Applications for
Oil Leases Blanket
Kenai Peninsula
ANCHORAGE, UP) — Some
$65,000 worth of oil lease appli
cations were deposited with the
Bureau of Land Management here
Friday, apparently in an effort
to blanket the entire Kenai Pen
insula.
Almost half of the leases were
filed in the names of E. Wells
Ervin and M. B. Kirkpatrick,
business associates here.
The remaining applications
were made by H. M. Goforth, rep
resenting the Ohio Oil Co., of Los
Angeles, and numerous individual
residents of California and Ohio.
Land office officials, swamped
by the influx of applications, es
timated the 108 filings represenO
ed a total of about 250,000 acres
in the northern and western por
tions of the peninsula.
Leases filed previously covered
most of the southern part of the
peninsula. Government geologists
have rated the entire western and
southern part of the Kenai “geo
logically favorable” for oil pro
duction.
Ervin said he and Kirkpatrick
and their associates have “some
definite plans” for developing the
acreage they applied for, but said
he did not care to reveal the
plans at this time. He added that
the 54 lease applications made in
his and Kirkpatrick’s names were
not made in behalf of any oil
firm. He said he and his associ
ates have long had real estate in
terests on the peninsula.

Eisenhower Bids for Farm Vote,
Says GOP Congress Will Assure
Farmers an ‘Enduring Prosperity’
By MARVIN L. ARROWSMITH
INDIANAPOLIS, UP) — Presi
dent Eisenhower bid for the na
tion’s farm vote Friday night, say
ing election of a Republican Con
gress will help assure American
farmers “a foundation of endur
ing prosperity.”
Speaking to a wildly cheering,
capacity crowd of 15,000 in Butler
University fieldhouse, the Presi
dent jabbed at the Truman ad
ministration for what he termed
the farmers’ “serious loss in buy
ing power” in 1951-52.
And—in a separate speech at a
smaller rally of GOP colleagues—
he sounded a challenge to Re
publicans to spur “our horses . . .
and to get to going” in the party’s
drive to maintain control of Con
gress in the Nov. 2 elections.
Eisenhower stopped over in the
Indiana capital in the midst of
the farm belt on his way to hurri

Denver, where he ended an eight
week work and play vacation
Friday.
The chief executive’s major ad
( dress last night—broadcast na
tionwide by radio and telecast in
15 farm states—marked another
l stop-up in his personal campaign
to swing voters into the Republi
can column this fall.
During the first 21 months of
his administration, he said, “we
have gone far toward building for
our agriculture a foundation of
enduring prosperity, in an Ameri
ca at last at peace.”
He said there never had been
more constructive farm legislation
than that passed by the GOP-con
trolled 83rd Congress, and he
blamed “the old farm law” for a
“steady decline in farmers’ buy
ing power.”
On the speakers platform with
Eisenhower at Butler Fieldhouse
were Secretary of Agriculture
Benson, whom he warmly praised,
and Republican candidates from
the farm belt area. There had
been reports from Washington
that GOP leaders counseled
against having Benson on the
platform, presumably because of
some Republican opposition to the
administration's controversial farm
program.
