United Press International
DALLAS — China could dou-
e its daily two million barrel oil
•oduction capacity within 10
jars, John F. Mason of Prince-
>n, N. J., said before an oil explor-
H ion session at the four-day
l /orld Oil and Gas Show & Con-
;rence in China.
China, which exports most of
I s excess oil to Japan, has reserves
\ lat have not been touched, and
| idustry is making a major effort to
icrease production. Mason, an
il exploration consultant said.
The country has more than
I nough equipment to get the job
t one, although “they might be

aid. "They’ve got all the litera-
jure, but it takes more than read-
; rig a book to know how to drill an
j>il well.”
Most of the drilling equipment
i n China is purchased from the
jj Jnited States, he said, though the
Story told
of American
testtube tot
M
country has been limited by fore
ign exchange constraints.
Mason said senior engineers,
geologists and vice ministers in
the Chinese government were
largely educated in the United
States. However, during a 15-year
period geologists and engineers
were trained in the Soviet Union,
a situation he claims is causing
senior Chinese officials some
worry.
Mason said there were “major
boo-boos” in Russian technology.
For example, “in the Russian idea
you find an oil field and immedi
ately begin to waterflood it.” He
explained that technology exists to
trace the water as it moves under
ground and the Russian method
leaves a lot of oil trapped beneath
the soil.
During the last 10 years,
however, the Chinese have sent
large numbers of junior engineers
and geologists to American and
European universities.
“As they learn to use the tools
they’ve got they will be as compe
tent as we are,” said Mason. He
noted the U.S. Geological Survey
had signed agreements to bring
groups of 20 to 30 Chinese geolog
ists and engineers to the United
States for four-month study ex
changes.

NEW YORK — America’s first
test-tube baby, a “perfect 9”
^ named Samantha Steel, was bom
,in England on Oct. 2 to a couple
1 that had been childless for 11
years, the Ladies Home Journal
. says.
I The Journal, which obtained
; the copyright story and pictures
> for its January issue, paid an un
disclosed fee to the parents, Jon
and Laurie Steel, as well as to test-
tube pioneer Dr. Patrick Steptoe,
who delivered the baby at his
Cambridge clinic.
Doctors who rated Samantha
1 according to the Apgar score — a
• l-to-9 rating to determine if a baby
has imperfections — gave her a
perfect score.
The Journal said Jon Steel’s first
words, after watching his wife’s
Caesarean section, were: “Saman
tha’s here. Laurie, she’s perfect."
The Steels came home in
November and are living on the
West Coast, the magazine said,
but editors would not disclose the
! location because of a pact to pro
tect their privacy.
Steel, a veterinarian, and his
wife, a violinist, had been child-
vs 11 years bticause Mrs. Steel
M.lVered an infection that damaged
her Fallopian tubes, the Journal
reported. Doctors told the couple
that Mrs. Steel would never be
able to conceive normally.
Steel was studying in England
when the couple first heard of
Steptoe and his success with -in-
vitro fertilization, a processes in
which an egg is taken from the
mother-to-be and combined in a
laboratory dish with sperm taken
from the father-to-be. The fertil
ized egg is then inserted into the
mother’s uterus where the fetus
develops.
The in-vitro (literally translated
as “in glass”) fertilization was per
formed for the Steels by Steptoe,
who worked with researcher
Robert Edwards to develop the
procedures used in the birth of the
world’s first test-tube baby —
Louise Brown, bom July 25, 1978,
in England.
The picture on the Journal’s
cover of mother and daughter was
taken just five days after the birth.
Under arrangements made last
June, Journal editor Myrna Blyth
said the Steels were paid a “not
large” sum for pictures and story
rights to the birth. When asked if
the amount was larger or smaller
than $20,000, she would not
answer.
Blyth also refused to say how
much Steptoe and the Steel’s doc
tor received for an accompanying
bylined article in the Journal. She
described the amount to Steptoe
as a smidgeon.
This year might be the turning
point for test-tube babies, Ed
wards said, in the British science
journal called Nature. He said 15
to 20 would probably be born in
the United Kingdom and Au
stralia.
A dozen medical centers in the
United States are beginning to try
the procedure. The first was at the
Eastern Virginia Medical School
in Norfolk, where a successful pre
gnancy Was announced in May
1981 with delivery expected in
January.
