Production Cuts Urged in
Oil Report as Aid to
Industry.
By United Press

BIZ United Press
WASHINGTON, Nov. ga de-
creased demand of 16 per cent for
gasoline manufactured in the United
States for the period from Oct. l,
1881, to June 80, 1882, was predicted
today by the voluntary committee
on petroleum economics in a report
to the federal oil conservation board.
The committee also estimated
that demand for crude oil during
the samee nine months would show
a drop of 81 per cent. United
States demand for gasoline was es-
timated at 289,0O0000 barrels for
the period, an increase of 10 per
cent as compared with the same pc
Rod last year.
Foreign demand for United States
produced gasoline was placed at
30,945,000 barrels, a decrease of 1872
per cent from thee 1927, 900 bar
rels purchased on the nine months
period ending June 80 this year.
Supply on Increase
Crude oil demand of the United
States was placed by the commit
tee at 633, 100000 barrels, a decrease
of 80 per cent for the nine months.
The committee expects, however
that substantial increase in crude
oil exports will partially counter
balance this decrease in domestic
crude oil demand, leaving a total
decrease of 81 per cent.
The board estimated an increase
Of SO per cent in the crude oil sup
ply to be drawn during the nine
months period from domestic
sources, with a drop of 38 per cent
in import supply and a practical
cessation of supplies drawn from
storage.
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1931-11-09
Production Cut Urged

The committee recommended to
the oil conservation board further
curtailment of United States fuel
oil production as essential to the
maintenance of economic stocks"
The committee pointed out that
although gas oil and fuel oil pro-
duction this year, has for each
month except August, been less
than for the corresponding months
of 1880, the stocks of these oils have
been increasing. This condition,
the committee adds, is caused by a
decline in fuel demand. In view of
this decline in fuel oil demand the
committee recommended the manu-
facture of relatively more gasoline
and less fuel oil from the crude
petroleum refined in the United
States.

Senator ReneWS Demand for
Inquiry Into Case of
H. L. GoIdhurSt.

Senator Glass, Democrat of Virginia,
in repeating his demand for Depart
ment Of Justice inquiry into the Gold
hurst case, said yesterday at his
Lynchburg, Va, home that bribery Of
New York Federal Court officials is
now admitted" in the case OF Harry
L. Goldhurst, convicted broker.
He also emphasized that he had no
reference to Miss Ellamarye Failor,
who was an assistant to former Dis
trict Attorney Charles H. futile OF
New York. Miss Failor has Joined in
asking an inquiry.
Was Bishops Broker.
Goldhurst was the broker for Bishop
James Cannon, IT,, in the Southern
Methodist churchman's stock market
dealings. He was convicted Of using
the mails to defraud, and has been
recommended for parole. Glass wrote
to Attorney General Mitchell 1nquiring
into the terms Of the Goldhurst parole.
1.-THE real point Of my letter to the
Department Of Justice" Senator Glass
said yesterday, was not as to whom
or how many in District Attorney
Tuttle's office were bribed in the Gold
hurst case, but as to the covert mean
the obvious attempt to shield from ex-
posture q culprit Of somewhat more inn
portance than a bucketshop keeper.
THAT there was bribery Of court Of
fcials is now admitted. That there
was concealment Of discriminating let
tiers Is now revealed. That the reported
terms of an alleged promise Of parole
have been carried out Is Of record. That
the United States district attorney, aft
er publicly proclaiming his opposition
to parole of this bucket-shop convict,
subsequently recommended for parole,
and was joined by the Federal judge Of
the district, Is also in positive proof.
Wants Story Told.
'I am told by his assistant that the
district attorney was familiar with
every detail of this sordid crime, IN
volving the payment Of S., 900 in money,
with gifts Of diamonds and other ex-
pensive things. The Federal judge
should have been acquainted with the
facts, since the record was right under
his nose. Instead Of indicting the
criminal, these od1cialS advocated his
liberation.
81 trust Miss Failor will persist in her
avowed purpose to tell the Department
of Justice the whole startling story as
she related 1t to me on Friday Of last
week"

HOOVER TO IGNORE
FEARS,HURLEY SAYS
Politics viii Not SWerve
| President From Plan to
Ask Tax Raise.

