Government Control OF
Oil Industry Is At Issue
Under Presidents Plan

Another step in the direction of
government control of the oil in
dustry is proposed by President
Roosevelt in his endorsements of
recommendation of the Energy
Resources committee of the Nation
al Resource committee including:
THAT a federal oil conservation
board or commission should be err
ected within the appropriate gov
erment department to administer
the federal interest in the oil and
gas industry and to make necessary
rules and regulations concerning
the production OF and commerce in
oil and gas. 1t should have the au-
thority to require that oil and gas
be extracted by such methods as
are adequate to avoid waste and to
protect the interest of all produc-
ers drawing from a common reser-
voir. II Is recognized that the de-
velopment of minimum standards
for the production and transporta-
ton OF oil and gas designed to fur
Their the national interest in con-
servation of these resources is a
complex problem. and that such
standards should be developed in CO.
operation with the state regulatory
the industry. II is recomm ended,
that the Connally Act
be extended for such time as may
be necessary for the framing and
enactment of an adequate federal
oil and gas measure"
The report covers oil, gas. coal
and water power resources. and a
mong other recommendations are
he three following:
Promotion OF greater efficiency
n the production OF fuel resources |
rom the standpoint of recovery.
Promotion of greater economy |
n the use of fuels.
Placing a larger share OF the |
Energy burden on lower grade fuels |
md water power. which would in |
Jude strict conservation OF Pet (
oleum. natural gas and the high
II grade Goals
The committees recommendation
s to a federal oil bill is one de
ending in general terms minimum
tandards for the production and
transportation OF oil and gas; Great
ng an appropriate federal admin
strative agency; and providing
or the conduct of hearings by
hat agency in order that the ex-
erience of the federal government,
hat state regulatory commissions,
nd the industry may be pooled in
OF detailed standards
nd regulations designed to protect
ne national interest in the sci
ntific production and conservation
these frreplaceable resources.
About federal oil control and i'm
orts, the report said:
Regulation under federal aus
ices should be coordinated with
rational policy concerning exports {
nd imports OF petroleum undertake I

the hope of producing both higher

A world federation Of nations Is

clared Thomas STREET, brother OF
Clarence Streit, author Of Union
Now" In an address before the Ha-
dassah Institute yesterday at the
Jewish Community Center.
In supporting theories expressed
by his brother in his book, published
last spring, Mr.. Streit discussed diff
f1culties encountered in the fedora
ton Of American Colonies in the
infancy of this Nation.
The problems of difference in
speech, nationality and religion
seemed insurmountable to political
philosophers at that time, he stated,
and yet, in spite of German citizen
ry in Pennsylvania, Dutch in New
York and English Puritans in Mas
sachusetts, difference were with time
eliminated.
