"I" But Rassel had foreseen Red's difficulty. "Wait a minute, Red," he said. "We haven't outlined the whole set- up yet. I told Dad I thought j it would be a good idea for you to work part time in the labora tory here while going to school. That way you'll be right in touch with our problems and the new paints we're developing. And once you get the old sheepskin you're all set to step risht into the head job. You'll be well paid for the time you put in, in the lab. Don't worry about the money part of it." That put a different complexion on the deal. Red knew he couldn't refuse to give it a try at least. 'Well, I guess all I can say is is thanks." "Don't mention that, you big goon," Russ said affectionately. "When do I start?" Red asked. "Go up to the university and get your schedule fixed first," Ar thur Condon said. "Then you can report in here for work." "Wait a minute," Russ said as Eed stood up to leave. "I'm all tied up tonight, darn it. But we've got to celebrate now that you're back. What about tomorrow night Saturday?" "All right with me," Red grinned. "But I don't know any girls here, now." "Leave that to me," Russ said. "I'll fix you up. Blonde or bru nette?" Red made a clicking sound with his tongue against his cheek. "You know me," he wisecracked. "Blonde, of course." J7LISE VARNEY stripped off her black slacks and white blouse and stepins, leaving them in a huddle on the bathroom floor and sank into the steaming tub she had drawn. She let out a sigh of sheer relief. Occasionally there were days when she lost some of her fine fervor for her job. For instance this one. It had made her heart ache to see Jim Gary leave. Not that there was any romantic attachment between them. It was rather that Jim to her was a pathetic figure. He had been her helper during the two years she had worked in the lab oratory, and she had suspected long before any one else knew, that there was something serious behind his rejection by the Army. And then on the very day when he was saying goodby to have that great hulking brute of a pilot barge in and taunt Jim with his failure to get into the Army. Her hands curled in hot anger at the remembrance. She'd have liked to have throttled him. The big bully! She got out of the bath and dried herself and wrapped a white chenille robe about herself and went into the adjoining room and lay down. Presently she'd dress and go out and get something to eat, but for the moment she was too tired. It was a nice enough room as rented sleeping rooms go. In fact above the average. Only at times like this, when she was tired, her thoughts stole longingly back to the home she had grown up in. The big white frame house her room in white paneling and blue satin paper with the taffeta drapes and bed spread and dainty skirted vanity. She had had everything until her father died. TTLISE sighed sharply. It was never any good looking back at the past. It only brought back the old heartaches. The ineffec tual struggle her poor mother, left with debts and no income, had made for a year before her own death. It was sheer luck that Elise had liked chemistry and had majored in it at the smart women's college she had attended with Janice Con don. So when Janice Condon's father had offered a job in his laboratory she could take it with out feeling that she was accepting charity. . ; Elise liked her job. She knew she gave a good account of herself in it and she knew Arthur Condon was satisfied. And she liked the feeling of independence it gave her. It was even more exciting now that Russel Condon was back from the war and showing an interest in her. She heard the telephone ring in the downstairs hall and a moment later the landlady called up to say it was for her. Elise ran down the stairs to answer. It was Russel calling to remind her of their date for Saturday night. And he had something else on his mind. A pal of his had just got back from overseas. They'd have to cele brate. Could she dig up a girl for him? "Who Red McFan?" Elise's voice fell. "Oh, yes, I met him today in the lab." Her first impulse wras to tell Russel that she didn't care about Red McFan that she didnt care to inflict him even for one evening on any of her girl friends. But if he was a friend of Russel's that wouldn't do. She listened. Russel was saying something else. "Oh, he's particular, is he? She has to be a blonde!" A ' mischievous smile spread over Elise's face. "Yes, I know some one," she said sweetly. "I know just the girl for him." She was still smiling when she hung up. Sally Clark. Perfect! Perfect! Red would be sure to be a-sucker for Sally's looks and then when he found out about Sally. . . (To Be Continued) the prediction of "calamity-howlers" who calim that all United States oil reserves will have dis appeared by 1962. In a week's tour of the oil fields and refinery centers