Personality In The News
By MARTHA COLE
Associated Press Staff Writer
WASHINGTON W—Earlier this
year, Mrs. Lyndon B. Johnson was
asked about her plans for the fu
ture, and she replied:
“It’s hard enough to get today’s
work done; I’ll let tomorrow take
care of itself. Whatever Lyndon
does, I’ll be happy doing it right
along with him.”
The words paint a portrait of
the small, brunette. 50-year-old
woman who is the new First Lady
of the United States.
She is one who is always there
beside her husband, managing a
household, taking her teen-age
daughters shopping.
“■Beguiling and efficient,” is the
way Adlai Stevenson described
her.
To those who don’t know her,
perhaps the first thing that will be
noticed is her Texas drawl. It’s
unmistakable but has a touch of
softness akin to the South. Her
mother came from Alabama.
But many across the nation al
ready know her, for Mrs. Johnson
rode the campaign trail for the
Kennedy-Johnson ticket in 1960.
Her name, Lady Bird, intrigues

many. Born in Karmack, Tex., Dec.
22, 1912, she was named Claudia
Alta Taylor. But a nursemaid said
she looked just like a lady bird,
and that name stuck. Her close
friends call her Bird.
Those are the first glances at
Lady Bird Johnson.
Back of these — a girl who took
I scholastic honors in high school
1 and earned two degrees from the
University of Texas, a bachelor of
arts and a bachelor of journalism
in 1934 ... a canny business wom
an ... a woman who has spent
most of her married life in the
whirl of politics.
On Nov. 17, 1934, she and Lyn
don B. Johnson were married, and
three years later she started know
ing the life of the wife of a public
official when he came to Congress.

Oil is $300 Million
Alaska Industry
| J
In response to questions put to
him by Senator Gruening, who is
chairman of the Subcommittee on
Minerals, Materials and Fuels of
the Interior and Insural Affairs
Committee, Alaska Mines and
Minerals Director James A. Wil
liams last week disclosed that the
petroleum industry has spent an
estimated $300 million in Alaska
to date. Expenditures were $31
milion in 1959. $38 million in 1960,
$42 million in 1961 and $66 million
in 1962. Production and refinery
expenses are included but explora
tion makes up the greatest part
of the total, Williams said.
Cumulative oil production to Oc
tober 1 of this year from 54 oil
wells in the Swanson River field
is 25,330,520 barrels, of which
10,259,110 barrels was produced in
calendar year 1962. Gas production
from three gas wells in the Kenai
gas field was 1,459,819 thousand
cubic feet last year and this is in
creasing as more outlets are con
nected in and around Anchorage.
Gas from six wells in the Swanson
River field is being used in re
pressuring the oil field.
Value of oil and gas production
in calendar 1962 was $28,422,000.
Direct state taxes on this brought
nearly S3 million into state coffers.
Income from lease rentals and
royalties was $5,754,000 in fiscal
1960, $2,447,000 in fiscal 1961, $4,
524,000 in fiscal 1962 and $8,572,
000 in fiscal 1963 which ended last
June 30.
Williams said production from
the Swanson River field will not
grow larger but should remain
steady for several years before it
starts a slow decline. “Other
fields are assured,” he said, “es
pecially under Cook Inlet, but
estimates for the future based on
these are pure guesswork at the
moment.”
Last year the industry, exclu
sive of marketing, employed 613
persons full time and supported
many others in related businesses.
Roads built by the petroleum in
dustry in Alaska totaled 331 miles
of heavy duty roads and 885 miles
of low grade roads and seismic
trails as of last December 31.
Some scientists believe bacteria
may become as important a source
of energy as nuclear fuel. . . . They
hope to use these tiny, one-celled
plants in producing electrical
power from garbage.

■ Flying Nuclear Torpedo Unveiled
NEW YORK dfl — The Navy un
veiled today a new submarine
weapon for blasting enemy sub
marines — at long range. It looks
; like a torpedo, but it works like
| a flying fish.
Called “Subroc,” the missile is
launched under water, then takes
off above surface, speeds to the
target area and plunges back into
the deep to its target.
It carries a nuclear warhead.
Its range was not disclosed, but
was termed greater than any anti
submarine weapon except air
craft. Unofficial speculation is that
the range is up to 20 or 30 miles.
Admiral W. T. Hines, Deputy
Chief of the Navy Bureau of
Weapons, says the missiles prom
ises to be of the utmost impor
tance in combatting one of the
major menaces in wartime — the
hostile submarine.
The underwater-to-air-to-under
water missile was displayel at a
joint news conference in New
York, held by the Navy and the
prime contractor, Goodyear Aero
space Corporation.
The 4,000-pound cylindrical mis
sile is launched through a con
ventional torpedo tube. Then a
solid-fuel rocket motor ignites.
Guided internally, the projectile
surfaces and soars through the air.
At a pre-determined range, the
rocket motor separates from the
bomb, which continues on its tra
jectory, steered by its guidance
system to its target.
E. J. Thomas, Goodyear board
chairman, says the new missile will
enable Navy subs to pinpoint a
nuclear payload on a submerged
enemy submarine many miles
away.
The Navy said an advanced
sonar system also makes it possible

for submarines to detect and track
other underwater craft or ships
at long range.
By traveling most of its course
through the air, the missile can
go farther and faster than an ordi
nary torpedo. Goodyear Aerospace
President T. A. Knowles says:
"Submarines which arc at a con
siderable distance and which man
euver at high speeds, would be
very difficult to hit with conven
tional waterborne torpedoes.”
