OMahoneY Is
lighting For
Oil Financing

The hope of North Rocky Mountain
independent operators to get adequate
finances with which to carry on a drill
ing campaign adequate to supply mill
tary demands Of the Alaskan highway
and other Northwest markets rests
largely with the present efforts of
Senator J. c. O'Mahoney of Wyoming
10 arrange RFC loans for responsible
oil operators.
Senator O'Mahoney has pointed out
that other industries producing war
materials have had RFC funds made
available and that petroleum supplies
present a problem far more grave than
is generally understood
"The immediate discovery Of add
tional sources of oil is imperative"
he said in a recent radio address. at
is so imperative that unless new sup
plies are made available, we stand
in grave danger of not having enough
petroleum with which to fight the war.
The present supplies are definitely not
sufficient and we have not as yet
taken adequate precautions to be pre-
pared for the crisis that is now upon
us"
Discussing the growing military needs
and pointing out that current discOv
cries cannot be marketed in time to
help the immediate crisis, he said: of
you are to maintain the balance dur
ing l943, disregarding completely the
new demand, it will be necessary to
discover, either in new fields or by
extensions of old fields, enough new
oil to amount to 100000 barrels every
day
Government loans to so-called wild
caters are necessary because under
present conditions the independent OPP
orator is unable to secure the necessary
loans through ordinary banking chan
nels. A short-term loan is not suffi-
cient. The Independent operator who
does not have the backing of large
financial reserves must have the sup
port of long-term government loans
because in the present economic situa-
tion banks and other private sources
of capital are unable to meet the emer-
geney."

Tckes Promises
Independents
Need Not Fear

This is a war of machines and Of
ships and Of airplanes powered by oil.
In short, this is an OIL WAR"
It was Harold L. Ickes, Petroleum
Administrator for War, speaking be-
fore the Wisconsin Petroleum associa-
ton. He blamed some of the Eastern
oil troubles on "the rape of the Illinois
oil fields"
"a legislative clique under the leader
ship of a democratic lieutenant COVER
nor, who admittedly was specializing
in oil lands and leases, persisted in
keeping the throttles wide open while
rich petroleum resources flowed un-
checked into the ditch" he said.
Independents were promised ga fair
deal on an equitable basis with your
competitors" "You are concerned, and
naturally so, lest, in any attempt at
consolidating oil industry facilities and
equipment, the larger interests viii be
adequately taken care of and you will
be the ones to suffer the most. So that
you may be treasured on this score, I
state unqualifiedly that we propose to
move in the direction of cancellations
only in the event of absolute necessity
and then only after having given full
consideration to the equities involved"

MoY Jump Output
Of Ohio Leases

Use of acidization is expected to de-
velop considerable new production on
properties of Ohio Oil company, pur-
chased last week by The Texas com
pany.
Of Sc wells drilled by Ohio, S6 are
producing from the Madison lime con-
tact. Few of these have been acidized
with modern methods. Some of them
were treated with "dump shots" in the
early days Of aeidization and have not
since been treated. Twelve of the SO
lime wells have been treated. Also, GER
tain areas within the Ohio leases have
not been drilled to the lime since acid
ization was introduced, notably in the
area south of the Sunburst sand pro-
duction.
Thirty wells drilled by Ohio in the
leases purchased by Texaco were to
the Sunburst sand Ohio has made little
effort to increase production either by
drilling or acidization because of lack
of market until recently.

straight-speaking Rubber Director w.

Washington bureaucrats on Monday
when he told why synthetic rubber
production is not up to schedule.
"So-called expediters-the army and
navy loafers" prevent smooth opera

he charged, bringing into the open
his dispute with War Production Chief
Nelson over steel priorities.
If there were Cess interference"
there is no reason why the rubber

said.

a little heavily, and covered.

sargie-wargie see what he can find

He returned in a few minutes,
frowning YEARLY. Private Har-
grove" he sighed, dear Private Har-
grove! You didn't draw your pay
on the 10th of November because you
on furlough! And you didn't
sign the payroll for today because
you were on furlough while 1t was
being signed. Your modest pay for
October has been in the battery
safe for three weeks, just waiting
for you to get around to picking
it up."
He took a small envelope from
behind his back. "TWenty-one dol
lars for services rendered through
the month of October. Harrumph!
Minus two-forty for theater tickets
minus a dollar for haircuts, minus
seven dollars for canteen checks.
Private Hargrove, I present to you
your October wages-ten dollars and
sixty cents!"
I took the money, looked at 1t
tenderly and crammed it into my
pocket.
