which the oil code was handed to
the oil men, Johnson SAID:
This wasn't any high-handed
action because these people had
every chance to register all differ
ent points of opinion. They toiled
and moiled day in and Gay out
and got what was substantial agree
ment except for production and
price.
Then there was nothing to do
but for some one to make a deci-
sion. We couldn't stay here de-
batting forever. No che in the oil
industry can say his views had not
been presented"
johnson said he did not intend
10 invoke any licensing or penal
provision of the recovery act for
the present.
I'VE are trying to move" he
said ION the theory of government
acting together with industry in CO.
operation. The purpose of the re.
serve powers is merely to disci-
pline recalcitrantS.
when the time comes they will
be used"
Johnson said the oil code as re-
vised would cut down the "unman-
ageabIe oil which very nearly has
.uined great industry.
"If reasonable control by the
state is not exercised" he said, 1.-The
federal government will not permit
oil TO pour into interstate channels
The penalty that state will suffer
is that it then can float in its own

also filed protest.
Jack Blalock of Marshall, Tex,
representing Texas and other in
dependents, called on Johnson to
object to sections Of the code per-
hitting the federal government to
regulate production within state
boundaries.
E. 0. Thompson. member OF the
Texas railroad commission, entered
similar protests, declaring that the
hot oil" order would be weakened
| if a federal agency was permitted
to notify states of their oil alloca-
lions. Thompson favored a change
in the code to have the central
federal oil agency recommend"
the state ALLEGATIONS rather than
impose them arbitrarily.
The Independent Refiners As
ISOLATION of California, the Louis
lana Arkansas Refiners association,
and the Texas Independent Refin-
ers association, joined in protest

tanned this ratio was too high and
recommended a ratio of Is to l.
1.-The 60-64 octane grade of gas
