Senate investigators Wednesday

The angling development is
more or less aimed at the mile
gap between the B. O. Staton dry
hole and the Lita Pepper Cooper
dry hole oil test, some watching
the development have speculated.
However this is just talk thus
far because the Rayburn well, if
completed, would be more than
two miles southwest of the Staton-
Cooper strip.

His condition was called "serious,
but not critical."
Lawless is employed by the Key
City Transport Co. of Abilene, and
was driving the rig east on High-
way 80 when a tire blew out, it was
reported. Some 30 guard rail posts
were knocked down by the big ve-
hicle, before it burst into flames.
The truck burned for more than
an hour, with smoke and flames
blocking the highway for a consid-
erable length of time, and traffic
was halted until the flames were
not considered a hazard to pass-
ing traffic.
The truck and trailer was con-
sidered a total loss. Patrolman E. | Sen. J. William Fulbright's inves-

it will be found not in the stock
market itself but in the effects oi
this inflationary heritage.
"People invest in stocks for two

Willing to Talk Business
On the subject of conditions pre-

President said that generally what
he wanted more than anything else
was an indication that the Russians
were willing to talk business after
last weekend the idea of a big
power meeting. He would not re-
quire Russia to meet any particu-
lar conditions prior to a high-level
