Bishop Murray took as his [theme the two phases of a commu- ‘nlvy chest drive, the economical and |the moral. He pointed cut the vast | economical Benefit to the eommunity | by taking. off the community’s hands | what it might otherwise have to do jand what would seriously overbur- den it. He spoke of the value to the contributor by belng able to make one annual contribution to all nine | organizations instead of nine times for the same group. He pointed out the great moral and | psychalogical value to a community, |and cited instances where the day nursery is the only mother some childrén know for the greater part |of the day and the Visiting Nurses {aid in alleviating the suffering of | those who are ill and afflicted. He told of the work of the Salvation Army, Junior Achievement and other organizations. He advised his hearers to continue |to give the highest moral and psy- |chological value to the drive and | said the economical result would be surprising. The two prize winners and the five who were awarded honorable men- tion in the essay contest were pres- ent. Prizes and congratulations were extended on behalf of the drive by | Rev. Dr. George W.

He declared a doz- en oil companies would have bid on the Wyoming reserve and the govern- ment would have gotten a large sum “right at the start” for the lcase if there had been open competition. Protection Explained Senator Kendrick, democrat, Wyoming, asked about the 50 per cent royaity provisions in the Teapot Dome contract, g “The Mammoth company has it- self protected,” Tarbell repited. “The 50 per cent ia for a 1,000 barrel well. Those fellows will never produce that unless they shoot the sands, and you can't make them do it under the con- | tract. The government will never | get but a one-sixth contract.” Questioned by Senator Spencer, ve. publican, Missouri, Tarbell said he never had any personal knowledge "{I the Teapot Dome eil structure. “I studied the lease and contracts voluntarily,” he sald, “after my at- tention was called to it two years ago, but without any idea of coming before the committes.” The witness gave it as his opinion that there would have been no sub- stantial drainage from the Teapot domse if the oil had been Jeft in the ground.
