Association
Picks Stock
AS President

CASPER Paul Stock, in
dependent operator of Cody,
was reelected president of the
Rocky Mountain Oil and Gas
association at a meeting of
directors which concluded the
business sessions of the annual
meeting here.
Other officers named to guide the
association, reorganized here last
year, are:
James DOnoghue, Denver, presi-
dent of the Mackenzie Oil and Drill
ing company, first vice president
Fred Goodstein. Casper, president
of the Trigood Oil company, and
r. B. Curran, Billings, northwest
ern division manager of the Cart
er Oil company, second vice presi-
dents
Gilbert j. Mueller, Denver. vice
president of the Argo Oil Corpora
ton, treasurer.
The convention went on record
recommending that Secretary of the
Interior Ickes endorse and support,
and the congress enact, the O'Ma-
honey-Hatch public lands leasing
bill (Senate 1886 and House BID
where amended to conform with the
suggestions of subcommittee on
lands of the National Oil Policy
committee, in its report of October
%.
The resolution, in effect, endorsed
the qualifications to the leasing bill
which A. c. Mattel, San Francisco.
reported to the convention. The
leasing measure was the major
item to come before the conven-
ton and Senator Joseph c. O'Ma-
honey, one of its sponsors, made
specially transcribed address which
was heard by convention delegates.
The principal revisions which
Mattel reported to the convention
were to ease demands for a flat
1215 per cent royalty to cover leases
not on proven structures, and to APP
ply to discoveries made since the
war emergency was proclaimed in
1941.

pany owed the state a sum of money
at the time its original lease ex-
pired and the board refused to rec
ognize its right to even apply so
long as the Indebtedness was on
the books. This was cleaned up
earlier in 1916 and so the Handel
application for a new lease was
accepted and the property adver-
tised.
THE Handel company did not par
ticipate in the spirited bidding that
marked the hearing Dec 4, resting
its case on the hope that the land
board would recognize its right to
meet the best bid offered. However,
it was not until just before today's
meeting started that a draft was
submitted and the board held that
such an offer must be made at the
conclusion of the bidding"

Some Changes
In PersOnneI

Several Geological Survey per
sonnet changes of interest to OPP
orators and holders of public and
Indian-land oil and gas leases in the
southwestern and western United
States have been announced re-
Gently.
Harold G. Barton, formerly SUI
pervisor of oil and gas operations
for the California region, whose
supervisory territory embraced Cal
ifornia and Alaska, has been trans
ferred to Washington, D. c., to as
sumo the duties of chief of the oil
and gas leasing division.
Leroy G. Snow, formerly super
visor at Roswell, New Mexico, has
succeeded Barton as supervisor for
the California region.
Foster Morrell, formerly deputy
supervisor at Roswell, has sue
ceeded Snow as supervisor of oil
and gas operations for the south
western region, which embraces all
of New Mexico, southwestern Colo
RADIO, southeastern Utah, all of
Arizona except the portion north
of the Colorado river, and all of
Texas west of the Tooth meridian.

mediately with development of
offsetting the Schrock-Fifer gus
week ended.
Giving on affirmative aspect to
the situation was action of the
state land board in formally award
ing the acreage to the Farmers
Union. in a session held this week
in Helena in which the board ac-
cepted the Farmers Union total bid
of about $4,000 for leases on 200
acres north of the gusher tract.
Giving a negative slant to the
picture, however, was a district
court action filed in Petroleum
County by the Handel Oil Com
pany directed against the board of
land commissioners, and asking
that the state be restrained from
selling the acreage.
Further cIouding the issue
was an order issued Thursday
by District Judge George w.
Padbury at Helena, in which
the state land board was Or
dered to show cause by Dec. 81
why Handel Oil Company, Origi-
nal holders of the lease, should
not again be given ii, following
their tender of sum equal to
that bid by the Farmers Union
Central Exchange at the sale
last week.
In approving leasing of 40 acres
TO the Farmers Union for S650.75
an acre, 40 acres for S15075 an
acre and 100 acres for S50.75 an
acre, the state land board WedneS-
day was forced TO move TO the
bedside of Secretary of State Sam
Mitchell to obtain the needed
quorum.
According to Luke Wright, Hell
ena correspondent for the Great
Falls Tribune
The original lease on the 200
acres was issued to the Handel Oil
Co. of Roundup in 1928 This COM
pany exercised its options and the
lease was renewed at five-year in
tervalS for the full 20 years. Since
then the Handel company has re.
NAMED on the property and has
sought 10 exercise preferential
rights TO retain it. The land board.
however, has held that whatever
rights Handel had under the old
lease have expired and rejected it's
proffer to meet the high bid of the
Farmers Union Exchange.
"The new lease involves the pay
ment of from $3.50 to $50 premium,
above the minimum price of IS
cents an acre for the first year of
operations. Thereafter the price
will be rs cents an acre.
The land board was anxious to
speed the completion of the lease
despite the complications that may
lead to legal action by the Handel
firm, because flowing wells imme
diately to the south obviously are
draining oil from the sands that
underlie the state land and the
quicker offsets are drilled on the
lease the more oil will be recovered
for the state Royalty of 125s per
cent on all production throughout
the life of the lease goes into the
state school fund
Representative of the Handle
company protested today that they
had made application for a new
lease shortly after the old one ex
pired in 1913 but were told that M
record of it appears in the lanC
department. Investigation revealed
that this paradox can be explained
by the fact that the Handel com

