Continued Plenty Not Assured.

The unprecedented flood of oil dur
ing the past year cannot be construed
as forecast of continued plenty, the
Secretary said, but rather, and very
properly, should be viewed as an
unnecessary draft upon the Nations
reserve.
Speaking for the Federal Oil Con.
servation Board. of which he is chair
man, the Secretary expressed hope
that the committee would determine
upon a constructive program in the
interest of practical conservation of
the country's resources.
There are several schools of con.
flicting thought concerning legisla-
tion," he declared. Both the pro.
ponents and opponents of each are
leaders in their fields, and all are
entitled TO respectful attention
Whether the Federal Government
possesses power to legislate concern
ing petroleum productions: whether
the antitrust laws should he amend.
ed; whether State laws should be
amended to a definite degree of uni
forn1ity, are the questions this COM
mittee doubtless will consider"
Federal Boards Aim.
The Federal board considers the
pihtGL OI unupfHfOu00
rights and the relief of competitive
pressure as the principal factor in
actual conservation, said the Secre.
tary, adding:
IF you can devise a substitute for
the present legal procedure, which
now expresses the primitive instincts
of the chase, something that is more
in keeping with presentday engineer
ing and economic knowledge and the
national responsibility of our future,
then you will have performed task
of constructive craftsmanship.
Excess production of an expendible
resource like petroleum is never ad-
vantageous, Secretary Work said
Too often the small operator is forced
to the wall, he contended while the
large corporation suffers only de.
| creased profits.
Partial Profit to Consumer.
The reduction of crude oil at the
well only in part reaches the con-
sumner, he maintained, and the lowered
price will eventually be offset by
higher prices incident to depleted sup.
ply.
This cooperative committee of en-.
gineers, lawyers and Government rep
resentatives,' he concluded, should
consider only legislation the purpose
of which would be to protect our oil
deposits against rapid depletion and
the public against future high prices
OF those oil products that must be
continued to be dominant factors in
our industrial and social life.'

WORK DISCUSSES
OIL CONSERVATION
Urges WhoIe-hearted Co.
operation by Executives in
Addressing Federal Board.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Opening the session of the newly
formed legislative committee of the
Federal Oil Conservation Board today,
Secretary Work pictured an urgent
need for more whole-hearted co-opera-
ton" by oil company executives actu-
ated by a more thorough realization
of the common interest in conserva-
ton of petroleum resources.
The committee composed Of. nine
members-three from the Govern
ment, three from the oil industry and
three from the American Bar Associa-
tion-assembled at the suggestion of
Secretary Work. That such a com
mittee was needed to study possible
legislation for the conservation of
petroleum and the elimination of pro.
duction waste was unquestioned, he
declared.

CALIFORNIA HAS
SECOND
STORM THUS FAR

LOS ANGELES, Feb. is (P).-A sec
ond storm, which had been predicted
by the weather bureau as likely to
bring more heavy rain to southern
California today, failed to materialize.
A few shafts of sunshine occasionally
penetrated this heavy clouds, which
failed to precipitate much more than a
mist, and the territory which during
the first four days of the week had
been widely damaged by floods from
ten-inch rainfall continued to re-
pair roads and bridges.
The death toll was increased by one
to total of 2S when Hemet, in the
San Jacinto foothills, reported the
drowning Wednesday night of Fl. w
Webster, rancher, in raging tor
rent.
Opinion seems to be general that
the storm damage would be about off
set by great increase in crops and their
qualities due to the heavy rainfall
which soaked the soil more than full.
Unofficial estimates placed the damage
in this area at $2,500,000.
Railroads are on normal schedules
today with the exception of the South
ern Pacific line to Indio and Brawley
in the Imperial valley, and San Diego
nections.
is yet without rail or highway con-
The line to the Imperial valley suf-
fered washouts in the mountain sec
tions, which probably will not be en-
tirely repaired until tomorrow night.
The rainfall of the last Is hours is
reported as varying from .01 to .O7
inches in and about Los Angeles, with
the result that mountain sections
which last night made their first re-
ports and were revealed to be still in
badly flooded conditions today, saw
the waters falling rapidly.
Rivers in central California are still
running bank full. The Kings river
was at flood stage for few hours and
the San Joaquin river was reported ap-
preaching that stage. Cold weather is
predicted, and it is expected the flow
will be more normal.

PUSH LIQUOR ACROSS
 RID CYANIDE IN TUBS

SAN ANTONIO, March 16. P)- Every conceivable device from worn out washtubs to airplanes is being used by rum runners on the Mexican border to get their contraband across the Rio Grande River into Texas, according to Ed Cotul1a, deputy col Hector of customs here. !. Most of the liquor coming across the border, Cotulla declared, is being brought by individuals, or small com pines of smugglers.
 The Rio Grande is navigab1e only, in spots and boating is forbidden by treaty. The river is so shallow in places, however, that it is easy to send a mule and horse caravan across with load of liquor. Four airplanes have been captured recent ly on the American side when forced
 down.
 i At night, Cotulla said, many a
 Mexican earns his. living by simply.
 filling an old tub with bottles of liq-
 uor, launching it on the river near
 some town, and then pushing it to
 the Texas side by wading and swim ming behind it.

CREWS OF 14 VESSELS CAUGHT IN STRAITS QUIT-SHIPS DE-

SAULT ST. MARIE, Mich, March 16. (P)-An ice-locked fleet of IA steel ships lies deserted, awaiting spring, in the lower channel of the great straits which connect Lake Superior and Lake Huron.
 Crews of steam tugs rushed in early winter to the ice-blocked St. Mary's river to release 15O freighters. The blockade cost ship owners half a mil lion dollars, and temporarily increased the population of "the Soo" by some 2,00O sailors.
 But while the tugs were rescuing the steamers locked in the St. Mary's, the lower channel blockaded, and the crews of the vessels made captive have deserted and scattered, leaving their craft solid in the grip of winter.
 Storms which have lashed Lake Su- perior repeatedly this winter have menaced delayed freighters, prevent ed protection of a solid formation in the ice, and threatened to make dere- licts of several of the finest vessels on the lakes. The City of Bangor, auto mobile transport, which went aground
