Oil Shortage
Amid Plenty
Rx YERN HAUGLANn


WASHINGTON-We have enough
oil and gasoline for 1000 to 1000
years, in the opinion of DR.. R. II.
Sayers, director of the U. S. Bureau
of Mines.
Oil shortages, which have been
freely predicted for the coming
months, would be caused by lack of
transportation and lack of steel for
equipment for oil production, ac-
cording to industry spokesmen and
Interior Department experts.
But, according to DR.. Sayers,
there is plenty of oil underground.
"If the liquid fuels research and
development program is carried out
to the full extent that has been
authorized" he says, 81 believe we
can meet any foreseeable needs in
oil and gasoline for 1000 to 1000
years"
Research Makes Strides
The Bureau of Mines has made
substantial strides" toward estab-
lishment of synthetic liquid-fuels
industry upon reaching the half
way point in five-year 100000, 900
program of research and develop
ment to be completed by 1850, Say
ers says.
Pending completion of an oil
shale laboratory at Laramie, Wyo.,
research has been carried on there
in temporary quarters. An oil shale
demonstration plant was dedicated
at Rifle, Colo, in mid-May.
At Bruceton, Pa, an almost-cOm-
pleted laboratory and pilot plant is
to begin making synthetic oil and
gasoline from coal this summer. Re-
search has been underway, mean
while, in temporary quarters in
pittsburgh. A $17,500,00O wartime
synthetic ammonia plant at Louisi-
ana, Mo-, is being converted into &
coal-hydrogenation and gas-syn
thesis demonstration plant.
Savers adds that oil-shale re
serves, principally in the Rock!
Mountain states, do not compare
with those of coal but probabl!
contain $4,000, 100000 barrels of re
coverable oil.
This, he says, is four or five times
the known petroleum reserves o
the United States and is enough tt
supply the nations liquid fuel need
for more than half century.
Natural gas, he says, is anOthe
potential source of liquid fuels.
However, gas reserves of 100 to IL
trillion cubic feet will last only 3
to 40 years at the present rate Q
consumption, and substantially les
If used also to make oil and gasOlin
in large volume. Petroleum reserve
would last only II more years a
the 1945 rate of consumption.
Sees Ample Coal, Too
Viewing another section of tn
nations fuel bin. Sayers adds "W
have more than three trilliOn ton
of coal in reserve in the Unite
States. That is adequate to meet on
needs for 1900 years. even consider
ing the use of coal for distillatio
nito gas or let fuels"
He says it is a mistake for any
one to assume that atomic enerS
will reDlace coal.
We've had tractors for numbe
of wears. yet oxen are still in use
this country It is likely that we wi
continue to use all types of enere

russell saddle leather, hand

for luggage, and the pet style of

before it Monday. The jury, con-
vened for the opening of the Oc-
tober term of court, was ordered

rumors of a connection

thing was done," Mr.. Dugan de-
clared.
