Union Oil Executive Sees
No Expanded Exploration
For Oil In Alaska
SEATTLE, UP)—Alaska oil ex
poration work will be expanded
but drilling will continue on
about the present schedule, board
chairman Reese H. Taylor of the
Union Oil Co., predicted Saturday.
“Alaska is such a big place that
it requires a lot of exploration,”
Taylor said.
He added his company’s explor
ations in Alaska will continue, al
though he described production
from the only operating wells in
the Kenai Peninsula as “discour
aging.”
Taylor was with Union Oil dir
ectors and officers, traveling in
two company planes, enroute to
fly over northern British Colum
bia and Alberta.
Taylor said Alberta’s oil out
put now is between 7 and 8,000
barrels a day. He said it could
■be much greater except for pro
duction limitations.
Ten Navy Airmen
Plucked from Sea
110 Miles Offshore
SEATTLE, UP> — Ten wet and
weary Navy airmen were plucked
unharmed from the tossing Pacif
ic Ocean early Saturday, nearly
12 hours after they had ditched
their twin-engine patrol plane.
A massive rescue operation
went like clockwork, despite foul
weather, darkness, fog and the
fliers’ position—110 miles off the
mouth of the Columbia River.
The ten, crammed into a pair
of well-outfitted rubber liferafts,
were pulled to safety aboard the
Coast Guard Cutter Yocona from
Astoria, Ore. The freighter Olym
pic Pioneer had reached the scene
only moments before and stood by
as the men were hauled from the
sea.
Hovering above were four Navy
and Coast Guard planes, their
powerful searchlights cutting thru
a heavy overcast onto the drama
unfolding below.
Rescue operations moved into
full speed as soon as the P5M
patrol plane radioed an SOS that
one of its two engines was afire.
The craft, a Marline, was on a
routine coastal patrol from the
Whidbey Island Naval Air Sta
tion.
The plane steadily lost altitude
as its pilot fought desperately to
make it to land. He finally sent
word he had to ditch, radioed his
position and the craft slapped
down.
It remained afloat lorrg enough
for the men to clamber aboard the
rafts, which are equipped with
food, water, radios, flares, radar
reflectors, paddles and foul wea
ther canopies.
The downed men radioed at one
time they were okay. “We’re wet,
that’s all,” they told the aircraft
circling above them.

Prime Minister of Ceylon
Shot to Death by Assassin
COLOMBO, Ceylon, —Prime
Minister Solomon Bandaranaike,
60, died Saturday from an assas
sin’s bullet.
The frail champion of Asian
neutralism succumbed almost on
the eve of a visit to the United
States, which only a few months
ago he termed Asia’s best friend.
British-educated Bandaranaike
failed to survive a five-hour op
eration to remove three bullets
which pierced his liver, spleen
and arm.
The assassin was shot by a sen
try while trying to flee and was
captured.

Payment Loans to Help
Underdeveloped Nations

Eisenhower today called for the
creation of a billion-dollar inter
