By the Associated Pre. the | Opening | formed session of the new legislative committee of the Federal Oil Conservation Board today, Secretary Work pictured an “urgent need for more whole-hearted co-opera- tion"” by oil company executives actu- ted by a more thorough realization of the common interest in conserva- tion of petroleum resources. The committee composed of nine { members—three from the ment, three from the oil industry nd . the suggestion of That such a com- mittee was needed to study possible legislation for the conservation of petroleum and the elimination of pro duction waste was unquestioned, he declared. Continued Plenty Not Assured. The unprecedented flood of oil dur- .|ing the past year cannot be construed st of continued plenty, the id, but rather, and very , should be viewed as an - | unnecessary draft upon the Nation's reserve. Speaking for the Federal Ofl Con. ation Board, of which he is chair- man, the Secretary expressed hope that the committee would determine upon a consiructive program in the interest of practical conservation of th ountry’s resour 3 here are several schools ‘of econ- flicting thought concerning legisla- tion,” he deciared. “Both the pro- ponents and opponents of cach are leaders in their fields, and all are entitled o respectful attention Whether the JFederal Government \ | possesses power to legislate concern- ing petroleum production; whether the anti-trust laws should he amend- ed; whether State laws should be amended to a definite degree of uni- formity, are the questions this com- mittee doubtless will consider." Federal Boards Aim. The Federal board considers the better correlation of underground rights and the relief of competitive pressure as the principal factor in actual conservation, said the Secre- ry, adding 1€ you can devise a substitute for the present legal procedure, which now expr the primitive instinets of the chase, something that is more in keeping with present-day engineer: *|ing and economic knowledge and the national responsibility of ourfuture, then you will have performed a task of constructive statesmanship. Excess production of an expendible resource like petroleum is never ad- ntageous, Secretary Work said Too often the small operator is forced to the wall, he contended, while the ,|large corporation suffers only de- . |creased profits. Partial Profit to Cons The reduction of well only in part sumer, he maintained, and the lowered price will eventually be offset by hikher prices incident to depleted sup- i imer. e oil at the ches the con- n co-operative committee of en- lawyers and Government rep- he concluded, “should ider only legislation the purpose of which would be to protect our oil deposits against rapid depletion and the public against future high prices of those oil products that must be continued to be dominant factors in our indust ind social life.” Births Reported.

Views Set The chalrman confined his remarks entirely to explaining the viewpoint of the ways and means committee in recommending the bill as it is. He pointed out the committee had gonc vecord against any cut in excess i $ nd that every effort had heen made by its majority to hold the proposed reduction as near as pos- sible to the maximum of 5,000,000 set by the Treasury. It was felt, the chairman continued, that, the corporation tax, which has not heen reduced since the waf, should receive first consideration, and for this reason the rate on corporation in- comes should be cut from 13% to 11% per cent. He added that the Federal income tax and the present rates on incomes within the intermediate brackets had not heen touched committee believed they were equita ble and should remain as they are. Mr. Green also touched briefly upon the committee’s recommendation to reduce from 3 to 113 per cent the t: on automobile sales. In referrin other reductions, which include a 5( pbr cent cut in the tax on club dues, | an increase from nts to $1 in the | exemption & |ets, he said the committce regarded these changes as equitable. Mr. Garner at the outset of his re- marks said that Green had pictur ably the various aspects of the reve- nue bill, but that he had a reverse picture to give.
