Acquires Utah Firm's Holdings In Shale Lands

C L E V E L A N D - S o h i o and the Oil Shale Co. ( T O S C O ) have entered into an agreement to purchase a Utah oil company's interests in 8,400 acres of land containing shale oil reserves.

According to an announce-ment by Samuel H. Elliott , sen-ior vice-president for the Oil and Gas Business, the purchase was made to "increase Sohio's stake in the oil shale venture."

Sohio and T O S C O , along with Cleveland-Cliffs Iron Co., formed a jo int venture two months ago to develop commercial produc-tion of oil from shale.

Interests in the oil shale prop-erty were purchased from Sky-line Oil Co., headquartered in Salt Lake City. Containing shale oil reserves estimated at more than 400 million barrels, the property is in Uintah County, Utah, near the Colorado border. It lies west of oil shale lands held by the three-company ven-ture in Colorado.

Boron Gasoline Ads Win Award

Expected to be completed by Aug. 1, the enlarged plant will have an annual manufacturing capacity of 500.000 pounds of the thin-walled, hollow, glassy spheres.

Microspheres, a development of Sohio's Research Center, first were used in plastic form to re-duce evaporation in oil storage tanks. A number of oil com-panies throughout the world now use the material for this purpose.

Dear Mr. Spahr:

I have recent ly reviewed the advances that have been made by Plans for P r o g r e s s companies . Today the number of companies that have voluntarily agreed to help your Government c a r r y out this essent ia l policy has i n c r e a s e d to 204 , employing more than 7 mil l ion people.

Although this program i s directed at the highest executive level , both in your companies and in the Government, it must a lso be implemented in thousands of local communit ies - - and in thousands of local bus inesses .

It would be of great help to m e , to P lans for P r o g r e s s and to your nation if you could write each of your local managers explaining that equal e m -ployment opportunity can be achieved only through the operation of the f ree enterpr i se system at their level , and urging them as they continue to re in force their own e f for t s , to commend the Plans for P r o g r e s s idea to other employers , and to part ic ipate in community ac t iv i t ies which seek to achieve this goal.

Although I know you have already covered these points in your organiza-tion, I would appreciate it if you would do so again. This m e s s a g e i s very important, for there a r e many who need only the stimulation of your example to become convinced of the necess i ty of individual action on their part .

Again, let me extend my personal gratitude for all that you have done and a r e doing to make equal employment opportunity a rea l i ty in A m e r i c a .

Spahr Supports Equal Employment Opportunity Pact in Letter to LBJ

In 1962 Sohio voluntarily joined the Federal government's "Plans for Progress" program, reaffirming its policy of offer-ing equal employment opportunities, without regard to race, creed, color, or national origin.

Cosigners of the agreement were R i c h a r d C. Sauer, Sohio's executive vice - president, and Lyndon B. Johnson , then Uni ted States vice-president.

Since that t ime Sohio has ac-tively carried out its pledges under the program. Recent ly President Charles E. Spahr re-ceived the above letter from President J o h n s o n .

Mr. Spahr's answer follows. My dear Mr. President:

T h a n k you for your letter concerning the Plans for Prog-ress program for encouraging equal employment opportunity. I was pleased to learn of the increase in the number of com-

panies that are part ic ipating in this program.

My associates at T h e Standard Oil Company (Ohio) and I strongly support and endorse this voluntary method of achiev-ing equal employment opportu-nity goals. W e are advocating participation in the Plans for Progress program in our deal-ings with other employers, and our endeavors within the com-pany to fulfill our own volun-tary commitments are continu-ous and effective.

I assure you that 1 will pass along your message to our man-agers. Ycry respectfully yours,

Seat Belts Save Four Armadillos In Car Collisions

Safety in the use of auto seat belts, by passengers as well as drivers, is emphasized by the Armadillo Club's new-est members.

