Some Utterly
Fantastic Ideas
About Money
WASHINGTON UP> — Som<
Americans have utterly fantasth
ideas about what their monej
should look like and how th<
glue on postage stamps shoulc
taste, says the man in charge o:
printing stamps and bills.
Director H. J. Holtzclaw of th<
Bureau o* Printing and Engrav
ing told a House Appropriation!
Subcommittee some of his trouble:
in closed-door testimony mad<
public yesterday.
He told the congressmen it i:
frightening to think about pro
posals that bills of different de
nominations be printed in differen
colors.
He said he has been called “ai
atheist, a Communist and a labo
agitator” for nixing demands tha
patriotic slogans, portraits — anc
even the Gettysburg Address—b<
printed on bills.
Postage stamp lickers frequent
ly have proposed that the Bureai
produce stamps with glue flavor:
ranging from maple syrup t<
strawberry, he said.
“The citrus fruit industry ir
California took the matter serious
ly and plagued us for a long tim<
to make the flavor like an orang<
or a grapefruit or a tangerine,'
he said.
Holtzclaw said he is sticking t(
a vegeiaDie-Dasea stamp gum tna
is “as nearly odorless and taste
less as possible.”
Other money matters covered ir
a batch of testimony made public
Silver dollars, which haven’'
been minted in 27 years, are be
coming more popular. Coin col
lectors may be hoarding the cart
wheels.
With the population growini
and coin-operated vending ma
chines becoming more popular
the mint is working overtime t<
keep abreast of the demand foj
coins.
Counterfeiting money is easiei
than it used to be. Secret Servici
Chief James Rowley blames “rapic
technological advances in printinj
and simplified reproduction pro
cesses.”
It costs $9.07 to print 1,00(
bills—77 cents less than in 1961

Geologist Who Discovered
Alaska’s First Commercial
Oil Well, Honored In Seattle
SEATTLE UP) — W. C. (Bill
Bishop, the geologist who dis
covered Alaska’s first commercia
oil well, was the guest of hono:
Friday night at the annual Alask;
Night Banquet of the Arctic Club
Special tribute was paid to th<
Alaska gas and oil industry.
Bishop, who flew to SeattL
from his Anchorage headquarters
located the site on the Kena
Peninsula where the rich Swan
son River oil field now exists
After intensive geological survey
which he headed, Bishop selecte<
an area near a tall hemlock tree
designating it as a landmark.
Stepping back from the tree
he spun on his heel, marking th<
ground, and said, “drill here!”
The result was Alaska’s pre
sent petroleum industry whicl
supplies rich crude oil to botl
Puget Sound and California re
fineries via tanker and send:
natural gas to the City of An
chorage.
The Swanson River fields, wit!
some 45 wells, is pretty well ex
plored now, Bishop said, but th(
search for oil elsewhere on th<
Kenai and in many other place!
in Alaska is continuing at th<
greatest rate since oil first wa:
sought in the northland in 1902.
The geological zone in whicl
Richfield first struck oil in th<
No. 1 discovery well now is de
scribed as the “Hemlock Zone” ii
Alaska geology texts in tribute t<
Bishop’s landmark.
