SAYS OIL RETRIEVER INVENTOR
Engineers apparently
misunderstood tool
Approximately 14 per cent oil is
befog pumped from a “dead” well
fix miles northwest of Levelland
in which a new oil production tool
is undergoing testing.
W. H. Walker ol Portales, inven-
tor of the new tool, said Thursday
afternoon that oil recovery from
the well within the parft week has
ranged as high as 27 per cent
through the use of his oil, gas
and water retriver.
The well is pumping about 30
barrels of fluid per day, Walker
said.
He also said that engineers quot-
ed in Wednesday’s Levelland Daily
Son News as saying that the in-
vention would not work apparently
misunderstood the use of his tool.
Walker stated that the engineers
seemingly think the retriver is set
in the top of the well casing to
recover oil which comes up through
the tubing on top of water.
The inventor said, however, that
the tool is designed to work in
the well perforations. That is where
the retriever currently is located in
the well in which it is being used
for the first time.
Walker added that the tool can
be used in the top of the casing
if desired.
Walker said the separation of oil
and water which he claims for his
invention takes place in the bottom
of the well, with only the oil com-
ing to the surface and the water
staying in the hole.
That was his answer to a state-
ment by another engineer that the
oil is moved through the forma-
tion only by hydrostatic pressure
as water is produced.
The Portales man said he has
been told numerous times that the
tool will not work, but it is.
He admits that the principle in-
volved in his tool is the reverse
of the concept under which petrol-
eum engineers have been working
for years.
Walker says he can understand
that eingineers might not be able
to see the theory of his retriever,
because "they haven’t had time to
study it.” Walker said he has spent
10 years in the development of the
tool.
Walker takes issue with one en-
gineer’s statement in the Daily
Sun News story that the oil indus-
try already has equipment that will
do what is claimed for his device.
The inventor says he has talked
with many engineers and produc-
tion workers and he has never
heard of any other such equipment.
Walker said he would welcome
anyone to come to his test site
and observe the operation of the
well.
Walker said oil is being produc-
ed from a well which had been
shut down for several months be-
cause present equipment could not
bring up the oil in it.
He said the well pump will have
to be slowed to take only the a-
mount of oil which will fill the
casing in order to prevent pump-
ing water.

there are so many tools and gad-
gets, I know so little about the
nature of his business it makes me
wonder (now I’m back where I
started). Tom opened the back

RESULTS
I called on Bob Harral at Hig-
ginbotham Bartlett Co. about 8
a.m.. Wednesday and found him
out for coffee. I waited about fif-
teen minutes and he came in.
While I was waiting I saw Lynn
Shannon (an employee) sell a La-
tin - American fifteen (15) cotton
chopping hoes. A lady came in for
paint; a man for bolts and the traf-
fic looked like butter and egg day
in my ol’ home town. The new
building under construction north of
the city hall is being built for Hig-
ginbotham Bartlett Co. for a ware-
house..
I told Bob the way he was sell-
ing merchandise, I thought per-
haps the building was being con-
structed to put his money in. . .

o2 thing, some of us are pretty
close to kibbering idiots anyway. At
least we’ve lost some self confi-
dence. We’ve found out we can
fail, that we don’t always do
what the conscious mind tells us,
but what we feel. And mostly we
feel afraid.
V°0?
A psychiatrist ‘Can’ help Sffrne
of us. A medical hypnotist can
put the conscious mind to
sleep, dig down in the hidden
chasms of the past and help us
look at some of those silly
fears and eliminate them.
Or he ran fill your niintl with
figures (numerals, silly) which
you’ll remember when you
wake up, or tell you to do
something which you will do la-
ter (something your con-
science would let you do any-
way) without knowing why.
oOo
You can learn to be self confi-
dent with either of your minds it
seems. But the man who spoke to
the Brownfield Kiwanis Club said
that he deals directly with the sub-
conscious mind and that he can do
all of those things we mentioned—
help you to diet, break the smoke
or drink habit, eliminate stuttering,
or condition you to where you
can save money.
He’s the man who sells nocturnal
education — records which direct
little messages to your subcon-
scious while you Snore. It all
sounded real, real good.
Except he didn't offer a thing
for a large group of tormented
souls — those of us who have in-
somnia.

