.|CKES ACTS TO AID
SMALL OIL FIRMS
Asks Board of Inquiry for
Specific Information
on Industry.

Seeking to determine the justice In
the complaints of small operators in
the petroleum industry that they are
being handicapped by Government
regulations, Oil Administrator Ickes
today is comforting with q special
board Of inquiry named to look into
the matter.
Paul Blazer, independent refiner OF
Ashland, KY, was appointed chairman
OF the board with instructions that
"a searching and careful but speedy
inquiry" should be made.
I'VE want the facts" Mr.. Ickes said.
If the facts as collected show that
Independent and small enterprises are
being handicapped, and where they
are being hampered, I want to know
those facts and what the committee
thinks may be done"
1t was reported to Mr.. Ickes yes
terday by Government agent in
the East Texas field that 102 tank
carloads OF oil and oil products left
that area during the day without cer-
tiflcates TO show they were produced
within State quotas.
Meanwhile, the House and Senate
have before them bills, which would
re-enact the controverted section CT
the oil shipment regulation clause
OF the national recovery act. Illegal
ity OF the section was declared on
Monday by the Supreme Court. Mr
Ickes maintains, however, that the
new bills do not go far enough.
For February allotments, Mr.. Ickes
places gasoline allowable for the
month at 32.560.00o barrels, as COM
pared with 34,75000O in January.
Gasoline consumption for February
has been estimated at 27.960,00O bar
rels by the Bureau of Mines, leaving
nearly 100000 barrels to be added

Large Crop
Reduction To
Be Effective
Farmers Get One Check
Instead of Three; Aim
At II, 1000, 900 Bales
To Be For Four Years

Washington.-The AAA offer
ed the nations cotton growers a
four-year adjustment contract
aimed at crop reduction and a,
bettering the lot Of share-croppers
and some tenant farmers through
increased payments to them.
| Pointed toward a 11,000,000-tc
ooo,ooo-bale production in
1886, the 1869 contracts call
for 5-to-10-per cent greater CROP
reduction than in 1885, with a l.
900, o,0O0-acre reduction in base
acreage. y
Both long-range control agree
ments were projected in the face
of the impending Supreme Court
decision on the constitutionaliry of
'AAA. Four-year contracts also
have been prepared for wheat, to-
bacco and rye producers.
High administration quarters
have indicated some way would be
sought to continue production con-
troll in these major crops even
should the high tribunal hold pro-
cessing taxes invalid. Benefit pay
ments to farmers are financed
through these taxes.
The major changes in the new
cotton contracts:
1. They cover four years in
stead of one.
2. National base acreage is re-
duced from As, 100000 to 44,500,-
900 acres.
3. The reduced production for
1896 must be 80 to As per cent of
the base, compared with Is to 35
per cent in 1885, and 35 to 45
per cent in 1884.
4. Benefits equal to five cents a
pound, or $3.50 an acre, will be
paid in one check for the reduc-
tions. Three payments formerly
were made on two bases, toraling
4 "a cents pound.
5. Share croppers will receive Is

an off the record statement that

the 21st amendment, are rousing
again to meet the new temperance
drive.
Some one-active forces on both
sides have withdrawn from the

fields.

amendment approaches its second
