LEGION PROGRAM MUCH ENLARGED
Community Service One of Things to Be Taken Up

Stamford, Feb. P>-The Ameri- can Legion will be an object of even greater public interest this year than in the past, because its program in cludes more obpectives than ever before in which the people are vital ly interested, Howard P. Savage, na- tional commander of the Legion. said today at a gathering of legion naires in his honor.
 The legion has set for itself this year especially the tasks of com- munity service.' he said, successful completion of the pilgrimage to France next September, continued increase in membership, and the car rying on of our efforts in legislation and rehabilitation for aid and care of our disabled comrades and the needy dependents of former service men,"
 Quoting the substance of a resolu- ton adopted at the Philadelphia convention last October on com munity work, he went on:
 If every post signalizes the year with service to its community, the legion thereby will have served all the states and consequently the na- ton itself.
 The particular form ot neighbor- ly helpfulness is left entirely to the individual post. Only the post can determine what that task shall be. X service to the community in one place would not be a service in an- other.
 More than 50 million Americans will be affected by the municipal swimming pools, community play grounds. libraries, parks and the | hundred and one other activities that will result from the concentration of the entire organizations efforts in this work this year. l sincerely be- lieve that community service is a field in which the legion should la bor as long as 1t exists"

OF
OIL RESOURCES
IS CONSIDERED

WASHINGTON, Dec 10 tP-The
task of mapping out a legislative pro-
gram to curb over production and
waste in the petroleum industry was
undertaken today by the federal oil
boards committee of nine, which met
and organized here. It's membership
consists of three representatives of the
interior department, three of the Pc
troleum institute and three of the

fore which appeared Secretaries Will

Hoover, and Work, the committee
elected Henry M. Bates, dean of the
law school of the University of Michl-
gan, as chairman, and went into exec
utiVe session to determine policy
Secretaries Wilbur and Davis urged
the committees to take some definite
action to curb present waste in the
production of oil as both the army and
navy depend largely on petroleum. Not
only national defense, they declared,
but the entire life of the nation is af-
fected
Secretary Hoover said that he was
interested intensely in the work of
the committee, as commerce had come
to depend on oil transportation. He
Offered all the information collected
by the bureau of mines.
Secretary Work, after approving the
manner in which the members of the
committee had been safeguarded
against hasty action by orders to re-
port back to the bar association and
the petroleum institute before taking
a definite stand, urged that immediate
and comprehensive action be taken
s'More Whole-hearted cooperation of
the oil industry is needed" he assert
ed 1.-THE reproduction of the past
year is danger signal to the coun-
try that our resources are being vast
ed and something must be done,
Whether it be by legislation or by 9TH
er means, this committee should de-
ternnine."
The committee after its executive
session. announced it had adopted the
following resolution to govern it's fu-
tlre policy:
ssThat this committee will welcome
all constructive suggestions that may
be offered by persons within or with
out the petroleum industry, relative to
the conservation of gas and oil and
the maintenance of ground reserves
thereof, and accordingly it is further
resolved, that the committee invite
such suggestions, in writing, in that
regard to be sent to the secretary of
the committee"
The committee adjourned to meet
again at the call of the chairman. It
was decided, however, that commenc-
ing January %, public hearings will
be conducted to develop the views of
persons desiring to present suggestions
orally.
