'COUNTRY BOY':
Oklahoma Senator
'Drives' on Power
. __a__....
(Cotinued from Page 3)
the driver's seat, it is, at least, a
big hand on the power steering.
Much of Kerr's view of legisla-
tion or the world is based on
whether it is good for Oklahoma.
"I'm against any combine Okla-
homa ain't in on," he says often.
Twelve Meanings
A favorite Kerr tactic in debate
or in shaking a committee wit-
ness is to reach innocently for a
dictionary, examine a single word
used by the witness, read aloud all
12 definitions and then linger dev-
astatingly on its most ridiculous
meaning. Also, he has been known
to interrupt scientists with a dis-
arming "I'm just a simple country
boy" tactic.
"Doctor," he'll say, looking down
over tri-focals, "I've never had the
benefit of a technical scientific
education (Kerr did study and
practice law' in his early days)
nor have I been handicapped by
one. Will you back up now please,
and tell us what you mean?"
In many ways, Bob Kerr is just
as simple as any other country boy
who happened to accumulate a
fortune estimated between $35
million and $50 million, whose
companies have become the larg-
est deep-water oil drillers in the
world, own the largest single uran-
ium holdings in the United States,
operate the largest uranium refin-
ing mill, become the third larg-
est producer of vanadium in the
United States and own the world's
largest Angus herd (7,000 head)
in which one-third of the romantic
output of one prize bull recently
sold for $75,000.
Sooner Support
Kennedy, it is said, needed
Kerr's support in the Senate and
in heavily Baptist Oklahoma,
which the Catholic President
failed to carry while Kerr, an ex-
governor, was winning his third
Senate term. Kerr, a devout, tee-
totaling Baptist, who taught Sun-
day School in Oklahoma City and
Washington until recently and
who still gives 30 per cent of his
income to his church, is the un-
crowned cardinal of Oklahoma
Baptists. In the 1960 campaign,
judging by Kerr's speeches, one
would have thought Lyndon John-
son headed the Democratic ticket.
Kerr didn't endorse Kennedy until
a few days before election.
On his side, Kerr saw to it that
the President was thoroughly
briefed on the water conservation
and land projects the Senator has
been pushing for years in Okla-
homa, with evangelical zeal and
federal money. Kerr has led the;
fight to turn Oklahoma from an
agrarian to an industrial economy.
Among other things, he has been
pushing a huge master plan to
harness the Arkansas River and its
tributaries for navigation, flood
control and hydroelectric power.
From an engineering standpoint,
the project has been called larger
than either the Tennessee Valley
Authority Development or the
Panama Canal. By the time it iq
finished in a few years, the whole
thing will have cost nearly $1.5
billion.
Big Exception
As a politician, Bob Kerr rarely
has been accused of being unreal-
istic. The big exception was 1952
when he was stung by the presi-
dential bug, set up a log cabin in
the Chicago convention hotel,
spent thousands of dollars seeking
the nomination and ran well out
of the money.
Today, Kerr denies he was un-
realistic. He was simply playing
the odds, he says. He had one
chance in 50 of winning as the re-
sult of a deadlock, he says, and
was assured Harry Truman would
leave the convention alone. Had
Truman stayed out of it, the Sen-
ator says, the ticket would have
been Alben Barkley and Bob Kerr.
Today at 66, his presidential
dream well behind him, Kerr re-
calls that his futile bid for the
nomination cost "me and my
friends" a quarter of a million dol-
lars but "I've drilled dry holes that
cost me a lot more from which I
had less fun."
"It wasn't hard for me to get
over the . presidential virus," he
says. "My father always used to
tell me, waste no effort watering
last year's crop."
Parent Company
Kerr is not shy about his wealth.
He freely admits to ownership by
himself and his family of one mil-
lion shares in his parent company,
Kerr-McGee, which at this writ-
ing are worth about $35 million
and return dividends totalling
$800,000 a year.
