Today work is going forward on drilling an oil well in the north-east industrial area of Anaheim. It is a unique experiment. It is going to show if the oil industry can live with the people of the community. If oil is found, the operation will be noted with great interest throughout the Southland. The Los Angeles basin is one of the richest oil areas on the globe. Oil men believe there are great fields as yet untapped in the basin. But, as residential areas spring up and cities grow in the Los Angeles area, it is more and more difficult for the oil men to have free and easy drilling. The rights of households must be respected. The oil industry is aware, however, that to tap these resources it must "ref along where nature produced it." Perhaps 150 billion or 200 billion barrels are in known oil fields but beyond the reach of current methods of recovery. This oil is a prize worth working for—especially in the nation's defense. Now they are turning to chemistry to get at it. They are sticking hypodermic needles of acid deep into the earth to eject the oil from the rocks. Some are using detergents to flush oil loose from the porous rocks in which it hides. Some use carbon dioxide with which they flood old oil fields to push the oil toward the bottom of wells that are going dry. Fatty acids and ammonia salts are also said to induce the rocks to cast off the oil that clings to them. Other chemists are experimenting with bacteria to stimulate the growth of new oils. WASHINGTON—In every administration, whether Dewey or Republican, the cue to government is set right atop. Lusually the fault lies in the president of the United States. This was true of War Harding, who though perfectly honest, spent so much playing poker at the little house on its street that he below and around him could indulge their own pleasures, too. Resume one of the worst eras of government graft. This is also true, in an ent way, of Harry Truman is not only honest person had a well-publicized record of the Senate for exposing his clency and corruption. Though President Trump goes in for occasional pokies with stakes so high Speaker Sam Rayburn gets; and though the preside has occasional conference L. W. Harper; the cue forence peddling is set not personally but by those who him. It is done in two ways: 1. By the fact that the House staff accepts pet favors such as deep freeze free airplane junkets in for highly valuable concoctions made at the taxpayers' expense. 2. By the fact that they immediately around of the richest oil areas on the globe. Oil men believe there are great fields as yet untapped in the basin. But, as residential areas spring up and cities grow in the Los Angeles area, it is more and more difficult for the oil men to have free and easy drilling. The rights of households must be respected. The oil industry is aware, however, that to tap these resources it must "get along with the people." It isn't a matter anymore of the people putting up with the oil industry. So, the drilling of oil in Anaheim is being watched throughout the Southland not only from the dollar and cents standpoint but from the standpoint of its ability to fit in properly with residents and businesses. The outcome could have a far-reaching effect on the petroleum industry of Southern California. Oilmen know exactly where billions and billions of barrels of oil lie under the United States that they haven't yet been able to coax to the surface. Some of them think they're going to be able to find the way—and soon. Defense needs of the nation for oil reserves that can be used spur the oil engineers and chemists on. Other billions of barrels that oilmen once give up as lost forever they have now learned how to bring forth. By injecting salt water or natural gas deep into the earth they have brought back to life old oil fields they once thought milked dry. They expect this way to recover an estimated 75 billion barrels once thought lost. But that still leaves oil they know is there but can't pull out of the pores of the rock and sand oil from the rocks. Some are using detergents to flush oil loose from the porous rocks in which it hides. Some use carbon dioxide with which they flood old oil fields to push the oil toward the bottom of wells that are going dry. Fatty acids and ammonia salts are also said to induce the rocks to cast off the oil that clings to them. Other chemists are experimenting with bacteria to stimulate the underground flow of oil from the oil-bearing sands to the bottom of oil wells. Some are testing out the effects of heat on the reluctant oil stores. Much of this oil was once thought lost because in the early days of the oil industry much knew only one way of getting oil — pumping out the petroleum which flowed by natural means to the bottom of the well. The natural means was pressure. The fruitful sands bore not only oil but gas and water. The pressure of the gas and water forced the heavy, slow-flowing oil from the porous rock toward the point of relief—the well casing where the pressure could escape from the earth. But the gas and water came to the surface with the oil. In time there wasn't enough pressure from gas and oil to force any more oil to the well casing. Oilmen were reconcilled to abandoning an oil field after getting anywhere from 15 to at most 50 per cent of the oil which their wells had tapped. Then they learned that by pumping back this gas and water down dry wells into the ore-bearing sandings they could create the pressure to bring up more oil. By this method—called secondary recovery—they are now able to get from 70 to 80 per cent of the oil content of the fields. IN THE DAYS OF LONG AGO From the Files of Anaheim Gazette By MRS. HENRY KUCHEL 75 Years Ago December, 1876 Mr. Plato's team took another little pasear yesterday afternoon. 