Snowfall, Heaviest Since 1928, to Last

made arriving trains and buses
a little late.
Calls for taxicabs, which were
doing a rushing business, to
some. extent impaired telephone
service, but officials Of the Ches-
apeake and Potomac Telephone
Company said that would be
Strengthened out.
The impairment resulted be-
cause many taxicab companies
are on manual exchanges, which
held UP dial lines because Of the
heavy traffic.
Use of the telephone as a re-
suit of the storm broke all pre-
vious records in Washington ex-
changes. Calls were being made
at the rate of 1,000,O0 for the
day in comparison with the nor
NAL average Of 100000.
LOng.DiStance Good
Long-distance service was being
maintained practically without in
terruption except on calls to the
far South, where lines passing
through Georgia are out of order
due to a heavy sleetstorm.
Telephone officials said they an
ticipated, no local trouble, since
lines are practically entirely un-
der ground. They were prepared,
however, to transport exchange
employees to and from work in the
event the street Car service breaks
down.
Nothing like that, however, will
happen, both the Washington Rail-
way and Electric Company and
the Capital Traction Company Of
ficials declared, unless motor cars
travelling on the car tracks packed
snow into the current slots.
Suburbs Hard Hit
Nearby Virginia and Maryland

ties, however, were making every
effort to keep main interstate
traffic arteries open. State high

RESERVES OF OIL

Waste in Speech at

By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va, July S.
The United States will be the first
country in the world to exhaust its
petroleum reserves unless the present
waste in production and consumption
Is curbed, C. B. Ames, vice president
Of an oil company, told the Sixth An
nual Institute of Public Affairs of the
University of Virginia today
Addressing the round-table confer
ence on antitrust laws, Mr.. Ames
urged Federal legislation permitting
the oil industry to determine in ad-
vance the legality Of trade conferences
and agreements on conservation Of the
crude supply and moderation Of mar
kettng and consumption methods.
Two billion cubic feet of natural gas
was blown into the air daily in 1881,
while only one billion was used by
domestic consumers, ne said. This
waste in production and consumption
is traceable he continued, to lack OF
workable legislation. Difference OF
opinion among oil men on the legality
of limiting production has thwarted
such a course Of action. 1.-THE remedy"
he said, 'is to remove this difficulty
by providing administrative machinery
which can function in advance. When
the Federal OH Conservation Board
forecasts demand and supply the in
dustry should be free to conform It's
operations by agreement, so as to bal
ance production with consumption.
In support Of his arguments, Mr..
Ames quotes Robert p. Lamont, Secre-
tary of Commerce, as saying that about
30 per cent of the horsepower OF all
prime movers in the country, fixed and
automotive, is generated by oil and It's
products.
Public utility development in Latin
America during the past decade was
described today by James S. Carson OF
the American g. Foreign Power Co,
Inc, Of New York, before the Latin
American relations round table OF the
Institute Of Public Affairs at the Uni
versity of Virginia.
Latin America has gone ahead fur
ther in the past 10 years than she did
in the 100 just preceding" the speaker
said "A blighting provincialism which
for a century and half was brake on
progress is being slowly thawed out;
the relationship between master and
servant, capital and labor, is being pro-
foundly changed; even nature herself is
feeling the push Of these relentless in
vaders and regions long unlivable for
man and being forced slowly to yield"

BOXING
CODE IS PLANNED
Conflicting Interests Will
Meet With States Attorney
to Draft Ordinance.
BY STAFF Correspondent of The Star.


ARLINGTON COUNTY COURT
HOUSE, Va, July 5;-The conflicting
boxing interests will meet tomorrow
night with Commonwealth's Attorney
Lawrence w. Douglas in an attempt to
reach an agreement upon an ordinance
that will be presented to the County
Board to have amateur boxing legal
lied in the county. Passage OF a local
ordinance permitting boxing was au-
thorized by the last General Assembly.
Fort Myer Gets Permit.
The board has already had three ap-
plications for permission to sponsor
boxing bouts. The first was from the
authorities at Fort Myer and was i'm
medlately granted, the board believing
that 1t would have no right to prohibit
boxing there anyway.
Tentative approval of an application
by Arlington Post, No. 139, American
Legion, was given prior to the date
upon which the State law went into
effect, but before an opportunity had
been given to pass the necessary ordi-
nance an application was filed by off,
cials of the Washington-H Hoover Air
port for permit to conduct open-air
bouts at Hoover Field. The latter will
contend that it was not the purpose Of
the State law that any discrimination
should be shown when the ordinance Is
passed.
Permits Four-Round Bouts.
The act permitting bouts of not more
than four rounds of three minutes each
between any two combatants provides
that the local governing bodies may
pass such regulations as It deems neces-
sary, including the formation of box
ing commission.
Following tomorrow nights parley,
Douglas will draw an ordinance for
submission to the board at a special
meeting, to be held Friday night.
