considerable care. He crossed the

producers here said:
"The idea that congress would even
consider placing the crude oil produc.

great disadvantage by taking off
the counteryailing duty on crude oil
Is NOT believed by the thousands OF
men who are engaged in exploring

oil brought to the surface. The stand.
ard oil cOmpany's chiot interest Is in
the refining of the oil. The removing
of the countervailug duty on crude
