No. 1 M. A. Hendricks well, two
and a half miles north of Roscoe
in section 27, block 23, T&P sur-
vey, has been amended on its ap-
plication to drill. New location
figures spot it 467 feet from the
south and 660 feet from the east
lines of the section.
It will be a 6,500 foot test.
This well is just north of the P.
A. Smith lease where live wells
-have been finished and it is south-
Ttvest of the W. D. Rayburn well
which are in line, many think,
with the new discovery on the
Jack Perry place some six miles
northeast.
Humble Oil & Refining Co. ha<-
officially staked No. 4 R, R. Pet-
ty test south cf Nolan, as was ur-
oilicial'.y reported Inst week
The 6,500 foot test is spo'lcd 2-
945 feet from the north and 830
Jeet from the east lines of section
*3, block 7,, T&P survey.
This will be right back of the
Petty ranch home on the section
where three different pays have
been found in tests developed thus
far.
It is near the Highway 53 from
Nolan south to Hylton and Win-
ters.
to the 22 members of his "state-
wide steering committee."
The Democrats of Texas—keep-
ing up their running fire at the
Republican Party—spoke up in the
person of Rep. Albert Thomas of
Houston to chide the GOP on its
budget and tax programs.
Phillips, state senator from An-
gleton and a large chunk of Gulf
Coast territory since 1947, was the
honoree at a 5,000-person fish fry
on Galveston's celebrated "pleas-
ure pier." The jaunty lad with the
big bow tie used every minute for
political advantage.
He is convinced, the senator told
the Islanders and their visitors.
i that all the scandals connected
j with the hundred-million-dollar
j Veterans Land Program have not
been uncovered.
"I am convinced," he said, "that
! we have not yet uncovered all the
dishonest deals, all the graft and
| corruption, involved. We must con-
tinue the search and ferret out all
! of the wrong-doers."
j Phillips was one of the Senate
j investigators who probed the vet-
j erans land deals. So far the multi-
! pie investigations have resulted in
only Bascom Giles, former land
commissioner, going to trial. Giles
has been convicted twice, once on
a plea of guilty, in two court cases.
The senator from Angleton was
presented a bronze plaque on
which was engraved: "To Senator
Jimmy Phillips in recognition of
his ioyal and untiring efforts in
! behalf of the people of Galveston
j County and the state of Texas."
To which Phillips modestly re-
j plied: "No man can truthfully
I claim to be solely responsible for
I all of the accomplishments which
! may be credited to him. particular-
ly in the field of govrn^P'tal
| affairs."
White, youthful redhead who has
| been State Agriculture Commis-
' sioner for two terms, criticized the
I last Legislature for its failure to
j set up a statewide water program.
White, mentioned frequently as a
j candidate for governor, said noth-
[ ing of a campaign but took a firm
political stand in making his state-
; ment.s on water at water-conscious
j Hale Center in West Texas. He
; spoke before the High Plains Coop
I Ginners Assn. and the Coop Ware-
I house Assn.

R. C. Wafts Well
East Of Blackwell
Is Dual Producer
No. 1 R. C. Watts well of Drill-
ing and Exploration Co., recom-
pleted several weeks ago in the
Watts field east of Blackwell has
filed a potential report with the
Railroad Commission showing it
as a strong dual-producer.
There are two wells on the Watts
place, one sand well on the Mary
Dan Earwood place, three lime
wells on the Bolin estate and one
dual producer on the Bolin place.
The two pays are Gardner sand
and Gardner lime.
No. 1 R. C. Watts test of Drilling
and Exploration Co. Inc., et al. of
Houston, has been recompleted as
a dual producer.
This well in the Watts field is
between Blackwell and Hylton in
section 203, block 64, H&TC sur-
vey.
It is producing now from the
Gardner sand and Gardner lime
formations.
In the Gardner sand pay, daily
potential was 145.13 barrels of 47.1-
gravity oil, plus 12 per cent water.
Flow was through quarter-inch
choke with 1,200 pounds of casing
pressure and 380 pounds tubing
pressure.
Section from 5.445 to 5,450 was
perforated with 20 shots and treat-
ed with 7,000 gallons of acid. Total
depth is 5,492 feet, with casing set
at 5,491.
Gas-oil ratio was 2.067-1.
The Gardner lime pay section of
the well had a total of 192 barrels
of 45-8-gravity oil. It flowed
through 20/64th-lnch choke.
Casing pressure was 1,175
pounds, with 250 pounds o% tubing.

The well on the Jimmy Maddox
ranch (85-3A-H&TC) is down
about 6.300 feet.
This is a C. L. Norsworthy test

came to an end at 10 o'clock
Thursday evening in the death of
Mrs. S. F. (Judy) Supowit, 36, at
her home, 704 Thomas.
Funeral services were to be
held at 5 p. m. Friday at First
Methodist Church. Patterson Fu-
neral Home was to direct inter-1
ment in the Garden of Memories, j
It was the request of Mrs. Supo- j
wit and of her family that no flo-
ral offerings be sent, but that con-
tributions be made instead to the j
County-City Library fund.
Mrs. Supowit was born Julia Lee
Daniel in Del Rio on May 8, 1919

school, and attended The Uni ver-
ity of Texas, being graduated in ,

in Del Rio in late 1945. They came j
to Sweetwatfer Jan. 1, 1946. when
Dr. Supowit became associated j
vvitli the Peters Clinic following
Irs discharge from the army
Mrs. Supowit was an active
member of First Methodist Church
before she became ill, and also
belonged to the American Associa-
tion of University Women.
Her special interest, however,;
lay in Garden Club work. She was 1
a leading member of Sweetwater
Garden Club, and had progressed
to the status of junior judge to-
ward her goal of becoming a Na-
tional Flower Show Judge when
her illness became so acute that !
it prevented her from attending
additional flower show schools.

the Woman's Forum was greatly1
interested also in the success ot
the Comity-City Library.

tonight
Michael J. Quill, TWU president,
declared, however, that the em-
ployes might be "reluctant to post-
pone their decision to strike."
He said the union was notifying
the National Mediation Board that
it was directing its locals to post-
pone the walkout that would have
hit 12 states and the District of j
Columbia.
The postponement came after !
President Eisenhower stepped into j
the situation by creating an emer- |
gency fact-finding board to look J
into the dispute. Under the Rail- |
way Labor Act, this usually post- j
pones strikes for 60 days.
Quill said in a telegram to E. G. j
Thompson, secretary of the Nation-
al Mediation Board:
"The executive officers of the
Transport Workers Union, CIO, are j
instructing our Pennsylvania Rail- j
road locals to postpone their strike |
action scheduled for midnight to- I
night in view of the appointment \
of the presidential fact-finding j
board.
"Since our members have al- J
ready suffered long delays in re- j
ceiving justice on our grievances
with the railroad, our

and added:
"You are hereby instructed to
call off all strike and picket action
planned by the union and to notify j
your members on all shifts to re- j
port for work as scheduled and to '
make every effort to prevent in-
terruption of service."
He told the locals they will "re !
ceive further instructions if the j
situation requires further action." I
