Majority Of Oil
Men Believe Ike
Will Serve Better
A comparison of reports pat he r-
ed ftopi ail paits <tf the state re-
v.-als that oil men believ? they will
p.-t a "better deal" under the Eis-
enhower administration.
One writer who attended the
American Petroleum Institute
meeting in Chicago said the feel-
iriK was almost unanimous.
This feeling was put into words
ay Frank M. Porter, an Oklahoma
oilman who is API president, when
a * stated:
"It is anticipated that all indus-
try will have a bftter dimat? in
which to operaV when the new ad
riLiiistration take-j etffice. The oil
industry can use this climate to
set on the job of serving tin na-
tion."
Porter, whose i .marks came in
m interview, did not expeet any
immediate or drastic shift in
Washington policies with the in-
'•onnng Congress and President.
Many of the problem: and issues
w;'t take time to regolv. he said.
Th" API head stated flatly th;>t
M'u Washington ac*nci s. the Pet-
•'.ileinu Administia'ion i"r l>efeii>e
and the National Petroleum Conn-
il, shou'd be continued, und r

He pointed out that PAD, which
needed :>s long as materials are in
s staffed by oilmen, would be
shoii supply to supervise proper
allocation. He bid pra'.--e
PAD'- work and a!so foi the NPC,
an arii i-sory council et oilmen.
Sp.;tkiiig a« -'n individu-'i oil-
and not API president. Porter
lecfjjred that decontrol should be
immediate on the price of crude
ail and products. H" would not
-Tnmit himself to a flat nbandon-
Tt'ent of the Office of Price Ad-
aimistration, however, holding that

the emergency situation.
p.-: added that, in his opinion, the
twice of crude o>! would rise upon
!•-control. But there was n« a--
-uran. t of that. He felt that ad-
litional return was needed bv oil-
®> to cont inue the search for oil
o-vaid building up the nation's re-
serve capacity.
On *h« subject of retention of
th 27!2 ner cent tax d. nletion a!
k.'.-ance. Porter indicated con fide n-
of favorable consideration by
th-; Republican Congress. H" did
not discount, however, the probabi-
lity of continued efforts to lower
or even abandon tl. ■ fax permiss-
ive.
He felt that both the depletion
allowance and crude price decon-
Texos Deer Hunt
Get1ln9 Results
AUSTIN, Nov. IS H'.Ei—Deer-
stalking Texas sportsmen Tuesday-
hailed cooler weather as boosting
prorpects for a successful season.
While early reports on the ini-
tial kill indicated the hunt had
been progressing as well or better
than eapectod, cooler weather was
expected to set more deer on the
nitWe.
Game and Fish Commission au-
thorities pointed out deer won't
move so much when it is raining
as when it is dry.
However, they were expected to
be on the move with the return of
clearing skies.
The season opened at sunrise
Sunday and runs through Dec. 31.
j frol are factors in bringing new
money into the oil exploratory ef-
fort. And he did not foiesee any
reluctance on the part of capital
to enter into a new and vigorous
program under the Republicans.
The API president called the fe-
deral government's "oil cartel"
■ant an "outrage" instituted for
political effect. It was his opinion
-hat the government's position in
this suit might shift, but it
j would come only with time.
Porto- raw the gigantic plans
i of the Department of Interior to-
i ward building up a synthetics oil
! ndnstry as certain now to be laid
i aside.
He did not disclaim the neeH fn>
continued research in this field,
and felt that it would prevail
th'ough joint government-industry
effort.
Fled Van Covern, API econo-
mist, who sat in. on the interview,
estimated that the demand in-
crease for this year for petroleum
would be better than 3 per cent
over 1951. He foresaw also for
1953 a demand increase of about
317 per cent.
Dt. Courtney C. Brown, New
York, director of Ksso Standard
Oil Company, urged caution upon
oilmen in an address before the
API marketing division.
"Domestic oil demands have not
lived up to expectations," he ■*>x-
pl,lined "In the first nine months
of 19o2 demands were some 3 per
cot* above last year in contrast
with earlier forecasts of 6 to 8
per c uit."
As for the future. Dr. Brown saw
th" possibility next spring of con-
siderable decrease in the level of
operations and added that "some
are now estimating that tiext sum-
m-'r's average demand may be as
nuch as 800,000 burets per day be-
low that of the current winter."
The convention, with more thar
5,000 oilmen due to be in attend-
ance, will continue through Thurs-
day.

FISH STORY?—Chuck Reynolds, of Los Angeles, tells a fish !
story with teeth in it. Chuck swear, that the large-mouth bass,
above, was sporting a lower denture when he caught it in the
Colorado River. Either some luckless fisherman tost his teeth, or
there's an underwater dentist in the dept'is of tiie Colorado. '
Plenty Of Oil
The Experts Say
CHICAGO—There's no fear of S
the U. S. running short of oil with-
in the foreseeable future, tv.n til-
ers of the petroleum industry said
today.
Speaking at the nnnual merlin*;
of the American Petroleum Insti-
tute. John E. Swearinge-n of Stand-
ard Oil (Indiana), forecast domes-
tic production would continue to
increase during the next 15
months,
"We shall be finding oil faster
than we -.hall be using it," In said.
John W. Boatwright, also of
Standard of Ind>iir>. forecast -i t''>
per cent increase in the total do-
mestic demand for petroleum pro-
ducts by 11MI7, from 7,043.lMMi bar-
rels to 10.280,000 barrels daily. He,
too said:
"We feel confident that the fu-
tuie supply of crude oil and natu-
ral gas liquids will be adequate
to meet; the needs of a greatly ex-
panded ii.'irket."
Aihn. BenTiioreell, chairman of
the board, Jt aes and Laughlin
Steel Corp., express <d belief Amer-
ica may have chosen the "wrong
battlefield at the wrong time ana
again t the wrong enemy" in its
fight against communism.
"We are concentrating <m fight-
ing communism many thousands
of miles away," Moreeil said, "but
when we look at the record, we
are forced to wonder whether we
Americans may not be choosing
the wronir battlefield at the wrong
time against the wrong enemy."
