Faces Farm Draft,
Salary Measures
President Would Kill Bills
As Being Unfoir, He
Contends in Rodio Talk
By The Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
The prospect of a presidential
veto figured today in congressional
discussion Of two measures likely to
pass despite strong Administration
ppoSition-blanket draft defer
mentS for farmers and repeal Of
the Roosevelt salary limitation.
Senator Tydings. Democrat of
Maryland satd he believed that if
Congress passes the farm workers
deferment bill president Roosevelt
viii veto it as being unfair in the
extreme to which it has gone" The
measure is sponsored by Senator
Bankhead, Democrat Of Alabama
and nearly 40 colleagues.
Senator Tydings Contended in a
radio talk that 1t would exempt from
military service all farm workers.
regardless of the amount of food
they produce. or regardless of the
fact a replacement may be avail
liable and called this 'indiScrimi-
nate class legislation"
Amendments Offered.
The Senate resumes debate on it
tomorrow. The bill hung fire all
last week While various amendments
and substitutes were considered.
Two remain to be acted on-an
amendment by Senator Downey.
Democrat Of California to freeze all
transportation workers III their Jobs
IN labor shortage areas and a sub
stitute by Senator Pepper, Democrat,
Of Florida establishing a mobile
emergency workers corps to meet
pressing labor shortages in any
locality. 1t would be financed by a
S300000,000 appropriation
The measure to nullify President
RooseVelt'S orde" limiting all salar-
les to S25,000 after taxes was passed
by the House last week by more
than a tWO-thlrdS majority and Sen
ator johnson, Democrat of Colorado,
OF the Finance Committee predicted
today that the Senate would approve
it Or similar bill by an equally
wide margin, which would be Suffl-
cient to override a presidential veto
II the issue came to that.
Repeater on Debt Limit Bill.
The repeater is attached to legis-
lation increasing the statutory debt
limit from $125.00O 100000 to S21O.-
900, 100000, however, and Senator
johnson expressed the view that
veto therefore was unlikely. The
national debt stood near S1l4000.-
100000 exclusive of guaranteed OBJ
legations March l and the Treasury
plans a new S130o00000O0 financ-
ing drive to start April u.
Some members of the Finance
Committee, which now has the bill .
felt that the House rider did not
60 far enough. Drafted by Repre-
sentative Disney, Democrat, of
Oklahoma, it provides in effect that |
salaries which exceeded $4,000 be- |
fore December 7, 194l, could not be
reduced by Government order. but |
that salaries which were below that /
figure then could not rise above
S25,000 now.

Government Action to
Spur Discoveries
By he Associated Press.

By ne Associated Press.
NEW YORK, March 15.-Phillips
/ Petroleum Co. reported today the
Nations inventory Of crude oil was
at the lowest level in nearly 20
years and amounted to about 10
days supply at current rates of
consumption.
Unless discovery of new under
ground crude oil reserves is soon
increased said the report, signed
by Chairman Frank Phillips and
President K. S. Adams, "a real
shortage Of oil may oCur when sup
plies are most urgently needed for
fighting fronts over the world.
The present unfavorable trend
can be reversed only by raising the
price of crude oil, with appropriate
adjustments in prices of products.
This would make possible the costly
and uncertain exploratory efforts
that discover new oil fields"
The Phillips report typifying the
wars impact on one of the Nations
largest industries, put net income
for the company in 1912 at S13.129.-
458, or S2,95 a share, against ST.
436,977, or 1892 a share, in 1941.
The decline in net after taxes and
reserves was, despite rise in gross
income to S144, ,369, TAO, the largest
in the company's history and 81 ,653,-
l56 greater than in 194l.
Virtually all the company's op-
erations are geared to war tasks, the
report said.
Texas Co. Adds Plea.
Texas Co, over the signature of
its president, w. S. S. Rodgers, added
its warning to those of other major
companies which have noted a de-
Clining trend in the Nations crude
petroleum reserves.
Unless oil fields of the maeni-
tude Of East Texas or Kettleman
Hills are discovered in this country.
Mr.. Rodgers pointed out, it will be
necessary to increase the number
of wildcat wells drilled or develop
an entirely new technique for locat-
ing oil
The Texas Co. reported consoli-
dated net profit for 1912 of 5,06O,-
