2 % HOOVER OIL ORDER LENIENCY SOUGHT Senators Ask That It Not; Apply to Leases Filed Before | It Was Effective. Br the Associated Press. President Hoover took under advise- | ment today a request of a group of | Senators from the public land States | that the ofl conservation order recently issued by him should not be made retro- active as to applications for leases and | prospecting permits filed before the or- @er pecame effective, and as yet uncon- | sidered by the Interior Department. The Senators alto said the Chief | Executive had looked with favor upon their further proposal that there should | be special consideration in the cases of permits in which special equities cxisted | at the time the order stopping further drilling and prospecting on all publie lands was issued. Senator Waish, Demoerat, of Mon- tana, who prosecuted the naval oil re- serve leases, explained that in many | cases several permittees having a right to prospect on a specific geological for- | mation had joined forces to sink a single test well on the assumption that their permits would be extended to per- mit of further drilling. As they now ununund the order, he declared, Lhe permits for all sections except that uj which a well lrm-lly has been dril led ‘ux;&flher case dud to Mr, Hoover was that of permittees who had drilled wells | at large expense only to find dry holes. Tt was said they understand the inten- l Radio Forum Speakers I | nen 'was to cancel these permits despite he willingness of their holders to go nhun with the drilling of additional | wells in adjacent territory. | The Senators also referred to per- mittees who have employed geologiste | to make investigations for them at l considerable expense and whose permits | ‘would be canceled without giving them | an opportunity to begin actual drilling | to determine whether there are oll de- posits in the lands.

LONDON, April 26.—Grand Duke ‘Cnr died here this morning. Grand Duke Michael suffered an at- | tack of influsnza late in the Winte { which left him weak, and his family had given up hope he might live some days past. The grand duke was for years an im- portant figure in London soelety and smart Anglo-American circles on the Riviera, where he spent most of his time. Although his fortunes were badly depleted by the Russlan revolution, he still was able to maintain a fine Lon- don residence and beautiful villa at Cannes, where h® sometimes entertained 1avishly. marriage with Countess Torby at San Remo 2nd they lived together devotedly uniil her death in London in sepr.enh ber, 1927.

Théy also had a son, Count Michael Torby. as “Miche-Miche,” a nickname which was in odd contradistinction to his im- | posing soldierly appearance. The grand duke was deeply affected | by his wife's death two years ago and | | his health was never the same after- | | ward.

House consumed only a week under rules adopted to expedite passage of the measur2, and the vote was obtained just 110 legislative days after the special se: sion was convened. The new farm relief bill was passed by the House yesterday, just 10 days after the convening of the special ses- sion of Congress. e vote was 367 to 34, only two Mrubnuna being ame those in opposition—Tinkham of Mas- sachusetts and Stafford of Wisconsin, | the latter & new member.

The support given it by both Repub- licans and Democrats brought the bill through the House unchanged in an; major respect from the form in whicl it came from the agriculture committee.
