| 5haIe Plant Blocked
Three Years by Coa|,
+0i| Men, Krug Says
BY the Associotsd Press

LAKE SUCCESS, Aug. 27.-
Secretary of the Interior Krue
yesterday urged creation of O
synthetic oil industry to cushion
the United States against emer-
gencies and eventual exhaustion
of its petroleum reserves.
Mr.. Krug said his department
has been trying for three years
to get appropriations for a COM
mercial scale oil-shale plant In
Colorado.
"Oil and coal interests" have
blocked it in Congress so far. he
told a news conference at the
United Nations Scientific Confer
ence on the Conservation and
Utilization of Resources. He in
dicated he would keep trying.
Refuses to Predict Exhaustion.
Mr.. Krug refused to estimate
when Americas and the worlds
oil reserves will run out-a subject
of major controversy in the fuels
and energy section of the U. N
conference.
1T does not matter whether we
take estimates that it will be 200
500 or 1000 years." he said. "The
point that we must recognize Is
that the reserves are exhaustible
and that we are using them up"
He said that in his opinion the
important thing was that the
United States should be ready with
an alternate source Of liquid fuel.
He disclosed that the interior
Departments oil shale pilot plant
at Rifle, Colo, recently attained
production of diesel oil and jet
engine fuel at costs approaching
commercial rates. He said the
scientists there expect to be pro.
ducing gasoline soon.
Pilot Plant in Operation.
The Colorado experiments are
on an oil-soaked mountain be.
lieved to contain 200, ,000, ,000, ,00t
barrels of petroleum products. MIR
Krug pointed out, against known
American reserves Of $4,000, ,000.'
900 barrels of petroleum itself
The department also has q pilo'
plant making oil products from
coal in Mississippi. he said.
"One commercial plant woult
be q great tonic for the industry
= q wonderful thing for tht
country" he said.
Mr.. Krug disclosed his depart.
ment also is surveying use OF en-.
ergy from the sun.

Mr.. Hoffman spoke at q news
conference in London after meet

the number Of British firms selling
to the dollar market.
z. Treble British dollar exports,
raising them from $500 .000, 900 to
81 SOC, 900 900 annually.
These are practical goals" Mr..
Hoffman said. "They are within
reach of British industry and
British labor combine low-cost
production with dynamic mer-
chandising."
American business men have
been asked to cooperate with the
British dollar export board in
showing the way to larger markets

these clubs will be elected an
Advisory Council or County

an advisory capacity to the

In the various meetings, farmers

views as to their main pro

their farm business success

were listed credit, blowing IA

other common problems.
The extension program is al

farmers through an organized
effort with these timely pro-

Back up, old man. back up
When the former detective did
so, the gunman beat a hasty retreat
in an old car in which were two
other men.

the safe-said to weigh more than
500 pounds-was missing.
Mr.. Beckley operates billiard