50 Years Ago December, 1901 Gus Strodthoff is back from Jerome, Ark., to spend the holiday. He sat in a corner of the room during staff meetings, field nose and pulled an imagin chain, when he didn't like Wyatt's policies. The president, watching Vaughan out the corner of his eye, took cue. He turned down so many of Wyatt's ideas that he signed. The incident illustrates power of the White House. IN THE DAYS OF LONG AGO From the Files of Anasheim Gazette By MRS. HENRY KUCHEL 75 Years Ago December, 1876 Mr. Plato's team took another little paseroy yesterday afternoon. The hitherto gentle and quiet animal drew back from the hitching post, and forcing herself from the birdle started off at a two-forty gall up Centre street and down Lemon street, stopped at the residence of our reporter long enough to leave all but two wheels of the wagon hanging on the gate post and then struck a bee-line for Wilmington. A couple of Mexicans overhauled the fugitive and turned her back and lodged her safely in Mitchell's stable. A new king bolt for the buggy and a little saddler's work on the harness will place the outfit in complete repair for another runaway. The Anaheim brass band has a new music teacher. Mr. Calisher exhibited in town on Monday a splendid specimen of silver ore taken from the Silver King mine in Arizona. It was the richest piece we ever saw. The rock from the mine is said to assay over $3000 to the ton. The Bakersfield Southern Californiaian thinks there will be no need for a division of this state for a century or so. 50 Years Ago December 1901 Gus Strodthoff is back from Jerome, Aziz., to spend the holidays with his folks here. He has charge of Senator Clark's hotel at Jerome, and says the fact that he weighs 220 pounds should not be considered strange. He finds many improvements here, and says it feels good to get back to his old stamping grounds. Pat Seale left yesterday for Arrowhead Springs for a two weeks sojourn. Pat has been afflicted with rheumatism in his knee and back, and thinks a season at the springs will fetch him around all right. Frank Stone and John Kuebler have returned from a five weeks trip to San Luis Obispo county, where they did assessment work on valuable oil lands across the divide from the McKittrick field. Joseph Helmsen has been presented by Frank Pallas, who recently returned from Manila, with the star formerly worn by him as a member of the metropolitan police of that city. He also received from William Schwenetud a testimonial of his team in the shape of a microlight pearl-handled cigar box opener with hammer attachment for driving nails. The incident illustrates power of the White House on a president, especially one is weak or changeable. Today not many new come up at staff meetings. Of the time is monopolized by erat Vaughan, who takes pride having a couple of new jokes every day for the amuseur of his chief; while part of time is spent telling Mr. man about the unfairness of press. Good Intentions Once or twice, the president started his staff conference what amounted to a sermon clean government, repeated famous quotation to Democritus Chairman Frank McKinney, friends have let me down," how he never tolerated graft when he was a county judge for Pendergast, and wound up a firm statement that he interfere to throw out the crooks. Then when the conversation got around to specific ways cleaning up influence, someone admitted shifted it to Mr. T. man's pet target—the president original good intentions are forgotten. Real fact is that Matt Conley, most astute member of (Ed. note—This is another in Drew Pearson's series of columns on the cause of corruption in government and its cure.) WASHINGTON—In every administration, whether Democrat or Republican, the cue for clean government is set right at the top. Basically the fault lies with the president of the United States. This was true of Warren G. Harding, who though personally honest, spent so much time playing poker at the little green house on his street that the boys below and around him felt they could indulge their own personal pleasures, too. Result was one of the worst eras of government graft. This is also true, in a different way, of Harry Truman, who not only honest personally, but had a well-publicized record in the Senate for exposing inefficiency and corruption. Though President Truman also goes in for occasional poker parties with stakes so high that speaker Sam Rayburn goes to bed; and though the president also has occasional conferences with W. Harper; the cue for influence peddling is set not by him personally but by those around him. It is done in two ways. 1. By the fact that the White House staff accepts personal favors such as deep freezes and free airplane junkets in return for highly valuable concessions made at the taxpayers' expense. 