BUSINESS:
Oil Supply

Because a tremendous area Of
prospective oil territory remains to
be tested and petroleum could be
produced from enormous reserves of
coal and shale, the u. S. need have
no undue concern over future oil
supplies, Edward G. Schubert, presi.
dent of Standard Oil company OF
Indiana, told stockholders in the
course of report on the firms bust
ness in 1943, showing profit of
$50, SOL, 81.
At the same time, President Ralph
w. Gallagher of Standard Oil COM
pany of New Jersey, in announcing
profits of $121, 327,773 for 1943, told
shareholders that although the U. S.
was assured of sufficient oil in the
future, two principal problems
existed, namely, discovery of more
oil, and institution of sound, world
wide conservation policies to pre-
vent Wastage in production.

CIVILIAN GOODS:
Increase Opposed

While congressional lie a d e r s
pressed for an increase in output of
civilian goods in view of surplus of
certain materials and cancellation of
some war contracts, government Of
ficials cautioned against any consid-
cradle boost in production over
present levels.
War Production Car Donald Mel
son said military output must be in
creased in the immediate future and
maintained at high peaks until ac-
tual needs for operations in western
Europe are established.
Undersecretary of War Robert
Patterson opposed any notable
switch to civilian production on the
grounds that it would create UNI
founded optimism and lead to rush
from war plants to obtain jobs in
consumer goods industries.

of any move to send Canadian con-
scripts overseas.
Said Chalout: transcription for

authorities were sincere at the time,
they should abolish it now since
there is no more danger of an inva-
sion of Canada"

While the U. S. and British pre-
pared for hostilities in the west, the
Russians were repeatedly organizing
strength for a new drive into east

AGRICULTURE:
Hog CIut

In the wake of the government
move to buy all corn in 125 mid
western counties for sorely pressed
processing industries, heavy hog
shipments clogged slaughtering CEN
tiers, resulting in embargoes in some
centers, notably st. Louis, Mo-, and
Peoria, Ill.
The large shipments were believed
also influenced by short feed sup
plies after two years of extensive
use of grain for fattening record
numbers of stock, and the govern
ment's plan for minimum price of
$3.50 per hundredweight for this
fall.
Taking note Of the dwindling feed
stocks, OPA announced that effec-
tive May Is, the ceiling price on
hogs over 240 pounds would be cut
to $14 per hundredweight, to discour-
age heavy finishing off.
Dairy Subsidy
To encourage conservation Of
grains during the pasture season to
provide for heavier feed during the
fall and winter months, the War
Food administration announced SUBJ
sidy payment rates for dairy produc-
ton for the next IL months.
Although rates during the next
four months will range from IS to
IS cents a hundred pounds for whole
milk and cents a pound for butter
fat, beginning September and end
ing next March 81, rates will range
between go to 80 cents for whole
milk and 10 cents for butterfat.
Estimated to cost between $780,
900, 900 and $500, 600, 600 annually, the
whole program is dependent upon
congressional appropriations for ad-
ministrative expenses, VIA said.

BASEBALL VETERAN: Tony
Mullane, oldest major league base
ball star, died in Chicago at IS. He
first played with the St. Louis
Browns and later went to the Gin
cinnati Reds as their star pitcher.
He ended his career in 1897 with
the St. Paul club. Another claim to
fame was that he was said to be the
only pitcher who could throw with
either hand.
WORKING WOMEN: At the end
of March the total number of women
employed stood at 16,88O, 900, an in
crease of 100000 over March of 1943.
according to the bureau Of census.
On the other hand, the male labor
force declined 100000 in the same
12-month period to 34,48O, 900.
TOKENS: Those red and blue ra-
ton tokens are good for something
else besides trading for meat and
canned goods. People are putting
them in slot machines of all sorts
and often getting results in chewing
gum, free rides, and even war
stamps.
REFRIGERATOR: The Interstate
Commerce commission has forbid

refrigerator cars to prevent short
age in the supply of these cars,
which are needed to haul perishable
