House Body Backs Bill
To Free Airline Pilots
For War Service
Measure Would Raise
Monthly Hours Ceiling
From IS to 100

A war emergency bill expected to
release between 300 and 400 ex-
perienced pilots from the airlines
for duty with the military services
was approved today by the House
Interstate Commerce Committee
The law would extend the time
which pilots are allowed to fly COM
mercial transports from IS to 100
hours a month.
Army spokesmen estimated this
will release about 18 per cent of
the approximately 1900 transport
pilots now flying the country's air
lines.
The measure has the approval OF
the pilots themselves. David L.
Behncke, president of the Airline
Pilots Association. told the COM
mittee at public hearing he was
convinced the airline pilots will be
satisfied with straight" pay for the
overtime involved.
65 Per Cent Reserve Officers.
Mr.. Behncke testified that while
the "85-hour law is one of the most
cherished rights of the pilots, they
are ready and willing to do what
ever they can to help the Com
mander in Chief further the war
effort"
The spokesman asked that the
extension in hours only last during
the military emergency and not be
used for the profit OF airline opera
tors.
About IS per cent q the pilots
are Army Reserve officers. These
and pilots without reserve rating
have been deferred in the past from
military service at request OF the
airlineS.
Ferry Command Needs Men.
The Ferry Command of the air
forces is expected to absorb most
of the pilots released from the air
lines. The command is now hiring
civilian pilots to reinforce its flying
personnel
Spokesman for the command said
the ferrying service was abreast of
the demand for ny-away deliveries,
but anticipated needs for additional
personnel as factories step up pro-
duction schedules to meet President
Roosevelt's call for $4,000 military
aircraft this year
The bill was introduced by Repre-
sentative Lea. Democrat, of Cali
fornia.

Tax Change Would

Ending Allowance
~ the Associated Press.

BY the Assoc lated Press.
Robert E. Allen, deputy petroleum
co-ordinator, told the House Ways
and Means Committee today that
elimination of the present deprecla-
ton allowance for oil well owners
would influence. to degree" pre-
duction of oil products needed for
the war effort.
Chairman Doughton OF the COM
mittee tried in vain to learn whether
Mr.. Allen or the Interior Depart
ment was opposed to the Treasury
Departments proposal for elimina-
ton of the allowance, an action esti-
mated to raise $80,0O0,000 as part
of President Roosevelt's new $7,00O,-
100000 tax program.
Advantage to Industry.
:, Mr.. Allen said he had not seen
the suggestion and. since he had
not discussed it with Secretary
Ickes, he preferred not to make a
definite statement. He remarked
that the depreciation allowance had
been "of material advantage" to the
oil industry.
He said that the co-ordinator's
Office had been busy the last few
days trying to maintain flow Of
fuel oil to New England and other
seaboard points and had not had
time to study the Treasury's pro-
posal.
The department. he said. was pri-
marily concerned with learning the
best ways and means OF insuring a
constant and added supply of petro-
Ieum supplies"
I'VE view with some concern-not
alarm-the fact that our oil re-
Sources are melting down at a rate
considerably faster than we have
been able to replace them" Mr..
Allen said
Elimination Protested.
J.E. Moorhead, Oil City, Pa. exec
Ltive manager of the Pennsylvania
Grade Crude Oil Association, told
the committee that in the interest
of the war effort and the anxiety
of producers to make the maximum
contribution to its prosecution I'VE
must protest against the elimination
of or change in the present deprecia-
ton provisions in the tax law"
THE proposed revisions in the
income tax law strike directly at
the only funds which are available
to the producer for the maintenance
of essential drilling operations, y
Mr.. Moorhead said THE practical
effect of their enactment would be
TO wipe out the only source OF capi-
tai by which the necessary output
of oil could be maintained or in
