Zambesi River system to the Indian

Col. Stratham tells US that there are
now practically no buffalo left on

slaughtered by the Beers, one of
whom told me he knew where the

lived, but would take care to kill
them all right.

tribes, whom he describes as "relent-

methods of game destruction more
horrible than the actual loss of ami

PROBE
Senator King Says Big Oil
Companies Are Robbing
Government.
BY ROLAND KREBS,
International NewB Service.

The end of Senatorial search into
Harry F.. Sinclair's vast oil domain
is not nearly as close as the multi
millionaire holder of the Teapot
Dome lease may think.
Before the Senate Public Lands
Committee has done with poking
an explorative finger into Sinclair's
business and before the courts have
finished with him, plans made by
Senator King Oem) Of Utah. will
result in the likelihood Of another
inquiry into Sinclair's great oil
corporation.
King announced today that he in
tended to institute action to have
brought before the select Senate
committee investigation the thermal
Revenue Bureau the books and
papers that the bureau has, relative
to tax assessments against Sin.
clair's and other oil companies.
Taxes insignificant
Information given to me-" said
King rs to the effect that oil com
panses making millions in profits
pay insignificant thousands ir
taxes"
Asked what companies he had in
mind in seeking tax assessment
data, King said they were the Stan.
dard OIL Companies. the Sinclair
Oil Company and other corpora.
tons in Texas, Oklahoma and
Wyoming.
King has sought by questioning
8. A. Greenadge, amortization and
depletion engineer for the bureau,
to discover how OIL companies are
assessed, in view Of the difficulties
Of determining the value Of natural
oil resources not yet extracted from
the ground and whose quantity IL
unknown. Greenadge explained the
difficult method Of computation at
length, to Kings utter confusion.
Sees Plan to Rob
IAN I can make out Of it," the
Senator said, lis that it's q scheme
to rob the Government"
Whether the oil companies vel.
come such an inquiry King did not
say. Nor did he explain how he
would get access to their records,
since the bureau cannot make such
data public unless the taxpayer
consent.
King also announced that he in.
tended to ask Senator Watson Rep.)
Of indiana to write TO Secretary Of
the Treasury Mellon in an en-.
deavor to obtain the latter'e consent
to having Nelson Harrison, bureau
solicitor make recommendations to
the committee for improving the
bureau. Harrison has indicated he
will do it IL Secretary Mellon ap.
