...petrochemical crude, for which Ashland Oil & Refining Co. and Pure Oil Co. pay $2.92 per barrel. Experienced oilmen feel, however, that the potential yield of the Morrow County field is being rapidly reduced by the drilling of too many wells in one small area, a practice that diminishes the subterranean gas pressure needed to force out the oil. But just in case the Morrow County field should turn out to be only the first tapping of a vast underground ocean of oil, more than 100 lease dealers are now quietly collecting contracts for drilling rights from Lake Erie...
Untapped Spring. Perrier's thirst is not yet satisfied. It is now building ultramodern bottling plants to turn out even more mineral water: one at Thonon on Lake Geneva and the other at Montigny-le-Bretonneux, 15 miles from Paris, where a subterranean spring is almost directly beneath the plant...
Before 1958, only a fraction of the Wittelsbach Schatzkammer's contents had been shown to the public, and then only in a cramped, subterranean vault. The Bavarian government decided to bring the treasure out of the dark, spent $250,000 in preparing new quarters in a wing of the family's sprawling Munich residence, which is a replica of Florence's Pitti Palace and a next-door neighbor to the rebuilt Nationaltheater (TIME, Dec. 6). Now-slowly, because it is not much publicized-the Schatzkammer is becoming one of the show attractions of Europe (see opposite page...
...Gilded Lily. The formula for this subterranean success is a combination of Filene's Basement's pricing policy and its unceasing search for bargains, both of which were originated by Lincoln and Edward Filene, the famed brothers who made Filene's one of the world's largest specialty stores. Filene's 60 buyers scour the world, picking up surplus stock, irregular merchandise and going-out-of-business wares. Filene's is a haven for other merchants who are hit by fire or failure; its buyers will fly off even in the middle...
Shortly after the terms of test ban treaty were published, the doubters began to argue that the exemption of underground explosions was the Soviet ace-in-the-hole. Since the Russians have made fewer subterranean tests than the United States, they would be able to catch up in that category while this country was forbidden from atmospheric testing of hydrogen behemoths comparable to the ones the Soviets already have. Secretary McNamara testified we did not need the big bombs, but if we ever did, we could build them without testing them and still be confident they would work...
