Colonel

The United States became the world s first producer of deep crude oil from an oil well when in 1859 Colonel Edwin Drake successfully used a pipe drilled into the ground to obtain oil. From then until about 1970, the United States was virtually energy-independent with only some oil and gas imports from Mexico and Canada. Wliile U.S. reserves of coal, natural gas and uranium continue to be large enough to supply internal demand with enough left over to export, the supply of oil took a sharp turn downward. After 1970, even while U.S. demand continued to increase at a steep 6.5 percent per year, the supply of U.S. oil began to decline, necessitating sharp increases in U.S. oil imports.

Get Weissbrodt Weissbrodt was a very capable man it was surprising that Bernstein had recommended his prankishness rather than his ability. Weissbrodt, who had tracked down some of the first evidences of Farben s influence on the Continent, had been an infantry corporal ready for discharge by the time he got the call from SHAEF. Three times he ignored orders to leave his company and proceed to SHAEF headquarters in London. Then he was given a choice investigate or take a court-martial. By this time Colonel Bernstein was in North Africa. 

You figure that," she said. "Colonel Bahaar in Berlin — he s about the only Russian there whose word might be counted on — backed up the Swedish legation. Bahaar swears the Russians never excavated at Berlin Northwest 7. But Hermann Schmitz had a huge personal fortune in Sweden and plenty of influence there. Now, who s lying "... 

Maybe," she said laughing. "Maybe not. Anyway, we have to figure back to Berlin. Berlin Northwest 7 was part of the Laender-bank Building. We know there were two basements. In the top basement were the vaults, and Colonel Bernstein s men found some of Schmitz s and Ilgncfs belongings there. Then under some debris they found a safe that was empty except for one file. The question is If the Russians didn t rifle that safe, who did "... 

They had intended to search the house at once, but he directed them to a small sitting room. They were Enlisted Men — a fact they could not forget because he sat without inviting them to sit and looked up and down the sleeve of one, a corporal, then the other, a sergeant. They felt as if they were in the presence of their own colonel. The feeling soon passed, for after Schmitz had answered all their questions by questioning their authority, they smiled openly at the information on the wall that God was the head... 

The judges listened — like children listening to Buck Rogers — as Dr. ter Meer testified for hours. Not until November 1938 did he take the trip he had planned the year before. A Colonel Loeb in the Ministry of Economics had insisted that the buna process be held back, but, said Ter Meer, he resolved to hand over to Howard in New York the buna process. He went to the Reich Ministry of Economics to get Loeb s permission ... 

A. I have already discussed that talk with Colonel Loeb — at the time, I believe Major General Loeb. 

He had heard of beatings by the SS within the concentration camp proper, he went on, but he had ordered the camp commandant to stop it. Ordered an SS Colonel Yes, ordered, he repeated. He had even set up a bonus system as a kind of compensation to the inmates for their imprisonment. 

The Wehrmacht had considered even the increase at Schkopau [first Buna plant] of from 200 to 2000 tons a risk. The Wehrmacht definitely did not welcome a second plant. General Loeb considered it entirely impudent, and Colonel Phillipps [Army Ordnance] on his part would do everything in his power, also with General Loeb, to prevent the construction. 

This Colonel Phillipps had been invited with the other Ordnance people to that conference in Krauch s office. Kuehne added a P.S. to Ter Meer, quoting Phillipps ...

In 1875, spiritualist circles in New York helped launch the Theosophical Society, another major component of the occult revival. The Society was founded by H. P. Blavatsky (1831-1891) and Colonel Henry Steel Olcott (1832-1907). Blavatsky, who was born in the Russian Ukraine, claimed to have studied for seven years under Hindu mahatmas and even to have traveled in Tibet at a time when few Westerners were permitted into the country. Olcott had worked in the Navy Department during the Civil War he had even been one of three members of the special commission to investigate the assassination... 

LIZA (desperate)-. Oh, you are a cruel tyrant. I can t talk to you you turn everything against me I m always in the wrong. But you know very well all the time that you re nothing but a bully. You know I can t go back to the gutter, as you call it, and that I have no real (20) friends in the world but you and the Colonel. You know well I couldn t bear to live with a low common man after you two and it s wicked and cruel of you to insult me by pretending I could.

I ll marry Freddy, I will, as soon as he s able to support me.

A third American (Chief Warrant Officer Daniel Scott) died of injuries received in the crash. 

Enroute, a British Colonel sat near him. For miles he avoided the Colonel s stare until, finally, Mark decided that candor was his best course. "I feel obliged to explain the situation," he said in his recently polished English. He did, and continued home without further incident.
