...scarcer than good halfbacks. Last week in England, crew coaches at Oxford, which hopes on March 24 to win the Boat Race against Cambridge for the first time in 14 years, were paradoxically perplexed by a coxswain who filled the requirements of his job too well. He was Hart Massey, second son of Vincent Massey, Canada's High Commissioner in London...
...years ago, the Cambridge crew rowed proudly onto the Thames with the third lightest coxswain in Boat Race history-97-lb. J. M. Ranking. Hart Massey, 19, a graduate of Upper Canada College in Toronto, now in his first year at Balliol, is less than 4 ft. tall, weighs 56 Ib. Using Coxswain Massey would give Oxford at least 50 Ib. weight advantage. It would also mean building a shell specially weighted in the stern. If Coxswain Massey were suddenly unavailable on Boat Race Day, only alternatives would be i) using a shell other than the one the crew...
...Iran to the Persian Gulf. In size, if not in richness, Seaboard's new Middle Eastern territories will be superior even to those of Britain's great Anglo-Iranian Oil Co. Both the Afghan and Iranian concessions are the outgrowth of conversations in 1933 between Charles Calmer Hart, then U. S. Minister to Iran, and his good friend Ogden Livingston Mills, outgoing Secretary of the Treasury. After Mr. Hart resigned as Minister and Mr. Mills returned to private life, the two succeeded in interesting the Manhattan investment house of Case, Pomeroy & Co. in the possibilities of planting...
About a year and a half aw this coalition approached Seaboard. formed the exploration companies, gave Seaboard a 51% interest. Mr. Hart then began to palaver in Kabul and Teheran. Biggest stockholder in Seaboard Oil (32%) is Texas Corp. Last week Texaco filed a registration statement with the Securities & Exchange Commission for the issuance of 1,557,000 shares of common stock, to be offered to Texas stockholders at about $40 a share on the basis of one new share for each six held. Market price of Texas common last week was $52. Of the estimated $62,000.000 proceeds from...
Significant in the agreement signed last week by Messrs. Hart & Clapp and Faiz Mohammed Khan was a proviso that the concession company must be entirely American. U. S. engineers have been well regarded in the East ever since they helped complete Iraq Petroleum's 1,200 mi. pipe line across Iraq and Syria to the Mediterranean in 1935. More important than that, and perhaps most important for the concession to Seaboard, is the fact that Afghans are still skittish about British interference. European-minded King Amanullah was chased out in 1929 partly because he tried to force pants...
