With many factors entering the prob

There is much interest in a sugges-

Secretary Of the Interior Ickes today
described as useless" the Connally
amendment substituted yesterday by
the Senate Finance Committee for the
Administrations plan to stabilize the
oil industry.
The Secretary told newspaper men
the proposal Of Senator Connally, Dem
ocrat of Texas, would be virtually use
less in remeding the evils Of over-pro-
duction In the oil fields.
Under the administrations measure,
which Secretary Ickes had suggested,
the President would have been empow-
cred to control production through the
Interstate Commerce laws.
The Connally plan based the Presi-
dents power upon the maximum pro-
duction permitted by State laws. Ickes
said California had no maximum and
that, taking all Of the State laws as q
whole, the maximum production allowed
would be too large to aid the situation.
