By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
TULSA, Okla, April ga more
hopeful diagnosis of the oil industry's
ills came today from E. B. Reeser, presi-
dent of the American Petroleum Insti-
tute, to bolster predictions of others
that the oil business probably would re-
cover sooner than other ailing indus
tries.
THE oil industry" Reeser said, isn't
SO sick as it appears to be-"
In support of that view, he called at
tention to the fact that the industry has
been drawing upon stocks to supply de-
mand, a condition which he described
as highly encouraging"
At the same time, however, he made it
plain he considered the induStryS pres
ent economic illness the most serious in
its history.
The institute head declared co-opera-
ton within the industry could have pre-
vented SO severe an illness and would
be necessary in effecting cure.
Should Stand United.
"It seems impossible" he said "for
the industry to cooperate. A striking
example has been our failure to coop
crate in receiving full posted prices for
oil in various fields. One of the weak
nesses in our price structure is due to
the fact that relatively small amounts
of crude oil have moved to re1neriss at
less than posted prices.
Producers should stand united for
the posted prices in their districts.
IT'S amazing to me to find the indie
pendent producer yielding to conditions
which are gradually wiplng him out.

REESER HOPEFUL FOR EARLY
RECOVERY FOR OIL INDUSTRY
Head of American Petroleum Institute
Believes Cooperation Greatest
Present Need of Producers.

MANY say we can't help ourselves,
but I believe we can. We can't nope 10
get higher prices SO long as some pro-
ducers are willing to sell under the pre-
vailing posted prices"
Reeser advanced unitization-a new
plan which calls for cooperative de-
velopment OF an oil-producing area
through a pooling of acreage-as offer
ing the means of achieving marked
progress toward economic sterilization
Of the industry. Untitled operations
eliminate hasty and extravaganza drill
ing with an excessive number of wells
and dry holes.
Sees Utilization as Help.
ut will take a long time to make
unitization of genuine practical bene-
fit" he said, but l believe there are
many instances where small operators
can benefit from the plan
He said his company-the Barnsdau
Corporation, of which he Is president
had engaged in unit operations in sew
eral areas and the advantages had been
well worth while.
Proration of crude oil production,
Reeser said, must continue if the in
dustry is to be put on its way toward
better times.
Il believe he have had sufficient proof
lately that we must have proratlon,'
he said. This statement may be dis
puted. but I'm firmly Of the opinion
that Oklahoma oil producers can make
more money with the States production
limited to 100000 barrels daily than
they could with an allowed output OF
100000 barrels daily"

RUMORS PERSIST
OF STEEL MERGER
Reports Follow Reelection to Sheet

YOUNGSTOWN, Ohio, April o.
Rumors of new merger negotiations in
the steel industry persisted today in the
wake of the Youngstown Sheet & Tube
Co. meeting, which yesterday reelected
to its board representatives of the mi
ncrity faction which blocked the COM
pany's merger with Bethlehem Steel
Corporation.

however for reports that a new merger
agreement may be worked out between
Bethlehem and the Youngstown COM
p3ny, or that long discussed combina-

The present zinc producers have been
using every possible means to cut down
production of zinc for over year and
stocks are still high, demand Is small
and statistical position of the metal I'M

after the official announcement, they
pointed out that in the first place what
their industry needed was higher prices
for zinc, thousands of tons of which are
on hand above ground.
They added that they do not need to

already are in a position to turn out

no need to utilize low-grade ores at

ing the same methods which have been

LOANS INCREASED
BY CREDIT BANKS
Business Up to S93,0O0,000
in 1890 Against $32,000,000
During Year 1929.