He has frequently been ques-
tioned about-the conflict of inter-
est principle. Any threat to cut the
oil depletion allowance brings a
loud roar from'Kerr, whose critics
have called him "the Oklahoma
gusher." In 1950, he personally led
a fight for a bill to free independ-
ent natural gas producers from
federal regulation. He got the bill
through only to run into a Truman
veto.
"Every law Congress passes af-
fects some segment of our econ-
omy. Every Senator and every
member of the House represents
one or more of our basic econ-
omic elements. That's what repre-
sentative government is supposed
to be. The sum total of these pres-
sures working through Congress
is the catalyst that produces our
laws.
TENGERU LODGING-Peace Corps members relax in accommo-
dations in Tanganyika. Peace Corps volunteres have increased in
the last year amazingly.
Membership in Corps,
.balloons in First Year
(EDITOR'S NOTE: This is the last
in a three part series on the prog-
ress of the Peace Corps.)
By BARBARA PASH
The tremendous increase of
Peace Corps volunteers is revealed
in the fact that in June 1961,
there were 97 volunteers abroad
whereas in August 1962 there were
5,110.
The Corps administrators be-
lieve that the keynote of their or-
ganization is service, and that its
success depends on the kind of
men and women who volunteer
and are accepted and the kind of
job they do overseas.
The average age of the volun-
teers is 24 years old for men and
25 years old for women. Approxi-
mately one third of the volunteers
are women. The vast majority of
the women have a college degree
and many have advanced degrees.
Non-College Candidates
However the number of non-
college candidates is expected to
increase considerably as projects
are developed which call for such
backgrounds as crafts training,
mechanical skills and farm ex-
perience, which need not be ac-
quired on a college campus.
The reasons given by volunteers
for their participation range from
the desire to help others to the
desire to further their own careers.
The tasks assigned to them range
from teaching to health work to
community development, and jobs
vary widely even within a project.
All Corps members are expected
to do more than simply perform
the jobs to which they have been
assigned. Their obvious willingness
to live at the level of their co-
workers has real significance in
helping to mold public attitudes
towards America abroad.
Even more important than this,
the volunteers' way of life reduces
social distance so that. person-to-
person communication can take
place. Living allowances range
from $70 in the Phillipines to
$168 in Tanganyika, paid in local
currency. They are designed to
enable volunteers to live at a
level comparable to that of their
associates while providing for basic
requirements in food, clothing,
housing and transportation.
To the greatest extent possible,
volunteers are paid their living
allowance in cash. Volunteers re-
ceive 30 days' leave a year. They
may leave only at times approved
by their work supervisors. They
are granted an additional allow-
ance of $5 per day during leave.
Although questionnaire applica-
tions have been coming in to the
Peace Corps at the rate of more
than 1000 per month, a recruiting
program is necessary. Many of the
applicants are ineligible because
of dependents, marital status, lack
of specific skills needed or other
reasons.
Select for Training
Out of more than 17,000 vol-
unteer questionnaires filed, more
than 1000 applicants have been
selected for training. Of the 700
persons sent overseas as of Feb-
ruary 1962, only two have been
returned to America.
The Corps considers only func-
tional requirements in selecting
candidates for training or ser-
vice abroad. Selection as a volun-
teer is a two-phase process: first,
selection for training, based on a
review of paper qualifications; and
second, selection for overseas ser-
vice, involving additinal assess-
ments and an evaluation of per-
formance during training.
The initial selection devices havej
undergone continual refinement asc
experience has made it possible to
validate their various elements.
The original questionnaire was
completely revised in December,
1961. The Placement Examination
has been reduced from a 61/2 hour
battery of tests to 4% hours
Service Abroad
Programs to equip volunteers for
service abroad have several major
objectives, among which are: to
ensure necessary technical skills,
to ensure language proficiency, to
instill respect for the culture of
the host country, to strengthen
physical and emotional resources
and to evaluate Communist ideol-
ogy and tactics.
Training is usually conducted in
three phases-U.S. training usually
eight weeks, Puerto Rico field
training of four weeks and host
country training, usually about
three or four weeks.
On February 1, 1962, through
the Travelers Insurance Company,
a program went into effect which
provides a $10,000 death benefit
protection for each volunteer.
