Oil Bids Received SBfSLi
J®|L_„
Baton Rouge, La., Feb. 25
(XI — Tha notion’s oil com-
panies bid 286 million dollars
yesterday for oil leases on
submerged lands off the Lou-
isiana and Texas ceasta.
The bids Wffe record-
smaahert and astonished even
the manager of the US Bureau
of Land Management office
at Baton Rouge — John Ren-
kin. He had predicted earlier
the bids might reach 200 mil-
lion dollars but qualified his
estimate a few minutes lster
snd scaled it downwsrd.
Louisiana submerged lands,
involving 200 tracts campris-
ing one and one half million
acres, brought an aggregate
bid of over 240 million dol-
lars.
The 97 tracts up for 6-
yoar leases off Texas brought
over 86 million dollars.
Most of tho land up for bid
is the area involved in a dis-
pute between the states anu
the federal government. The
issue of tho lands’ ownership
is still before the federal
courts and all money received
from lueses is put in escrow
until the eourts reach a deci-
sion.
Shell Oil Company entered
the most bids and Gulf Oil
Corporation and Socony Mo-
bile submitted the highest bid
for a single tract — over elev-
en million dollars for an area
off the Louisiana coast. Gulf
and Socony Mobil bid togeth-
the av-
92,000 per
had set a minimum bid of 16
dollars an acre.
Gulf Oil Corporation offer-
ed 91,052.08 per acre for
2,880 acres of block 28S of the
Galveston area, which was the
largest per acre bid.

ly 0 million dollars, or 91,026.-
25, for 6,700 acres in block
288 of the Galveston area.
Rescued Texan
RecaUsThoughls
During Ordeal
i
Honolulu, Feb. 26 UP — A
young Texas Marine who clung
for 30 hours to a sheer lava
cliff in Hawaii said he thought
about a big, juicy steak and a
warm bed during his ordeal.
Marine PFC Roy Kocurek of
La Grange was 200 feet from
the cliff’s bottom, unable to
climb up or down. Kocurek be-
came trapped Sunday while on
a hike with a companion who
scrambled to safety and sum-
moned aid.
An Army rescue team lower-
ed Kocurek to safety Tuesday.
Kocurek says he was afraid
to doze off because he knew if
he did he would end up dead.
So ne whistled during the night
on the ledge to keep awake and
his commanding officer kept
hollering up to him to keep
him from dozing.
Kocurek said yesterday: “It
really wasn’t too rough, except
for not being able to sleep and
being hungry and cold and
wet.”
Kocurek seemingly suffered
no ill effects. After being res-
cued he ate a big steak, then
went to sleep at a naval dispen-
sary.
Mystery Sub
Hunt Ends
Six Suspended
From School
San Antonio, Feb. 25 (XI —
Six students have received in
definite suspensions from San
Antonio’s Edison High School
as a result of a free-for-all in
the school cafeteria Tuesday.
Vice Principal W. W. Few
made the announcement last
night.
Two athletes — Gary Black
and Dennis Richards, both 18
were treated and released at
San Antonio hospital. They
received stab wounds in the
lunch-hour battle involving 10

Buenos Aires, Feb. 25 IX) —
The hunt for a mystery sub-
marine in the Golfo Nuevo —
if submarine it was — has
ended without proof a sub-
marine ever was there.
Navy Secretary G a s t o n
Clement told newsmen
Wednesday night after a
meeting with President Fron-
dizi that the day and night
operations in the gulf on the
south coast of Argentina had
been called off because no
contact had been made with
the mystery craft in recent
days.
Navy ships reported on Jan.
3 they had detected a submar-
ine, obviously foreign, in the
gulf, which has an Argentine
naval base at its head. Extra
ships and patrol planes were
rushed down, carried on an
intensive hunt, and dropped
many depth charges.
Despite widespread local
skepticism, the navy insisted
a foreign sub was in the gulf
and said it had been damaged
by the depth charge attacks.
Several times Clement predict-
ed capture seas imminent. At
one time navy sources said a
2nd, undamaged sub had slip-
ped into the gulf to divert the
pursuers from the crippled
craft.
The navy complained that
its outmoded depth charges
exploded before they reached
the bottom of the guif, and
the US Navy flew down deep-
water bombs and other mod-
ern equipment. The Amrican
navy aim sent down a team
of 13 antisubmarine warfare
experts to advise the Argen-
tinians.
The United States, Britain,
Russia and other nation? de-
nied that any of their subs
were operating hi Argentine
waters.

