WPB EXCEPTION
is GRANTED FOR
ENTIRE OIL FIELD

An exception to we1-spacing regu-
lations, which will enable operators in
the Smackover oil field in southern
Arkansas to plug back wells to shall
lower producing horizons, was granted
by the director general for operations,
War Production Board, on recommen-
dalton of the office Of Petroleum Co
ordinator for War.
Under the fieldwide program of
action now possible, the producing
lives of many wells will be prolonged
and the ultimate recovery Of oil from
the field substantially increased.
The authorization contained in Sup
Elementary Order M-68-4, does away
with the necessity for each operator
applying individually for an exception
to Conservation Order M-s8 to permit
the use of materials required for re-
completion operations. As more than
3,7O0 wells had been completed in the
Smackover field by the end of 1871,
this procedure would have involved
considerable delay and expense, as
well as some loss of production.
The application for fieldwide ex-
ception to M-68 was initiated by the
Arkansas Oil and Gas commission. It
is the first case on record in which
state agency has held fieldwide
hearing, assembled evidence, and then
prepared an application for exception
in behalf of all the operators in
field. The Office Of Petroleum Co
ordinator strongly favors such pro-
cedure wherever practicable.

TAKE TANK CARS
FROM WEST FOR
EAST COAST USE

/ WASHINGTON-The office Of Pc
trOleum Coordination ordered 5000
tank cars in midwest, southwest and
( Rocky mountain states made available
Immediately to carry gasoline and fuel
oil to the Atlantic seaboard and indi-
Gated that present limitations on Pc
troleum deliveries may be extended
outside the shortage" area.
In telegram TO members Of the
industry committee east Of the Rocky
mountains, Deputy Co-ordinator Ralph
X. Davies said the cars were needed
to carry petroleum products from
producing fields and pointed out that:
1T is the policy Of this office, as
you know, TO withdraw from un-
rationed areas for service in supplying
rationed areas. the petroleum facilities
which can be effectively used in re-
lieving the area Of shortage. AS this
release OF facilities creates a shortage
in new areas. appropriate distribution
Of remaining supplies are then issued
applicable TO such areas"
OPC officials said $1,000 tank cars
now are being used to bring petroleum
supplies to the east coast in an at
tempt to alleviate the transportation
shortage created by tanker sinkings
off the Atlantic and Gulf coasts. They
estimated the 5000 TO be made avail
able would leave some IS 900 for the
southwest, midwest and Rocky noun
tain states.
They estimated that the additional
cars could bring between 10000 and
10000 barrels Of petroleum daily to
the shortage area. This would be in
addition to the record-breaking rail
movement Of 80O,OO1 barrels daily.
An OPC spokesman indicated that
the agency is ready to establish neces-
sary limitations either curtailmentS
on delivery to dealers or possibly ra-
tioning-if the shortage of tank cars
In the midwest became serious enough.
He specifically mentioned Minnesota,
Wisconsin, the DakotaS and said other
states Immediately east Of the Rockies
also might be included.
He pointed out that most Of the
and central parts Of the mid
west and states Immediately east Of
the Mississippi river we're pretty well
supplied" by pipelines.
Davies told the industry committees
that an agreement by Federal Loan
Administrator Jesse H. Jones TO abb
serb the excess cost OF overland move
ment Of petroleum products would
bring a prompt acceleration" in such
shipments to the Atlantic coast cur
area.
He said the agreement virtually
would remove the barriers Of excess
transportation expense and the dis
parity Of purchase price on products
In the midwest as compared with the
Gulf coast, the usual source Of petrole-
um products for the eastern seaboard.

WGge-HOHr LGIU
Restraints Unity
From Violations

Boris Aronow and the Unity Pc
troleum Co. OF Shelby and Kalispen
have been permanently restrained
from further violation Of the federal
wage and hour law, under judgment
entered by Judge Charles N. Pray in
u. S. district court at Great Falls.
Aronow withdrew answers to the
complaint and allowed Judgment to
be entered after the suits had been
In progress more than a year. Any
further violations win leave the de-
PENDANTS subject to contempt Of court
proceedings, according to L. A. Hill,
regional director Of the wage and hour
division.
The complaint charged that Oil well
bumpers were employed on a lease
"A hours a day and paid monthly
salary. An arbitrary So hours a week
was shown on the records at a rate
so that entries at straight time for
40 hours and overtime for Is hours
would net the desired salary. Workmen
were asked to sign slips to this effect.
A recent o. s. supreme court decision
held that this does not constitute pay
ment at time and one-half their reg
ular rate of pay. The same situation
existed with respect to office employees.
In two-week period when an en-
ploye worked short hours one week It
was necessary to credit him with more
overtime hours than actually worked
to arrive at the regular rate Of pay.
No time records were kept for truck
drivers who were paid at the rate Of
"a cents a mile and whom 1t was
considered could make 30 miles an
hour

Old Gas Well Is
Oil Producer As
Acid Is ADDLied

A 16-year-old gas well, producing
from the top of the Madison lime, in
Kelvin field, is today entering a new
career in the role of an oil well.
1t Is Ohio Oil-Reeg No. S, in SW
NEa NWa 23-35-2w. It was completed
in 1926 with an initial Of 1000 900
cubic feet Of gas per day. 1t has been
produced as a gas well and was down
to $1,000 cubic feet per day when Ohio
decided to try acidizing the lime. The
result was that it is now making II
barrels per day. Furthermore, the gas
was increased to 100000 cubic feet per
day.
Offsetting this well ON the south is
Texaco-P Pacific Pewters NO 3 which
was also gas well, producing from
the top Of the lime 1t had dropped
off to 10000 cubic feet per day and
when acidized it jumped to over 1OO.-
600 cubic feet Of gas but made no oil.
Texas-Pacific acidized its No. 2 gas
ser on the same lease, some time ago,
converting that gasser into an oil well