said, one of the men kicked her
in the side. ’
She estimated they drove most
of the time since Wednesday. At
times she heard what sounded
like coins dropping into automatic
toll road gates, she said.
Miss Hart said the men drove
almost continuously until some-
time Thursday when the car
pulled into a driveway. She was
shoved up several steps into what
she found to be a bathroom, the
young woman said.
About two hours later, Miss
Hart said, she heard the men con-
versing. “Ed we’re going to get a
lof of money out of this,” she
quoted one.
"We gotta get rid of her, Ed,
she’s too hot,” one was quoted as
saying a few minutes later. She
reported one of the men then en-
tered her bathroom prison and
said:
“My friend is chicken. We gotta
get rid of you.”
Still later — she didn’t remem-
ber exactly how long—the two
men put her in the car once again
and drove for about two hours.
Miss Hart said she was shoved
from the auto by one of the men
who snarled:
"Don’t turn around or look
back. I've got a gun and I’ll kill
you."
At first she told Lt. Charles
Pierson she was tossed into the
bathroom "a few hours" after be-
ing abducted from the airport in
Newark. But as she regained her
composure, she related a more co-
herent account.
She refused medical attention
and declined to be examined,
pending arrival of her father.
Ralph, from the family’s Short
Hills, N.J., home. She told officers
and a police matron she had not
been molested sexually. Her grey
sheath dress was not torn or dis-
arranged.
A diamond brooch, her engage-
ment ring from Gaines and all
identification had been taken by
the time she wandered into the
police car.
Police gave her a cup of coffee
and two aspirin tablets, and she
slept briefly.
• Police said bruises across her
upper arms could have been
caused by her manhandling cap-
tors or bv the rags which were
used to bind her for the two-day
period.
Miss Hart spoke briefly and sob-
bingly by telephone with her fath-
er, who told Lt. Pierson emphatic-
ally. "That’s my daughter."
Miss Hart,” who carried only $5
in her purse when she was found,
told Pierson she remembered the
two men talking about a lot of
stops because of tollways.
But she gave neither police nor
FBI investigator, who was imme-
diately called in, any description
of either man.

main thing is that we want to put
an end to bases on foreign lands.
This is the main thing.
“I repeat until that happens we
will speak different political lan-
guages The one that is for put-
ting an end to bases on foreign
land is for peace. The one who
is against this is for war.”
After the spirited exchange at
the exhibition grounds, Nixon was
Khrushchev’s guest at a luncheon
in the Kremlin.
Nixon and Khrushchev had met
in the Kremlin earlier this morn-
ing for the first time since Nix-
on’s arrival Thursday. The atmos-
phere was warm in contrast to
the chilly reception on Nixon’s ar-
rival.
Nixon stood toe - to - toe with
Khrushchev batting back his ar-
guments one by one. At the end
Nixon apologized for being “a
poor host at the exposition and al-
lowing a ceremonial visit to turn
into hot foreign policy discussions.
"My main point is that in to-
day’s world,” Nixon said, “it is
immaterial which of these two
great countries at a particular
moment has an advantage. Any
advantage in the next war is il-
lusory.”
Khrushchev apologized for
speaking so frankly to Nixon. But
Nixon, recalling some of his po-
litocal campaigns, told their in-
terpreter :
"Tell him I have been insulted
by experts.”
Photographers and reporters
were allowed in for the first part
of the morning meeting between
Nixon and Khrushchev in the
Kremlin. Nixon handed the Soviet
premier a letter of greeting from
President Eisenhower.
After the visit the two left at
once for a joint inspection of the
U.S. exhibition Nixon will open
later in the day. There they got
into an amiable but firm argu-
ment on press freedom.
Shortly before their arrival,
Soviet officials arrived at the ex-
hibition and threw out books they
considered objectionable in the
American library.
It was not known' whether
Khrushchev brought up with Nix-
on the question of U.S. observ-
ance of "Captive Nations’ Week.”
This had brought an angry out-'
burst from the Soviet premier at
a public Polish friendship met-
ing Thursday as Nixon was ar-
riving.
After being informed of Nixon’s
arrival, Khrushchev got up from
his chair at the Polish rally and
invited Nixon to come see a group
of "enslaved people,” the subject
of “Captive Nation’s Week.”
But the weather was warm to-
day and evidently the meeting in
the Kremlin was warm. It is ex-
pected there will be a prolonged
sesion betwen the two men Sat-
urday.
Nixon apparently is prepared to
give the whole day to talks with
Khrushchev in the latter’s dacha
on the outskirts of Moscow.
Before meeting with Khrush-
chev, Nixon caled on President
Klementi Voroshilov. Normally
talks with Voroshilov are largely
protocol since he has almost noth-
ing to do with the administration
of the country. .
As photographers and newsmen
were ushered in ahead of Nixon
for his meeting with Khrushchev,
they found the premier back of
his desk wearing a light grey
summer suit. He was pacing up
and down with his hands clasped
behind him.

