A dense 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. THREE STEPS The first step is usually an areal photographic survey which .. I Unprecedented U. S. Criticism 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 ated from a small car. It is said Guardian Photos gives information regarding the undulations of the land.

Guardian Covers Island Prince Edward Like the Dew CANADA, 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.

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.

The recommendations are in- eluded in a 15,000-word report on 1' the death penalty tabled in the - two Houses of Parliament by the Commons - Senate committee on capital and corporal punishment 3 and lotteries. The r e p o r t. prepared after more than two years of study, 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.

The ultimate aim of the research would be to provide nurs- t ing administrators. hospitals, mun- end On Nursing icipalitics, industries and other agencies with a guide for esti- mating their need for 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.

The committee said the death penalty should not apply to a person of 18 years or under at the time the offence was commit- ted.

Harold Winch (CCF - Vancouver E a sit and other committee members are known to have urged complete abolition of the death penalty on the ground that it belongs to the Middle Ages. They favor life im- prisonment for murder. 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.