The IL Federal intermediate Credit
Banks increased their commodity loans
during 1880 to 500 900 600, as compared
with $32,o00,0O0 in 1929, according to
figures made public today by Charles
r. Dunn. fiscal agent
In a statement accompanying his re-
port Mr.. Dunn calls attention to the
fact that although the banks can make
commodity leans on agricultural prod
ucts approved by the Federal Farm
Loan Board not to exceed, by law, IS
per cent, the percentage by actual
practice does not run beyond 65 per
cent He also points out that ample
provisions are made in the loan agree
ment to protect the banks against de-
clines in prices and that the business
now on the books of the intermediate
banks is based on the low market value
of agricultural products.
THE discounting of farmers notes
from agricultural credit corporations,
live stock loan corporations and ma
tional or State banks also increased in
1880 over the previous year" states Mr..
Dunn. These agencies must in tho
first instance have the proper capital
structure before the Federal inter-
mediate Credit Banks can do business
with them and in addition to the in
dorSenent of the ClScountlng agency,
except in the case Of national or State
banks, collateral security to at least
one and one-half times the value OF
the discounts is required. AS a fur
Their protection it is the practice of the
Federal Intermediate Credit Banks to
insist that the corporations invest a
certain amount of their capital in
highly liquid securities which are de-
posted with the banks as additional Sc
curity against discounts.
1.-THE Federal intermediate Credit
Banks make loans or discounts for an
intermediate period and the business
on their books at the present time has
been based on the low market value of
agricultural products. All of the capt.
tai of these banks is subscribed to by
the United States Treasury, and as only
$50 100000 has been paid in there is
still $4,000 600 available which can be
called at any time on 80 days notice. y

ZINC FEELS EFFORT
TO HELP IS BLOW
Industry Regards Cheaper
Production Process as Set
back at Present.
BY ]. C. ROYLE.

The zinc industry, battered down by
successive blows of business depression
and weakened by a lack of condition
due to overproduction feels it has had
another kick in the Stats.
mo, no." say the scientists Of the
Bureau of Mines. I'VE were just help
ing you up"
The industry and the scientists agree,
however, that the prospects for material
advances in the price Of zinc, now how
ering around the low point touched In
scores of years, are extremely slim.
The situation came about through
announcement by R. S. Dean, chief en-
gineer of the metallurgical division of
the bureau, of process invented by C..
G. Maier, metallurgiSt at the Pacific
experimentation of the bureau, for zinc
reduction by the use of methane or nat
ural gas.
Reduces Fuel Cost.
This process, it is claimed, will pro-
duce zinc as pure as that secured by
the electrolytic method and at the same
time reduce production costs and allow
larger production since lower grades Of
ore can be utilized. The reduction m
costs depends to some extent on the
use of large size direCt-acting reduction
units. 1t is held that the use of methane

those are threatened with obsolescence.
The producers make 1t pretty clearly
evident that they have no desire to
scrap their heat and retort plants now
in operation and replace them with
metEare plants even II the latter
method OF production is cheaper.
Doesn't Impress Producers
The bureau Is smoothing down the
rufled producers by pointing out that
the new method has not been used COM
mercially and that it may be some time
before II comes into commercial use. 1t
may he, they assert, that it may not
come into use until the present period
of low prices is past and stocks have de-
clined and demand revived. The big
argument. however, is that even cheaper
prices would enhance demand for the
metal and lead to development of addi-
tlCnai Uses
This does not unduly impress the
producers. for they indicate that. al
though zinc is lower than it has been
for 30-years. and that in 1880 the aver
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1931-04-29

age price was only 4.S cents pound,
this did not serve to spur demand or
lead TO additional uses. In fact. the
zinc industry has had some severe blows
in late years by development of new
types of paint and lacquer. which re-
duced use of zinc by paint manufac-
turerS. 1t Is hoped by the bureau that
cheaper prices will lead to additional
use in galvanization. which now ac
counts for most of the metal consumed.

made with proceeds of a recent $25,-
100000 bond issue.
AS to the other merger rumor OBJ
servers here see grave difficulties in the
way of combining Republic and Inland.
Republic stock is selling around IA,
while Inland is about 81. 1t is pointed
out that Republic stockholders, in view
of the possible enhancement of their
holdings as the newly merged corpora
ton reapS the benefits of its consolida-
ton economies, would hardly care to
make a trade on the present market
basis.