Robber Draws
30-Year Term
Dallas, Feb. 26 (XI — A Fort
Wofth hoodlum — J. A. A vary,
Jr., — drew i 25-year prison
term for hijacking a Dallas
pharmacy last November.
„ Avery, who is 29, was con-
victed by a jury that deliber-
ated about three hours.
Immediately after Avery was
sentenced, he apologized to
newsmen for the battle of
scowls he waged against them
yesterday and particularly to a
TV cameraman he threatened
to bean with a water glass. Al-
so, Avery said District Judge
Henry King of Dallas gave him
a fair trial.
In Fort Worth, District At-
torney Doug Couch wants to
bring Avery to trial on five
habitual criminal indictments.
Conviction on any of them
could mean life in prison for
the ex-convict.
BY LEO ANAVI
Washington, Feb. 25 (XI
President Nasser of the United
Arab Republic and Premier
Kassim of Iraq are at it again.
The barrage of words contin-
ues. Nasser is boasting of his
measures against Arab Com-
munists and charging that Kas-
sim is protecting them.
The sharpest attack of the
United Arab leader against
Communists came the day be-
fore yesterday when he called
them vile enemies of the Arab
nation. Nasser has been on a
tour of Syria, ostensibly to cel-
ebrate the anniversary of the
union between Egypt and Syria.
Some observers have called it a
fence-mending mission because
of signs of restiveness. Appar-
ently, the Egyptian is still the
idol of the Syriart masses.
But why is Nasser going in
for speeches that are sure to
antagonize the Kremlin? He
was warned not long ago by
none other than Soviet Premier
Khrushchev. There was a patch-
up of sorts followed by a So-
viet commitment to help build
the Aswan power project on
the upper Nile.
The Russians are quite cap-
able of reversing their field, by
the way. They have a certain
hold on Nasser. They have been
supplying him with arms, for
one thing. For another, they
have backed him in his many
argument with Israel. The
Soviet Union—a maritime na-
tion — has not objected to the
denial of Suez Canal' passage
to Israeli cargoes.
Yet another hold they have
on Nasser is over Syria. It
would be quite easy for the
Russians to forment trouble in
Syria against continued union
with Egypt. Communists fled
Syria after it marged with
Egypt in 1958. Red leader Bak-
dash is said to be in Bulgaria,
Sofia, with ample funds at his
disposal, funds which would go
to feed underground agents in
Syria.
It may very well be that
Iraq’s Kassim has unwillingly
stepped into an intrigue of
sorts. He readily conceded a
couple of days ago that he has
been striving to crush what he
called Nasser's one-man rule
over Syria.
This came in a 8-hour speech
before a congress t of Iraqi
teachers. In that speech Kas-
sim called Nasser a liar. He
said in part: “We are striving
today for Syria. We are trying
to restore human rights and
rule by group to the Syrian
people.
These are strong words. It
is suspected in some quarters
that the Iraqi leader has been
nudged by the Kremlin a little.
He is not exactly a prisoner of
the Soviet Union, but his rule
would be in jeopardy if the
Russians decided that he had
to go.
The whole business has a
stage-like, make-believe, quali-
ty, but it may be much more
serious than some believe.
There would be no feud be-
tween Nasser and Kassim if
the Russians did not want
thing* to be that way. It may
be reasoned therefore that
they have found it profitable
to feed certain firea.
The situation will bear
Watching. There may be some-
thing of a nimble developing
in the area. The signs keep
pointing in that direction.
Stolen Truck
Driver Nabbed
Dallas, Feb. 26 (XI — A Fort
Worth man was arrested by
Dallas polies today who said
he was driving a stolen truck
loaded with 25,000 pounds of
ateel beams.
Detective Roy Standifer said
the truck was stolen last night
from the Friedman Pipe and
Steel Company in Fort Worth.
The detective said the man
told him he had become roaring
drank in Fort Worth and de-
cided he wanted to fe ‘to
Dallas.
“I don’t know how I got
here,” the man said in Dallas.
“I don’t even know how to
drive a truck.”
TO AN EXTREME — Ari-
zona state Senator Hi Cor-*
bett, the only Republican in
the Arizona Senate, can
barely squeeze into his of-
fice in the new Senate wing
in Phoenix. Corbett believes
his four-foot by four-foot
quarters are carrying Re-
publicanism and conserva-
tism to an extreme. Actu-
ally the architect made a
mistake and the builder
didn’t bother to correct it.
