Terry Wildcat Gels Shows
Of Oil in Pennsylvanian
Good indications for the open-
ing of a new oil field from the
Pennsylvanian reef lime in south-
central Terry County have been
encountered at Fullerton Oil Com-
pany No. 1 Zorns, a wildcat three
miles south of the nearest pro-
duction in the Brownfield. South
(Canyon) Field.
Borden Test
Runs Pipe to
Ellenburger
The Superior Oil Company was
preparing to run pipe to the top
of the Ellenburger to Na 14-598
Jordan, wildcat to extreme north-
east Borden County, after finding
oil on a drillstem tert to the top-
of that formation.
The test was teken to the Interval
from 8,413 to 8,430 feet Tool was
open 80 minutes. Gas surfaced
in 78 minutes. No oil came to
the top while tool was open. Re-
covery was 543 feet of 38.7-gravity
oll and 87 feet of heavily oil and
gas-cut mud.
Shutin pressure after 48 minutes
was 3,900 pounds.
Ths Ellenburger was topped at
8,427 feet elevation 2,817 feet.
No. 14-598 Jordan is one and

60, block 20, Lavaca Navigation
Company survey and four miles
northeast of the town of Vincent.
Standard Oil Company of Texas
has resumed drilling at Na 14
Jones, wildest in northwest MIt-
ehen County, after testing the
Brokage zone from 2,869 to 2,877
feet.
That section had been treated
with acid After the acid, operator

north end 330 feet from west lines
of the southeast quarter of section
60, block 20, Lavaca Navigation
survey and one and one-half miles
northeast of the closest producer
to the Coronett 2900 field.
The prospector topped the Penn-
sylvanian reef lime at 8.870 feet.
Elevation to 3,288 feet. It drilled
to 10.007 feet and took a two-hour
drillstem test with the packer at
9,975 feet.
There was a strong blow of air
at the surface as soon as the tool
was opened. Gas came to the top
in 18 minutes and the gas blow
continued for the remainder of the
period. No fluid came to the sur-
face while the tester was open.
Recovery was 800 feet of 42-
gravity pipe line oil. There were
no signs of formation water. Open
flowing bottom hole pressure was
235 pounds.
Shutin bottom hole pressure, aft-
er 15 minutes was 4,050 pounds.
Operator then deepened from
10,007 feet to 10,032 feet The
samples through that interval had
a show of oil and gas. *
A drillstem test is to be run at
once on the sone at 10.007-10,032
feet.
This prospective discovery is
six and three quarters miles south
of the town of Brownfield and it
to five miles northeast of the Well-
man (Wolfcamp) Field.
Location to 660 feet from south
and west lines of Section 119, Block
T, D&W Survey.
The wildcat was drilled as a
result of a deal worked up by
state Exploration Company of
Texas. Headquarters of that con-
cern are in Midland.
State Exploration secured farm-
outs in that region from Stanolind
Oil & Gas Company, Fred Turner,
Jr., and Durham Drilling Com-
pany.
Each of those operators retain-
ed other lease la the vicinity of
the Fullerton No. 1 Zorns.
The farmout tracts were turn-
ed to Fullerton when that concern
assumed an obligation to drill the
deep wildcat.
State Exploration kept interests
in the trade with Fullerton.

Crude Flow for Novemb
Sets New All-Time Hig
By BO BYERS
AUSTIN, Oct 17 UB-The Rail-
road commission, taking no chanc-
es on a national heating oil short-
age this winter, raised the
November oil allowable today to
an all-time high of 3,372,252 bar-
rels daily.
The permissive flow will be 85-
547 barrels per day more than the
current allowable and will estab-
lish a record for the third consecu-
tive month.
Purchasers at today’s statewide
proration bearing divided rather
evenly on whether to boost produc-
tion, cut it, or keep it near the
present level.
Stanolind Oil Purchasing Co. and
Shell Oil Co. suggested the sharp-
est cuts. They feared excessive
crude stocks. Ralph Dietler of
Tulsa, Stanolind chairman, was
doubtful about the ability of the
West Texas District to move its
share of the oil in view of limited
pipeline capacity.
Increased average daily produc-
tion will be possible in November
because the same number of days
of flow will be followed statewide
and in the East Texas Field as in
October 23 and 18, respectively.
That means a greater daily aver-
age because November has one
less day than October.
CULBERSON FAVORABLE
Chairman Olin Culberson said
during the bearing he was in favor
of boosting production regardless
of what the commission might de-
cide to do as a whole.
“As is usually the case, Joe
Doakes is waiting until after the
first norther comes-and possibly
until after the election-to fill up
his (heating oil) tanks," said Cul-
berson.
Recalling widespread criticism
of the commission when a bitter
cold spell caught the nation with
an inadequate supply of fuel oil
three years ago, Culberson said be
didn't want that to happen again.
"The industry can always cut
back," he continued. "I think it
only fair that industry share the
load with the commission.”
President Bryan Payne of the
Texas Independent Producers and
Royalty Owners Association sent
a telegram urging that domestic

