tween the Standard Oil company
OF New York and the Royal Dutch

A. S. Debenham, representative Of
Sir Henri Deterding, managing di-
rector of the Royal Dutch Shell
group.
He declined to discuss the charge
by Sir Henri that Standard contracts
to purchase oil from the soviet gov
ernment which he said had been
Iconfiscated was responsible for the
dispute between the companies. His
only comment regarding Russia was
that the country was rapidly attain

important world factors in the oil
industry"
Debenham, a director OF the Ais
attic Petroleum company Of London,
a Royal Dutch subsidiary, said he
was here primarily to learn the
exact status of future production by
American interests.
'The cause of the lowered prices
is due to your oyer-produetion he
said, "and until this condition is
adjusted. there will remain the
price difficulty. It is a question

7 BODIES FOUND.
IN AUTO WRECK

LOS ANGELES, Sept. 19.-The
mystery of the disappearance of
Albert La Huis, retired banker of
iceland, Mich. and his wife, ap-
preached solution today, following
the discovery on the Ridge Route
highway, "A miles north of here, of
a wrecked automobile, containing a
body believed to be that of the cap
italist. The machine plunged down
a 1,O00-foot precipice at the side of
the road.
Deputy sheriffs, under whose di-
rection the mans body was extri-
Gated from the wreckage, reported
that a second body, that of wom-
an. was also there, but they were
unable to disentrangle it before
darkness put a stop to their efforts.
A squad of officers today will
reach the spot where the wrecked
car is located to recover the wom-
ans body.
Although no indication of a third
body was noted, it is believed likely
the remains of Fred j. Walter, of
La Jolla, who accompanied Mr.. and
Mrs. La Huis, may also be con-
tanned in the wreckage.
Walters drove the couple from
their hotel at Bakersfield last Au-
gust IS, the auto trip being pre-.