2. By the fact that the men immediately around Truman ONE WAY TRACKS THE MISSING IN ACTION AND UNACCOUNTED FOR PRISONERS White House staff, and friend of many big city Democeratic bosses, has not seemed too enthusiastic about a slam-bang cleanup. It was Connelly who first suggested Judge Murphy to head the corruption investigation but, after Murphy insisted on a forthright staff of his own choosing with plenty of power behind it, the original ardor for a real house-cleaning seemed to cool around the White House. One interesting thing about the charming Matt Connelly is that he has done some of the same kind of wire-pulling that others are being condemned for by Congressional committees. Matt's special interest in more ways than one is certain big airlines, and was he, perhaps, more than anyone else, who euchered the president into reversing the Civil Aeronautics board and its opposition to the Pan American and American Overseas Airlines Amalgamation. Beautiful Lobbyist After Connelly helped these two airlines to combine, his vivacious friend and vice president of American Airlines, Carlene Roberts, had her salary increased from $12,000 to $25,000. The full impact of these developments is not realized by the president. And if he does read about them in the newspapers, the palace guard usually manages to discount them as more persecution by the press. The president, for instance seems to have no realization that when his personal physician, Brig. Gen. Wallace Graham, is publicly exposed for gambling on the commodity market and gets promoted rather than reprimanded, the cut is taken by lesser men all down the line in government. What those in the White House get away with, argue those down the line, others can get away with what that "pillar of light" gets for the grower in the money. On a particular grove this grower picked about 6000 box valencia oranges. Of this amount about 2600 went to "jule we say in the Exchange sewing circle." That worked out (the "Exchange Miracle" method) to about 8000 pounds of solids. For the 2600 boxes of juice fruit the grower received $685. So the grower LOST $53 on the operation while "enjoy higher returns that Exchange aggressiveness, efficiency and ease make possible." This would be funny if it were not so tragic valencia grower. Don't kid yourself, the "Gremlins of the K... The incident illustrates the power of the White House staff in presiding over staff meetings. Part of the time is monopolized by Gen. Vaughan, who takes pride in being a couple of new jokes every day for the amusement his chief, while part of the is spent telling Mr. Truus about the unfairness of the situation. Intentions once or twice, the president has led his staff conference on amounts amounted to a sermon on government, repeated his us quotation to Democraticerman Frank McKinney, "my kids have let me down," told the never tolerated graft when was a county judge for Tom Mergast, and wound up with an statement that he intended grow out the crooks. When when the conversation around specific ways of coming up influence, someone initially shifted it to Mr. Truus not to get his damn up, and the president's final good intentions are foreseen. Fact is that Matt Connelly most astute member of the president, for instance, seems to have no realization that when his personal physician, Brig. Gen. Wallace Graham, is publicly exposed for gambling on the commodity market and gets promoted rather than reprimanded, the cut is taken by lesser men all down the line in government. What those in the White House get away with, argue those down the line, others can get away with. The acceptance of free deep-freezes by General Vaughan for Mrs. Truman and members of the cabinet may not have secured important to the president. But these examples set at the very top, have had immediate repercussions down below. So does the effect of a municipal judgeship to the son of the liquor dealer who sends liquor to the White House, Milton Kronhelm. So also does the effect of the free perfume which John Maragion brought in for the wives of high officials, Maragon even attempted to bribe the customs, and because he was a friend of the White House, got away with it where other men would have been prosecuted. With these White House cues tacked on the public horizon for all the world to see, it is not hard to understand why subordinates follow suit. That is one important way corruption gets started in government. The first clash between Italian and Ethiopian soldiers occurred at or near Wal Wal on the disputed frontier of Italian Somaliland Dec. 9, 1935. On a particular grove this grower picked about 6000 box valencia oranges. Of this amount about 2600 went to "juice" we say in the Exchange sewing circle. That worked out (the "Exchange Miracle" method) to about 8000 pounds of soils solids. For the 2600 boxes of juice fruit the grower received $685. So the grower LOST $53 on the operation while "enjoy higher returns that Exchange aggressiveness, efficiency and make possible." This would be funny if it were not so tragic valencia grower. Don't kid yourself, the "Gremlins of the Krypton know this story well and it makes them unhappy to have some body" say things openly about them when "he does not know he is talking about." The above, however, is taken from one own packinghouse reports. BUT LET'S get back to the 2600 boxes of "juice" fruit that wonderful (they even admit it). Exchange put into "national button" for this soon-to-be-ex grower and under the Million Sunkist label, too. This grower will eventually and the Grow willing, get more money for his "juice" fruit. By their own cell this grower will receive another $800 for his juice fruit. If and he receives this final payment his net, on the tree return for "juice" fruit will be about thirty (30) cents a box. We were about to say that his return would be a "thirty cents" but in the Exchange doubletalk put out to any growers this should read a "magnificent return created by least eight important advancements by Exchange in 1951. The facts reflect the aggressive spirit that exists throughout the kist