PETROLEUM INDUSTRY
DIVIDED ON TAX PLAN
By the Associated Press.

by the Associated Press.
The petroleum industry is a house
divided against itself with respect to
the proposed tax of l cent a gallon
on imported crude oil and its products.
A recent effort made by the Ameri-
can Petroleum Institute to secure a
vote on the matter showed a division
between those who were importing and
those who were not, with less than
majority Of the membership voting.
Favoring the measure is the Inde-
pendent Petroleum Association of
America, which, through its president
Writ Franklin, took leading part in
hearings before the House Ways and
Means Committee, and has led a long
fight for an import tax or tariff. The
highlights of Mr.. Franklin's remarks
at the latest hearings, were that the
domestic industry was demoralized by
importations of cheap products of
cheap labor
On the other side of the picture are
the petroleum importers, including the
largest companies of this country.

Thursday afternoon by airplane for

night that he had talked to Lind

The Rev. Harold Dobson-P Peacock,
