ESTIMATES U. S. HAS OIL
TO LAST ONLY 20 YEARS

Washington, D. c, Sept Launch
ing into a fourth days attack on the
land leasing bill, senator La Toilette.
Republican. Wisconsin, critisised es-
pecially the provision authorizing the
granting Of 20 year term leases for
oil lands, declaring that according to
estimates the country's oil supply viii
have been exhausted in % years.
Upon the motion Of senator Jones.
New Mexico, the senate adopted an
amendment by which persons who are
now working locations on oil land,
but who have not yet discovered oil,
would be permitted TO continue 70 OPP
crate without being required TO take
out prospecting permits. The amend
ment resulted from protests from New
Mexico that passage OF the bill as
proposed would result in great finan-
cial loss to prosecutors.
