STATES EMPLOYERS SAVED
S7,S3O,84O BY NEW TAX CUT

AS result of the repeal at the re-
cent Special Legislative Session of
the wartime provisions of the Unem-
ployment Compensation Act relative
to Merit rafting, Governor Herbert
r. O'Conor has made known, 597 in
dustrial and business concerns will
save $7,33O,84O in the last three
quarters of the current fiscal year.
The Act was made effective October
1, thus applying to all contributions
from that date.
A total of 612 firms, with a COM
bined payroll of $415,798,020, were
prevented, under the wartime clause
of the Unemployment Compensation
Act from sharing in the benefits of
merit rating, because their total per-
sonnet was in excess of 1907 of
their 1910 employees. All but Is of
these 612 firms-or 497 firms-are
now entitled to rates lower than the
81 rating heretofore assigned them.
More than 800, or 566 concerns,
will be benefited now to enjoy the
lowest contribution rate, 80. Is will
henceforth contribute at the rate of
1.2%, three at the rate of 1.5%,
seven will pay 1.S%, five will pay
81 %, and one, 2.4%. The remaining
Is will continue to pay the 2.7%
rate as now, because of benefit char
ges against them.
The initial suggestion for repeal of
the wartime clause was advanced by
Governor O'Conor in an address to
tie annual Interstate Conference of
Employment Security Agencies held
in Baltimore within regent weeks

Quick Repair
OF Air Strips
Now Possible

The cloak of secrecy was recently
lifted from one war project the
Texas Company has had under It's
wing for a long time. The public
was told that army air forces engi-
neers built and restored more than
100 air fields in northern France
within four months after D-day.
Machinery at a Texaco plant has
been running day and night for
many months to turn out the new
product that helped make this pos
sible
The product is an asphalt-treated
surfacing material that can be laid
on earth after 1t has been compacted
by a bulldOZer. The Surfacing mate
rial is made in rolls like roofing
paper and consists of asphalt sat
urated burlap coated with a special
asphalt and surfaced with fine
mineral matter 1t makes the sur
face entirely water-repellent.
These rolls, laid by machinery in
overlapping strips on the air field,
weigh only one-tenth as much for
the surface they cover as the steel
mating previously used for emer-
gency landing strips.
Once laid, the material will sup
port planes as heavy as fighter
bombers. If the surface is torn by
a bad landing, or is bombed, it is a
simple matter to level the surface
and lay on a patch of the same ma
terial. A runway $50 feet wide and
$500 feet long takes only Is hours
to surface in this way The time
saved gives the enemy no comfort

Crude Output
Still Below
u. S. Demands

The production of domestic crude
petroleum during 1914 is estimated
at 1,678 million barrels tan increase
of about IL percent compared with
1943), and the demand for domestic
crude petroleum should approx
mate 100 million barrels-indicat-
ing decline In stocks of domestic
crude petroleum of about % million
barrels during the year.
The daily average demand rose
from 4,478,000 barrels In the first
quarter TO 4,623,000 in the second
quarter, to 4,735,O00 in the third
quarter, and may amount to about
4,740,0O0 barrels daily in the fourth
quarter.
The forecast for the first quarter
of 1915 indicates a demand for do
nestle crude petroleum of about A.
10000 barrels daily-assuming a
moderate decline in production and
a corresponding reduction In stocks
of domestic origin.
Data for the first 10 months of
1914 combined with such current
figures as are available for NOvem-
Der and December indicate that the
total demand for motor fuel in 1914
will approximate 738 million barrels
Ia gain of almost 10 percent.
The indicated yield of gasoline
from crude oil is about 1874 percent
compared with yield of 37.1 per
cent in 1913.
The gain in the demand for motor
fuel has been the outstanding fac
tor in the demand for refined prod
ucts in 1914 as the combined total
demand for residual and distillate
fuel oils will show an estimated in
crease of only about 9 percent COM
pared with 1943.-Bureau of Mines

ROUNDUP-Kerlyn Oil Company,
which has maintained it's headquar-

in this area nearly two years ago,
is preparing to move its office to
Wyoming, in which state most of
its present activities are centered.
The company drilled most of the
wells in Gage dome for Northern

the Ingomar dome, two wildcats
near Belle Fourche, S. D., one in
Crooked Creek dome, one in Custer

During the past year the company
inaugurated an extensive drilling
campaign in Wyoming. New head
