MONEY TROUBLES

The dissatisfaction against San- ders as Chairman grew out of more potent causes: he had not been able to replenish the Party treasury, and his work of reconciliation among the warning factions was not mak- ing the progress some leaders had thought should be made.
 So far as Hoover influence IS concerned, it is the National Com msttee with it's representation from every state which really is the gov erning body of the party-not the Chairman. And the committee is the same committee it was before Sanders quit; it is just as pro-
The Daily Alaska empire., 1934-05-19

Hoover, or anti-Hoover, as 1t was before.
 It is, in fact, really not very pro-anything or anti-anything. It is made up of so many elements that it recognizes its decisions can be reached only by compromise. Doubtless many resentments will be stirred up by the Chicago negotia- tions, but in the end an open con- test is improbable-just as improb- able as the prospect any real change will be represented by the outcome.

The above condition is one Of
natures own making. It explains
why frequently q promising location

Hard rock, soft rock and sands laid
down during endless time have been
raised, lowered, folded and cracked.
Various formations have intruded,
advanced and withdrawn Thus, IN
this earthly upheaval, many block
AIDES against free exit Of oil have

studies have shown that in time,
these deposits actually produce an
effect of q glazed tiie--the packing
extending two to three inches into
pay-sands. Again the problem is
to eliminate this natural preventa-
tive to free oil flow--to restore
the original por0sity.
The third major problem Is the
gradual growth Of paraffin deposited
in the inner casing-pinching down
production. The oil industry has
struggled with this difficulty ever
since it's inception. 1t has used sock
cts, Jars stems and pins, paraffin
hooks, electric heaters, steam, hot
water, flame, gas, heated oil and
various other means to rid itself
of this enemy.
The fourth and equally trouble
some problem is the constant pos
siDility n introducing brine. FIRE.
quently in the attempt to drill or
shoot a we'll into more profitable
pay-sand, brine has been encounter
ed. Thus, many wells which might
have been developed into good pro-
ducers, have been turned into brine
producers instead.
Thereafter follows a detailed de-
scription of DoweIl methods to solve
these problems, Including a discus

consume IL. They eat eff its faces
and get back into the pOr0us struc-
fure. They clean out pay-sand In
plugged bottom holes. In short,
they make possible the free flow of
oil"
There is also discussion of Dowell
paraffin solvent which have proven |
highly successful in Cut Bank.

CANADIANS CHEERED
BY WHEAT SITUATION
Delegate to World Farley Says
Feed Shortage Will End
Surplus Problem.
By the Associated Press,

BY the Associated Press.
OTTAWA, September 3.-Good news
for the Canadian wheat industry was
brought from the London meeting Of
the World Wheat Advisory Com
mittee by John I. Mcfarland, Canada's
representative, who asserted yesterday
that shortage of coarse grains for
stock feed would end the wheat sur
plus problem temporarily at least.
Mcfarland advised farmers to sell
gradually during the ensuing months.
The world shortage of feed grains
was unprecedented. he said, and he
predicted that surplus wheat would
be absorbed for feed purposes, since
course grains are being sold at prices
equivalent to those being received for
wheat.
After agreeing on certain amend
ments to the world wheat pact of
last year the Advisory Committee ad-
journed to meet in Budapest, Nov
ember 20.
Mcfarland warned wheat growers
that, although he could see elimina-
ton of more than a moderate surplus
by the end of the next crop year, a
return of normal weather and crop
conditions with the present produc-
ton areas would result in a second
period of agricultural depression.

Virginia Dispute.

Long delayed hearing on the Dis
trict of Columbia Virginia boundary
line controversy will be resumed
Wednesday morning in the office Of
the National Capital Park and

The area in dispute In Arlington
County is said to consist of property
lying east of the Jefferson Davis
Highway, two-thirds Of the Washing

South Washington industrial area.
The United States in three decisions
has decreed that the boundary is the
highwater mark Of 1871 on the Vir-
ginia shore. Since that time, the
Virginia shore has changed consid-
erably.
The boundary question has involved
Virginia and the District Of Columbia
in numerous disputes, and involved
in 1t is another question of police
jurisdiction In the debatable territory.
A bill was introduced at the last
session of Congress authorizing the
President to appoint commission to
settle the controversy once and for
all.
The Federal Government, repre-
sented by Judge G.. A. Iverson and
Henry H. Classic, is scheduled to
present its evidence first at Wednes-

Victims Recovering at Hospital
From Burns Received in
Fleeing Flames.

A pleasure trip down the Potomac
River in 50-foot yacht ended dis
astrously for a party of four early
yesterday morning when an explosion
seriously burned two women and de-
molished the craft
The yacht, the Greyhound, owned
by Hugh Smith, lawyer, with Offices
in the Southern Building, had aboard
a party consisting of Smith, Mr.. and
Mrs. Harold Martin of 2022 Sixteenth
street northwest. and Miss Ethel
Weakly of the Ambassador Apart
ments. AS it neared Shepherds Land
ing, opposite Alexandria, the men
were in the pilot house and the wom-
en- in the galley astern preparing food.
Suddenly there was terrific explo-
sion and the galley was enveloped in
flames. The men seized fire extin-
guishers and played the contents on
the fire, and the women ran through
the wall of flame, their clothing
ablaze. The men then threw the
women into the river and jumped
after them.
The explosion had been noticed
from the deck of the Coast Guard
cutter Fox, which lowered motor
whale boats. All four of the yachts
occupants were rescued and taken to
the landing of the Old Dominion
Boat Club. The women were removed
to the Alexandria General Hospital.
Meanwhile, the Greyhound, left to
navigate itself, ran aground near
Shepherds Landing and burned to the
waters edge. Her value was esti-
mated at about $4,000.
At the Alexandria Hospital today
it was said that both women would
recover.
Smith reported to police that when
he jumped into the river his wallet,
containing $187, washed away.
The cause of the explosion has not
been determined.
