A heart attack ended the life and political career of Sen. Patrick McCarran of Nevada, the undisputed leader in the western state. The 78-yearold Senator, coauthor ot the McOarran-Walter immigration act and advocate of legalised gambling in Nevada dropped dead after making a speech before a Democratic rally in Hawthorne. The aged Senator and rugged individualist was a controversial member of the senate and frequently differed with the" last two Democrat presidents. His successor win more titan likely be a Republican, the governor of the state who will appoint being of that party. Should the appointment follow party lines, both senators from Nevada will be Republican and change the line-up in the senate in favor of the national administration. The veteran senator a few days ago issued a statement in favor of Sen. Joseph McCarthy and criticised the committee for recommending censure of the Wiscouin leader. 0 0— Will He Succeed:— Secretary of State Dulles made the American position on the defense ot Europe quit* plain. He told the London conference that Americans “cannot afford to gamble" their safety aad survival on defense programs which fail to guarantee genuine security. In effect this was notice to France that before we commit ourselves so any alternative plan to EDC we will have to know that it will work, will have French support, and will include participation of West German troops. France is important to any scheme to defend Europe, But if" the French continue to resist any plan to re-arm Germany than Britain and the United States will have to do whatever they can without her. The idea of a European Defense Community was originally proposed by France. In the time that passed since it was proposed, however, sentiment in France has changed. Thus the United States, which was heavily committed to the plan was left high and dry by ' the French decision to reject tlTe idea. Secretary Dulles evidently is trying to avert another failure in international relations.

Modern Comforts For Oil Drilling Tender Carries All Os Modern Comforts HOUSTON, Tex., (INS) — Drilling for oil in the Gulf of Mexico, off the shores of Texas and Louisiana might be likened in the oil industry to the pld gray mare which “ain't what she used to be.” The veteran of oil field heydey of yesteryear will agree as he looks at the J. C. Craig, an ultramodern, new drilling tender recently put into use in off-shore petroleum operations. The craft, the only one of its kind yet completed is designed and has facilities to provide the utmost comfort for all workmen, and is a far step from the rough and tumble conditions of oil prospecting of a generation ago. First Built The J. C. Craig is the first of two $1,600,060 drilling tenders to be built by the Lovingston Shipbuilding Company at Orange, Tex., for an off-shore venture organisation known as (he CATC group. Members ot the group, each holding a 25 percent interest in the tenders, are Continental Oil Company, or “Conoco" as it is better nkown, Atlantic Refining Company, Tidewater Associated OU Company and the Cities Service Company. Conoco is operator for the organisation. The J. G. Craig is the first vessel of its kind to be completed in Texas. It is named after the production superintendent of Conoco's marine division. Designed by Conoco engineers, the no-self propelled tender is 266 feet long, 54 feet wide and weighs 2,905 tons. It provides air-conditioned living quarters, recreation and gaily facilities for 48 men. Each room is equipped with a thermostat for temperature control. Life aboard the ship will be just like home for crew members. Besides recreation, dining and bunk rooms, the J. C. Craig has laundry and radio rooms, the latter equipped with FM radio for shfp-to-sbore communication. Workmen on the vessel will have television, writing and card tables, a game room and the latest appliances, including an electric washer, dryer, cooking units and a walkin food freezer. The J. C. Craig, the latest and heaviest of off-shore drilling tenders yet constructed, was built under the rigid inspection of the U. S. Bureau of Shipping, U. S. Coast Guard and U. S. Public Health 1 -.>m v >■’•.»« '• Safety features include two 25man lifeboats and a carbon dioxide fire-fighting system throughout the ship. The vessel will be used first in an exploratory test in the West Delta area ot Louisiana in conjunction with one of the CATC’s tender-type drilling platforms. Crews will have 12-hour shifts with 12 hours off, and will work two-week tours with one week off. A sharp weather eye will be maintained all the time. Atmospheric disturbances will be watched closely, and If there are indications of hurricanes • sweeping the waters near the location of the tender it will be towed hurriedly to the safest spot available as it and the men are too valuable to be risked In open areas. When danger is passed it will be returned to the well for drilling to continue.

Venezuela Business Reported Booming - Business Boom Is On In Venezuela CARACAS, Venezuela. (INS) — Business is booming in Venezuela and North Americans who are engaged in private enterprise in that country are enthusiastic over its present and future prospects. The bustling city of Caracas, Venezia'* capital, Is growing by leaps and bounds. Caracas’ population today is 650,000 and is expected to reach 1.000,000 within five years. Along .with other great construction projects that have sprung up. there has arisen a new and beautiful hotel in Caracas — the luxurious Tamanaco. which rivals any hostelry in the United States. Edward iJ. Moran, Jr., former President of the American Chamber of Commerce, and ex-president of the American Club, took me on an eye-opening tour of the city. * Vast Resources New buildings and beautiful homes are sprouting up on qll sides. The city is spreading out and the authorities are striving Vo ■ - CT . t

remove all signs ot poverty, including the elimination of “squatters" from the hill sides. Venezuela's wealth revolves around its tremendous oil resources and United States capital, working freely in the country, is making tremendous progress in making it one of the liveliest, moat enterprising nation s in all LatinAmerica. You can buy anything in Caracas that you can buy in New York, from a soft drink to the latest model automobile. It has its boulevards, modern office buildings, cocktail lounges, night spots and country clubs. It has a luxurious Venezuelan officers’ club, reputed to have cost $10,000,000, that is swankiek than any military establishment in the United States. "Venezuela has a tremendous future,” said Moran, a construction man, formerly of Brooklyn, who has directed some of the most important building projects in Venezuela for the Venezuelan government. oil companies, American manufacturers and private enterprises. "We have no exchange restrictions here in Venezuela. United States business men can take out of the country all the dollars they can make. They enjoy the finest cooperation from the Venezuelan jgoygfnment and it,, wqyk, both

Naturally, with business flourishing and the standard of living improving, there is no communism in Venezuela. “There hasn't been a bank failure in the history of the country.* The 54-year-old Moran is well qualified to make observations from the United States viewpoint Brooklyn born, he spent 12 years in the New York state legislature, from 1927 to 1988. During the war he helped build U. S. army bases in the Caribbean for the George F. Driscoll company of New York and Washington, D. C. He now represents that concern in Venezuela. On my tour of Caracas with Moren, he showed me the skyscraper Creole office building which his company is constructing for the Standard Oil of Now Jersey It resembles the United Nations building in New York and Is the last word in modernity. . Modern City Everything in Caracas is “going modern." The old Spanish-type architecture is on the wane and is being supplanted by the American motif in buUding. Caracas keeps abreast of the times. The city has nine newspapers, five radio stations and three television stations. The newspapers are El Universal, which sells for 15 cents. La Esfera, El Heraldo, La Calle, Ultimas Nqticias, all dailies; Caracas Journal (twice a week in English); Morocoy Azul, a weekly satirical publication. El Pais, a radical weekly, and La Religion, a weekly which comes out on Friday and gives selections for the races on Saturday and Sunday. The radio stations are La Vox di la Patria (The Voice of the People), Radio Caracas, Radio Continents, Radiodifusora Venezuela, which has a nation-wide hookup, and Radio Liberatodor. TV is in its infancy in Venezuela. The receptions to the programs emanating from Caracas, however, are all clear. The demand for television sets is increasing. It is figured that TV in Venezuela will be going real good, with top notch programs, in about two years. e■, 20 Tears Ago Today .. ■ • Sept. 30, 1934 was Sunday. if you have something to sell or rooms for rent, try a Democrat Want Ad.
