SPECIAL SESSION DUE
IN EVENT WAR BREAKS
Roosevelt Sees No Need to Feel
War Likely "As of Today"
But Will Be Ready
Hyde Park N Y Aug 11—(LP)
—President Roosevelt said Friday
that if an actual war crisis de-
velops in Europe or in the Far
East he immed'ately will call con-
gress back into special session to
enact legislation to preserve neu-
trality of the United States on a
basis of international law
Choosing his words carefully
Mr Roosevelt said at a press con-
ference that he knows of no rea-
son at the present time however
for calling congress back before
its regular session next January
Mr Roosevelt said if it became
reasonably certain there was going
to be a war he would call the
session to assure neutrality of the
U S along the lines of interna-
tional law so that this country
would not become involved
His program he said would fol-
low the lines of his previous neu-
trality proposals which were re-
jected by congress He still stands
firmly for the objectives of a cash
and carry policy on export of arms
and war materials he said
Preparing to leave Saturday for
a ten-day vacation off the coast
of Newfoundland and Nova Scotia
Mr Roosevelt gave reporters the
background on the situation which
led him to believe there was no
reason as of today for anticipat-
ing a special session of congress

Whipple Says M K & (I IVIII Not
Agree to Improve Service to
Stillwater at Present
Mayor O C Whipple told Still-
water business men Friday noon
at the weekly chamber of com-
merce luncheon the results of a
conference with Missouri-KansasTexas
bus line operators in Tulsa
Friday and indicated it would be
necessary for Stillwater to make
formal protest to the state cor-
poration commission if the city
hoped to get improved bus service
here
Shuttle buses operating on stub
lines from Stilhvater to the nine-
mile corner on the south and to
the twelve-mile corner on the
north transfer Stillwater passen-
gers to main line buses operating
between Tulsa and Oklahoma
City
Want on Main Line
'Stillwater wants main line fa-
cilities "They didn't give us any
encouragement" Whipple said of
the Tulsa conference M K & O
is operating twenty-eight transfer
connections here per day but the
transfer system is highly unsatis-
factory Whipple said His trans-
portation committee is attempting
to convince the bus line owners
that at least three of the through
buses from Tulsa to Oklahoma
City and at least one of the
through buses from Tulsa to Enid
should come directly through
Stillwater
"The bus schedule indicates that
it is two hours sixteen minutes
from Stillwater to Tulsa" Whipple
said "but I have never made it in
less than' three hours on a bus
and some tell me of being five
hours on the trip"
Business is Here
Whipple added that he was con
vinced more persons here would
patronize the bus lines out of
Stillwater if they were not forced
to transfer and take chances on
delays
Hal McNutt chamber president
stated that a delegation of some
250 Stillwater persons is wanted
when the hearing comes up before
the corporation commission Still-
water contends that some of the
through buses should travel High-
way 51 into Stillwater from Od-
a ton rather than skip Stillwater
! entirely
Whipple said his committee
doubted the assertion made in
Tulsa Thursday that Stillwater
bus traffic was "costing the com-
pany money" He hinted that
committeetnen have information
to the contrary
"This is the hardest town in
Oklahoma to get into" Whipple
stated "Traveling men repeat-
I edly tell me this" He added that
revenue from bus travel in and out
' of Stillwater is more than that
from any two towns between Tulsa
and Oidahoma City The Tulsa-
Oklahoma City route would be
four and one-half miles longer
through 1Stillwater than it is at
present but the stub connection's
would be cut down

ITS EFFECT HERE
-
If oil goes under a dollar fol--
lowing the Sinclair° cut of th'3
week the effect of the price slash
will be felt all down the line in
the oil Indust's and will have an-
other marked effect in the matter
of state revenue Ninety-cent oil
likely would mean a general tight-
ening of production and might de-
lay new operations in the Ramsey
field A heavy general revenue
cut in Oklahoma due to falling
gross production taxes would ul-
timately bring about department-
al and institutional economies to
meet the situation and institution-
al towns would feel the reaction
ed the cut was th'rty days prema-
ture that had it come a month
later there would have been an
immediate reaction downward by
all major companies
Opposition developed on several
fronts including a blast by Rus-
sell Drown general counsel fn
Washington of the Independent
Petroleum association who ques-
tioned Sinclair's motives in mak-
ing the cut
"There is no justification for a
general reduction especially dur-
ing this 'period of unprecedented
constimpt'on" Brown said
W A Goforth president of the
Oklahoma Stripper Well associa-
tion denounced the cut and call-
ed on Gs '?rnor Phillips to use his
"best efforts" to prevent the cut
from becoming widespread
"A reduction in price of crude
oil at this time will place such a
burden on operators of stripper
wells that many may not be able
to continue to operate their prop-
erties" Goforth said
The Sinclair slash alone 113
thousands of small stripper op-
erators in the six-state area in
which it buys oil — Oklahoma

sas and New Mexico
