3 3, 1929 ~ CONSERVATION BODY HASNO POWER OVER [== CURTAILMENT MOVE Is Mitchell's Ruling to Oil Board on Plans of American Pe- troleum Institute Washington, April 3.—(P)—Secre- tary Wilbur today informed repre- “sentatives of the American Petroleum institute that Attorney General , Mitchell had ruled that the federal ” oil conservation board had no power to grant approval of the institute's proposed production curtailment. ‘Mr. Mitchell's letter declared that “it is clear that congress has not giv- en the board any power to grant to any persons immunity from the oper- _ ations of the acts of congress prohi- biting agreements in restraint of in- terstate commerce and that the board has no authority to approve any ac- tion which is contrary to an act of congress or to the anti-trust acts of any state; and that no action taken by the board would have the effect of relieving such parties to such an agreement from the operations of the anti-trust laws.” The attorney general in referring to the actual legality of the curtailment of production said that “as the powers of the board are limit- eq in this way the question whether the proposed agreement would violate ire anti-trust laws of the United tates is apparently not a question arising in one of the executive de- partments on which the attorney general 4s authorized by law to give an opinion. Furthermore, it is not the practice of attorneys-general to give opinions as to whether proposed action by private persons would vio- late the laws of the United States.” ~ Mr. Mitchell said that the proceed- ings of the petroleum institute make it clear that its members already realize that under existing laws such an agreement could not safely be made without the sanction of some official of the United States auth- grized to give and “as I have pointed out no such authority exists.” BROWN REELECTED SCOUT CHIEF AGAIN Executive Board Has Meeting at Mandan on Summer Plans and Camp .» Frank H.

The price is almost doubled after the arrival of these commodities in ter- minal markets because of inadequate and wasteful terminal distribution. “There is entirely an inadequate grading and stanc@-dizing of certain commodities, with the result of un- certainty in prices. “There is an inadequate develop- ment of processing for disposal ‘of occasional surpluses of many com- modities into by-products.

HERRICK RITES WILL BE SOLEMN, SIMPLE No Flowers, No Music; No Women Admitted; Only 300 Representatives Paris, April 3—()—Not in the his- tory of France has a foreigner been hrnored in death as France tomorrow will honor United States Ambassador Myron T. Herrick. Every French regu- lation has been stretched to the ut- most to make the last rites for the dead American an impressive me- morial to Franco-American. friend- ship. The ceremony will be, as. Ambassa- dor Herrick would have had it, of ex- treme simplicity, but only space will limit the grandeur of the obsequies for the man who once, thougl. a for- eigner, inferred a simple offer to give his life, if it was needed, for France. Only a few of the thousands who have applied for tickets to the serv- ices at the embassy will hear the fare- well words of Premier Raymond Poin- ‘care, who will speak in the name of the French government, General Per- shing, who will speak for the Ameri- can people, -and Quinones DeLeon, diplomatic corps. ‘There will be no flowers, no music. No women will be admitted—only some 300 representative men in se- vere mourning garb, all according to American usage. The next part of the ceremony, however, will be in French style, with a guard of honor of the French Legion of Honor, arms drawn, lending the only touch of color to a long, solemn funeral cortege. French ministeré, high officials, military and naval. officers, diplo- mats and American friends of the ambassador will follow the coffin afoot, while French troops line the route to the American procathedral, where services will be conducted by Dean Beekman at 11:15 a.m. ‘The body will remain in the edifice until evening, when without ceremony it will be taken to the railroad ter- minal to be put aboard a train for Brest, where it will arrive Friday morning. Escorted by a military guard of henor, it will be placed aboard the ruiser Tourville, while troops tion as Slight; Asks Stim- son for Ruling Washington, April 3.— (®) — Vice President Curtis has asked Secretary Stimson of the state department to reverse the ruling of former Secretary Kellogg that his hostess, Mrs. Edward Gann, a sister, should rank below the wives of ambassadors and ministers at official dinners. In a statement today Mr. Curtis declared that he is “not bound by Mr. | Kelloge’s conclusions.-and has pro- tested to Mr. Stimson.” The new ‘secretary of state, in somewhat of a dilemma, has taken the Curtis protest under considera- tion. The vice president, however, 1s determined to undo what he consid- ers a slight to his sister. On March 19 the vice president notified the department that Mrs. Gann was his official hostess and asked for her full recognition as such. The day before Mr. Kellogg left of- fice, a week later, the secretary re- plied that Mrs. Gann would take her position at official dinners in rank below the wives of the ambassadors and ministers, instead of at the head of the list, as is usually the place of the wife of the vice president. Mr. Curtis said today that he had notified Secretary of State Stimson of “my dissatisfaction with the action of former Secretary Kellogg and have asked for a reversal of it.” He said that Mr. Kellogg acted. upon bred sided here with his sister, and her husband, Mr. Gann.