R o b e r t F,isen, field engineer in H o m e Office Sales Technica l , was a passenger in a car driven by Cl inton Downey, Columbus Sales Division industrial sales-man. W h e n the car collided with a n o t h e r v e h i c l e , E i s e n w a s thrown forward. His head struck the windshield, but the seat belt he wore prevented severe im-pact and he was unin jured . Both Eisen and Downey were named Armadillos.

Another car passenger, T h o m a s Pew, was snugly fastened by a seat belt when the car collided with another vehicle. Pew, sen-ior dispatcher in Cleveland Re-gion's Maintenance Department , said his belt spared him from "going through the windshield."

A fourth seat-belt Armadil lo is W a l t e r Jones , chauffeur in Home Office Finance 's Chauf-feurs. Although [ones suffered injuries when the car he was driving collided with a truck, his seat belt prevented what might have been more serious injury.

T w o other Armadillos have safety glasses to thank for being spared eye in jury while working at T o l e d o Refinery. Pipefitter John Palka had his safety glasses struck by a wrench. T h e y were knocked off, but he suffered only a small abrasion. Operator Herman T h o m p s o n ' s safety glass-es were struck by a metal tool that slipped. H e was unin jured.

At L ima Refinery, a pipe Hange fell on T o m Coleman's foot. Coleman, a boilermaker, wasn't in jured because he wore safety shoes.

Peggy Christie Decorates Home With Ireland's Belleek Porcelain

By M A R I O N P O U R B A I X

CALGARY — W h e n y o u visit t h e h o m e of E x p l o r a t i o n S t a f f Landman Gordon Christie and his wife Peggy, it doesn't take long to notice their collection of Irish Belleek porcelain.

A close look at the china, nearly 100 pieces in all, reveals its delicate workmanship, creamy appearance, and iridescent lus-ter.

Belleek, Peggy explains, has been handmade at a factory in Ire land since 1857. It still is pro-duced according to the old meth-ods handed down from one gen-eration to the next.

From a red maple cupboard in the corner of the room, Peggy selected a favorite vase painted with pastel pink rosebuds. More modern pieces in the collection have a Shamrock decoration in soft green.

"Gordon really doesn't have a favorite," she says, "he likes all of it. Before he jo ined Sohio in 1956 we lived in Montana. Whenever he traveled to Can-ada, he'd bring me back a piece of Belleek."

T h e Christie collection started with cups and saucers. " In fact, Peggy says, " the first Bel leek I ever saw was a cup and saucer that Gordon's grandmother had brought from Ireland. It was love at first sight."

Peggy points out that many of the designs used in Belleek are of a marine character, such as

Bureau Assists Travelers

C L E V E L A N D — W h e t h e r it's a trip to the World's Fair, New England. Florida, or the West Coast, accurate information on the best routes to travel comes from Sohio's Trave l Bureau. Here Travel Bureau Assistant Edward Kralik aids a customer with trip plans in the bureau's newly redecorated office on the main floor of the Mid-land Building.

Every year, says Manager J o h n Hylkema, some 100,000 persons enter the bureau, which collects payments on Sohio bills, handles Greyhound commuter tickets, and directs visitors to proper com-pany offices, in addition to supplying free road maps and travel information. Hylkema reports more requests are being received this year for World's Fair and New York City routings than for any other destinations.

seashells and plants, corals and seahorses. Some of the thin, light china is in the form of baskets with interlaced openwork.

"Now," she continues, "we have a complete dinner set for eight and a tea set, as well as a coffee pot, water pitcher, many vases and ornaments. W e use the china often and are not afraid of damaging it, although the price of each piece has almost doubled since we began collect-ing in 1952."

Eventually, Peggy and Gordon hope to increase their dinner set to 12 place settings so that daughters Melissa, 9, and Susan, 7, each can have a set of six.

" T h e girls," Peggy claims, "are proud but casual about Belleek. So are our four sons—James, 20; David, 16; Michael, 14; and Thomas , 12. They ' l l probably become more interested in the collection later on."

Tax Cut Could Cause Woes for Some in Spring

For some Sohioans, this year's tax cut may bring a bigger tax bill next spring.

