DEMAND ABSORBS LARGER OIL FLOW Stocks Drop 81,000 Barrels in May Despite New Production. Crude ofl production increased 52,000 barrels a day in May, but the demand | was such that at the end of the month | stocks had dropped 81,000 barrels be- low the April total, the Department of Commerce announced today. Laid-to East Texas, The increase, which came despite | proration agreements in many fields and restriction agreements by import- ers, was credited largely to the East Texas field, That field increased its daily average output from 251,000 bar- rels to 308.000. Most of the increase was due to completion of 274 new wells. Production of motor fuel was 1,258~ 000 barrels daily against 1,220,000 bar- rels in April, with indicated domestic demand of 1,152,000 barrels. Stocks of motor fuel on hand May | 81 were 47,948,000 barrels, which, 'hcf department said, though a decline from the April stocks of 639,000 barrels, was larger than expected, due to the mate- rial gain in output. Foreign Oil Kept Out, At the same time, Secretary Lamont said, he expected limitation of imports of oil by the larger companies would be continued for an indefinite period. The original agreement for limitation | for 90 days expired at midnight last night Lamont said three of the four com- panies involved were willing to con- tinue the restrictions. REV. W. J. D.

Cope- land, Democrat, of New York, attacked President Hoover's administration last night as having “failed in leadership™ during the depression. He spoke at & meeting of the Orange County Detm cratic Committee. The reaction to the Republican ad- ministration is so marked, Senator Copeland said, that “unless the Demo- crats themselves hand the election to their_opponents, we are sure of victory | in '32." ‘The President’s proposal for suspen- said, has his hearty approval. “My regret is that he (President Hoover) didn’t go further and partic- ularly that he did not present this pro- posal to the world long, long ago." he said. “No wonder he is charged super-critics with taking this step e political reasons. No wonder the Re- publican National Committee shouts from the housetops the political im- | portance of_this belated action of the President. It is so unusual for him to | act in any matter of importance that friends are almost hysterical with joy.” Senator Copeland said the depression is due to the improverishment of countries with a silver standard, to | international debts, Russian competi- tion, agricultural aurnluu! -SDICUII- tion, “bankers’ hysleril and the TAMPA CUBANS BURN MACHADO IN EFFIGY; /2,000 Join March After Mass Meet- ing When Island President Is Denounced.
