New US Asia Strategy Taking Shape
Washington reports indicate a new U S strategy for Asia is taking shape during Eisenhower’s secret policy conferences. Officials expect increased U S aid to Asia, a shift of focus from Europe, and a stronger anti communism campaign across the region.

Attorneys contend confiscation would occur if the company cannot earn a fair return, while the city asserts lawful regulation. A $300,000 bond backs potential refunds if the injunction is unjustified, with a ruling possibly after year’s start. City dock studies preceded a 16 percent rate grant, and the company had sought 50 percent. New well in Terry county flows 77 barrels of 38 gravity oil, prompting deeper drilling efforts.