Nationwide, the Internal Revenue Service expects tax money withheld from pay-checks to be short of actual taxes owed by a total of some $800 million. This situation re-sults from withholding rates that are lower than the tax rates themselves.

T h e former 18 per cent with-holding rate was reduced to 14 per cent early in March. But the lowest income tax rate under the new law is 16 per cent.

As a result, some taxpayers who formerly received refunds will have to pay additional taxes for 1964. ()tilers may owe larger balances than before.

Because of variations in each individual tax situation, it's dif-ficult to generalize about who may have a larger balance due. However, to demonstrate the effects of the new tax law, Home Office Accounting's T a x Staff, under Manager William N. Kali, has worked out the hypothetical cases (below) of two employees, showing how they arrived at their total income tax for 1963 and 1964.

Sohioans can estimate the amount of tax that will be with-held from their wages this year by adding the accumulative with-holdings to date — as shown on the last payroll check stub — to the amounts yet to be withheld this year.

T o assist employees in esti-mating their 1964 tax liability,

Tests Plastic Liner in Tank

O K M U L G E E - I n their con-stant fight against salt water tank corrosion, Production So-hioans are testing a new tech-nique at the Slick Uni t Dutcher Sand (SUDS) Waterf lood here.

A plastic film liner, resembling a big bag, has been installed in a 5,000-barrel, bolted steel tank. About 18,000 barrels of water containing a high salt and hy-drogen s u l f i d e c o n t e n t are pumped through the tank daily.

Various types of coatings were applied to the tank's inter ior in the past, but none effectively prevented salt water from cor-roding the metal.

Sohioans struck upon the poly-vinyl liner—38 feet in diameter and 23 feet high—as the only protection method which could be installed and then checked for holes after the tank is full.

Folks at Home Office

mail Processing and Supply Service CLEVELAND — Mail from Home Office each month

amounts to more than ten tons per employee in Mail Process-ing and Supply Service of the Treasurer's Staff.

" T h e r e are 22 people in the unit , " says Uni t Manager Wil-bur L. (Will ie) Stump, "and a month's mail amounts to some-thing like 250 or 275 tons." He points out that this is the mail which goes through the post office. I t doesn't include intra-company mail through van dray or interoffice mail at Home Office.

Last year 9,837,000 pieces of mail were processed — 7,818,000 pieces through inserting ma-chines. Postage in 1963 was $611,000. Slump estimates that nearly 7.5 million pieces of mail will be processed the first six months of this year and that postage will run to nearly three quarters of a million dollars for the year.

Automatic stuffers that will insert up to four items iu a single envelope handle from 3,000 to 5,000 items an hour. Automatic folders rigged up to work with the stuffers eliminate prefolding of items.

"Before we attached the fold-ing machine," explains Group S u p e r v i s o r Raymond Rogers, "stuffing bulk station accounts, alone, was a 24-hour job. It took two or three men operating fold-ing and inserting machines to process 40,000 items. Now it's a one-man j o b that takes from 10 to 12 hours."

Attachment of the folding ma-chines was not known possible

by the manufacturer . However, Maintenance Mechanic Charles (Pete) Spence conceived an elec-trical wiring system that con-verted the folder to work with the stufier.

Keeping the post office "hap-py" Soldo being one of the largest business mailers in the Cleveland distr ict—is just one unit job . T h e r e are five girls who sort and separate incoming and outgoing mail. Seven girls delivering and picking up mail in Home Office handle between 9,000 and 15,000 items a day on live round trips. In addition, they help to sort and separate mail.

" I t 's been figured out ," says Ray, " that we handle more than 135 different jobs. Each girl has her own desk, and when she's free of deliveries, there's hand folding, hand stuffing, and many other chores to at tend."

Besides van drav deliveries of company communications, there are pickups and deliveries by truck and messenger in Cleve-land.

From the "weight of evi-dence," these Sohioans are ultra-postmen and postwomen.
