-The incident, he said, was a -clear violation of United States diction. Since the police force split into East and West units, the head of the Soviet sector jpplice, Paul Markgraf, has ordered his men to ignore sector boundaries in their operations. Reviewing last night's rioting at Potsdamer Platz, Col. Frank L. Howley, United States commander of Berlin, said, "it must be recognized that German police have a right to defend themselves against attack by lawbreakers.

"The. lawlessness indicated in yesterday's activities in the Soviet sector is regretable, but it is quite that police in the Soviet sector are having difficulty maintaining law and order, and snaintaining respect of the population, in the face of the known criminal records of their leaders. For Drilling Permit On King County Well Request for a permit to start drilling by on a wildcat in the Bateman Ranch area of East-Central King county, has been filed by Humble Oil and Refining company, through its North Texas division office at Wichita Falls, in an application with the Texas Railroad Commission. The exploration will be Humble No. 43 Bateman Trust estate.

It is located 13 miles northeast of the town of Guthrie, and 4,052 feet from north and 1,065 feet from east lines of section 114, block John B. Rector survey. This prospector is adjacent to producers from the regular Bateman Ranch pay in the upper Pennsylvanian lime, at around 3,700 feet. It is presumed that operator hopes to find the Ellenburger in going to 7,000 feet in the No. 43 Salesman Trust estate.

Drillstem Test Is Made Cities Service No. 1 Burney, Southwest Scurry county deep wildcat, 15 miles southwest of Snyder, and 1,980 feet from north and 2,130 feet from west lines of section 143, block 97, survey, took a one hour drillstem test in a Pennsylvanian lime at feet. There was a fair blow of air throughout the period. Recovery was 130 feet of muddy, salty, sulphur water, and 500 feet of salty, sulphur water. No signs of oil or gas were reported.

The exploration is making more hole below 7,455 feet in lime. It had shown some small quantities of free oil in a previous drill- stem test at feet. Magnolia Petroleum Company No. 1 Winston, four miles south of Snyder, in South-Central Scurry county, and 330 feet from north and west lines of tract 72, Kirkland and Fields survey No. 37, took a two and one half hour drillstem test in the Pennsylvanian at 7,1837,200 feet.

Gas Shows Ai Surface Gas, of an unreported amount, showed at the surface in 21 minutes. Recovery was 310 feet of oil, 95 feet of oil cut with drilling mud, and five feet of salt water. The development is drilling ahead belowe 7,236 feet. This prospector has shown for a possible small commercial producer from a Pennsylvanian lime above 6,913 feet. It is scheduled to drill on down to the Ellenburger, unless it.

We must test anything, even if it sounds a bit farfetched. We don't miss any bets over Eere." As the Air Force proceeded on its own investigation of the bizarre fires, state Fire Marshal John Crait of Illinois led the official probe.

Assisting, said Gust, are the National Board of Pire Underwriters and the University of Illinois. He explained these two agencies are attempting to determine which, if any, special materials were ure- sent in all the fires. J'They are even testing the said Gust. "This could be a nat- phenomenon." Marshal Crait quoted Gust as the origin of the Willey farm fires may be related to several unsolved airplane fires in wliich, he said, radio-activity is suspected of playing a part. Gust did not elaborate on this in an interview.

Clemency Record Hit (Continued From Page One) again, to commit crimes upon defenseless people," he said. Coke Told Of "Discontent" Wyatt charged that another board member had apprised Stevenson of "discontent" in the penitentiary because, he said, first termers would frequently serve more time than a three or four-time convict with the same sentence. Wyatt quoted the 1946 state auditor's report as showing that 2,754 convicts released during that year included 722 burglars, 608 murders, 507 robbers, 465 thieves, 221 forgers, 127 sex offenders, 18 embezzlers, 18 men guilty of unnatural crimes, eight swindlers, six bigamists, and four kidnappers. "I could tell you of actual case listories which would make your ulood run cold," Wyatt said. "Such as the case of the man who committed a terrible offense against a theological student in Fort Worth.