DAV Says ‘Thanks'
To Seal Buyers
The Safety Seal Campaign which
has been conducted annually for
the past seven years has closed on
a note of gratitude for the heart-
iest response ever accorded the
appeal. The committee reports that
Interest In the campaign has ex-
ceeded all expectations, and that
the public has generously respond-
ed with the largest contributions
ever received.
The appeal had a dual purpose
in the rousing of public interest
in response to the deadly price
we are paying for our lack of safe-
ty consciousness on our highways
and to raise funds for the welfare
and rehabilitation work of the Dis-
abled American Veterans. The lo-
cal chapter depends altogether on
this program and the sale of the
little blue Forget-Me-Nots in the
spring tor their relief and welfare
work. This program finances emer-
gency relief cases among the
members, the maintenance and
provision of hospital beds and
wheel chairs’ for the use of those
who need them and who are un-
able to obtain them otherwise, a
visitation program including sev-
eral trips each year to the Big
Spring and Amarillo Veteran's
Hospitals with small gifts of en-
tertainment for the boys in the hos-
pitals.
The Taylor County Chapter of
the Disabled American Veterans
appreciates the wholehearted co-
operation which has been given
our program for the past two
weeks. We especially appreciate
the fine spirit in which those who
have received special appeals for
aid have responded, and we fur-
ther wish to tank all who have
expressed their interest and good
will even though they felt unable
at this time to help by buying the
seals. Your contributions have
helped us in our work of relief
among our leas able comrades and
we hope that extensive use of the
little safety reminders will help
reduce the appalling loss of life
and property caused by avoidable
accidents.
Safety Seal Committee Chairman
REED INGALSBE
Haskell Mother Says
Demos Offer No Help
Dear Editor:
As Christian, American, Demo-
erat. Mother, I have diligently kept
abreast. of current events through
many sources. These include "Mr
President,” "Crusade In Europe,"
and several books on Communists
exposures This I've done so that
I might vote RIGHT in Novem-
ber.
I am a young voter with much
at stake. We have three small chil-
dren.
Faithful Democratic leaders offer
me little help while hiding behind
dishonor, corruption, and a slogan
of "Don't take it away" — from
them!
Roosevelt was a great president,
ft doesn’t change the fact that cot-
ton was still only 8c a pound in
late 1838 and 1888 before WAR.
Depression- I'm SICK of hearing
it! Being very poor never took
away our family love or trust in
God—the main requisite for real
happiness. Always there was my
idea of the "American Dream." I
could co as for as my ambitions
inspired me to work, as long as
I was fair and did RIGHT. That
is the dream I want for our chil-
dren.
Don't think young Mothers are
going to sit by and see our hue-
bands and youngsters sacrificed to
a place where Military interference
is used on citizens, as has been in
California in the Falsbrook case
while politics play checker-board
with our boys lives in Korea; and
then their example of leadership
will come from a divorced man
playing mouthpiece for one who
seems to feel himself a 'Savior'
of our country. As such, begin-
ning to destroy the initiative of
some of our young by making ma-
terial hand-outs all important over
Christian principals. One thing I
don't fear for my children is WORK
—WITH A GOAL.
As Christian, American, I owe it
to my children, those of neighbors
who eat my cookies and whom I
have a personal love for, to vote
for a Christian man, and I will.
Sincerely,
MRS. FRANK CADENHEAD
Haakell, Texas

of Eisenhower's relationship with
