Holds Interest
The Sinclair corporation has never
lost its interest in Mexico. said Mr..
Watts, pointing out that the COM
pany is one of the few that have
maintained their normal organiza-
ton here during the periods of low
production. Sinclair interests are
rated third in Mexico. The corpo-
ration, said Watts, although ii Is
greatly interested in Venezuela and
other fields. has always maintained
that conditions in Mexico would
before long make possible the re-
newed activity that the Sinclair in
terests are now planning.
Watts sees an indication of a fav-
o-able petroleum policy In Mexico
IN the fact that the government Is
closely studying world petroleum
production Mexico at present is
ten years behind in wildcat develop
ment, however, in the opinion OF
Watts.
Accompanying Watts are Major
NJ. J. Anthoni, and E. (. Swift of
the company's legal staff; W. G.

Sinclair interests in Mexico. and
Miguel Cardenas. Sinclair Mexico
City representative.

The Southeast Washington Citizens
Association, meeting in the Southeast
Branch of the Public Library, Seventh
and d streets southeast, last night
adopted resolution introduced by r..
j. Jones, asking that preference be
given qualified unemployed residents of
the District when selections were made
Tor jury service. The adopted resolu-
ton also requested the age limit for
those serving as jurymen be advanced

proposed resolution would somewhat re-
neve the unemployment situation in
this city. A copy was requested sent
to the Jury Commission.

Stating that the two portions of
South Carolina avenue southeast, ex-
tending from the crossing of Pennsyl-
Vania avenue and Eighth street to Sew
enth street, and from the same cross
ing to Ninth street, are not used enough
to justify upkeep, G. G. Degman intro
duced q resolution asking that these
sections be closed as thoroughfare and
In conjunction with two small triangle
parks the area be converted into a
children's playground. The resolution
also asked for erection of a comfoS.
station at the aforesaid crossing at

luton, which was adopted by the aSso-

prtation is now insufficient to enable
