oil deals involving Wyoming, Mon
tana, and other Rocky mountain
state properties during the last
month or so. The big major COM
panies, as soon as a new field Is
discovered, jump in to make trades
to acquire the oil properties from
the small operators who took the
risk of validating the various areas
which turned out to be productive.
cit is estimated major companies.
have spent around SIS. 100000 for
oil producing properties and refin-
cries in the Rocky mountain area
during the last few months.
Many companies with huge
profits piled up as a result of war
operations have sensed the POSSIBLE
tiles in prospecting for oil. They
can charge off their expenses for
drilling against their excess profits
taxes. If nothing happens, the com
pany is out nothing for its efforts.
The government pays. But If the
drillers get oil production, income
from the well can be extended over
a long period of years under more
favorable tax conditions. Some oil
drillers, too, who have been sue
cessful in their operations and have
piled up profits subject to heavy
income taxes have been extending
their operations, trying for new
fields as fast as drilling rigs are
released from other properties.
--latest wrinkle to avoid big in
come tax profits is to invest in oil
stocks. If they lose, operators mere
ly charge off their losses and the
government pays So brokers who
worked up deals for such oper.
ators are getting pennies from
heaven The only trouble with
such deals is that the public, no.
ticing the advance in the stock
picked for operation, gets sucked
into the play and sometimes ends
up with nothing but fancy stock
certificates. In such plays, brokers
generally have stockholders list
for assistance in their operations.

Well, to get back to my report
ing-Chicago is simply jammed with
Republicans. Why it's as hard fol
a Democrat to get into the Sher-
man House as it is for Republican
to get into the White House.
I went over to the Republican
headquarters at tha Stevens Hotel
and found them in an uproar of ex-
element. They had heard a rumor
that Mrs Roosevelt was in town on
a reconnaissance flight, but I didn't
believe 1t. y. What would Eleanor
be doing this close to Washington?
I was welcomed to the convention
by Gov Green of Illinois. Oh, what
q handsome man! He reminded me
over and over again OF my husband
George. Finally / asked him to stop
reminding me of George because he
was spelling my fun.
Being real, honest-to-goodness
newspaper reporter was all new to
me, so I askedi LoueIla Parsons, who
Is an experienced newspaper woman,
just what should do. She told me
to takes notes while the politicians
were talking. So I did, and here
they are:

groups in the convention place on
the meaning of this or that word
in the plank.
Speaking to the New Jersey dele
CATION, Gov. Edge said:
Il am definitely an internation-
alist. I have talked with Senator
Austin and I think he agrees with
me that we must not adopt a plank
that just deals in words that weasel
or are evasive. Either we take q
responsibility to maintain peace or
we do not.
ITS better to be a party to pre-
venting war than to be a party to
war with all its mass murder. I
believe the Eastern and Coastal
States feel that way. I am sorry
about the Midwest but let's give
the candidate we nominate a plat
form the Eastern and Coastal States
can be proud of. hope the plank
will be satisfactory, but am giving
notice now 1 am willing and ready
to carry the fight to the floor of
the convention"
Meanwhile, despite several days
of preliminary work by subcommit-
tees, the Platform Drafting Com
mittee, headed by Senator Taft of
Ohio, still faced considerable work
during the next "a hours to get the
party's statement of campaign prin-
ciples ready for presentation to the
convention Tuesday
Although he would like to hold
the document to 1900 words, Sena-
tor Taft said today he did not be-
lieve that could be done.
Senator Taft, who is scheduled to
head the Resolutions Committee
announced that 1t will hold an open
hearing at 3 O'Clock this afternoon
to hear Van A. Bittner, CIO Steel
Workers Union official, and any
any other spokesman for nationa!
groups who may not have been
heard during the preconvention de-
liberations.
The Labor Subcommittee headed
by William l.. Hutcheson of the Car
penters Union (AFL) last nigh,
turned in to the Drafting Committee
a 1,000-word outline of the proposed
plank on the problems of workers
1t was indicated that while the
plank will not refer by name to the
Governments seizure of the Mont
gomery Ward mail order house
recently, it may contain a reference
to the general principles involved
in that case.

Roosevelt NEEDLES
With Conduct Of War,
Green Tells COP
By the Associated Press


CHICAGO, June 26.- Gov.
Dwight H. Green of Illinois to-
day accused the Roosevelt ad-
,,11inistration of political med
ding" with Army and Navy
heads In the conduct of the war
and pledged that the Repub-
,licans, if victorious in November,
will give the professional fight
ing men a free hand.
Welcoming delegates to the Re-
publican National Convention, Gov.
Green denounced New Dealers" as
seeking to remain in power on
.'win-the-war" slogan and asserted:
1.-THE winning of the war Is upper
most in the mind of every Ameri-
can. There is no win -the-war'
party In America and public opinion
has so properly rebuked the attempts
of the New Dealers to grab that
slogan that they have almost COM
spletely abandoned it."
: He said a Republican triumph
this year would strike dread into
ed1C 1lCdA 10 Va pAlC CtlCluy.
: They will know that the Govern
.ment of this Nation has passed into
the hands of men determined to cut
all the red tape and bureaucratic
interference with the trained lead
,ers OF the United States Army and
Navy" Gov. Green said. Those
officers will have in the conduct of
the war the unstinted support of the
Republican administration, free
from the political meddling of Sec
ond-string bureaucrats."
, He praised the delegates as "un-
swayed by the weird pretense that
an indispensable man exists" and
said they were dedicated to work
not only for 1.-The heralded objec-
tives of the four freedoms but re-
solved to re-establish here in Amer
.ica the SO freedoms guaranteed to
all citizens under the Constitution.
