Increased Oil
Output Seen
For California

LOS ANGELES, March so. CUP)-
California, which now produces AZ
per cent of all oil used in the Pacific
war, may have to boost its output
still more, deputy petroleum admin
istrator for war Ralph K. Davies
said Thursday night.
Davies told members of the AM
erican Petroleum Institute that the
states producers may have to run
their fields on a cooperative basis
for greater efficiency, and pledged
full support of any such plan.
The army and navy already have
asked if California can turn out
more oil from present fields without
damaging reserves, he declared
Unless production is increased,
Davies said large numbers of tankers
and tank cars will be needed TO
move oil from Texas and the mid
continent, which already ship 100000
barrels of petroleum products daily.
Davies praised industry coopera
tion with the government in plan
ming an nglo-Amerioan Oil treaty
Omar A. Cavins of Standard Oil
told the meeting that his firm had
drilled near Bakersfield a 16,246-foot
we'll, said to be a worlds record for
depth.

Outside Purchase
OF Aluminium
Irks Congressman

WASHINGTON, March 30. (UP)
Representative John Coffee, CD
Washington, plans to protest gov
ernment purchase from a Canadian
company of 250,0O0,000 pounds OF
aluminium, the wartime speciality
of the Pacific northwest
News of the purchase reached
Coffee after he had received reports
that the war production board would
not know until May whether it
could spare material necessary to
open a $5,000,000 aluminium plant
at Salem, Oregon, on schedule
June l.
Some aluminium facilities in the
northwest have been shut down
because there was too much alum
num-" Coffee said.
Instead of reopening tn e m,
which could be done without in
creasing manpower ceilings, our
government chooses instead to boost
purchases outside of the United
States" he said.
WPB, which requested the Cana
dian purchase, indicated domestic
production would be insufficient
because of manpower and fuel
shortages. The aluminium was
bought from an affiliate of the
Aluminium Company CT Canada,
Ltd.
That company's stock S cvned
by stockholders of the A. uminum
Company of America" Coffee said,
land there is reason to believe they
are not vitally interested in seeing
the industry in the Pacific north
west continue"
