Oil Conservation Laws have Increased
Drilling Activities In Other Stotes

Good conservation laws in Tex
as, Louisiana, Oklahoma and Ar
kansas have increased postwar
wildcat activity in every one of
those top ranking oil producing
states; at the same time, wildcat
ting has slowed down in Missis-
sippi, with its inadequate and out
moded conservation law.
This was the gist of testimony
from official records of the oil
producing states presented at a
joint hearing of the Mississippi
Legislative Committees studying
several proposed conservation
bills.
Denying that sound conserva-
ton laws retard development or
drive out independent wildcat
tiers, officials of the four states
telegraphed facts and figures to
show that validating increased in
each of them in 1947 over 1856
the first postwar drilling year
while Mississippi official figures
showed that there were fewer
wildcats drilled in 1947 than. in
1945.
Here are the official figures
cited: Texas completed 1852 Wild
cats in 1945; last year, under a
The Chronicle-star combined with the Moss Point advertiser., 1948-02-13

sound conservation law, it COM
pleted 1885 wildcats.
Oklahoma, which officially
chalked up All wildcats in 1945,
saw 943 wildcats drilled in 1947,
almost doubling the l945 total;
Oklahoma too has a model conser-
walton act.
Arkansas, which had but AZ
wildcats in 1945, saw this grow to
"A in l947, and has increased its
wildcats every year since its
present sound conservation law
was passed in 1889.
Louisiana, with an adequate
conservation law, completed l67
wildcat wells in 1945, and upped
this figure to 203 in 1947.
Meanwhile, Mississippi, oper-
ating under its inadequate 1882
conservation act, had ia wild
cats completed in l945 and only
"a in 1947.
Knocking down the contention
of a few opponents of a sound
conservation act for Mississippi,
that such a measure would dis
courage small independent wild
cat drillers, officials of all four
states declared that passage of
sound conservation laws has spur
red all wildcat activity.
"Our conservation law has en-
couraged independent operators
and wildcatters and many have
been phenomenally successful"
Chairman o. c. Bailey of the Ar
kansas Oil and Gas Commission
wired E. D. Kenna, director of the
Mississippi-Alabama Division of
the Mid-C Continent Oil & Gas AS
ISOLATION, who offered the wire as
testimony.
1.-THE passage of Arkansas Con-
s~ervation Law in 1899 has great
ly stimulated development"
The Chronicle-star combined with the Moss Point advertiser., 1948-02-13

Chairman Bailey added, New
fields have been discovered each
year and production has also in
creased"
In Oklahoma the picture was
presented even more forcibly;
Passage of oil and gas conserva-
ton laws and enforcement of
good conservation practices have
had most favorable and benefi-
cial effects on development in
Oklahoma" Walker T. Pond, di-
rector of conservation, wired Mr..
Kenna, adding contrary to driv-
ing out so-called wildcatters and
independents, many new indie
pendent operators have moved
into Oklahoma in the past four
years"
Even more important, Mr..
Pound said that In l947 Oklaho-
ma ranked second in number of
wildcats drilled and first in am
cunt of new oil discovered.
Texas, with probably the most
stringent conservation laws of
any state, feels that "our real
prosperity in oil in Texas began
when we passed our conservation
and market demand laws" Chair
man Ernest o. Thompson of the
Texas Railroad Commission,
which administers the laws, wired.

Road Research Board
Will Hear Address
On Parking Problems

Parking problems facing cities will
be discussed this afternoon at the
2Sth annual meeting of the Highway
Research Board being held in the
National Academy of Sciences, 2101
Constitution avenue NV. The
speaker will be T. M. Matson Of the
Yale University Bureau Of Highway
Traffic;
More than 500 highway engineers
from every part of the country were
present this morning as the four,
day meeting got underway. The dis
cussions this morning concerned
technical aspects of the effect of
soils, maintenance and roadside
development on the highway system.
Ways to precent accidents due to
the glare of headlights were dis
cussed today by Robert s. Green of
the New Jersey State Highway De-
partment. Mr.. Green said con-
tinuous hedge along the center
islands separating a roadway is
effective in diminishing glare. 1t
has, however, the disadvantage in
open country of making snow drifts,
he added. Individual shrubs placed
in one row along center islands is a
partial answer but the best, Mr..
Green said, is the planting of hedges
at angles
Many Washington highway engi-
neers will present papers at the
annual meeting of the board. Three
national awards will feature the
meeting tomorrow morning. The
Bartlett Award, won last year by H
S. Fairbank of Washington, will be
given for distinguished service in
highway engineering during the past
year" This award is sponsored
jointly by the Highway Research
Board, the American Road Builders
Association of Washington and the
American Association of Highway
Officials.
A Highway Research Board Award
will be made to the man who gave
the outstanding paper at the meet
ing a year ago.
The Distinguished Service Awards
will be given for the first time to-
morrow. Sponsored by the Highway
Research Board, two men will be
cited for outstanding achievement
in the field of highway research"
during the past year.

Piece Of Wood Tested
For Scheer Death Clue

Microscopic examination of a
heavy piece of wood was under way
today as police sought clue to the
death of Charles Scheer, 48-year-
old clothing store merchant.
A 30-inch piece of 2 by 4, the
wood was found near Mr.. Scheer's
store at HOO North Capitol street.
There was no visible evidence that
it was used to strike Mr.. Scheer on
the side of the head and produced
a fatal skull fracture and brain
laceration.
Should closer observation further
arouse suspicious, the wood may be
sent to the FBI or the Bureau OF
Standards for more thorough tests
Inspector Robert s. Bryant, chic
of detectives, said several persons
had been questioned, but so fal
nothing has turned up to verify thu
belief Mr.. Scheer was the victim
of a holdup man.
Mr.. Scheer died in hospital las
Saturday without disclosing th'
cause of the injury. Physicians sait
loss of memory caused by the blow
might have blacked out the attacl
and left the victim believing merel!
that he was Ill.
Mr.. Scheer continued to worl
about his store November 80. wher
