OIL SUPPLY TO.
BE CONTROLLED
Within Two Weeks, Plan viii Be
Announced For Federal Super
vision Of the Entire
Industry.

United Press Leased Wire Service. ]
WASHINGTON, July BIN. A
Requa, director of Oil supply for the
fuel administration, expects within
two weeks to announce a plan for
federal control Of the oil industry
1t is desired to put the plan into
operation through voluntary action
OF producers and refiners, although
the operations Of the Lever bill are
available if needed
The plan is to eliminate competi-
ton through fixing prices Of crude
oil in the various fields and setting
maximum figure on bonuses. If
necessary to keep military needs of
the allied nations fully supplied, allo-
cation will be undertaken, as in the
case Of steel
1t is considered likely the industry
will shortly come into contact with
government regulation through the
necessity of applying for priority in
supplies and pipe. Old machinery
and supplies have been raked over,
but the end of this source is now in
sight
Requa intends to issue a series Of
price differentials for the products
Of the refinery based on the price OF
crude oil and moving in sympathy
with it.

SPRINGFIELD, ILL.,, July 31.-The
Office of the registrar of vital stats.
tics of Illinois is swamped with re-
quests for copies of official records
OF births. The present demand is due

"slackers" and the necessity of those
Of uncertain age to establish by Off

the draft age.
1t Is impossible for the state or
county authorities to satisfy more
than fifty percent Of the demands for
the reason that the attending doctor
or midwife, as the case may be, fail
ed to report the birth to the local
authorities.
The seriously embarrassing posi-
ton In which one whose birth has not
been recorded may be placed, is aptly

Of the rates in the future must look
ahead rather than behind, and the rates
must be SO adjusted as to suit the fut-
ure needs and credit OF the roads; the
properties must be nourished rather
than starved. Our public servants and
regulating bodies do not have q corner
on honesty and righteousness, and the
public is awakening to the fact, much
TO the relief of railroad executives.
The Sherman law should be repealed,
so far as it concerns the railways, in
order to cut out wasteful competition
and allow such coordination and uni
tication as may be possible and yet re-
tain the advantages of private owner-
ship and initiative.
There are other steps that it may
seem desirable for Congress- to take,
but would it not be better to take only
those that will without question in
sure good results? Let US refrain for
the time being from doing those things
that are questionable and which can
better be left for further observation
and study. 1t must be recognized that
the problem cannot be settled once for
ali and that it is essential that the
roads be maintained 1t the highest pos
sible standard in order to carry for
ward TIE development industrally ana
sSriculturally which is so vital to the
