Accompanied by his chic French wife Christiana, Matta set up housekeeping in a native hut. A slight (barely 100 Ibs.) man with bristling black hair and piercing eyes, he had a strange way with the wild animals-antelopes, buffaloes, lions, elephants-that were his charges, walked fearlessly among the wildest and greatest beasts.

...contended that Hines Baker, then president of Humble Oil, talked with Standard of Jersey President Monroe J. Rathbone about a price hike in Louisiana in December 1956, that Rathbone reported the matter to Jersey's executive committee, and that an industrywide boost started soon after. The Government questioned Lion Oil Co. Vice President John E. Howell about a series of phone conversations with top oil-industry executives.
