Big Increases Seen
In Oil Production
BY the Assoeioted Press

CHICAGO, Nov. 1.-THE United
States-contrary to periodic ru-
mors"-iS not running out of oil, a
committee of the American Petro-
leum Institute reported today.
L. F.. McCollum, chairman of the
APIS Committee on Long Term Pc
troleum Availability, said the group
has found that substantially in
creased amounts of petroleum from
natural sources" will be available
in the United States in the next few
years.
Mr.. McCollum told the Alps 28th
annual meeting that after a study
of the Nations petroleum resources
the committee forecast this outlook
for 1949-53.
BY 1858 the availability of nat
ural petroleum produced in the
United States is estimated to reach
an upper range of 100000 barrels a
day. That figure would be 1890, 900
barrels day more than actual pro-
duction in the peak war year of
1945.
And. related to population, the
availability for all of 1853 would be
equal to almost 800 gallons for each
person-about 80 per cent higher
than it was in 1941."
Mr. McCollum is president of the
Continental Oil Co., Ponca City

Navy Soffens Criticism
Of KimmeI and Stark

The Navy has softened criticism
of Admiral Harold r. Stark and
Rear Admiral Husband e. Kimmel
for their Pearl Harbor record on
recommendation of Admiral Ernest
]. King, the wartime Chief of Naval
Operations.
The department last night released
letter Admiral King wrote Navy
Secretary Sullivan last July in
which he said some of his COM
ments during the Pearl Harbor in
vestigation three years ago stand
out as not being in accord with the
realities of the situation (then) ex-
isting"
The derelictions of the part of
Admirals Stark and Kimmel were
those of omission rather than of
commission-errors of judgment as
distinguished from culpaple ineffici-
ency," Admiral King wrote.
In August, 1945, he had written
that the "derelictions" of the two
officers indicate lack of superior
judgment necessary for exercising
command commensurate with their
rank"
Admiral Stark was Chief of Naval
Operations and Admiral Kimmel
commander in chief of the Pacific
Fleet at the time of the Pearl Har-
Dor attack.

Strong Opposition TO
Rent Curb Extension

A prediction that real estate in

oppose vigorously any effort to
extend rent controls beyond the
March 81 deadline fixed by the
present law was made today by
Herbert U. Nelson, executive vice
president of the National Associa-

Mr.. Nelson said the matter will

its meeting in New York next week.
I'VE undoubtedly will ask for an
end to the present law and pro-
gram of systematic decontrol that
will wind up the rent program over
a period of months" Mr.. Nelson
said.
Housing Expediter Tighe E. Wood
who administers the Federal rent
control law, already has proposed
extension and strengthening of rent
controls on the grounds that the
housing shortage is worse now than
it was year ago.
District Rent Administrator Rob-
ert F. Cogsweu also has said he
wants Congress to extend rent con-
trolls here and tighten the law In
some respects.
Mr.. Nelson said the realtors could
be expected to take every reason
able and fair action" to end a law
which he described as perfectly un-
just" three years after the end OF
the war.
There are 100000 people who

|0tis Asks Court 10 End
Proceedings by SEC
BY the Assoeioted Press

Otis & Co., Cleveland investment
houes, yesterday asked District
Court to halt the Securities and
Exchange Commission proceedings
against it in connection with the
collapse of a $4,000, 900 Offering of
Kaiser-Frazer stock.
The commission has set hearings
to begin Monday on whether it
should suspend or revoke the Cleve-
land firms broker-dealer registra-
ton because of its conduct in the
Kaiser case.
Otis & Co. was announced as
principal underwater of the 9OO.-
000-share offering last February
The investment house later with
drew from the undertaking after
period of on-again, of-again
negotiations with the motor car
manufacturing concern.
In asking the court order, Otis
attorneys asserted: unless re-
strained and enjoined by this court
the commission will cause great and
lrreparable damage to the plaintiff
not only in the enormous expense
of defending the proceedings, but
also in the damage to its reputa-
tion and credit and interference
with its business operations"
The brief said the SEC proposes
to reintroduce as evidence in its
hearings testimony and findings
that District Court Judge James w.
Morris already has ruled are insult
flcient to constitute surface show
ing of fraud in the case.
This contention deals with an
SEC charge that two attorneys con-
suited with Cyrus S. Eaton, princi-
pal Otis stockholder, about filing a
suit which the investment company
cited as a reason to withdraw from
its contract to underwrite the Kaiser
offering.
Numerous other legal actions are
pending in the involved case. They
include two suits filed by Kaiser
Frazer against Otis asking damages
of $19,000,0OO and s3S,0o0,000.
