Why A National Fuels Policy
Is Urgently Needed Now!

Energy is Americas buwaFk Of defense and it's
only hope Of growth and development Our country
has been one Of the richest in the possession Of
fossil fuels which make that energy possible Il still rich
fuel but today the future ability OF our domestic
oil and coal industries to supply needs being
threatened
The warnings clear, and growing. The world sIut Of
oil causing serious among domestic American petrol
producers prices sashed and high make new
exploration and drilling in the Continental United States
profitable The Natural Gas industry hsmpered by rigid con-
trolls rising exploration and pipeline costs and the
swelling importation Of gas from Canada facing an uncertain
future And coal Americas abundant and her main
dependence for the tremendous growth expected electric
power and industrial capacity, existing today little
than standby production Levels level that is dangerous for
national security and threatens future industrial growth
Americas other potential sources Of enersy offer
little hope in the future. HydoeIeete power supplies
only four Of present energy needs and its
potential for further expansion is sharply limited Atomic
Of domestic energy is now admitted TO be
the future due its extreme cost and still un-
developed technology.
All Of these point to the very critical need for de-
veOpment Of sound National Fuels Policy need that must
be met at Americas essential domestic fuels industries
to and continue nation in the critical
months ahead well in the years Of the future
Forty three United States Senstors and ~ members Of
the House OF Representatives have introduced Concurrent
Resolutions calling for the establishment Of Committee
OF Congress to make thorough study Of Americas fuels
energy picture leading for National
Fuels Policy such found necessary The National Coal
Policy Conference strongly endorses these resolutions
Lack Of National Fuels Policy and the failure TO plan for
current and future fuel needs have brought Us close to
crisis in these great domestic sources Of energy.

pie of the most ferocious COM
batants in today'S splintered
and competitive society.
That these two, labor and
management. are anything to
laugh at has proved to be an
outrageously funny idea to ev-
eryone, including labor and
management.
The films joyful success
makes the Boultings feel social
ly useful, a nice adjunct to
the feeling that they also will
be predictably richer and better
able to finance other satirical
movies.
Mr.. Boulting is a refreshing
visitor in respect to harboring
the notion that newspaper
people should have answers as
well as questions.
Whatever happened to those
brittle, sophisticated comedies
Hollywood used to make?" was
one of The things he wanted to
know.
No one knew precisely, but it
seemed that with television's
butting into their business,
moviemakers simply started
thinking life was desperately
real and earnest, and, more
horribly. tinged with the pros
pect of bankruptcy.
Mr., Boulting surmised gra-
ciously that there was probably
something in this conjecture.
At least, he said, it was init
mated in the large number Of
American pictures exclusively
concerned with "the ugly" Oh,
he knew, he added, that man
kind got involved with sordid
things, unidyllic sex, injustice,
unequal rights-but not exclu-
sively.
He goes on thinking, he
explained, that humanity is
one of natures more hopeful
achievements, maybe not per-
feet but perhaps perfectable,
and certainly amusing in rather
a good many of his manifesto
tions.

Those oddball types who play
such games as does-this-man-
look e-his-work, a variation
of what's my line, might pick
Mr.. Boulting out as a movie
producer. director, or writer. At
any rate, he is a moderately tall,
lean sort, who wears Spectacles
with those heavy, learned look
ing frames; and who smiles
quickly with his eyes as well as
his lips.
OF course, there may be
plumbers who look just like
this, and even masonS who cut
stones for cathedrals-but not
our plumber or the mason who
builds our private cathedralS.
Mr.. Boulting, like so many
luncheon companions one finds
in this quaint, remote corner
of journalism, had nothing in
particular on his mind. 1t
turned out, however, that he
had a lot in it.
One such item was how the
Boultlngs-the other twin is
Roy-choose what pictures
they will make.
I'VE really make every pic
ture because we want to-in
other words to please our
selves" Mr.. Boulting said.
Naturally. we hope it will
please multitudeS of moviegoers
but we never start with any
such idea that this is what the
public will buy, or needs. We
think of our tastes as reason
ably normal and have been en-
couraged by both the public
and film critics to go on think
ing it. This is very pleasant" :"
The Boultings are in a COM

should be. They know as we'll
as anyone that life is deadly
serious, as the statesmen, news

finger at this and that.
