There was a lot of fire and ac-
tion at the refinery’s fire training
grounds on Thursday morning of

Channel Industries Mutual Aid
organization gathered for their
annual drill in handling emer-
gency procedures.
Some 15 different firefighting
and emergency groups from the
CIMA organization staged 20
demonstrations of handling situ-
ations which ranged from lank
fires to rescue by helicopter.
Attending the drill were ap-
proximately 300 people from in-
dustries and other organizations
located in the Houston Ship
Channel area. Some 35 of the 44

Refinery M & C Now
Has New Department
Because of the known increase
in work load during the con-
struction phase of the Hydro-
cracker, Pipe Still No. 7, the ex-
pansion of Phenol Plant No. 2,
the modernization of FCCU No.
3, and other construction proj-
ects, the supervisory group per-
forming this contract adminis-
tration work will function as
a separate department. IL R.
Warne, formerly department
head of the Specialties Zone, will
be head of the new department.
Formerly, administration of
mechanical work contracted to
and performed by outside con-
cerns has been a function of the
Turnaround and Construction
Zone in M & C.
E. T. Davis and IL 6. While,
mechanical supervisors, will re-
port to Warne. The organiza-
tional make-up of the new de-
partment will be announced as
it is developed.
H. N. Black will replace Warne
as department head of the Spe-
cialties Zone.

sumer taxes and other payments

For the same period in 1964,
such payments totaled $2,940,-
000,000.

plant and equipment by l he
consolidated companies totaled
§639,000,000 for the first nine

new record levels achieved in all
operating activities, including a
7.5 per cent rise in petroleum

ery runs by Jersey afliliates
worldwide averaged 3,890,000
barrels daily, an increase of 8.8

drill chairman this year, assisted
by Jim Boyd, refinery fire chief.

Earnings of the Standard Oil
Company (New Jersey) and its
affiliates worldwide for the nine
months ending September 30
were estimated at §3.57 per share
based on the average of 215,568,-
000 shares outstanding. M. L.
Haider, chairman of the board,
said that this was a decrease of
3.8 per cent from the §3.71 per
share reported for the same
period last year.
Indicated profits for the third
quarter were §1.23 per share,
essentially unchanged from the
§1.22 a share for the same
quarter a year ago. Results for
the current third quarter rep-
resented an improvement over
the trend reported for the first
half which felt the full impact of
depressed prices in Europe that
carried over from I he second
half of last year.
Mr. Haider went on to say
that there has been evidence of
a recent strengthening in prices
for distillates and fuel oils in
many of our important European
markets. Also encouraging, he