He was released under a clemency signed by Gov. Stevenson's name, and while on parole ried to commit the very same offense against another girl. He was sent back to prison and served a few more months and then, be- ieve it or not, he was turned loose again. What did he do? Why he at- his third attack on a de- "enseless little school girl. This ime, every parent fervently hopes, le is behind the bars for good." Cites Other Cases Wyatt said this was "no isolated case." Let's dip into the grabbag of rime again and pull out another," he said, citing an instance of "a particularly horrible character who was molesting small.

girls." "The board of pardons look- 1 ed at some photographs which this man had taken, the details of which are too revolting to tell you about. They placed these pictures in the man's file with a notation that he should never be released. Yet he was to destroy the morals of children," Wyatt said. "So far as I know, Mr. Stevenson's comment on this record has been that signing clemencies recommended by the board is a matter of routine, and that the pardon record is not an issue in this campaign.

That may be. It is true that a member of the United States Senate has nothing to do with clemencies. In any event, I have made this talk because I think that the people of Texas are entitled to the facts with reference to pardons and he concluded. Daily Market Spotlight Stocks NEW yORIC, Ang. M.

In New York, Lomakin declined to discuss his situation. Presidential Press Secretary Charles G.

Ross told reporters "the whole thing was done under the President's orders."

The Russians had filed three major protest notes charging American authorities with helping a private organization, the Tolstoy foundation, to "kidnap" the teachers; "surrender" of the teachers was demanded; punishment was asked for New York policemen who allegedly entered the consulate, at the time of the Kosenkina jump, without permission. to York City, Wilkes-Barre, Nlagra and Rochester are Mr. and Mrs. Henry J.

Senate Candidates File Second Primary Expense Accounts (By Tie Associated Press) The two candidates in Texas' heated U. S. senatorial runoff campaign continued to talk about each other night Coke Stevenson told a farm audience at Kerens, in Central Texas, that his opponent, Lyndon Johnson, had been "making light" of the -threat of foot and mouth disease.

Johnson, at the East Texas city of Longview for a rally, asked Stevenson to tell voters "what promises of support he extracted from Henry 'Wallace, when Wallace cooled coffee with him (Stevenson) in the governor's mansion back in 1944." Both Hurl Charges "If my opponent was really well- informed on farm and ranch problems-'" he would not' be making light of the menace of foot and mouth disease. "It is a danger not only to ranchers and fanners, but to the general public-anybody interested in buying meat. The spread of the foot and mouth disease to this country would cause a shortage of meat and an increase in prices." Johnson said in a statement: "To cover up the slush funds being poured into Texas in his behalf, my opponent tries to start a smokescreen by asking who is furnishing the funds. Expense Accounts Filed "I do not know who is paying for his big billboards, for the expensive book he published praising himself, or for his full-page newspaper advertisements and hundreds of paid workers, but I have a pretty good guess." The two candidates, both claiming that vast amounts are being spent against them, filed their second expense accounts for the second primary with the secretary of state at Austin Thursday. Johnson reported he has spent $8,988.94 thus far and listed donations totaling $4,955.

Stevenson's report listed expenses of $9,018.59 and donations of $7,225. State law limits candidates in statewide races to personal expenditure of not more than $10,000. Prospector Reports Uranium Ore Discovered In Oklahoma LAWTON, Aug. 20 (U.B— Uranium, the raw material of the atomic bomb, can be mined in the Wichita mountains in southwestern Oklahoma, a pioneer mine developer claimed today. H.

G. Southard, a prospector since 1905, said analyses of mineral ore obtained in the hills northwest of Lawton have recently been completed by both the government and a New York chemical firm. "It would cost $50,000 to develop the mining of uranium but I hope to interest some capitalist in the project," Southard said. The prospector, who lives on Route Two, Indiahoma, did not name the government agency or the chemical firm to which he sent samples of ore.