Fears for his political future will
not swerve President Hoover from pro-
posing an increase in taxes, Patrick j.
Hurley, Secretary of War, said last
night in an address in New York be-
fore the New York State Chamber OF
Commerce, according to Associated
Press dispatches.
IT have been told that If the Presi-
dent proposes an increase in taxes he
will not be reelected" Mr.. Hurley told
the New York business organization.
MY answer to that is that the Pres
tdent is more concerned with the vel
fare of this Nation and its $4,000, 900
inhabitants than he is with his own
political future" he added.
BIames Congress for Deficit.
Secretary Hurley said nearly alr' Of
the present Treasury deficit was Gre
ated by measures vetoed by the
President and passed over his veto by
Congress" He predicted more at
tempted raids on the Treasury" in
Volving billions of dollars at the APP
preaching Congress, and served notice
that Mr.. Hoover will oppose them with
clear-minded determination"
The only way to meet the present
deficit" he said, SIS to reduce appro-
priationS and expenditures of the Gov
eminent and to evolve more equitable
and reliable basis of taxation"
The fact that the present tax system
IS largely based on profits" Hurley
maintained, results in serious weak
ness in the stability OF the finances OF
the Government III periods of stress and
depression"
Sees Congress Support.
He predicted the President would
have the support of both Democratic
and Republican leaders In his flscal
policies.
This is not partisan question" he
said.
Discussing Mr.. Hoover'S international
policy Hurley remarked that some adj
miniStration opponents have talked
about European 'entanglements.
I'VE have made no political entangle-
ments in Europe" he asserted. I'VE
will make none.
I'VE are entangled in the economic
welfare Of Europe to the extent that
the prices of wheat and cotton and the
employment Of our citizens at home,
and the stability of our banks depend
to some measure on the re-eStabliSh-
ment of confidence and the economic
stability of Europe.
Disentanglement Is Aim.
I'VE became politically entangled in
Europe Is years ago and the President
has been steadily securing our disen-
tanglement. In fact, one of the chief
problems Of the President today is to
disentangle U.s."
The Hoover moratorium was under
taken partly for the selfish interest"
Of the United States, he said, on the
ground that collapse of a foreign ma
ton would have repercussions here.
Calling attention to the visits of
Premier Laval of France and Foreign
Minister Grandi of Italy, Hurley said
President Hoover has "re-established
the prestige of the United States
abroad" and has made no political
commitments to any nation.

RUBIO.


MEXICO CITY, November 20 (P.-
The twenty-flrst anniversary of the
Mexican revolution has transcendental
Importance to Mexico, as it means the
new government has come OF age. The
revolution has reached the equivalent
of manhood.
It has passed the period OF resort to
arms and force, and today there is not
a single problem Of military character
in the country.
The continuity Of the revolutionary
government uninterrupted since the
middle of 1914, is evident proof OF its
Solidity and political consolidation.
No Longer Cropping.
We no longer are hesitatingly CROP
ing for guidance and well wishes OF the
people toward solidification and orienta-
ton in carrying out the Invocation and
reforms necessary, because this has been
accomplished; We know now where we
are going and which road to follow.
The economic transformation Of the
Nation having been realized, our efforts
now are focused on the humaniZation OF
labor conditions, and toward the fairest
possible distribution Of wealth, which
goal is indispensable In accomplishing
the economic and social equilibrium Of
our people.
Economy and Security.
A basis of national economy and Sc
curity founded more on work and re-
suits than on aleatory riches has been
established, and we now are progressing
toward nationalism Of a pacific char
acter, so Shorn clean of aggreSSiveneSS
and inspired alike by duty to the people,
an aim Of searching ourselves for reali-
cation Of our needs and developing Of
our essential qualities, In order to sue
coed in occupying our own modest posi-
ton and contributing our share to the
progress and betterment of the world.
The revolution has passed its infant
and adolescent stages. It has entered
its majority and its goal now is to work
with force and patience for the ample
development and betterment of the re-
public, to succeed in the realization OF
the necessities and aspirations Of the
Mexican people.
