Crude Oil Ceiling Seen
As Threat to WiIdcotters'

TULSA, Okla. Aug. 81 (P).-Sev-
eral spokesmen for the oil industry
asserted today that the Govern
ments effort to freeze crude oil I
prices might endanger the defense;
program by forcing private operators
to abandon their Stepped-up search
for new petroleum reserves. :
Price Administrator Leon Hender-'t 2
son this week established a ceiling
on prices for Pennsylvania grade
crude at the level prevailing before
an increase of % to Is cents a barreF
was announced August IA.
Ralph K. Davies, deputy petrol
cum co-ordinator, urged at the same
time that wildcat" drilling be con-
tinued at the present rapid rate to
prevent depletion of reserves as a
result of the immense defense drain.
Oil men here argued that explor-
atory drilling could not be carried X
on at current price levels because Of :
skyrocketing operations costs.
Some observers contended there Is D
a direct relationship between crude =
oil prices and the rate of wildcat" +
operations. When the price is too =
low in comparison with the cost of -
drilling, they said, there follows al
natural decline in operations. ~

wheat, oats and other grains moved
upward today as general CONNER
cial and professional buying ex-
panded.
Wheat advanced almost 2 cents
at times, deferred deliveries reach
ing new highs for the past four
years, with May, 1912, contracts over

also to new four-year peaks, May
contracts selling near so cents. De-
ferred soybean futures were as high
as sl.61l2, while in the spot market
No. 2 yellow beans brought s1.67.
Traders said beans reflected small
country sales and demand for oils as
q result of cotton crop deterioration.
Oats demand was attributed to in
creased feeding activity, while wheat,
borrowing strength from other COM
modltleS, also was Influenced by
meager country sales and reports of
large stocks being withheld from the
market due to attractive loan rates.
