far as their records show.
Levelland was also fortunate
in the line of automobile acci-

FIRST STEP TO AID— Whit-
ney M. Young, director of the
National Urban League charged
that the poverty office has creat-
ed the impression that a riot
is a necessary first step for a
poverty stricken area to obtain
federal aid. It does seem that
poverty money flows into the
most bellicose areas.
SOME GREAT SOCIETY GOOFS
The magazine, Nation’s Busi-
ness, in its May 1967, issue
tells a tale of how the non-
planners in the Great Society
go about being nice to just about
everybody. The story involves
an attempt by the Bureau of
Indian Affairs to bring the peo-
ple of toe Quinault tribe into toe
20th century. . . .
The Quinaults live in the lush
Olympic Penninsula area of toe
State of Washington. They make
their living by fishing.
According to the magazine
account, the Bureau deckled to
spend $200,000 to build 20
houses for 20 families. The
houses would, the bureau felt
sure, be toe pride of the neigh-
borhood and the envy of all.
So they set about it last fall.
And by. February toe first of the
houses were complete. They
were designed for gracious liv-
ing, the magazine account said.

More than $44.0 million a
year of economic stimulation j
for Hockley County flows from
its oil and gas wells each year,
an annual study by Texas Mid- I
Continent Oil & Gas Association
showed today.
“As one at toe 206 producing
counties in Texas, Hockley Cou-
nty’s economy is sensitive to
fluctuations in toe oil industry
generally,” commented W.A.
Landreto, Fort Worth, Associa-
tion president “Long range,
toe demand for oil looks strong
and current production rates
continue to provide Texas a ma-
jor source of its income. On
the other hand, Texas operators
are beset by competition from o-
toer oil producing areas,
government ceilings on natural
gas prices, heavy tax payments
and a price for crude oil that
is insufficient to encourage the
amount of exploratory drilling
that is needed to find future
reserves.”
Based on latest U.S. Bureau
of Mines production figures, Ho-
ckley County in 1965 produced
13.6 million barrels of crude
oil, valued at $40.1 million and
29 8 billion cubic feet of natural
gas for liquids such as natural
gasoline, butane and propane in
1965 produced more than 100.3
million gallons of liquids valued
at $4.8 million.
A major distribution of in- i
come from sales of oil and gas
went to county landowners In
royalty payments totaling more :
than $^.5 million. *
In 1966, a year that saw
drilling in Texas fall to its low- j
est level since 1947, oil and gas
operators drilled 83 wells in
Hockley County. Of these 10
were wildcats seeking new
fields.
The Association estimated
that operators in toe county
gpont more than $i .5 million
in drilling last year, of which
$2.3 million was lost in dry
holes.
Sharing heavily In toe coun-
ty’s production each year is the
State Treasury, which received

Rates To
Go Down
WASHINGTON (JJPI) —
American Telephone & Tele-
graph Corp. is under federal
orders to cut interstate tele-
phone rates by $120 million but
the impact on the average
individual phone bill won’t be
known for months.
The Federal Communicat-
ions Commission (FCC), which
ordered the reductions Wednes-
day, gave AT&T until Sept. 1
to determine how the rates—and
thus the charges to individuals
—will be changed.
The cuts and a determination
that AT&T should earn a return
of from 7 to 7.5 per cent on its
investment in interstate service
were the first tangible results at
a 20-monto FCC inquiry into the
company.
The company found the or-
ders “disappointing” and said
it reduced its earnings “to
levels considerably below those
actually achieved over toe past
eight years.”
In a statement, AT&T said