of Texas and Louisiana, this correspondent in quired into the origin of the pre diction that all the oil in the Uni ted States would vanish in 15 years. Basis of Predictions The answer was that thos who made the prediction have simply divided the amount of "proved re serves" in the United States 22,000,000,000 barrels, by the a- I: mount consumed yearly 1 1-2,- OOu.UUU.uuu barrels, ine result is 14 2-3 years, so on that basis, they estimate the depletion. Oil men here said that such pre dictions fail to take into account the fact that more oil is being found all the time, and that con servation measures are becoming increasingly popular. In that con nection, they point to the advant ages of an increased use of na- GOP Congress Will Tighten j Loans Abroad NEW YROK (UP) The Repub lican 80th Congress, it appears certain Thursday, will tighten Am erican Foreign Loan policy, chal lenge the reciprocal trade pro gram and support a firm stand toward Russia. An examination of GOP voting records and speeches indicates the new Congress will study closely any proposals , for further large loans to foreign countries, par ticularly Russia. The record also shows that powerful Republican Senators Republicans will not feel free to I and some members have urged revision or elimination of the re ciprocal trade agreements act.that authorizes the President to cut tariffs up to -r0 per cent. On one point, however, Mr. Tru man had a promise of cooperation The new congress, only a few hours after its election, was pled ged by the men who will be its leaders to support a continued bi partisan approach to world problems- This appears to rule out any probability of a repetition of what happened after World War I as a Republican Senate rejected a Democratic President's efforts to write peace and establish inter national Peace machinery. Buth this does not mean that I FOR TRUCKS AND TRACTORS vote changes in the administra tion of Foreign policy, particular ly in loans and tariffs. A majority of GOP senators in the past have favored elimination of the reciprocal trade program, written by the late president Roos" evelt and former Secretary o f State Cordell Hull- Only a year ago Republican members voted 16 to 14 against extension of the program's basic act. The unofficial tabulation showe that only 56 House and six Senate candidates supported by the CIO political action committee were victory. In 1944 PAC claimed it was instrumental in electing 180 representatives and senators- It had predicted it would swing the decision this year in 100 close dis tricts but fell far short- TRUCK, TRACTOR AND PASSENGER TANK HEATERS OF ALL KIHDS METAL CHRISTMAS TREE HOLDERS Hi-Speed CALROD AUTOMATIC C.

Lander United Press Staff Correspondent HOUSTON, Texas (UP) Expl ration for new oil fields in the United States is actively under way. At the same time the industry is busy trying to find new uses for natural gas. which in Texas is found in enormous quantities. Also most oil states are enforcing conservation measures. Here in the center of the "mid continent" oil section, experienc- j ed oil men place no credence in M m Just Received CONSOLE MODEL I RADIO- 1 PHONOGRAPH f Combinations g $147-50 3 A Full Stock ol I TABLE i I RADIOS I I! and I Table Radio- I Phonograph 1 Combination n " Texas, which has been a big oil producing state since 191, is now busy with further explorat ions. The fabulous King Ranch is being developed as an oil field. Louisana also has long been pro ducing oil. but new fields are be- j inc found there on land, under water in rivers, swamps and marsh. The same is true in other states with long-producing records. But new ones, such as Florida. Georgia and Mississippi, are coming into the picture. And even on bleak Capte Hatteras, N C., exploratory work is going on Drilling Under Water Here in the rich mid-continent area, one learns the truth of the old adage that "oil is where you find it " In Galveston Bay, we saw drilling for oil, 40 feet under I water an operation which engin eers told us was complicated, but nothing very much out of the or dinary, for at Lake Maracaibo, Venezuela, they get oil 100 feet under water. At the town of Kilgore, Texas, for the digging of an oil well. We saw a well dug at an angle to get under a church. We saw oil wells on the right of way of railroads. In some bayous of Louisianna, artificial islands have beenbuilt to keep the derricks and boilers and ! on during operations. There al ready are two wells under the Mississippi River, drilled from the banks, at an angle. The fact that oil might be un der an ocean, bay, marsh, swamp river or other inaccessible places does not deter the oil men from going after it.

At a panel discussion on the parking problem, speakers said that such facilities must be per manent and that they must be sponsored by City governments.
