Island Rock Formation Hos All Oil Production Factors

"The rock formation of Prince Edward Island possesses all the qualifications for the presence of oil" said Mr. W. A.-Roliffa of Im- perial Oil Ltd.. yesterday. He went on to show that the factors for which geologists look in their survey for oil are: (1) the rocks must be capable of generating oil; (2) they must be porous; (3) there must be a trap which will catch and hold the oil.

"Unless we drill intelligently, however, we give a place a black eye' which will make other com- panies reluctant to drill." Mr. Roliffe who is in charge of oil explorations for Imperial Oil in Eastern Canada was speaking at a press conference held at the Charlottetown Hotel.

Mr. James Corry. manager of Imperial Oil, Charlottetown. pre- sided at the meeting and wei- comed those present which includ- ed officials of the Board of Trade and several local bank managers.

Mr. Roliffe said, "It is safe to say that we have some rocks here capable of generating oil." I-Ie went on to relate the measures taken by a company to explore for oil. The first steps taken are of necessity the least expensive and as the presence of oil b e c om es more evident other phases of ex- ploration are entered into.

MOSCOW (AP).-Pravda pub- lished Wednesday an unprece- dented criticism of tbr present Kremlin leadership. It asked in- directly whether the current lead- . ers ever tried to stop Stalin in

4' his latter-day excesses.

It did so by reprinting an ar- -' : tlcle that contained the question. . -' The article was by Eugene Den- nis. general secretary of the Com- munist party in the United States. It appeared in the New York ' Daily Worker of June 18.

Pravda. in copying it, carried the first direct or implied criticism . of the present Soviet leadership g ever published here.

RADICAL SHIFT

It also carried the first locally published report that Nikita S. KiiaLISlICl'I8V, boss of the Soviet Communist party, had denounced the late Prime Minister Stalin in a secret speech to the party's 20th Congress in February and that the U.S. state depart. ment later had issued a pur- ported text of that speech.

The Pravda reprinting, running on three pages. marked a radical shift in Soviet propaganda policy. It created a sensation among Moscow people. many of whom could be seen reading copies

LONDON (APl e Prime Min- ister Eden told the Commonwealth prime ministers Wednesday the Commonwealth must stand ready for a relentless Soviet trade war - now that the new Kremlin lead- ers have been warned not to stir . up trouble in the Middle East.

The British leader was opening the conference of fellow prime ministers of eight other Common- wealth nations. They met for se- cret talks on affairs of the world and their own globe-girdiing sys- tem.

Several of the prime ministers went into the talks impressed by a warning Eden gave soviet lead- ers during their visit to Britain this spring.

This warning, disclosed to the prime ministers in briefings be- fore the formal sessions began.

At Crapaud

J. R. Murphy. Sulumerside was yesterday elected and installed as Grand Master A. F. and A. M. for Prince Edward Island, at the Blst annual communication assent- ble held in the Masonic Temple at Crap:-lud The sessions were opened by the retiring Grand Mast- er, the Rev. E. C. Evans, a mem- ber of Victoria Lodge No. 2. Other offices elected were; Deputy Grand Master C. G. Lord. Charlottetown; Senior Grand War- den, Errol Stetson, 0iLeary; Jun- ior Gand Warden. D. R.

termines the contept of the rock structure and the third is the seismi survey which by means of electrical recordings indicates the depth at which certain kinds of rock formation lay.

Mr. Rollffe said that sometimes the gravity survey is convincing enough to proceed with drilling op- eratlons without going into the seismic survey. He explained that the seismic survey is the most costly of all and is used only when there is strong evidence from previous surveys regarding the presence of oil.

Questioned in regard to the gravity survey thus for Mr. Rtr liffe said, "We feel we are getting something out of it and are in hopes that oil may be found at between 5,000 to 7.000 feet below the surface."

RILLSBORO WELL

In making reference to the well drilled in Hillsboro Bay about eleven years ago, Mr. Rollffe said that although no oil was found at that point, there is nothing to in- dicate that oil will not be found nearer the surface in other parts of the Province. He also stated that equipment being used today is more accurate in determining the presence of oil and there is not the need for taking risks in

"In the discussion on the 20th Congress currently being centred around the special Khrushchev report. questions frequently arise about the present Soviet leader ship.

"Did some of them try to bring about changes before the last three years? Could the past evils have been checked earlier? How big and serious are the changes now under way? . . . "

HIGH - LEVEL DECISION

The decision to pick up The Worker article obviously was made at the highest party level and authorized by Khrushchev himself.

Dennis' article said that Khrushchevs story of Sialinsl be- havior in the years before his death in March 1953. though "shocking and painful." was his- tory. Communists. he said, "must have the courage to face up to it, analyze it and draw conclusions from it."

TAKEN SERIOUSLY

Eden has formed the opinion that Premier Bulganin and Com- munist party secretary Nikita Khrushchev took the warning ser- iously and perhaps for the first time realized the importance of middle east oil to Britain's highly industrialized economy.

As a result he was in s Dosi- tion to report to the conference that the Middle East situation is calmer and that Russia thus far seems to be helping in the United Nations quest for an Arab-Israeli settlement.

Suggests Electric Chair, Gas Chamber For Murder

OTTAWA (CP) - Retention of but substitu-

Q or the gas chamber and no ex-

The recommendations are in- eluded in a 15,000-word report on

The r e p o r t. prepared after

said capital punishment should be retained because it is a deterrent to murder, restrains criminals from using violence and protects police.

It said both electrocution and the gas chamber avoid the worst psychological associations connec- ted with hanging and are greater proof against human frailty and error. E x a m pi e s of ”bungled '- " had been brought to

Nurses's Ass'n Gives Nod To '

National Policy

WINNIPEG (CP) -- More than 900 ” ' tes to the biennial con- vention of the Clnadain Nurses' Association Wednesday approved a statement of national policies on nursing service.

The 41.000-member ciation said a high quality of nursing ser- vice is dependent upon maintani- ing sufficient numbers of qualified personnel and professional nurses should be graduates of approved schools of nursing and be mem- bers in good standing of their pro fessional association.

The policy statement, first to be adopted by the organization. said there should be a separate budget for nursing service, that functions of personnel should be clearly defined and suggested use of a nursing team when approp- riatc.

It also urged regular review of personnel policies covering hours of work. salaries. health prac- tices, pension plans. holidays and education of nurses.

It was suggested that Initial re- research in hospitals include a study of minimum general nurs- ing hours, desirable ratios be- tween professiunal and non-pro- fessional personnel and the effec- tiveness of services given by stu- dent nurses at various stages of their education.

The convention also approved a recommendation that the CNA "proceed without delay toward the establishment of accreditation of educational programs in nurs- ing.

it is unlikely the report will be debated this session. The recom- mendations will be discussed next session when the government is expected to write most of, if not all. the proposals into legislation.

The report also recommended:

1. Retention of capital punish- ment for treason and piracy.

2. That women convicted of murder should -not-hettrelbetrany differently from men.

3. Central places of execution in each province which should continue to provide facilities for carrying out the death penalty. The Criminal Code now permits provinces to establish central places of execution. However, only Quebec. Saskatchewan, Man- itoba and British Columbia have
