CURTAILMENT IS
URGED In GAS
OUTPUT OF i. s

WASHINGTON. Nov. 8. (U.P)-
Production of gasoline should be
curtailed by seven per cent from
the estimated October rate of sup
ply to provide the industry with
maximum profits. the committee
Of petroleum economies reported
today to Secretary of Interior Will
bur.
The committee said that demand
for gasoline for the next six months
ending March 81, 1881, probably
will not exceed that of a year ago
and may even be less.
The committee believes that it
would be desirable for the industry
70 adjust its operations to an un-
changed gasoline demand as a
maximum, the report said The
industry is not operating on a basis
scared to 2 seven per cent increase
in gasoline consumption.
A curtailment to balance a break
oven demand for gasoline will re-
Quirc reduction of seven per
cent from the estimated October
rate of gasoline supply. if gas
cline inventories next spring are
lot to exceed 100000 barrels"
The committee estimated that a
reduction Of seven percent in the
gasoline supply would provide a
domestic crude oil production of
22 27C,C0 barrels p day
The committee said that a pro-
duction of this amount when COR
rectcd for estimated coverage.
would become 2,24O.OO0 barrels a
Gay. 1t said this latter production
could be allocatcd as follows: CAL
lfornia. $4,000: Oklahoma. 535 900;
Texas. $4,000; and all other states
45l 900
The committees report pointed
out that while 10 per cent of our
total supply of oil is imported Is
per cent is exported.

Heroic Attempt To Save

PESCADERC. Calf. Nov. 8. UP)
"A weary crew Of as men, ex-
hausted by many hours Of graelling
labor in the face Of stinging spray
and icy gale, early this morning
refused to abandon the Richfield
tanker Taniahua, being pounded
to pieces in the grip Of Pescadero
leef.
AT midnight attempt to save
The tanker from its precarious pos
i.ion failed dismally when a

It was the only line daring sea
men had been able to secure the
, tanker Although tugs and coast
guard cutters dispatched to the
scene succeeded time after time in
casting cables aboard the Tamia-
nua, their efforts were frustrated
by the heavy sWellS that shook them
loose again.
! Despite the fact that the Vessel
had been in distress for more than
81 hours and steadily resisted all
efforts to frc it, sailors message
ashore they would stay aboard un-

New hope was aroused when
word WAS received that the

/ The bottom Of the Tamiahua

while the engine room was flooded

DEFINITE ACTION
IS EXPECTED ON
FEDERAL LOANS
Berkeley Bankers viii
Spend Three Days AT
District Here.

Probability that there will be deti-
mite action looking toward re-entry
Of the federal farm loans in I'M
perial Valley loomed again today
with the announcement at irrlga-
ZION district headquarters that the
entire directorate of the Federal
Land Bank at Berkeley will spend
! three days in the valley next week
! in conferences and inspection tours
Us guests of the district.
The directors and officers OF the
district will meet with the banking
group early Tuesday morning at
breakfast, according to plans. Fol-
! lowing there will be lengthy discus
sions and reports relative to VALLEY
conditions as affecting long time
| federal loans.
During the visit Of bankers there
will be trips to various parts OF the
irrigation system to inspect drain
age work One trip will include the
protective works along the Colorado
IN Mexico.
Headed by President W. D Ellis
the banking group will include: Dl-
! rectors r. L. Adams, Wilson, Smith
! Gull, and Engineer Russell, all OF
! the Federal Land Bank at Berkeley
The irrigation district has spent
considerable time recently IN com
munications with President Ellis
! explaining to him that many OF the
| conditions that have hitherto caused
| the bank to withhold loans here
! have been rcmedied.
Chief among those objections
have been the flood danger.
drainage difficulties, and lack OF
soil infOrms ton. With the start
Of construction at Boulder Dam,
the first menace is removed, for
complete engineering data in
possession of the district proves
| conclusively that serious flood
| condition cannot occur within
the next several years, but that
the whole danger has been a
cumulative one in which the
only fear has been that an un-
regulated river would ultimately
top the levee system.
! Chief Engineer NJ. j. DoWd OF th'
district will undertake to show tn
bankers that the present levee sEs
TEN is fully competent to handle tn
protection demands until the BouI
der Dam is built Another tacto
in changing the flood danger sltua
ton has been the building of Coo!
ldge Dam on the Gila, by which
flash floods from that stream arr
now greatly reduced
Such considerations as the rise II
market value of district bonds owe
a period of several years; reduction
of the bonded debt of the dlStrlc
. through prompt payment OF eaci
installment; new and authoritative
data on All-American canal cost
and power revenues from the canal
vast reductions in flood control ex
penditures that are assured with tn
building of Boulder Dam, compre
hcrsive programing OF dralnag
work; increasing of productloi
through proper drainage, and pros
pective lowering of expenditures TO
silt control, are all to be embraced
