used in rocket fuels and ointments, food packaging and anesthetics. Petroleum r e -search has produced clothing, household furnishings and Titensils. Machines, which de pend on oil for all of their -lubrication and almost three fourth of their fuel, now do 99 per cent of the work in this country. Even with the advent of the atom, oil men see no shorten ing of oil's reach. They echo the sentiments of Dr. Robert . Wilson, board chairman of Standard Oil Co. (Indiana) when he says: "I regard atomic energy not as a competitor but as some thing that will come along in the nick of time to help fossil fuels carry the energy bur den." Uses Greatly Increased In its first 100 years, the in dustry produced 60,300,000,- U00 barrels of oil. At the cur Tent rate of production, that much oil could now be pro duced in a quarter century. Actually, however, oil economists expect demand will be such that production easily will double in the next 15 years. One . economist, Bernard T. Scott, vice presi dent of the First National City Bank of New York, predicts a doubling of the oil business in the next decade. Oil has transformed the face of America. Refineries, representing an investment of more than $11 billion, dot the nation. Nearly 200,000 serv ice stations ring up annual sales of $14,500,000,000. More than 200,000 miles of oil and 500,000 miles of gas pipelines criss-cross the country. All this is in addition to the mil lions of miles of highways that are the direct offshoot of the gasoline era. More Uses Sought Meanwhile, the industry is working on such things as: Extraction o f synthetic proteins from oil for use as food supplements. -Expansion of petrochemi cals - petrolem-based chemi cals which are the corner stone of modern plastics, and a field which oil men say has barely been tapped. -Direct conversion of light hydrocarbons into electricity. -Preparation of oil fogs to protect crops from frost and pests. -Lubrication of bearings at high temperatures by hydro carbon vapors, eliminating the necessity for ordinary lu bricating oil. Although it's become in creasingly difficult to find oil, the industry says there's enough around to last easily through this century. Oil men place the odds against discovering oil in commercial quantities today at 44 to 1, against finding a Motorists May Talk Way Out of Tickets St. Catherines, Ont.-ttJPD-Attention motorists: Here's a chance for you to talk your way out of a traffic ticket. St. Catherines police chief James Anderson has designed a new-type ticket for motor ists who commit "borderline" traffic violations. It invites of fenders to have a chat with the traffic department officer. "Of course, if the motorist commits a flagrant violation the usual summons will be is sued," Anderson added. The United States is the old est existing nation in North and South America. really big field such as West Texas or the Williston Basin at 1,000 to 1. Possible Finds Told Yet oil men say promising areas for new discoveries exist in North Africa, the Middle East, South America, Canada, Antarctica, and the Atlantic coastal shelf of the U.S. Jn the . U.S. now the trend is to go back to old oil fields with new removery technol ogy and get out some of the oil that's left. In addition, wells are being drilled deeper. Dr. Edward Teller, nuclear physics professor at the Uni versity of California, believes billions of barrels may be added to world oil reserves through controlled under ground explosions in shale and tar-sand deposits. It is estimated that one tril lion barrels of oil is locked in the shale deposits and another 300 million in tar and deposits located in the U.S. and Canada alone. Management, Labor Save Hat Company Amesbury, Mass.-flJPD-Little more than half a year ago, the Merrimac Hat Co. was closed down, with some 200 work ers drawing jobless pay. Today the firm is doing a thriving business. Here's what happened: Mer- rimac's investors wanted out. The business wasn't bankrupt; it just wasn't giving the an ticipated return. Two months after the shut down, the workers took over. The United Hatters, Cap and Millinery Workers Interna tional union paid about $300, 000 for a controlling 60 per cent of the Merrimac stock. Back to work went the hat ters. And during the next five months, management work ing for and with labor was able to realize a $70,000 profit compared with a $144,195 deficit for the corresponding period last year.

Sixth and Central Medford's Bargain Corner Buffalo Man Finds Cost of Trees High Buffalo, N.Y. -fflPD- Trees in Buffalo really come "high," Richard Dejac discovered in city court. Judge Michael E. Zimmer gave Dejac a suspended fine of $250, put him on six months' probation and or dered him to make restitution to the city for the tree he ad mitted cutting down in front of his home. The city forestry division' estimated it would cost $175 to replace the tree. Dejac said he cut it down because "neighbors had par ties under it all day and half the night." will put the spotlight on those who .are waiting to see how the political winds are blow ing before , throwing their hats in the ring. It looks like a cinch that there will be at least two Re publican candidates for presi dent in Oregon - Vice-President Richard Nixon and New York Gov. Nelson Rockefel ler. The Democratic side has Sens. Hubert Humphrey CD Minn.), John Kennedy (D Mass.), Lyndon Johnson CD Texas), Wayne Morse CD Ore.), ex-Illinois Gov. Adlai Stevenson and several dark horse governors such as G. Mennen Williams as possibili ties. Effect of the new law has not been fully evaluated, but it appears to give the advan tage to candidates who are not in public offices such as governor or senator. Men in such offices might have to answer charges of deserting their office if they campaign ed in too many states with laws like Oregon. Certainly, not all c a n d i dates in the primary will be reluctant. For instance, Ken nedy appears willing and Vice - President Nixon has visited Oregon from the time he was a debating student at Whittier College until the Oregon Centennial this year. On the other hand, Sen. Morse has called "whoa" to his sup porters who have announced plans to put him on the bal lot by petition as a favorite son candidate for president. " A good primary fight on generates interest and con cern in government. It also gives both parties impetus to organize at the precinct level for the November battle. One thing that makes the primary important is that it occurs late - May 20. On the GOP side it might be over shadowed by California's pri mary, which runs even later, should Rockefelled challenge Nixon there. Cooling effects also might be provided by earlier pri maries should any candidate get beaten badly , in another both the Demo and GOP sides state and decide to withdraw Golden Guernsey Milk Snider's Quality DAIRY FOODS gracefully by disavowing can didacy in Oregon.