to the Weather Bureau.
Crops, boats, trees and televi-

the series pf storms that whipped
across the state Thursday night.
Electric power was disrupted in
sections of Dallas and Fort Worth.
High winds and rains of up to
three inches in the Garza-Little
Elm Reservoir area sent one cab-
in cruiser onto the rocks and
forced owners of other craft to
take them to shelter.
A rash of auto accidents snarled
traffic as a 1.70-inch rain hit Dal-
las and made streets slick.
The Fort Worth suburbs of Dido
and Azle had a bad time of it
from hail, wind and blowing rain.
Dido lost its power supply for a
time when winds estimated at 60
miles an hour hit the area north
of Fort Worth.
Before her disappearance, she

Talks held
in secret
on truce
\
By JOHN M. HIGHTOWER ’
GENEVA (AP) — Soviet and
Western foreign ministers began
discussing the terms of a possible
Berlin truce agreement in a se-
cret session of the Big Four con-
ference today, but Western infon*
mants said they made no
progress.
This was the first time since
the second phase of the confer*
ence started two weeks ago that
the Soviet Union's Andrei Gro-
myko had been willing to engage
in an exchange of views on the
problems directly involved in a
truce, instead of insisting on prior-
ity for his proposal for creatfcfi
of an all-German committee t~~
Nevertheless, American officials
said this progress in the procedure
of the conference does not mean
a thing, because Gromyko Still in-
sists the West would have to ac-
cept his committee proposal in
some form before he would make
a firm agreement to suspend the
Soviet threat to West Berlin.
The Western foreign ministers
went into secret session under
pressure from Britain to salvage
a summit conference if possible
from the wobbling Big Four for-
eign ministers conference. They
met at the villa of U.S. Secretary
of State Christian A. Herter.
British Foreign Secretary Sel-
wyn Lloyd’s strategy was to try
to get Gromyko to abandon his in-
sistence on greater recognition for
Communist East Germany. Then
the ministers could concentrate on
an agreement to end the Soviet
threat to West Berlin.

of an airport near the county seat.
However, the minutes show that
on March 24, 1945, the action was
unanimously rescinded when the
court received notification from
the state attorney general that the
county was without legal authority
and power to carry out the agree-
ment.
Then, in minutes dated Dec. 19,
1949, the court unanimously approv-
ed a resolution that the city of
Levelland was interested in the air-

airport on a 50-50 basis and in

from Mr. and Mrs. R. D. McDon-

acres at a cost of $8,637.

Twice before the House knocked
out a proposed $50 deductible sales
tax.
Approval of the 114 per cent
pipelines tax came after a 75-71
defeat of a similar tax feature,
supported by Gov. Price Daniel,
to levy cent (5 mill*) per
1,000 cubic feet on natural gas.
"The governor and his people
have misled or attempted fo mis-
lead the House, the press and the
people of this state. He has never
said how hard this tax will hit in-
dustry,” Rep. Bill Woolsey, Corpus
Christi, argued against the pipe-
lines tax.
