MADE
To STABILIZE
OIL INDUSTRY
National Output To Be Regulat-
ed By Action OF Federal Ad-
ministrator For Industry.
BIG COMPANIES FEARED
Government May Use Price Fix
ing Powers Should Such Move
Be Found Necessary.

United Press Staff Correspondent
WASHINGTON, Sept. 8.-The oil
industry began operating today un-
der federal production allo.mentS
designed to stabilize output and
prices. Battle lines were drawn in
a fresh controversy over direct
government price fixing.
The powerful Standard Oil COM
pany of New Jersey again was in
the lead fighting price fixing. Out
come of the battle apparently will
depend on how the industry fares
under the restrictions designed to
balance production and consump-
ton.
Secretary of Interior Ickes, oil
code administrator, laid down the
regulations which limited national
output to 2,409, 700 barrels daily, ef-
fective at a. m. today, and allo-
Gated this production among the
various fields. He was prepared to
adjust the allotments if they fail
ed to lift crude prices to point
that will enable producers to meet
increased costs of operation under
the code and give them a fair pro
fit-a price estimated at between
81 and SIPS a barrel for mid-con-
tinent crude.
Major Concerns Feared
Whether or not the government
will consider using its price fix
ing powers under the code is, III
Ickes' own words, bridge he
won't cross until, when and if it is
necessary.
Small independent operat o T S
feared major concerns may have
an undue advantage unless prices
are fixed from the we'll to the fill
ing station. The independents ar
gued that while the burden of in
creased costs of operation under
the code fall on all, the big COM
panies with large cash reserves
could absorb part of the costs for
"a time and market gasoline at a
p(ce which the independents could
not match.
The planning committee recog-
HlIeQ IIllS EIUUleul III otdtSliiciil
in which it said:
ITO keep the motorists gasoline
price down and at the same time to
protect the small producers, re-
finers and dealers from heavy loss

costs is a difficult task faced by the
committee, which is completing its
ct, hpfnra
recommending to Administrator
Ickes any action on price determin-

window while watering a fern.
He suffered a compound frac-
ture of the right thigh, double frac-
ture of the jaw and other injuries
Mrs. Sunday was treated at the
hospital for a broken finger. Her
eye was blackened
Sundays plunge added another
chapter to his marital troubles.

lywood by her professional name
of Renee La 5alle. She was named
by Sundays first wife, Harriet,
when the latter divorced him in Los
Angeles three years ago

Cardinal Presides
In Sanctity Hearing

CHICAGO, Sept. 8. GU.P; n
solemn tribunal in a wing of Col
umbus hospital, with a setting OF
shrouded Sisters, high backed
chairs and religious ornaments,
secret testimony is being taken
daily in anticipation of elevation to
sainthood of Mother Frances Xa-
vier Cabrini.
If Mother Cabrini is named a
saint, she will be the first Amer
lean citizen to receive that honor
from the Roman Catholic church.
She was founder of the order of
Missionary Sister OF the Sacred
Heart of Jesus and died in 1917.
The hearing, strictly secret and
formal, invokes all the ritual and
formal procedure of the church. 1t
was ordered by the apostolic see.
Cardinal Mundelein is presiding
judge.
Testimony, which began in Aug
ust, probably will continue through
,Seutentber and before oanoniza-
tion is completed may cost a mil
lion dollars. The expense is borne
by the sisterhood.
The chief requisite for sainthood
Is proof that Mother Cabrini per-
formed two miracles following her
death. Two witnesses, Sister Del
fina Graziolh of Seattle, Wash,
and little Peter Smith, IL, of New
York, will testify to miracle by Mo-
ther Cabrini

RACERS LOST
FOR SIX DAYS
Officials Believe Contrary Winds
Carried Men Far Off Their
Regular Course.

CHICAGO, Sept. 8. <U.Ps-Ran-
gers of southeastern Canada and
American officials searched today
for four airmen missing in two bal
looms that left here Saturday in
the Gordon Bennett races.
Tile balloCps, unreporEed since
they sailed away with five other
contestants, were believed to have
drifted to the northeast. Prevailing
winds probably would have carried
them north in the province of
Quebec, Can, contest officials said
Secretary of State Hull was un-
derstood to have asked Warren D.
Robbins, American minister to Can
ada, to ask provincial authorities
to join in the search. Forest ram
gers were ordered to scout isolated
sections Of the province.
In the two missing craft were
Ward T. Vanorman, plotting the
Goodyear TX, and Capt. Francizek
Hynek and Lieut.. zhiginew Bur-
zynski in Polish balloon. Frank A.
Trotter accompanied Van Orman,
one of the United States outstand-
ing balloonistS. Van Orman has
won the Bennett trophy three times.
Officials pointed out that both
the bags may have descended in
wild, uninhabllec regions of Que
bee. In that case, they said, it
might be days before the men could
reach civilization.
The greatest concern for the men
was felt over the possibility that
they may have come down on one
of the Great Lakes.
