a a STATE NEWS Union Pickets Glenrock School Union members working on School-Junior High School job for the second time since mational placard bearer" from Casper appeared on the job site. Glenrock Superintendent of union members working Anesi Construction Co. of Lander, the prime contractor on the job, and employes of Modern Electric Co. of Casper and Poole Plumbing and Heating of Torrington were ohnoring the presence of the placard bearer and refusing to go on the job. In Casper, Ironworkers Business Agent Harry Pruitt said he would have a statement for the press sometime today.

However, at press time, the statement had not been released. Superintendent Henderson said the union management dispute apparently stems from union demand that Anesi Construction use local union members in doing the iron work on the job and Anesi's alleged refusal to honor the demand. Original estimates concerning the projects completion date Simpson Takes Crack at Teno WASHINGTON (UPI) Sen. Milward Simpson, struck Tuesday at one of his potential Democratic opponents this year, Rep. Teno Roncalio, by denouncing an organization which has endorsed Roncalio.

The Council for a Livable World, Simpson said, "stands against every principle for which American boys are shedding blood hour by hour in a war-torn The Council has endorsed Roncalio for Simpson's seat in the 1966 general elections. Roncalio has not yet announced, but is expected to make the race. At least one other Democrat, Supreme Court Justice John J. McIntyre, is expected to enter the primary. In its November bulletin, the Council called Simpson "an extreme right winger" and said he should be defeated, The Council's aim, Simpson said, is "a totally defenseless America." He said it pushes for unilateral disarmament and tries to turn the U.S.

"into a fourth rate power." the $1,000,000 Glenrock High construction project walked off the September Tuesday when an "inforthe Iron Workers Local 454 in Schools Sheldon Henderson said had set August 20, 1966 as the date when the schools would be ready for occupancy. However, Henderson said, it is now estimated the project is about 10 weeks behind schedule. Apparently Wyoming's controversial "right to work" law is involved in the union-contract dispute. The law prohibits compulsory union membership and the unions claim some contractors have taken this to mean that they are not required to use union members on some construction jobs.

The winning homes are: Nativity Scene, Otis Barber; Originality, Joe Bilbao; General Christmas The me, Leonard Miller, Fred Thatcher, Nerwin Reed.

All of these five winners will receive cash awards donated by the three sponsoring organizations: Glenrock Women's Club, Glenrock Lions Club, and the Glenrock Chamber of Commerce. Honorable mention goes to homes of: Fritz Graham, Art Sims, Neil Bader, and Hershel Wickett.

Gales Hamper Plane Search CHEYENNE (UPI) High winds Tuesday hampered the search by two Wyoming Civil Air Patrol planes for a missing plane.

The CAP said the planes would try again Wednesday to search an area 35 miles north of Rawlins for the plane piloted by August Halminiak of Council Bluffs, Iowa. The search had been suspended late Sunday but was resumed Tuesday after a rancher and sheepherder reported having spotted a similar plane passing over the same area the day Halminiak disappeared. He had been piloting a singleengine white Cessna 172 on a flight from Rock Springs, to Denver. Heavy snows fell the weekend of Halminiak's disappearance and it was believed the plane might have been covered by the snow. $3 Million Slated For State Airports WASHINGTON (UPI) The Federal Aviation Agency Monday issued a $1.28 billion plan calling for construction of 887 new airport landing facilities and improvements at 3,219 existing airports across the country.

H. Egolf, President of the Wyoming Oil Industry Committee. Petroleum industry records for just drilling and equipping wells in the U.S. during 1963 were recently released, he said, and they show that oilmen spent more than $2.3 billion for this purpose in one year alone.

In Wyoming during 1963, Egolf reported, petroleum companies spent $28,211,000 just for drilling the 499 wells that turned out to be dry holes ventures failing Game Warden Is Plugged For Goose TORRINGTON, Wyo. (UPI)If you go goose hunting, please don't shoot the game warden. It happened this way: Goshen County Game Warden Orville Mayer was in his blind 16 miles southwest of Torrington Monday when a flock of geese came flying over, but not close enough for a shot. The warden watched the birds land in a nearby field and began crawling out of the blind to get closer. He said he heard what sounded like small arms fire, raised up with his hand over his eyes shading them from the sun.

A bullet smacked into his hand shielding his eyes. Mayer promptly fired his shotgun and the shooting stopped. The angry warden located a man he believed to be the marksman, Roger L. Morgan, 23, of Laramie, and charged him with hunting geese with: a rifle. Morgan was released on bond to appear in justice court early in January at Torrington.

produce oil or gas in commercial quantities. "Oil men in Wyoming are not alone in drilling dry holes, of Egolf said. "Overall during 1963, petroleum companies in this country saw almost $800 million go down the drain in unsuccessful drilling ventures. "The greatest risk of dry holes occurs when drilling in new or 'wildcat' areas where no oil or gas has previously been found. On the average, only one in nine wells will find oil or gas in these areas, and only 3 out of 100 will find oil or gas in sufficient quantities to make commercial development profitable." "Yet the increasing demands of the nation for new supplies of low-cost energy require this continuing search," Egolf added.

The average cost of drilling a producing oil well was put at about $52,000 by the survey, he said. The average cost of drilling a producing gas well was $92,000, and the average cost of a dry hole drilled that year was $48,000. GENERAL PEARSON Attorneys Ask Retirement for General Pearson CHEYENNE (UPI)- Attorneys for suspended state Adj.
