CONTINUED From Page u

The report repeats the
cOmpany's 1913 statement that
unless there is developed an en-
tireIy new or improved tech
nique for locating oil deposits,
new discoveries will be less
frequent and new production
will be more costly than in the
past. 1t adds that a more equi-
table price is necessary to slim
uIate exploratory drilling on the
part of the small producer, and
concludes that unless new Inn
pOrtant reserves are discovered
in the United States, this c0un-
try must become a substantial
ly larger importer of petroleum
in order to provide for it's mill
itary, industrial, and civilian re-
quirements.
Commenting on The Texas Com
pany's war effort, the report states
that the catalytic cracking, alkyla-
ton, and other refining units men
toned in the 1943 report as being
uner construction were completed
in 1914, adding materially to the
company's ability to manufacture
1OO-octane gasoline and components.
To increase further the country's
supply of 100-octane Texaco will
erect a fluid catalytic cracking unit
and additional sulphuric acid alkyl-
alton facilities at its LockpOrt, ILL.,,
refinery.
Of the approximately $500 Tex
AGO men and women on military
leave of absence $40 have been re
leased from the armed forces and
431 of these have returned to COM
pany service, according to the re-
port. 1t is the company's intention
to go far beyond its legal obliga-
ton" in placing men and women
who return from military service.

ductiOn for the year tOtalled

AS Objectionable features of the
present regulations, he cited:
1. The requirement for compul-
sorry unit operation.
2. Unreasonably high royalties,
plus arbitrary power of the depart
ment to fix an oil price without re-
gard to ability of the lessee to sell
oil at the price set.
8. Power of the department to
rule concerning sales of oil prod
ucts.
A. Jumbled regulations that fill
small book, made by reference a
part of each lease.
5. Denial of the rights of opera
tors to exercise their own judgment
in drilling or producing.
6. Ambiguous conditions govern
ing the surrender and termination"
clauses in government leases.
7. Stringent penalties that may be
imposed upon operators for failure
to drill
Jackson recommended that the
present lease law be rewritten in
its entirety, pointing out that under
its present provisions there has
been sharp decline in the number
of wells drilled on government
acreage.

WASHINGTON STATE
LEASES PERMANENT

Montana oil men this week noted
with interest an item from Monte
sano, Wash, saying that Grays Har-
Dor county has given permanent"
lease on 1900 acres to the Sharples
corporation, which has been wild
eating in the area. Whether the
county actually gave the oil COM
pany permanent title to the oil and
gas beneath the 1900 acres, or
whether the permanency of the
lease is dependent upon obtaining
production, was not made clear in
the dispatch.

Striking a good jazz mood,
Horace and the band weave an ex-

coincidence that we should review
Lena's latest Victor right along
with Phil Moore's new record for
that same company. Phil preceded
Horace Henderson as Lena's ar

from his experience working with
Lena on the MGM lots in Holly

him to fame.

RECORD REVIEWS: At Duke
Ellington's recent Carnegie Hall
concert in New York he introduced
his latest four ballads by saying
that these ARE the tunes upon
which We are stalking everything
for 1945." The four ballads are
Don't You Know I Care, Il Didn't
Know About You" I'm Beginning
To See The Light" and Il Amt Got
Nothin' But The Blues" These four
tunes, for our money, make up
darned good stake.
Victor apparently agrees for they
have released four Ellington sides
since the disc ban was lifted and
each of those tunes is represented
on the discs. That the tunes are ex-
