Petroleum Industry May Yet Be CurtaiLed
Decision of Supreme Court Stirs Government to
 Greater Efforts to Stop OverprOductiOn

! 4. The opinion can not be ,in- terpreted as u blow to the general principals being followed in the formulation promulgation of codes of fair competition.
 Blackwell Smith, acting general counsel of the NR4i, hailed the opinion as a guidepost and said nothing in 1t indicated congress cannot constitutionally treat the problem by The only practicable means"
 A word of caution against read ing general condemnation of the system of codes of fair comDe- tition into the opinion was voiced by Donald Richberg, executive di- rector of the National emergency counsel.
 Ickes announced determination to proceed on the enforcement of the petroleum code.
 The courts opinion was written and delivered by Chief Justice Charles Evans Hughes.
 An outstanding point of the de- ision was an all but unanimous de- cision based on an interpretation of constitional law. Justice Ben- tamin N. Cordoza, who was ap- pointed to fill the post vacated by Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes, wrote a lengthy dissent.
 He noted there was only a nar- row margin of doubtful ground which separated his opinion from that of the majority but a margin that left him no doubt that the section should have been upheld as within the constitutional dege- gation of authority. It was on this point that the court held the section invalid.
 The test cases were supplied by the Panama Petroleum company and the Panama Refining com pany, both of the East Texas fields.
 The oil companies brief raised the cry of "Unconstitional delega- ton of congressional authority" It was echoed throughout the, long court opinion and is likely as a result to be rc-cchoed through future debate on administrative policies.
 The court explored decisions handed down from the early days of the government and found that repeatedly congress had made del- egations of authority each predicted in the findings of specific facts and and hedged around with re- strictions and criteria.
 But, 1t added, Tn every case in which the question has been raised, the court has recognized that there are limits to delegation which there Is no constitutional authority to transcend"

GREAT BRITAIN PROVIDE FOR
 WAGE FARMERS
About l7,OOO,OOO Are to

London, Jan 8-UP)-Great Britain today permanently as- sumed the full care and mainten- ance of every able-bodied wage earner in the country (whether in- sured or not) who is earning nor 17,OOO,000 wage earners, represent ing more than 34.O0O,00O people out of population of 45,000, 900. passed under the care of the new unemployment assistance board, which opened it's doors at Thomas house. The 17,000,000 wage earn CTS are guaranteed government as- sistance for an indefinite period when they are out of a job-in cash, as a matter of right and de- tached. The only restrictions are 65 years, make real efforts to find work and must normally earn less than $25 week. The board starts work with a government deposit in the Bank of England of $25,000,- 900. The bulk of the money is bookkeeping transfer of funds which have been handled hitherto by local authorities.
 The additional cost to the na- tional government will Le, accord ing to official estimates in white paper, not less than $40,000,000.
 Of the 100000 wage earners, about 13,000.000- are under the unemployment insurance scheme and, when out of job, will draw their usual contractual benefits. The remaining 100000 include those who have not hitherto been eligible for unemployment insur- ance, such as farm laborers. do- mestic servants and those who em- ploy themselves, such as newsboys, street vendors and "jobbing gar deners."
 But the scheme covers the in- sured workers as well. It provides that when they have been unem- ployed so long that they have ex- hausted their right to the dole, they will not be thrown upon the poor law for relief. They will simply turn to the local office of the unemployment assistance board and will draw every Thursday or Friday definite sum of money. based, not on what local com mittee thinks Is good for them, but on q definite scale drafted by l the board and approved by parlia- ment |

 United Press Stan COFrespOndent)
 Washington, Jan. S-UP)-Ad- ministration officials today con- sidered declaring the Petroleum industry a Public Utility as a means of curtaiIing overproduction in ma 5or fields.
 The plan, advocated by secretary of Interior Harold l.. Ickes two months ago, received additional support after the Supreme court held unconstitutional section 9 <C) of the National Industrial act giving the governmental control of production.
 The decision was seen as break ing down all attempts at regulat- ing, the oil industry, as legalizinS crude petroleum, glutting the mar ket with refined products and lead ing to breakdown of the oil price structure.
 Although the oil code itself was unaffected, officials believed the huge East Texas oil field, with production set now at about 400,- 900 barrels day. immediately would start producing around 1,- 600,OO0 barrels.
 They said the nations daily con- sumption is about 2,5O0,00O bar re1s. whereas the East Texas field has a daily potential production of 70,000,000 barrels T h c field, under full operation, could supply the country's needs for q full year in 15 days.
 The average price of oil was 2 cents a barrel in the summer of 1893 when the East Texas field 4nrfa i boo day, about one-third of it illegal. and hot oil cut to 5000 barrels day, the price averages $1.
 Declaring the Petroleum busi- ness a Public Utility would give the government absolute con- trol over production, refining and marketing much as the interstate commerce commission control railroads.
 Seek Another Way
 Washington, Jan. 8-(UP)- Faced with adverse decision of the Supreme Court in the East Texas Oil cases, administration officials today sought a way to maintain order in the once Chaotic oil in dustry and to analyZe the possible affect of the courts ruling on Otner recovery leSlSidtIOn.
 The court found unconstitutional section 9 co of the National In- dustrial Recovery Act and the ex- ecutive orders, of President Roose- welt carrying the section into ef- feet. It also held invalid the orders of oil administrator Harold r. Ickes making the section ef- fectiye.
 Section 9 co gives the president authority to prohibit interstate Shipments of "hot oil," which is oil produced in excess of state quotas.
 4 cursory examination of, the counts exhaustive opinion already has led to these conclusions.
 1. Control of excessive oil pro- duction for the time being must be attempted under the petroleum code since the court made no at temps to pass on the code itself.
 a. Attempts may be made to have petroleum production de- clared Public Utility in order to justify new and clearer congress sional regulation of the field.
 3. The courts decision will be valuable as practicable though partial, guide for the formation of future emergency or permanent Legislation for the control of pro- Sduct3on.

Bullitt May Protest
 Communist World
 Congress In Russia
Bv The Associated Press)

(By The Associated Press)
 MOSCOW. Aug. 3, - American Ambassador William c. Bullitt may protest officially against activities of the Communist Internationale, now holding world congress here, it was learned today.
 Any protest would be made on the ground that the Communist Inter- nationale is plotting to overthrow the American political or social or der.
 It would be based on the Soviet American agreement of November 19, 1933, in which Russia promised not to countenance any group aim ed at forcing a change in American social or political orders.
