Sfote Oil Freight
Rute MoY Be Lower

Lower transportation costs for oil
producers of Wyoming, Montana
and Colorado may come soon, ac-
cording to a recent announcement
by Wyoming's Senator O'Mahoney.
The defense supplies corporation
recently, at the request of petroleum
administration for war, granted to
producers of crude in west Texas
a subsidy on tank car movement
of their product to the midcon-
tinent field because pipe lines were
not able to carry enough oil to the
war plants. Intermountain prOduc-
ers telegraphed Senator O'Mahoney
that the subsidy to west Texas was
working to the detriment of Wyo-
ming producers.

Oil Problems
Gone Over at
Casper Meet

Observation-Disclosures, price and
manpOwer problems were reviewed
at a meeting of the production COM
mittee of District 4, PAW, conducted
here last week with oil men from
Wyoming, Montana and Colorado
in attendance
The meeting was addressed by
D. r. Knowlton, director of produc-
ton for the PAW, and Robert V.
Shirk of the manpower section of
the production division, both of
Washington, d. c. Presiding was
r. S. Shannon of Denver.
Production Director Knowlton
discussed the several phases of field
activities and declared that the time
was near when the entire produc-
tive capacity of this area would
be required to help supply war and
domestic needs. He held out little
hope of relief for the manpoweT@
problem, but said the material sup
ply situation was improving.
No general increase in the price
of crude oil is likely, he added, but
he brought assurance that plans of
the OPA for substituting production
from stripper wells are being
placed in final form. Subsidies viii
be placed on a field or district
basis, depending upon the average
production of wells, and subsidies
will range from to 20 to IS cents
per barrel Many questions remain
to be adjusted in application of the
program, which viii also provide
subsidies for marginal stripper
wells in fields which otherwise
could not qualify for subsidy pay
mentS.
Shirk discussed labor needs in
detail and measures taken to allie
viate the manpower shortage.

In the interview at Washington,
Brown declared that proceedings of
the general land office, with refer
ence TO attempts 20 wipe out min
ing claims, were not 4secret"
The skeptical Starmont there
upon went to the Spokane land of
fee and found out that 400 pending
cases against mining claims were
perhaps not secret but instead
were labeled confidential, and as
such not subject TO public inspec-
ton.
Meantime, developments are be
ing watched with interest by min
ing men throughout the northwest,
with the very excellent possibility
the whole affair may be aired be
fore congressional investigating
committee.

In Washington, the Reviews cor
respondent, Harry j. Brown, inter-
viewed Commissioner Fred w
Johnson, who declared:
Field agents of the general land
office are checking on validity of
mineral locations throughout the
west, only where those locations lie
within areas taken over by the war
or navy department for war pur-
poses, such as bombing fields, train
ing fields, flying and landing
fields"
This brought from Carl ]. Trauer-
man. of Butte, OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES of
the Mining Association of Montana,
the charge that agents of the gen.
eral land office are attacking valid
ity of 48 claims near Melrose, and
that these claims are not included
in any federal war project of any
sort.

board spokesman has revealed.
The question was described as a
delicate" one, because gold mining
curbs, which were applied to divert
manpower and machinery to the
production of metals more useful in
the war effort
A favorable decision in the Cana
dian request would Immediately
raise the question of similar conces-
sions to domestic gold producers, as
well as those in other parts of the
world, notably South Africa.
Because of these international
complications, the mining division
of the war production board passed
the Canadian proposal up to the
combined board, joint American
Canadian-British agency, for guild
ance. The amount of equipment
asked by Canada was not disclosed.
Some tendencies toward relaxa-
ton of the gold mining shutdown
in this country have been noted,
mainly mOtivated by the desire to
protect the idle mines from ruin by
water and disuse
Pressure for the reopening of gold
mines has been exerted by western
state senators and congressman
with proponents arguing that the
major purpose of the shutdown
the diversion of gold miners into
copper, zinc and other essential
mining and smelling operations
has been a failure They have as
serted that a large proportion of

