NOT CONTEMPLATED
Ickes Tells Texas Group He
Has No "Present Intention"
of Using Authority.

Texas Independent Reflners Associa-
ton sent President Roosevelt, charging
they would be ruined by certain gaso-
line prices they were informed were
to be fixed. The Secretary said he had
fixed no prices and that the ref1ners'
Information was incorrect.
Meanwhile Government technicians
continued their study of the Oil Plan
ming Committees complicated schedule
of base prices and differentials. Well
informed sources still believed that
prices would be fixed eventually and
pointed out that the Secretary had left
the way open so he could move in any
direction at any time. 1t was indicated
that definite action would not come
before the latter part of the week at
the earliest
The Secretary addressed the Planning
Committee yesterday, reporting notable
improvement" in the oil industry and
urging that care be taken so too great
burden is not placed too suddenly on
the purchasing power OF the public just
at this time"
The Secretary's only other reference.
interpreted by some as relating to price
fixing, was his statement that "our
task is to stabilize the industry on a
profitable basis. That is the keen de-
sire of the administration, and we will
work with you constantly to that end"
"A short time ago." Ickes told the
committee, conditions in your industry
were very bad. but since the passage
OF the national industrial recovery act
notable improvement has been shown.

prices of 80 per cent, in wholesale gaso-
line prices Of 100 per cent and in crude
oil price up to $50 per cent have already
taken place. although our control Of

days ago. Your problem is to hold and

1t is justified, while paving the way for
