Oil Shortage Is
Held Unlikely
Government Action
Draws Criticism
SEMINOLE, July 17—(U.R)—Har-
old B. Fell, Ardmore, one of the
nation's leading independent oil op-
erators, said here last night that
there was no danger of a serious oil
shortage in this country.
He attributed predictions of short-
ages of crude oil reserves to "gov-
ernment agencies in no way con-
nected with the oil industry-.”
In a speech at Seminole's cele-
bration of the anniversary of oil
discovery in this area, Fell said
1 one of the oil and gas Industry's
grealeet- handicaps was a fear of
more federal government control.
He criticized recent action of the
federal power commission in fixing
price of natural gas at the well
when the product is transported in
Interstate commerce. He urged pas-
sage of a bill by Representative
Ross Rizley (Republican, Okla-
homa! taking from FPC the power
to fix well head prices of gas.
The speaker assailed the theory
that government regulations were
necessary to operation of the oil
and gas industry.
"Under our system of free com-
petitive enterprise," he said, 'our
domestic petroleum industry has
made greater strides than the in-
dustry has in any country where
there is government control and
monopoly.”
He said future of the petroleum
industry depended upon freedom of
opportunity to solve its own prob-
lems.

Veto Message
Will Be Brief
Truman Is Rejecting
Tax Reduction Bill
WASHINGTON, July 17 —(;p)_
President Tryjman’s message veto-
ing the new Republican-sponsored
Income tax reduction bill will be
short.
Presidential Secretary Charles G.
Ross confirmed today that Mr.
Truman's second veto of tax cut-
ting legislation this year will go
to congress tomorrow. The house
will consider the presidential re-
jection first.
Ross did not estimate the word-
age of the message, but told re-
porters it will not be “very long—
not as long” as Mr. Truman's
statement in June rejecting simi-
lar legislation to slash taxes by
$4,000,000,000.
Meanwhile, House Minority Lead-
er Sam Rayburn (Democrat, Texas!
said the Democratic party welcomes
a Republican challenge to make
the GOP-sponsored tax-cutting bill
an issue in the 1948 presidential-
election.
“The Democratic party is for
the proper kind of tax reduction at
the proper time,” the Texan told
reporters. "But if the Republicans
want to throw this kind of tax
bill into the campaign, we’ll wel-
come the issue.”

Greek Rebels
Retreat Into
Mountain Area
Government Troops
Expect Developments
Along Frontiers
ATHENS, July 17—(/P)—Military
circles expressed belief today that
survivors of the 2,500 guerrillas—
who, the government said, invaded
Greece from Albania Sunday—had
withdrawn successfully eastward
toward the towering Mt. Grammos
range near the frontier.
Only scattered minor clashes
were reported in the Mt. Gamlla
area.
The rebels’ retreat was noted
yesterday when Greek army units
attacked north of Ionnlna, but
failed to contact the main force.
Military informants said they be-
lieved the insurgents were trying
to reach their comrades on Mt.
Grammos, where national forces
were harrying another group of
2,000. The larger party failed In
an attempt to capture Ionnlna,
capital of Epirus.

"No one can live in my houses
unless they have children," he
stated emphatically. “I have read
where many property owners have
barred children, and even have
evicted couples for having a baby

"What do they want you to do

Guy Thompson, president of the
Sallisaw chamber of commerce, sec-

said he thought most landlords in-
Sallisaw felt the same way.
We’re going to make this the
children’s center of the southwest,"
the civic leader said. "Anyway,
we’re going to make them welcome,
instead of booting them out.
Thompson proposed a spread of
the Sallisaw sentiment to communi-
ties throughout the nation.
Wheeler Mayo, publisher of the
Sequoyah County Democrat, pointed
out Sallisaw was in the edge of one
of the southwest’s most historic and
picturesque playgrounds— the Cook-

"We have one of the very finest
natural playgrounds for children In
the Cooksons,” he said.

were the lair of notorious bank and

Inquiry Proposed
On Higher Costs
WASHINGTON, July 17 —(IP,—
Resolutions calling for separate in-
vestigations of the high cost of
living and of the housing shortage
were approved today by the senate
banking committee.
Each inquiry would be conducted
by a joint committe of senators
and representatives, and each would
have $100,000 In operating funds

