Brown Charges
Oil Imports Not
Aiding Consumer

WASHINGTON, D. c. "Con-
sumers have not received any price
benefit from the increased imports
of either residual fuel oil or crude
OIL"
This statement was contained in
testimony given before the Senate
Finance Committee by Russell B.
Brown, General Counsel for the In
dependent Petroleum Association
of America. The Finance Commit
tee, considering the bill to extend
the Trade Agreements Act, had
previously heard witnesses testify
that oil imports have increased
from $4,000 barrels per day in
1916 to about 100000 barrels per
day at the present time.
"The prices paid by consumers
for petroleum products have in
creased more in the area served by
imports than in the area in which
only domestic oil is used" said
Brown.
Pointing to the eastern seaboard,
where oil imports have supplied an
increasing share of the market, he
cited figures to show that the price
of gasoline had increased by 23.7
percent in 1854 over the average
existing during the years 1947-
1949. BY comparison, he said, the
price of gasoline had risen only 1911
percent in the Middle West, where
domestic oil was used.
Brown emphasized that residual
fuel oil is not used by small indi-
vidual consumers to heat private
homes. He pointed out that the oil
to heat homes is mot now, and
never has been, supplied by i'm
ported fuel OIL"
AS in the case of gasoline, Brown
noted that the price of home-heat-
ing fuel oil had increased 1876 per-
cent on the eastern seaboard during
the period cited, IS compared with
only 11.8 percent in the Middle
West.
"The most important considera-
ton in connection with oil prices
and imports, Brown declared, sis
the question of competition"
"The competition that has pre-
vailed among the thousands of do
nestle oil producers has been the
most important single factor in the
development of ample domestic oil
supplies at prices that have been
consistently low in relation to other
commodities" he continued. "In
contrast to the competition in the
domestic oil industry, about 90
percent of all the foreign oil in the
free world is controlled by only
seven large international oil COM
panies.
SIN the exploration and develop
ment of foreign oil, these few COM
panies work hand in hand"
"In the top oil-producing coun-
| tries of the Middle East, they are
closely intermingled," Brown said.
Each of them has an interest in at
least two countries there and most
of them three. This increasing con-
centration of economic power in a
handful of international companies
has serious and far-reaching impli-
cations for the American consumer.
at would be costly in the long
run, and dangerous to our security
at all times, to permit imports to
weaken the domestic oil-producing
industry" the IPAA Counsel
warned.
He urged passage of an amend
ment introduced by Senator Mat
thew Nicely, West Virginia and CO.
sponsored by Is other senator's.
The amendment would restrict oil
imports to ten percent of domestic
demand.

it the first annual Lilliputian

Instead she put them to work
for charity. She suggested
that Children's Hospital would

They liked the idea and she
in turn offered to help them.
She called every merchant
and food manufacturer she
knew and within days. the
children had gallons of ice
cream and soft drinks as well
as bags of potato chips and
cookies. Their days receipts
amounted to $50. =.
So elated was the budding
fund raiser at these results
she couldn't wait for another

THRILL RACES AT
MEDLEY SUNDAY

Willie Hunter, one of the grand
pappyS of racing in the Miami
area and Anderson Johnson, own
er and manager of the Liberty
City Jitneys are the new promot-
ers for the all-colored stock car
races to be run every Sunday
afternoon. Last Sunday they ina
ugurated one of the most Spectac-
ular racing events ever held on
the one-third mile oval; it was a
thrill packed show from the drop
of the first flag. Twenty cars and
drivers thrilled the spectators with
daredevil driving and the boy
who took the largest share of the
top glory was Jonathan Olliff,
driving car No. 9. A total of II
cars started in the feature and
after lady luck had dealt her
share of blown tires, complete
flop flsps, turn overs and crash
ing of fences, only six cars were
able to finish under the checker
ed flag. The boys who partici-
pated in Sundays racing pro-
gram are not. new at the racing
game. Most of the drivers have
raced the Medley Speedway since
March 26 and to date, nearly 35
drivers with cars have signed the
roster to drive in the big eight
event race card to be held this
Sunday afternoon.
These boys who race their cars
at the Speedway surely deserve
the support of the public. The
speed demons of the asphalt oval
spend long and strenuous hours
working on their pride and JOY
in order to get them in tip top
shape for the 125 laps of racing.
That motor and body, including
tires, have to be in good shape
to last all eight events on the
racing program. They have spent
a lot of money on their cars in
order to supply the finest enter
tainment money can buy. There
isn't a place in greater Miami
where a person can enjoy himself
TO a thrill packed show for so
little. Get on the band wagon and
join the hundreds of sport loving
fans at the Medley Speedway
Sunday afternoon. Meet your
friends there. Everyone is well
come. The first race starts at 2:45
pm.
