...development of the area began in 1933 with the perfection of directional drilling, which allowed the necessary machinery to be on land. By 1947, California was receiving nearly $4 million in annual royalties from its off-shore oil. The importance of Tideland Oil has greatly increased with the more recent prospecting in the Gulf of Mexico off the Texas and Louisiana coasts. Over 2 1/2 million acres of the Gulf have already been leased for oil development, although this is still a wildeat area with only a few producing wells. But vast sums are being poured into the development...
...rules, the strike of Buenos Aires' newspaper typographers should have been a cinch to settle. Their demand-a 25% wage boost to meet the soaring cost of living-seemed mild enough by recent Argentine standards. But before the week was out, the printers had defied both their officers and the government, and shut down all newspapers in Buenos Aires.

In recent years the St. Louis color line has been breached repeatedly by educators...

The recent deaths of 85-year-old Frank Noyes (TIME, Dec. 13) and 75-year-old Fleming Newbold, his brother-in-law, less than two months apart, marked the end of the old regime on the Star. Last week Kauffmann, four other new officers and two new directors* ushered in the new regime. Six of the seven were named Kauffmann or Noyes; all were descendants of the first Samuel Hay Kauffmann or the first Crosby Stuart Noyes, who took over the Star...
