tracts into federal court, the
lila administration demanded
a court decision ordering the
oil companies to return all
payments made to them by the
state over the past five years.
The suit also demanded that
the companies pay taxes. from
which they were exempted by
the contracts, as well as dam
ages for alleged harm done to

faulty storage.
The suit. filed by Attorney

The oil companies say they

invested 1897 million of that

Committee Will
 Seek Answer to
 Dwindling Supply Of Gold Reserves
By John Ramps Associated Press Special SerUice

WASHINGTON R - A con- gressional committee seeks next week an answer to this paradox: Why has the United States both dwindling supplies and abundant reserves of gold?
 A Senate Interior Mining sub committee plans hearings July 15- IF on gold legislation which has been introduced in the hope of conserving and increasing domestic production.
 Announcing the hearing, chair man Ernest Gruening said it will be open to anyone with new ideas on the subject.
 What we are interested in" Gruening told the Senate, lis finding way out of the anomalous situation in which we find our selves - that of needing gold des- perately at a time when our once highly productive gold mines have been closed and are continuing to close as a result of action and in- action by our government.
 Anyone who has any ideas about increasing our gold supplies, opening our gold mines and find ing new deposits of this key metal will be welcomed at this hearing" Gruening said.
 Gruening said many US. lead CTS have voiced alarm over the gold supplies, but 'because of policies inherited from the Hoover depression days we are unable to produce it.'
 Bills before the committee, spon- SOred by western senators, would authorize incentive payments of up to $l05 an ounce for newly mined domestic gold. The present price of $35 an ounce was fixed in 1884 Sponsors are hopeful, but not overly optimistic, over a posSi- bility that the Kennedy admins tration will support the subsidy legislation. This would be an about-face, since administration spokesmen vigorously oppos d similar bills last year on the ground they would disrupt the monetary system of the entire free world.
 Sens. Gordon Allott and Peter Domlnick, Colorado Republicans, are sponsoring several gold bills One would impose strict controls on commercial uses of gold.
 Allott said the depressed state of the domestic gold mining in- dustry is mute evidence that the price of the metal is too low.
 Another aspect which must be considered" Allott said, lis the potential danger in the event of further depletion of our gold re- serves and the possibility that Russia might some day estab- fish monetary system backed by a substantial gold reserve" Allott expressed doubt senators from gold-producing states could muster enough strength to over come opposition of the Treasury Department, Bureau of the Bud- get, Federal Reserve Board and