Poland Aligns
With Russia
New Government In
Greece Is Demanded
LAKE SUCCESS, July IT—(>p)—
Poland joined Russia today in
olaming Greece for the current
Balkan disorders and demanded
formation of a new coalition gov-
ernment in Greece, new elections
and the immediate withdrawal of
foreign military personnel.
Poland’s views were stated by
Dr. Oscar Lange, united nations
security council president, as the
council met In extraordinary ses-
sion In. an atmosphere Intensified
by the fighting in northern Grefece.
"It is necessary that Greece be
extricated from the network of in-
ternational power politics," Lange
said in demanding the withdrawal
of foreign troops.
Lange said the primary trouble
in thq Balkans must be attributed
to the Internal situation In Greece,
aggravated by the presence of for-
eign troops.
Lange vigorously opposed the
American proposal for a semi-
permanent UN commission in the
Balkans on the ground that this
seemed to be based on the as-
sumption that the three Soviet
satellites — Albania, Bulgaria and
Yugoslavia—were to blame for the
Balkan trouble.
The council plunged again into
the Balkan situation after postpon-

Guy Hobgood, superintendent
the Concho Indian agency.
Authority to recall all members
of the education staff was received
Wednesday by Hobgood from the
central Indian office at Chicago,
and Hobgood was informed that
no reduction in enrolment at the
Concho school was anticipated.
There are 28 employes serving on
the education staff at Concho and
practically all of them were re-
leased from duty status last May
24 when It appeared that federal
appropriations would be inadequate
to maintain the school.
None of the hospital employes
at Concho had been released from
duty and consequently it was not
necessary to recall any members of
the hospital staff, Hobgood said.
"We have received no word as
to what our budget for the next
year will be,” Hobgood said, “but
we believe our funds for operating
the school will be as much as was
available the past year.”
A heavy cut in the administra-
tive staff, however, is anticipated
at Concho, Hobgood said. Of the
14 employes on Concho’s admin-
istrative staff, it is probable that
only three will be retained in the
agenry when anticipated reductions
are made.

He Is R. J. Eggert,of Chicago,
associate director of marketing for
the institute, who said a 15 per-
cent Increase In meat supplies at
“moderately lower prices” may be
expected this fall and winter.
He told the senate-house eco-
nomic committee at the conclusion
of a series of hearings on wage
and price stabilization problems:
“When allowance Is made for
black market overcharges, and the
subsidies that consumers paid in-
directly In their tax blU, some
meat cuts such as chuck roast and
hamburger are actually selling at
or below the actual cost of meat
to consumers under OPA.”
Eggert cited these principal rea-
sons for the rise in meat prices
since January:
1. A seasonal, 10 to 15 percent
decline in supplies.
2. An Increase in weekly wages
In industry “to an all-time high.”
3. A record peak of 60.000,000 per-
sons employed, an increase of about
4 percent since the start of the
year.

At the meeting of chamber of

with Thomas and others In Wash-

Is nearing adjournment and d»f-

Fort Reno may be made within
the next few days.
If the agriculture department in-
sists upon establishing an exr»«ri-
mental ranch on the Fort Peno
reservation instead of sub-dlvidlng
and making the tract available
to veterans for homes, congress
will refuse to appropriate funds,
Thomas warned.
He said Secretary of Agriculture
Clinton P. Anderson had "changed
his tune” about departmental plans
for the project and now opposes
sub-division of the land for sale to
veterans for farming purnoses.
Originally the deoariroent con-
curred in the Thom as-Morris plan
to transfer the station from the
war department to agriculture for
veterans’ use, Thomas pointed out.
Enactment Jeopardized
The department’s changed atti-
tude Jeopardizes enactment of ' a
bill for the transfer, introduced
Jointly in the senate and in the
house by Thomas and Morris.
“The bill is dead If that Is the
department’s attitude," Thomas de-
clared.
Otherwise, the measure is re«dv
for enactment, having passed the
house and received the support of
all other interested government
agencies, aside from the agriculture
department, Thomas said.
Legislation as advanced by
Thomas and Morris provides for
transfer of buildings at Fort Reno
to the city of El Reno for use as
a city-county hospital, for resi-
dences for doctors and nurses, and
for other industrial purposes, while
land included in the reservation
would be sub-divided and sold to
veterans for agriculture use.
