Butler W ins In
Squabble Over
Convention Seats
By MURRAY FROMSON
LOS ANGELES, UP) — The ruck
us over tickets has ended in a
complete victory for Democratic
National Chairman Paul Butler
— and Los Angeles will keep the
1960 party convention.
Butler threw the prestige of his
office into a showdown over seat
ing with wealthy . oilman Edwin
C. Pauley. The dispute almost cost
this city its first major political
convention.
Pauley bowed out as finance
chairman of the host committee
and the old committee was dis
banded.
Pauley had insisted the commit
tee was promised 5.000 tickets a
day to the July convention in re
turn for its $350,000 guarantee to
the national committee. He later
offered to compromise and accept
3,133. Butler refused him on both
counts.
A new sponsoring group was
formed. It agreed to underwrite
the guarantee and accept Butler’s
top ticket offer — 1,500 tickets a
day. Butler had threatened to pull
the convention out of Los An
geles unless his terms were met.
The old committee was replaced
with one headed by Republican
Mayor Norris Poulson as chairman
and Dan A. Kimball, president of
Aerojet General Corp., as execu
tive chairman. Kimball was Sec
retary of the Navy under former
President Harry S. Truman.

Yukon Oil Find
Brings Promise of
Major Industry
VICTORIA, B. C., — A. P.
Davidson, chief of the Resources
Division of the Northern Affairs
Department, described the discov
ery of oil and gas in the Yukon
as “encouraging, perhaps a ma
jor development.”
The discovery in the north cen
tral Yukon just inside the Arctic
Circle, was announced in Ottawa
by Resources Minister Alvin Ham
ilton.
“It is very encouraging that
evidence of oil and gas resources
has been found so quickly in the
Yukon field,” Davidson said.
The well, at Eagle Plain, about
200 miles north of Dawson City,
is only the second drilled in the
northern Yukon, he said.
He described the oil as the type
best suited to gasoline production.
A rate of flow had not yet been
determined. The gas is drill stem
tested at a rate of up to 10,000,000
cubic feet a day. ,

Some Progress Made in
Caging H-bomb Energy
WASHINGTON, (JPI — A pos
sible breakthrough in the search
for a way to harness an H-bomb
reaction for peaceful purposes has
been reported toy the Naval Re
search Laboratory.
Dr. W. R. Faust, who described
the work Monday, was cautious
in appraising it but said it was
a step forward.
The problem in harnessing the
H-bomb reaction, comes in heat
ing heavy hydrogen gas to a tre
mendous temperature — in this
case. 28 million degrees — until
its atoms fuse and release energy,
and then containing the gas long
enough for the fusion to take
place.
Faust said Dr. Alan Kolb suc
ceeded in containing the gas long
er than previously reported for
such a high density gas.
