Import Restrictions
Depress TW Profits

San Francisco - "Conficatory''
restrictions Of crude oil imports
under the governments voluntary
oil import program adversely af-
fected Tidewater Oil Company's
earnings in the first nine months
of 1868, President George F. Getty
II reported to shareholders. Opera
tons during that period, before
provision for preferred stock divi-
dends, resulted in a consolidated
net loss of 1925, 900, compared with
net earnings Of $27, O01 900 for the
similar 1857 period
After providing $2,246,0O0 for
preferred dividends, the net loss
applicable to the common stock for
the nine months period, was equal
to 10 cents per share. In the COM
parable period Of 1867, net income
applicable to the common stock
equaled $1.87 per share.
Getty reported that major fac
tor in the unfavorable results for
1858 was the discriminatory i'm
port quota assigned to Tidewater
under the governments program
for restriction of crude oil imports
initiated in mid-1957. Further re-
strictions now proposed by the
government, he noted, will merely
accelerate the economic confisca-
ton of the company's properties"
resulting from the import pro-
grams.

Expect Report On
Import PROPOSAL

Washington. A new formula
for oil imports is expected to be
announced by, cabinet members
wrestling with the problem within
two weeks.
Under the proposal, refiners
would have a quota of imported oil
equal to 10 per cent of their ca
pacity.
The plan would replace the pres
ent practice of holding imports at
the 1854 level. The arrangement
is voluntary and the proposal is
that the new formula also be on
voluntary basis.
New companies and those who
happened to have small imports
in 1854 complain that the present
practice is unfair to them. The
new proposal is directed to improve
the situation making the quota
based on refinery capacity.
Most domestic producers are
fairly satisfied with the new pro-
posal but some refiners say the
plan favors interior refiners and
is unfair to seaboard refiners.
Refiners who have designed huge
refineries specifically to process
foreign crude also vigorously OPP

Kinds County officers said We'd

establish a case.
Chief Criminal Deputy Andy

Hopkins said other Negroes re-
siding near the scene of the al

of man who might be involved.
A Terry physician said the girl
had not been raped.
Medger Evers, Mississippi Field

Evers said neighbors of the child
told him the white man approached
a Negro woman in the vicinity and
when repulsed had gone to the
child's house and lured her into his
car with gifts of pears and pecans.
Evers said witnesses were not

deluged the government with ap-
plications for land leases this year
but, in general, the leases have in
volved basins in the interior and
northern parts of Alaska. This
marks a shift from the southern
trail basins which are almost solidly
filed-on.
Since the development of oil pro-
duction in Alaska will be so inn
portant to the economic growth of
the new state, it is anticipated and
expected that governmental atti-
tude will lend encouragement to oil
exploration and production activi-
ties.
Thus Alaska is prepared for the
boom that its statehood and it's
oil have started.

20 Million Bbls.
OF New Reserves
Seen In 20 Years

Chicago = In spite of recurrent
warnings that 1--WE are running
out of OIL" America is far from
becoming a have-not nation where
petroleum resources are concerned,
in the opinion Of Morgan j. Davis,
president of Humble Oil and Re-
filming Co., Houston, Texas.
With an aggressive program of
exploration and development, plus
an efficient use of technology, the
domestic oil and gas industry can
continue to supply a major part of
the nations energy needs for years
to come, Davis told the American
Petroleum Institutes 38th annual
meeting.
Humble's president noted that
past prophecies have consistently
underestimate the availability of
domestic oil and gas.
Davis discussed three aspects of
domestic petroleum supplies: cur
rent availability, the adequacy Of
future SUPPLIES, and the ability of
the domestic industry to meet in
creasing requirements at reason
able prices. He placed particular
emphasis upon the vital role being
played by changing chronological
developments
The domestic industry, he point
ed out, now has a minimum pro-
ducing capacity Of 100000 bar
rels of crude oil day, or 100000
barrels daily in excess of current
production, and that this can be
Jackson advocate. [volume] (Jackson, Miss.) 1939-current, 1958-11-22

counted upon for some years I'M
less exploration and drilling are
curtailed drastically.
On the subject of future sup
plies, Davis said that the indus
try's figures on proved reserves
often leave the impression that our
known domestic supplies will be
exhausted within a relatively short
period of years.
ESTIMATED proved reserves prob
ably average only about one-third
or less of the oil in place in fields
already discovered" he said. "Ac-
tually, our official reports on re-
serves provide the public with a
bare minimum estimate of oil eco
nomically recoverable through ex-
listing facilities. Those who have
worked on reserves estimates
know from experience that the
actual production from known
fields will exceed the presently
reported estimates by substan-
tial margin"
Davis cited figures to show that
over the next 20 years the indus
try, with only a small allowance
for increased recovery due to i'm
proved techniques, can probably
add minimum of 70 billion bar
rels of crude oil to the 80 billion
barrels it now has. In addition,
statistics show that petroleum has
been reasonably priced to date in
spite of such factors as deeper
drilling and rising costs of ma
terials and labor.
"The prospects for the domestic
petroleum industry" he concluded,
could be changed drastically, how
ever, by unwise actions by state
regulatory agencies, the federal
government, or the industry itself
on such matters as conservation,
percentage depletion, and import
policy. 1t has taken a long Time
to build the present vigor of the

Activity Seething
In Alaskan Areas

Americas 49th state - big,
booming, rich Alaska-is seething
today with a land rush that is un-
paralleled in the industry's fabc-
lous history.
Sunray Mid-Continent Oil Co.,
whose foresight and willingness
to take a calculated risk in 1866
permitted the company to get in
on the ground floor of the Alaskan
play at moderate cost, is one
of 20 major oil firms and some 200
Independents to move into this
new hotbed of activity.
Within the past few months,
Sunray has:
Established a permanent office
in Anchorage headed by senior geo.
logist Dick Eckhart;
Boosted its lease holdings and
options to more than 5000 acres
on promising Kenai peninsula, site
of Alaska's biggest producer and
the hot spot of the state; and,
Completed on-the-spot field stud
les, including an aeromagnetic
survey of the Kenai region.
Under the statehood act, Alaska
will select 103 million acres of
land previously owned by the fed
eral government and will hold all
rights to any leases on those lands.
The U. S will still own Ia per cent
of Alaska's land.
The federal Submerged Lands
Act of 1858 gives Alaska control
of its tidelands oil activity. This
is significant since Alaska has a
greater coastline than all other
states combined. No provision has
been made yet concerning leasing
of tidelands.

cause, before age go and while
their rider is in effect, will re-
ceive an income of $40 per month
for each $1,000 face amount of

Previous maximum was SIS per

rider can get the new at slight
extra cost and a physical exami-
nation, except a limited number of
service disabled veterans who were
sold the original rider since April,

reported for a number of other
states.
Refiners ran to stills an aver
age of 7,686,OO0 barrels of crude
oil daily including foreign runs
of 1880 barrels daily. This
resulted in production of 27,654, 00C
