American public consumed IL bid

30 EvIDENCE FoR OIL OoNTROL

w ASf1lNAr / j4N---A ndll man 0OiC
called off the congressional oil
committees hearings on the FEEDER
al oil control bill because little
or no testimony was in prospect
to support the urgent and critical
need for such legislation, cited in
President Roosevelt's letter to Cole.
Congressman Cole, in announcing
hearings mentioned only two wit
esses by name-Defense Commits
sioner Stettinius. and Oil Defense
Advisor Wilson.
Advocates of Federal oil control
were reported preparing to draft
new version of the Cole BILL
said to incorporate national defense
proposals and provide for a FEEDER
al representative on the Interstate
Compact Commission, which is to
be introduced when Congress re-
cOnvenes in January.
Chairman Cole, meanwhile, is
understood to be planning to ask
Congress to extend his investigat-
ing group for another years, to
permit filing OF a full and final
report.

THR WORK OF sCIENCE

More than SO u % of the recover
able oil known today will be pro-
duced under present production
methods, say petroleum engineers.
This indicates tremendous progress
since under old methods it was e IT,
mated that only about half of the
oil was recoverable.
To obtain this large recovery it
is necessary to observe certain rules.
The gas pressure must be maintained
To do this output must be strictly
kept under control. This means
state regulation, holding output
down to proper level. The ultimate
gain is about twice as much oil
output.

tried last week in federal court be-
fore United States District Judge

have right to recover the lease
because Tarrant failed to operate IL
as required.
Tarrant's defense was that he
drilled seven holes on the lease,
three of them producers and four
dry holes, but that he was forced
10 shut down for IA months when
Canadian refiners quit buying Mon
tana oil and he lost his market.

Closer Balkan Relations
Are Urged by Germany

BUDAPEST, Hungary, July 81
Germany has told Rumania to de-
eide by direct negotiations with
Hungary and Bulgaria how much
land to cede to those two countries
and to hurry up about it, an official
source disclosed tonight
Adolf Hitler, in conversations with
the Rumanian government leaders
at Obersalzberg is said to have in
sisted that the negotiations start
quickly so that southeastern Europe
can rest quietly during the expected
Nazi assault on England.
The demands that must be met,
Germany is understood to have
stated, are those of Hungary for
at least part of Pennsylvania and
of Bulgaria for at least some OF
