Goldwater Would
Back Rockefeller
By The Associated Press
Senator Barry Goldwater said he
will support Gov. Nelson A. Rock
efeller if the Governor wins the
Republican Presidential nomina
tion. Rockefeller came close to a
parallel pledge but ties in an if.
Rockefeller said his backing
would go to any GOP nominee —
Goldwater included — who runs
on a platform that “realistically
and positively” faces current
problems and future opportunities.
Goldwater said without qualifi
cation, “Yes I would,” when asked
if he would support Rockefeller
if the New Yorker was nominated
at the national convention.
Goldwater said in answer to a
question he didn’t know w’hy
Rockefeller was “reluctant to make
a flat statement of support.
“I haven’t talked to the Gover
nor in several months, now,” Gold
water said.
The two likely contenders for
the GOP nomination spoke Mon
day night in separate interviews
for a television program.
In an interview in U. S. News
and World Report, Rockefeller
again seemed to qualify whether
he would support Goldwater if the
Arizonan is the nominee.
He said it was often difficult to
know where Goldwater stands be
cause “his position on many issues
have been importantly modified
in recent weeks or months.”
But the two did agree they
would prefer any Republican in
the White House to President Ken
nedy.

Alaska Oil Has Great Potential, Say
Industry Chiefs, ‘But W hat Problems!
By The Associated Press
Six years after the discovery of
oil on the Kenai Peninsula, oilmen
view the future of the petroleum
industry in Alaska as hopeful but
fraught with difficulty.
“The Union Oil Company feels
that Alaska has a great potential
as an oil and gas producing state,"
says Charles E. Smith, manager
of the firm’s Natural Gas and Gas
oline Department.
“However, we must admit that j
we are somewhat disappointed that
additional oil fields have not been
discovered. . . . We are not suffi
ciently discouraged to stop all ex
ploratory drilling in the area.’
Smith and other oil company
executives were asked for their
views in a survey by the Associated
Press.
H. R. Warman, president of BP
Exploration Co. (Alaska) Inc, com
mented:
“We feel there is a considerable
future for the oil industry in
Alaska. . . . We are. however, con
scious that there will be many dis
appointments and probable fail
ures, and that many areas of Alas
ka will prove a disappointment to
the oil industry”
Glenn F. Bish, vice president of
domestic production for Marathon
Oil Co., spelled out some of the
problems:
“The remoteness and inaccessi
bility of most of the areas which
oil industry geologists feel might
hold promises. . . .
“(The problem of) building pipe
lines over tundra and mountains
that would have to carry crude oil
in sub-freezing temperatures. . . .
“The swift and strong ocean
tides and currents ... in the Cook
Inlet.”
The first successful oil well in
Alaska was completed in 1902 near
Katalla. Over the next 30 years,
37 wells were drilled in the Ka
talla field, producing 154,000 bar
rels of oil.
Interest in oil languished, but
revived when Richfield discovered
the Swanson River field on the
Kenai Peninsula in 1957. Since
then, the industry has invested
more than $300 million in the
search for more oil and gas. The
Swanson River remains the only
known field in the Kenai-Cook
Inlet area.
Industry journals report oilmen
are hopeful of another major dis
covery on the northern slope of
the Brooks Range in the Arctic.
The Navy discovered oil in the
area during the 1940s, and a num
ber of companies did exploratory
work there this summer.
As for the market, a Richfield
spokesman says:
“Although Alaska itself does not
offer a current market of suffi
cient size to justify a fully inte

grated industry operation ... the
i rapidly expanding energy require
ments of the Pacific Northwest
and California provide an easily
accessible, constantly enlarging
outlet for Alaska crude and per
haps. in the future, natural gas.”
J. C. Bradford, manager of press
relations for the Pure Oil Co., adds:
“It is our feeling here that a^big
market for gas is developing in
Japan, which now uses coal as its
primary fuel. Such a development
could well accelerate the search
for oil and gas in Alaska. . . .
Alaskan gas would be liquified and
transported to Japan in specially
constructed tankers.”
Several oilmen noted the high
cost of operations in Alaska.
C. V. Chatterton, district super
intendent for Standard Oil of
California, Western operations, in
Anchorage, said manpower costs
are 40 to 50 per cent higher than
in the other 48 continental states.
He said costs of drilling and op
erating and the cost of materials
about twice what they are in other
states. Remoteness to oilfield sup
plies and services, transportation
and communications and climate
and terrain lead to the high costs,
Chatterton said.
More than 99 per cent of Alaska's
375 million acres is classified as
public lands. The Alaska Statehood
Act gave the state the right to
select 103 million acres of this
within 25 years. The basic roy
alty on state leases is 12Vi per cent
with a royalty of 5 per cent on
the state lease on which a discovery
well is drilled. The state also gets
90 per cent of the royalty paid
to the federal government on fed
eral leases.
Bish, the Marathon vice presi
dent, summed up the prospects
this way:
“Marathon feels that the oil in
dustry’s continued good economic
health and the future success of
its research are the two principal
keys to the future of the industry
in the state of Alaska.”

Senate Probers Will
Begin Crime Search
WASHINGTON (fl — Chairman
John L. McClellan. D-Ark., an
nounced today the Senate Investi
gations Subcommittee will begin
Tuesday its massive new probe of
“syndicated crime" and the nar
cotics traffic. Atty. Gen. Robert F.
Kennedy will be the leadoff wit
ness.
McClellan still kept under wraps
the date on which another star
witness, the talkative mobster Jo
seph Valachi, is to take the wit
ness stand to describe inner work
ings of a secret criminal organi
zation known to its members as
Cosa Nostra, our thing.
McClellan said the plans call for
an original three weeks of hear
ings. They will deal with crime in
New York, Boston, Chicago, Detroit
and other areas which he did not
specify. He said that the testi
mony would determine whether
later hearings should be held.
Valachi, a New York gangster
now under life sentence for mur
der. has been desrribed as anxious
to testify and publicly put the fin
ger on his former crime bosses in
revenge, he says, because they
have ordered him slain.
Valachi is being held in the Dis
trict of Columbia Jail under tight
security.
