OIL CONTROL PLAN
|. STUDY IS ORDERED
Attorney General Is Asked for
Opinion Regarding Legal.
ity of Proposal.

BY the Associated Press.
The announced plan Of the American
Petroleum Institute for control of pro-
duction Is to be investigated by both
the Department Of Justice and the Fed
eral Trade Commission.
Attorney General Mitchell has been
asked by Secretary Wilbur of the Inte-
rior Department for an opinion on the
legality of the plan under the antitrust
laws, and the Trade Commission plans
to study the Institutes curtailment pro-
gram on It's own initiative.
When announced, the plan was de-
scribed by the institute as having been
devised in compliance with the advice
of the Federal OH Conservation Board,
which includes the War, Navy, Com
merce and Interior Secretaries. That
board. Mr.. Wilbur, holds, can act only
in an advisory capacity, and any as
sistance the institute might obtain for
its program would have to come from
other agencies.
Program Is Not Announced.
Members of the board have withheld
comment on its program. It has been
proposed, however, that the president
of the institute and its general and re-
giOnal committee chairman meet here
with the board April 3. Meanwhile
officials who have studied its proposal
are inclined to regard it as one intended
to reduce production and storage costs
rather than to raise prices, and while
they see in it possibility Of higher
crude Oil prices, they think 1t unlikely
to affect gasoline and refined oil prices
very much, II at all.
Mr.. Wilbur's pronouncement was
made late yesterday after the close of
the first hearing by the oil conservation
committee Of the Interior Department
relative to the new oil conservation pol
icy laid down by President Hoover.
Appearing for the Texas Production
Co. before the conservation committee.
Edward M. Freeman said it had spent
100000 drilling on government land
in Mexico. He contended continuation
of that work should be allowed, and
that the company should be permitted
to work further If oil were found in
quantity.
Wilbur Withholds Comment.
Secretary Wilbur said until he had
finished q most minute study" of the
Petroleum Institute plan he did not
wish to discuss any of its details.
The OF conservation board has said
that reports indicated there was over
one-half billion barrels of oil in storage.
In January this year the Bureau of
Mines reported that over 6,500,0 900 bar
rels were added to storage, and pre-
liminary reports indicated that the total
for February would run we'll over 7,50O,-
600 barrels. During the first two months
of the year, the bureau found, oil COM
panies stored more than was stored
during the entire year of 1928. The
present storage is more than double the
amount needed as a normal oil reserve.

Enrique Liekens, Mexican consul at El

Thus far no attempt has been made
on the life of Gen. Gales, who has his

established themselves at Santa Rosalia,

Rebels Surrender as Pay Is Missing.
Government announcements said there
had been numerous SurrenderS OF rebels
who no longer wished to fight against
the government. News dispatches con-
cerning some Of these said the rebel
soldiers were paid neither Monday nor
