Excess production Of an expendiblc resource like
petroleum is never advantageous. Too often the small

creased profits. Moreover. the reduction in price Of
crude oil at the well only in part reaches the buyer
Of gasoline at the filling station, and the lowered prie-

in future years By the much higher prices incident to
depleted supply.

consequent far-reaching economic disturbance, accom-

Publicity seeking judges and lawyers

mittee on press relations reported
today to the annual convention of
the American Bar Association.
1T Is plain that the worst evils
OF sensationalism in reporting trials
would be impossible" the report
said, "if all judges had q proper re-
gpect for their courts and exercised
the power which they possess.
Much blame also attaches to
publicity seeking prosecutors and
10 defense lawyers. Unless lawyers
gave out improper statements and.
judges permitted perversions OF the
right to publish judicial proceedings,
there would be comparatively little
TO complain Of.
The bar has come to appreciate
that its chief role is not to criticise
editors but to assert q right stand