organization." By the time you have read the wonderful things the Exchanger doing for the grower you entirely forget about the "lousy thirty cents." The above will not exactly win us a popularity contest up where the Provident Plan is rampant but if any Exchange will point out a SINGLE inaccuracy in the above we will buy a medal. Yep, we are gettin' tough, there isn't any other adver they can take away from us. How does the above "lousy thirty cents" look in the face what the Florida Department of Agriculture OFFICIALLY reg Florida growers received for their 1951 valencias that went frozen concentrate? The Florida Department of Agriculture reported that their收获了$2.35 a box for regular season valencias that were frozen concentrate juice channels THIS VERY YEAR OF 1951 Florida valencias going fresh brought much more in 1951. These are figures from the Florida Department of Agriculture Would you care to see them? It can be arranged. OBLONG VIEWS FROM AN EGG-SHAPED HEAD BY WALDO HUNTER IT NOW MUST BE starkly evident to many that the devastating after-effects of a mid-week Christmas are hardly worth the effort. Christmas builds up at a terrific pace to the grand climax, and the let-down on the day after is depressive, to say the least. There is even reason to believe that commercialism is emphasized to a degree that is all out of reason during the Christmas festival, and certainly the great accalm celebrating the birth of the Babe in Bethlehem quite often is drowned out by the jangling of the cash registers. If one doesn't buy Christmas presents he is considered a heel. If he does, he's accused of trying to milk the recipient for a return gift. Too much of the Christmas spirit has to be artificially induced by intemperate wassailing, and many families have come actually to dread the season as an annual spending splurge of fearful drain on already strained finances. More and more one hears the desperate remark: "I'm glad it comes but once a year!" Midweek holidays disrupt the routine of things, slowing production and upsetting the economy. There is one school of thought which favors an automatic calendar, with all holidays arranged to fall on Friday. This would insure two days of rest and recuperation, and the new week could start off on an even keel. The Christmas tree which—once a thing of rare beauty—now reposes unheralded and unsung out in the back yard somewhere. Although the British have few customs which the Americans would care to adopt, they do observe what they call "Boxing Day." This is observed the day AFTER Christmas. It is a day for visiting, exchange of gifts, "cheerloing," and "what-ho-ing." When Christmas falls on any day but Friday, we could well emulate the British in this respect by proclaiming a day of rest after the main celebration. But please don't think that this is Old Scrooge himself talking. Best wishes for the New Year: I SUPPOSE there is one in every neighborhood.

DANSON HOLLYWOOD — If you ever happen to be wandering along Selma Avenue here in Hollywood around 3 or 4 am., and see the lights still burning on the second floor of a frame building between El Centro and Gower, don't report the matter to the police or the night watchman. The place is not a gambling den and the janitor did not forget to turn out the lights, for in reality, they work around the clock there at a very unusual business. The business—without which radio and TV viewers would be sadly confused — is called a music service, owned by a prematurely gray gentleman named Johny Capers. His service supplies scores for radio and TV orchestras, a job which is no mean feat in itself except that each score must be copied by hand—tailormade to fit the style of the orchestra, the key of the soloists and the mood of the show. I met Caper in studio "A" at NBC where he was sitting front row center with his eyes closed during a rehearsal of "The Railroad Hour." "I always close my eyes at these rehearsals," he explained. I SUPPOSE there is one in every neighborhood. He is the fellow who drops in on Christmas or New Year's with some new potable which he has devised and which you simply must not refuse at the risk of insulting him. One of these characters came over Christmas Day with a vile-smelling, piping hot potable which he had aptly named "Ugly, Duckling Punch." Over our protestations he forced the stuff on us, claiming that it contained nothing more potent than gin, whisky, white wine and vodka. The assemblage quaffed a round of the stuff. Two minutes later there was an earthquake. Warnow's orchestra to accompany the 'March of Time,' we'd arrive at the studio with completed scores to accompany a piece of news from say, Germany. Then during rehearsal a late news development from China would come in which the producer wanted in the show. We'd have to revise every score to include Chinese music, sometimes only an hour before airtime." Johnny started listening intently to a number by the Norman Luboff choir, so I excused myself and left. I had a story. TELE-TIPS . . .

Johnny explained that he and his three-man crew work around the clock, night after night, in order to keep orchestras supplied with the unending number of hand copied scores they require. "And hardly anyone, outside the industry, even knows our type of business exists," he walled. "They think the music those guys use comes off a printing press, but it doesn't. We work our eyes red turning the stuff out night and day." Here was an amazing business that few would ever suspect existed, and particularly one that must present many problems. "Problems? Yes!"
