 PRESIDENTIAL DUCK LAW

Declaring that conultions justl- fly the request of the Juneau Chamber of Commerce and other organizations for modification of the duck edict" of President Hoover another plea for a change in tie Presidential order was made recently. The matter was re-opened by Charles H. Flory, All aska Commissioner for the De- partment of Agriculture, at the request of the Juneau Chamber which to date has been unable to get any response from Washing ton authorities on it's petitions, according to the Empire.
 He declared curtailment to the month of September was regarded in many sections as entirely too drastic and that the refusal of Alaska's nearest Canadian neigh bor, British Columbia, to curtail the season on the same game birds had aggravated the local situation. He pointed out that some localities would be deprived by the Presidents order of the only available source of meat sup ply, and cause serious reduction in the already too meager food supply.

INDIANA STANDARD
TO SUE STANDARD
OIL OF COLORADO

The Standard Oil Company of In

of Immediately bringing suit to de-
termine whether a company called
''the Standard Oil Company of Colo
RADIO" can legally use the words "Stan-
dard Oil' in it's name.
This action is being taken, it was
stated, as the result of reports re-
ceived from numerous persons in the
middle west who have been solicited
to buy stock in the Colorado concern.
The STANDARD Oil Company of Colo
rado," Indiana company officials said,
is in no way connected with or spon-
sored by the Standard of Indiana or
any other of the old group of STAN
dard Oil companies. That this fact
is not generally understood by the
public, however, is indicated by in
quiries Standard of Indiana has re-
ceived from investors approached in
the stock-selling undertaking.
Standard of Indiana officials said
they did not undertake to Judge the
reliability of the Standard Oil Com
pany of Colorado, but were making
their disclaimer of connection between
it and their company solely because
it was apparent that the use of the
name STANDARD Oil" by the Colorado
company was confusing the public.
They said they would be glad to have
Information of any claim made by
representatives of the Colorado con-
Germ or any others to the effect that
that company was in any manner con-
nected with Standard of Indiana.