Governmental problem

governmental problem.
Warehouses in this country and
on foreign shores are bullying with
metals and other minerals acquired
for wartime use. Producers want to
know whether these stockpiles, an
obvious threat to future markets,
are to be released for sale In
dustrial consumers wonder if they
shouldn't be siphOned out to pre-
vent reconyersion price squeeze.
Military officials ponder the adj
visibility of locking up vast ton
nages of imported commodities as
a safeguard against possible fu-
ture emergency.
Congressional action will be ne
cessary before January if the ac-
cumulated materials are to be re-
tanned. The surplus property law
specifies that accumulations of sur
plus materials shall be sold after
Jan. 3 unless congress provides
otherwise by law. President Tru-
man has called for a peacetime
stockpiling program and both the
house and senate military affairs
committees are considering bills.
Devoting his remarks primarily to
stOckpiling bill S. 1881, Julian D.
COnover, secretary of the American
Mining Congress, told members of
the senate committee on military
affairs at a hearing recently that
certain provisions of this bill would
cause the mining industry serious
concern and, in his opinion, GER
tain amendments would be required
if the fundamental purpose of the
legislation-ou future military Sc
curity-is to be attained
The principle of stockpiling for
national defense has, of course, the
approval and Endorsement of the
mining industry, Conover said. AS
brought out by previous witnesses.
Conover pointed out that such stock
piles serve an important function
in providing an immediate supply
of strategic materials-principa
minerals and metals-to meet the
tremendous surge in requirements
for munitions production and re-
lated industries that takes place
during war emergency.
Because of their Importance,
congress in the past has rightfully
retained control over these stock
piles and has permitted their use
only in war emergencies. Congress
should retain stockpiling control
in the future No administrative
agency should have the power to
use or release the stockpiles with
out specific congressional approval
except for the purpose for which
they were created.
We do not for moment be-
lleve that the patriotic and ex-
perlenced men connected with the
present stockpile program would
permit these reserves to be dissi-
pated; but time passes, administra-
tive personnel changes, and the

"A Gracious and
Wise Gesture

DRESIDENT TRUMAN,S con.
Il sultation with Herbert Hoover,
his only living predecessor, on the
problems of European relief needs
was a gracious personal gesture.
Il was also a most sagacious ap-
sroach to solution of the worlds
complicated problems of food dis
tribution.
Mr.. Hoover is a respected elder
statesman, by virtue of having been
president of the United States-and
it is fitting that he should be held in
esteem by his successors in office, be
consulted by them and be accorded
the distinction which is inherent in
the proffered hospitality of the
White House.
But more important, Mr.. Hoover
is an acknowledged authority on
food distribution, has experience in
the matter extending over long
period of years, and has an under
standing of the problems involved
probably unmatched by any other
man.
1T HAS always been a matter of
l. some bewilderment to the Ameri
can people that the experience and
ability of Mr.. Hoover have not been
utilized by the American government
in the food administration problems
of the present war.
The responsibilities of food ad.
ministration have been entrusted to
long succession of men, all of them
earnest and sincere, no doubt, but
none of them having either the ex-
perience or the ability of Mr.. Hoover.
Not only has the American gov
ernment failed to utilize the COM
petent services of the one man best
qualified to administer the wartime
food program, but it has not even
availed itself of his known and ad-
mitted capacities through consulta-
ton.
1t is significant that President
Truman has made it one of the early

HAVING enjoyed the privilege
IL of participating in the Il Am

Francisco, May 20, / am writing to
add by congratulations to the many
which you and the San Francisco
Examiner must have received as
the sponsors of such a notable
patriotic observance.
To me there is something deeply
inspiring to be found in such an
occasion. 1t is meeting of neigh
bors, living their lives in common
endeavor. People greet each other
as equal participants in community
life and in government and draw
strength and confidence from their
contacts with one another.
It was from such foundation
of common respect that our nation
was built. Public opinion, developed
as a result of interest, discussion
and debate by our citizenry, Gre
ated for us the values which every
American cherishes. 1t is from this
same foundation, working together,
that we will build greater Amer
lea of the future.
1t is an inspiring thing, there
fore, to have annual sobservances
which focus so clearly The attention
of new citizens and old upon the
workings of the democratic process
which have made possible the free
doms which we enjoy.
