Wyoming Oil
Men Protest
Tax Ruling

CASPER--The board of directors
Of the Rocky Mountain Oil and Gas
association was on record this week
favoring congressional action au-
thorizing deduction of intangible
oil drilling costs from income tax
charges.
A recent u. S. court decision is
considered to have ruled out an OPP
ton of deducting the drilling costs
or listing them as capital invest
ment The u. S. bureau of internal
revenue later declared it would rec
ognize the right of option pending
further court action. However, con-
gressional action is still considered
necessary.
The association in a meeting here
went on record as opposing the
courts decision and as being "only
in favor of the legislative measure
or measures that would correct this
situation"
Intangible drilling costs include
expenses while a well is being
drilled - transportation, supplies,
equipment and in the case of some
companies. cost of drilling con-
tracts.
The association board declared
the court decision resulted in hull
in oil activity, expected to continue
until definite action is taken.

RANCELY FIELD
DUE FOR MORE
DRILLING SOON

Probably destined for greater
activity than amy other field In
the Rocky Mountain area dur
ing the next few months is Ran
gely, In the extreme northwest
ern corner of Colorado, at the
juncture of Wyoming, Utah and
Colorado.
More than II strings of tools are
now running in the field, with the
prospect more rotary rigs will be
brought in shortly from the Elk
Basin field in Wyoming. Highlight-
ing recent developments is a re-
port the Texas Company is taking
over all Union Pacific railway acre
age in the area, and that the Utah
Oil & Refining Co. is now planning
a 150-mile 10-inch line from the
field, to connect with its line at
Wamsutter, Wyo.
A recent near-completion which
has added considerably to interest
in the field is Standard Oil & Gas
Company's No. / Rector, ga miles
from the field discovery well. The
Stanolind-Rector well Is checking
much higher than expected and is
now testing the field pay sand, the
Weber, topped at 1924 feet.
Oil men here feel that develop
mentS in the Rangely field will
bring about drilling on dozens of
structures in this area, which has
been long dormant.

General PEI Makes New

General Petroleum Corporation

the Badger Basin field, only few
miles south of the Montana-Wyom-

has made location for its Resolute
No 8, a quarter mile west. It is re-
ported but not confirmed that the
No. 8 will be carried to the Ten

field, and expected to be reached
at about 1000 feet. 1t had ben
previously reported that the No. Z
would test the Tensleep, but this
plan has evidently been changed.
The No. is reported to have found
greater saturation in the second

CONRAD FIELD ACTION
CONTINUES INCREASING

Expected to be the scene of in
tensive activity this year in Alberta
is the Conrad field, producing oil
from the Ellis sand, 35 smiles north
of the Alberta Montana border and
due north of the Kevin-Sunburst
field in Montana. Recent completion
of a well that came in with an
initial of approximately 200 bar
rels has has stimulated drilling,
with about half a dozen wells now
drilling or staked.

Reaction Of elias

BY the Associated Press.

ATHENS, Jan. 4.-Reaction of left
wing ELIAS followers to the COM
mon confidence" cabinet formed by
Gen. Nicholas PlaStiras was awaited
today as an indication of the new
Greek Premier's chances of restor-
ing peace to his troubled land
In taking over the premiership,
Gen. Plastiras today said the first
task was full restoration of the
states authority"
1t was understood that he planned
to make further appeal to the
ELIAS to lay down their arms.
The government aims, firstly, at
Ia full restoration Of the states au-
thority; secondly. the return of pub
lie services to their duties; thirdly,
the punishment of crimes COM
mitted under Axis occupation;
fourthly, immediate attention to the
relief and rehabilitation program
and the raising of the standard Of
living" Gen. Plastinas said.
Gen. Plastiras retained four i'm
portant posts in addition to the
premiership, assuming the war, navy
air and merchant marine portfolios
ELIAS leaders previously had been
reported insistent that they should
be- considered in filling these posts.
Liberals Given Posts.
The men with whom Gen. Plas-
tiras surrounded himself we're de-
|scribed for the most part as having
liberal Affiliations, although they
included several members of promi-
nent families with rightist tradi-
tons.
Permitting one appointee to hold
several ~portfolios-such as Justice,
health and social welfare-the new
Premier left room for inclusion of
ELIAS representatives in the gov
|ernment later.
Qt was not clear from this
whether Gen. Plastiras might
subsequently relinquish one of
the important posts which he
reserved for himself to the ELIAS.

Il District Bills Filed
By Randolph; Several
Revive Controversies

AT the request of the Commissioners
Representative Randolph, Demo-
crat, of West Virginia, chairman of
1 the House District Committee. yes
terday placed II District bills be-
fore the House, including several
which are of controversial nature.
One IS the bill to strip the Board
OF Public Welfare of its administra-
tive powers and transfer them 70
the Commissioners, leaving the well
fare board as an advisory agency.
This bill was favorably reported
last session by the House District
Committee, but action was blocked
On the House floor.
Another would authorize the
Commissioners to replace old High
way Bridge over the Potomac with
twin spans of four lanes each, at an
estimated cost OF some $4,000 900.
This is opposed by Interior Secre-
tary Ickes and the National Capital
Park and Planning Commission,
sponsors of plan for a single span
OF eight lanes.
Funds for Police Band.
A third bill is that to make
municipal funds available for the
maintenance of the Metropolitan
Police Department Band, plan
opposed by spokesmen for the Amer
ican Federation of Musicians, al
though the measure was amended
to prescribe that the band play. at
no functions where an admission
fee was charged except where the
proceeds 60 to charitable purposes
The city heads, with Mr.. Ran
dolph's support, also are resuming
their campaign to increase the
number of District appointments to
the Military and Naval Academies
at Annapolis from to IS cadets.
and at West Point from to u
cadets. They argued in the past
year or two, unsuccessfully so far,
that many States with lesser popu-
lation have much greater repre-
|sentation in the academies.
Another effort also is being made
for an amendment of the Districts
weights and measures law to set I'D
better protection for the purchasers
of coal, charcoal and coke sold in
small lots. The proposed bill pre-
|Scribes that such fuel must be sold
only by weight and that the names
and addresses of seller, buyer and
the person who weighs the fuel,
among other items, must be re-
corded.
Other Bills introduced.
Other bills in the new Legislative
program so far introduced include
the following:
To make numerous amendments
to the Districts life insurance act;
to add new requirements to the law
regulating birth registrations; to
broaden the authority of the Board
'of Education in appointing tenn
Iporary teachers; to require that
fees and other funds of the various
District examining, licensing and
regulatory commissions and boards
be deposited with the District tax
collector, and to amend rules gov
