California Standards EIec.
ton Of Moffett Regarded
as Significant.
By the Associated Press.


NEW YORK, January IA new
and aggressive competitor for the Eu-
ropean petroleum business now shared
by American companies is possible,
some local oil circles thought today. as
a result Of the election Of james A.
Moffett as vice president OF the Stand
ard Oil Co. of California with head
quarters in New York.
Moffett retired o few months ago as
senior vice president Of Standard Oil
Co. of New Jersey after differences with
President Walter c. Teagle on the ques-
tim of Government regulation Of the
industry
While local oil men did not stress the
question of retaliation in their theory of
the California company's invasion OF
the European field, it was recalled never
theless that Standard Oil Of New Jer-
sey and Socony Vacuum Corporation,
which with Standard OIL of California
rank among the largest Of the Stand
ard units, had decided to merge their
interests in the Far East.
Under his project the marketing prop
critics Of the Socony Vacuum are to be
consolidated with the producing and re-
fining facilities Of the Jersey company.
The California company, Q large dis
tributor In the Far East, thus was be-
lieved to face sitter competition, possi-
bly, to . degree which would make 1t
necessary for the company to find other
sales outlets
Oil interests here believe that the
California company Ia well enough
equipped to make q stand for some of
the European business.
