Compromise Offered
On Elk Hills Costs

Secretary Of the Navy Forrestal
today offered compromise plan for
apportioning between the Govern
ment and the Standard Oil Co. OF
California the cost of keeping the
Elk Hills naval oil reserve in a state
OF readiness for any emergency.
Under the company's original plan
the Government would have paid
about 100000 a year of this ma
tional defense upkeep. Mr.. Forces
tai told the House Naval Affairs
Committee today the effect of his
counter proposal was to split cost
between the two parties, a common
business practice, he said.
The company owns one-third OF
the Elk Hills oil reserve, and the
Navy two-thirds. When the war
ended the Navy stopped taking any
OF its oil out, and last May reduced
Standards withdrawal quota to g.
400 barrels a day, the minimum re-
quired for testing to keep all the
wells In good condition.
The company contends the normal
cost OF producing this much oil is
$3OON00 year. In addition to that
amount, the company also is paving
all the extra cost. $500, 900, for keep
ing the wells in readiness for ma
tional defense.
Under the company's proposal this
would have been apportioned on the
basis Of the percentage of owner
ship. or 100000 by the Government
and $500, 900 by Standard. Mr.. For
restars compromise would reduce
the Governments payment to $780,
600 for the next few years. The
contract contemplates an ultimate
adjustment at some distant time
when these costs would be adjusted
on the basis of ownership. The COM
mittee is expected to take the new
compromise under consideration for
action at later meeting.
