ADAM HAD TO CONTEND WITH ONLY ONE
Oil Industry Was 100
Years Old Yesterday
By GIB STALEY
, TITUSVILLE, Pa., tP—The oil
industry not only was born in
freedom, but has been a vital
guardian of American freedom
through all the years that have
ensued,” Postmaster General Ar
thur B. Summerfield said Thurs
day.
Summerfield made the remark
in a brief talk dedicating a new
4-cent petroleum industry cen
tennial commemorative stamp. He
came here just 100 years to the
day after Col. Edwin Drake
brought in the world’s first com
mercial oil well at Titusville.
The Postmaster General said
the American people “have great
reason” to be indebted to the oil
industry, adding:
“It has supplied most of the
power that has made the Ameri
can standard of living possible.”
Summerfield said the oil in
dustry continues its progress, cit
ing it for developing fuel for jet
aircraft and missiles.
Hundreds of people got up
early to see an oil well shot only
200 yards from the spot where the
world’s first commercial oil well
was brought in Aug. 27, 1859 by
Col. Drake at a depth of 69V£
feet.
A shot of nitroglycerine was
used. Drake just drilled and oil
gushed from the ground. No oil
flowed in the demonstration, but
some of the liquid gold gathered
-at the bottom of the 450-foot well.
Although there was none of the
excitement of a “gusher” the oil
industry is far from dead in Pen
nsylvania. Refineries operate at
Oil City, Pa., only 15 miles south
of Titusville. There are many pro
ducing oil wells over a wide area
-of western Pennsylvania.

; Youngest Catholic
i Cardinal Climbs
Mont Blanc
COURMAYEUR, Italy, UP>—The
youngest cardinal of the Roman
Catholic Chefrch has climbed
Europe’s highest mountain.
Julius Cardinal Dopfner, 46
year old Bishop of Berlin, climbed
15,781-foot Mont Blanc 11 days
ago 4pco&nit° with three other
priests.
The four priests wore rough
mountain clothing and identified
themselves only to the parish
priest at Courmayeur, whom the
cardinal asked for permission to
celebrate mass in his church.
They pledged him to keep their
identities secret until after they
left.
The cardinal and his Compan
ions set out Aug. 16 with alpine
guide Aldo Ollier and his son,
spent the night on straw in a hut
with a group of alpine soldiers,
and began the ascent at 1:30 a.m.
They reached the top at 8 a.m.
Later the parish priest told Ol
lier one of his customers had been
a cardinal.
“If I had known it, I wouldn’t
have used such a rough tone giv
ing him orders during the climb,”
the guide said.

Navy Fjres First
Test Version of
Polaris Missile
“CAPE CANAVERAL, (TP) — The
Navy for the first time fired a
test version of a Polaris sub
marine missile from a ship at sea.
An informed source reported
after the' launching that the shot
was highly successful.
The spectacular launching ap
peared perfect as compressed air
shot the Polaris from a tube in
the deck of the USS Observation
Island. The first stage ignited
some 70 feet above the deck.
A 28-foot missile arched high
in the sky and headed down the
Atlantic missile range, spurting a
long tail of white smoke. A break
in the smoke trail and a puff of
fire 60 seconds later indicated the
burnout of the first stage and ig
nition of the second.
The Observation Island was
cruising slowly in calm waters
about seven miles offshore at the
time.
The ship launching was another
step in developing the Polaris as
a deadly weapon for ocean prowl
ing submarines.

Ike Pledges Protection to West Berlin
By MARVIN L. ARROWSMITH
BONN, Germany, (JPi — Presi
dent Eisenhower wound up his
talks in Germany Thursday with
a pledge to protect the peoples of
West Berlin and to stand fast
with America’s Western allies
against the menace of Soviet
Communism.
Eisenhower conferred for 5Vz
hours with Chancellor Konrad
Adenauer and the two issued a
communique pronouncing the
Western allaince “of utmost im
portance to world peace.”
The two governments, the com
munique said, hold mrftual coop

ONCE UPON A TIME
ACCORDING TO
ESKIMO LEGEND . . .
WASHINGTON, (At—Once upon
j a time, according to folklore of
I northern Alaska Eskimos, the
| moon and sun were man and
I wife.
They argued about the weather.
I The moon-man wanted it colder.
| The woman-sun liked it warmer,
j The man attacked her with a
1 knife. She left and went to live
by the rainbow.
j This tale and others are part
of the cosmic beliefs of the north
ern Alaska Eskimos recounted in
a report by the Bureau of Ameri
can Ethnology of the Smithsonian
Institution. The report was pre
pared by Dr. Robert F. Spencer
of the University of Minnesota.
Other beliefs of the still prim
itive people:
The earth is flat and rests on
four wooden pillars, one at each
point of the compass.
Lost hunters are sometimes de
scribed as having fallen over the
edge of the flat world.
The northern lights were be
lieved to bring headaches and
pains in the neck. Eskimos turned
their backs to the aurora and
waved knives to ward off the in
fluence.

tries.”
Eisenhower hold a news con
ference he saw no evidence here
of disunity among the Western
allies.
At the same time the President
said he believes closer unity of
the nations of western Europe “is
really the hope for salvation of
the world.”
The statements added up to a
firm assurance by the President
that in his forthcoming talks with
Soviet Premier Khrushchev he
will do nothing" .to undercut the
NATO alliance.
Eisenhower emphasized he will
hold “conversations and not ne
gotiations” with Khrushchev.
The communique said Eisen
hower “referred once again to
the pledge given by the United
States and its allies to protect the
freedom and welfare of the peo
ple of Berlin.”
Eisenhower and Adenauer, the
communique said, engaged® in “a
private detailed discussion on
worldwide political questions.”
Eisenhower left Bonn with the
ringing cheers of the West Ger
man public. When he walked
from Adenauer’s Palais Schaum
berg, thousands were lined up to
say goodbye.
He took off in a helicopter for
Wahn airport enroute to London
and talks with Prime Minister
Harold MacMillan. Adenauer ac
i companied him in the helicopter.
Crowds broke through the police
lines at the heliport to pat him
on the back.
Before returning to the United
States Sept. 4, he will visit Paris ?
for discussions with President De
Gaulle.
Eisenhower told his news con
ference he believes Adenauer
shares his view that the Khrush
che-Eisenhower talks may “melt
a little of the ice” in the cold war.
