CHARGES Oil Price
(Coniinufd From PAGE One)

clare that ''lt Is startling but true that
II the 81 cent Increase were allowed,
most straight oil producing companies
would be able to DOUBLE THEIR
PROFITS after taxes"
On the question of wages and oil
prices, the committee remarked:
Certainly, wages of oil workers can
not be offered us II ground for price
increases. Labor costs In the oil In
dustry run only 10 to II per cent Of
total costs. Thus wages could even be
doubled with little effect on prices"
Oil Shortage Denied
The committee declared the aSSer-
ton that "A shortage OF crude oil Is
imminent Is not borne out by the facts
and said:
THE way To avoid n shortage In the
future Is not To strip our reserves dry
by the inducement of higher prices,
but 10 import more from South Amer
lean countries such as Colombia and
Venezuela and thus conserve our own
resources.
I'VE urge the Office Of Price Ad-
ministration to set It's face against the
demand for a 80 cent barrel increase
in oil prices. We shall likewise urge
the Director of Economic Sterilization
to reject all pressure that may be
brought to relax the price ceiling"

Francis Biddle urging an immediate
federal grand jury investigation Of the
Detroit situation.
The telegram, signed by groups de-
voted to race understanding, referred
to newspaper reports that Prosecutor
bowling, supported by Police Com
missioner Witherspoon of Detroit,
placed the blame for the recent riots
on the Negroes. This, the wire said,
has so greatly undermined the CON

nation that only federal grand jury
investigation of the Detroit riots will
be effective"
Attorney General Biddle was told
that unless the Detroit race situation
is relieved and further friction pre-
vented by the federal government,
serious race riots will break out in
more than dozen cities in the nation
where riots are threatened at present. y
The telegram was sent following
newspaper reports that Special Prose
cutor Bowling Of Detroit refused to
grant the request of Mayor Edward
J. JeilrieS' Committee on Interracial
Peace to convene a local grand jury to
investigate the race riots.

"LabOr'S record of efficiency is being
posted with victories on the far-hung
battle fronts of the world. The equip

fields, transportation and communica-
tions facilities all along the line.
"The War Production Board, now
calling for increased effort by all
workers, rather than any 'letdOwn' by
reason of occasional good news, has
repeatedly complmented both the
loyalty and efficiency of American Ia

out of official circles, one hears more
frequently now about the good things
that labor is doing. The bad always

to do its part in enlightening the pub

ernment in the war.
Numerous others have recently
come out with similar statements.
These include the stirring speech by
Representative William A. Rowan, of
Illinois, previously reported by the
Labor News Service to
the labor press of the nation.
Not only has the American work
man turned out equipment, ammuni-
ton, guns, tanks, planes and ships, in
a manner that has astounded the
world and bewildered our enemies,
said Congressman Rowan, but he has
bought heavily of war bonds. He
has likewise given of his blood to the
of civilian defense, and otherwise
manned efficiently the home portion of
the great war front.
"Iie pointed out that labOr'S cOOpera-

their efforts since that time. He added