The Orient again is becoming a
sinkhole for gold and silver and the
amounts that are being absorbed
are limited only by the supply. Gold
in the free markets of Turkey and
India rose sharply recently. Fear of
invasion is stimulating the desire
TO get rid of paper money and Sc
cure something that win always
have value-gold.
At Bombay about thousand per-
sons formed a queue at the entrance
of the Reserve Bank of India, clam
oring for small gold bars, the sale
Of which has become a profitable
business venture
The Reserve Bank of India, 1t is
estimated, has sold about 10000
ounces of gold TO private buyers
within the past eight days The de-
mand is broadening and sales are
made up to eight days ahead. It is
understood the bank has restricted
sales to 175,000 ounces a day.
A Reuters dispatch from Teheran
states that the National Bank of
Iran has sold 500 tons of silver to
the Indian overnment, lending sup
port TO reports that the government
intends to intervene in the silver
market which, as yet, it has made
no attempt to control
The buying of gold in the free
market of India has reached great
proportions. In the latest week re-
ported the public bought over $40,-
100000 of gold and paid prices of
double the official London price
The buying has been increasing in
extent and is obviously expressing
distruSt of the present valuation of
all currencies. The Indian gold buy
ing is of real significance to gold
mining interests.
China got 5000, 100000 of gold via
lease-lend, this gold to be used to
combat initiation, according to Off
cial statement. This means it will
be sold to the public to induce them
TO release farm and other goods.
The S200,000,000 probably will
quickly disappear and more will have
TO be flown in.
Col Charles Frampton Stallard,
minister of mines of the Union of
South Africa, told the Union parlia-
ment recently that the country
would refuse to take payment for
its newly mined gold in any fixed
quantity of an artificial interna
tional currency set up for postwar
purposes, but instead would de
mand free market for the yellow
metal Mr. Stallard, in pleading fol-
a free gold market, said.
Where there is a free markei
price, it is very much greater thar
the fixed price It is not 168 shillingl
a fine ounce 1.-THE British treasury!
fixed price, but up to $40 shillings
If an arbitrary paper money is estah
lished we won't sell our gold TO
any fixed quantity of this pape
money, We will want the highes
price we can get. A free market TO
gold is requirement for Soutl
Africa in any postwar arrange
ment."

MOSCOW, Jan. 12.-In the face
of German counter-attacks, the
Russians kept up their advance in
the western Ukraine north and
south of Sarny, where the Red
Army is pushing westward after
cutting the north and south rail-
road through the Pripet Marshes
to points seven miles to the north
and south of Sarny. The Russians
are just rs miles short of being
halfway between Kiev and Warsaw.
eThe dispatch suggested the Rus
slams are plunging through old Po-
land, by-passing Sarny, IS miles in
side the old frontier Besides the
troops north and south Of the city,
other Russians were last reported
five miles east of Sarny).
Violent Battling
Red Star, the official army news
paper said: ION many sectors Of
fensive battles are assuming more
violent character, as the enemy
has introduced new units to COM
plete his defeated infantry and tank
divisions"
Other Russian columns are ad-
vancing toward Rumania and have
increased the threat to the Odessa
Warsaw Railroad in the upper
Dnieper bend sector. The Germans,
by hard fighting and heavy losses,
are still holding open the narrow
escape corridor from the Smela and
Kanev area, where they are squeez-
ed between the First and Second
Ukrainian Armies.
Nazi Peril Increases
No Russian report has suggested
a German withdrawal, although the
peril to the Nazis in this sector has
increased with every hour, the Red
Star said.
Furious tank charges by the Nazis
on the troops of General Vatutin
the Odessa Warsaw
Railroad were beaten back by guer-
lila attachments, who are lending
valuable aid to the Soviet regulars
The Germans also reported
launching fierce counterassaults
south and southwest of Berdichev,
but those too were smashed, the
Red Star added 34
