Maine, predicted today they soon
would be praying for his return"
~ price administrator.
Henderson has submitted his res
isnation to President Roosevelt and
y expected to be replaced by Sem
ator Brown, Democrat, of Michigan,
early in the new year.
AS Senator Brewster spoke, Rep
fesentatiye Andersen, Republican, OF
Minnesota, issued q statement as
sailing what he called "discrim-
nation and bungling in Govern
ment handling Of gasoline and oil"
One set Of unfair and stringent
rules IN the rationing of gasoline, !"
Mr.. Andersen said, is causing a
complete breakdown in agricultural
food production and essential trans
portation.
Another set Of rules permits un-
limited use of gasoline for the
bureaucratic rulemakers, and for
thousands OF aforementioned
cars. engaged in non-essential
work."
Mr.. Andersen declared he had re-
eeived no reply to letter which he
wrote Mr.. Henderson on November
% tnquiring about the source of
gasoline which he said was used to
ny Mr.. and Mrs. Henderson to their
New Jersey home in q private air.

While Mr.. Henderson attributed
his resignation to poor health. SEN
ator Brewster laid it to "administra-
ton ineptitude in high places"
which he charged was the greatest
bottleneck in Washington today"

Appointments Blamed.
He blamed congressional opposi-
ton to Mr.. Henderson on the latter's
failure to consult with Senators on
appointment Of local administering
officials in their home States and on
dissatisfaction with price fixing pol
icies.
Mr.. Andersen declared in his
statement that "the unfairness of
fuel oil rationing has now become a
national scandal"
UNLESS drastic changes are made
N fuel oil distribution within the
next two weeks" he said, untold
suffering will occur in many Sec
tons of the country, which may re-
suit in epidemics and disaster"
Mr.. Andersen said he would urge
Mr.. Henderson's successor to take
prompt action to change all unfair
rationing rules" in the distribution
of gasoline and oil.

Inaction 10 Check
Rubber Monopoly

Senators Told
Dy the Associated Press.


Alfred E. Kahn, q Justice De-
partment attorney, told the Senate
Patents Committee today that big
American rubber firms had done
little to check { monopoly in their
raw material supply, and declared
their inaction was undoubtedly
attributable in part to their own
stake in Far Eastern rubber"
Among what he termed the big
-Four" companies, Mr.. Kahn said
Goodyear, United States Rubber
and Firestone maintained foreign
rubber plantations. while Goodrich
did not.
TT will be noted" he said, that
the Goodrich Co. has led the others
in experimentation with synthetic
rubbers."
The values placed on the rub
ber plantations of Goodyear. United
States Rubber and Firestone
amounted to 6 per cent. II per cent
and IL per cent, respectively. OF the
total values of those three COM
panies," Mr.. Kahn testified.

Rubber Co.'S financial statement for
1888 when the Rubber Plantation
Co. was consolidated with its par
ent discloSes that the United States
Rubber Co. was making a 80 per
cent profit on its cost of producing
crude rubber.
Assuming that the other COM
panies were making similar profits
for similar reasons, the ownership
of these large estates may have
tended to give them an interest in
the maintenance of the status quo

CRUDE DEMAND
GREATER THAN
AUGUST YIELD

Montana oil fields produced an av-
erage Of 22,300 barrels per day during
the month Of August. as against a
rate Of 22,SO0 Dbl per day recommend
ed by the OPC, according to the Au-
gust report Of the oil conservation
board.
The August production showed a
slight gain over the July total while
the total market again exceeded pro-
duction resulting on further lower
ing OF storage oil.
Shipments TO Canada declined from
1895 Dbl in July TO llO,262 Dbl in
August but exports to Idaho and
Washington increased from l1e,626 to
1868 Dbl Montana refiners increased
their runs from $4,000 Dbl. in July TO
SO. 698 Dbl in August. Total market in
August was 796,04s Dbl. against IT'S
l4i Dbl in July.
Since August consumption exceeded
production. storage oil was drawn upon
to the extent OF 103,754 Dbl This brings
storage down 81 Dos Dbl since January
1. to a total Of l02s.43l. This repre-
sents less than a six-week supply,

Celebrates His
5Oth Anniversary
In Oil Business

A $50 barrel well evolved from a
bone dry hole was the golden an
niversary present Of r. D. dick"
Riley, veteran Montana oil man.
Riley entered the oil business so
years ago in September when he
was II years Of age, spending half
a century drilling and producing
oil wells. He is now president Of
Ka1-Bar OH company, a joint OPP
Grafton Of Barmac Production Co.
and KalispeI-Kevin oil company.
His first wen was a bone dry
hole. Unwilling to take that Jolt,
he applied a heavy shot Of nitro
glycerin and developed a small
showing Of oil. Encouraged, he
gave 1t 500 gallons Of hydrochloric
acid. It made a producer but It
quickly fell off until 1t was making
so barrels Of oil and water. He and
his associates decided to make one
more try, so last week they gave
it a second shot Of acid, this time
1000 gallons. The response was o
production OF asa barrels of oil and
the water disappeared entirely.
Thus the God Of Petrol smiled
on Dick Riley's golden anniver-
sary.
