OIL INDUSTRY HELD IN SOUND POSITION Secretary of Interior Wilbur By the Assoclated Press. TAYLOR, Tex., December 5.—Louls Kleinman, merchant’ of Dallas and Taylor, was ' she would not Ii pemxmemmim The Julius - Makes Annual Report “Public Today. The ofl industry “is in an- increas- ingly sound position,” Secretary of the Interfor Wiibur said in his annual re- pert mede public today. He rciterated recommendations of the department through the Oil Con- servation Beard for interstate compacts regulating production, and depart- mental sponsorship of unit development of fields. Oil shale lands have been “freed from illegal cleims and together with the vast coal resources of the public domain | will be conserved as a future national supply.” > Further he declared that “sufficient potash has been discovered to render this country independent of foreign sources during any emergency.” $98,000,000 Expended. Reporting on reclamation work, he said a total of $98,000,000 has been ex- vended, of which about $46,000,000 ha: been repaid. “At the present rate,” sdded, “the 10-year program laid ouf in 1927 will require from 15 to 20 years to complete.” The cabinet officer opscrved that the future of reclamation “lies largely with the settlers on the projects.” He cited that most of the districts are on a 40- year repayment plan, and some of them have been given a longer time. “Freedom from interest on the out- standing investment, computed at 4 per cent, means a Federal subsidy of. about $6,000,000 & yeat,” he said. “Every time 8 project exerts political pressure for further reduction of its obligations, it knocks one more foundation stcne from the whole reclamation structure,” he added: 3 “Reclamation is currently subject to two perils. It is subject to attack in some quarters because it is supposed to be adding new farm lands to compete with established production, whereas, in fact, the policy under this administra- tion has been to spend reclamation funds on the rescue of established proj- ects whose water supply is inadequate. “The second. danger is a tendency of some projects to yield to local agitation for the repudiation of their Govern- ment cbligations.” He reported that the Hoover Dam project was a year ahead of its con- struction schedule. In the report’s foreword, Mr. Wilbur asserted: “We uave more people living on the ay roll than on the land. Safety lies the community handling its own forces well. Our_ strength must come out of our own homes, and our own fields, stores, offices and factories. We cannot expect a strong country unless the individual units making it up are largely self-controlled. U. S. Action Massive. “Government_action is massive. If ‘wise, it can be helpful; if unwise, dam- aging to great numbers of people, As a Nation, we are attempting to operate the greatest economic and social or- ganizations in the history of man with social machinery devised largely in an agricultural civilization, in which, re- gardless of legislation, most of our citi- Zens were assured shelter and food. . . Mr. Wilbur said the department's work in the past four years had shifted from liquidation of the remaining pub- lic lands to co-operation with local forces in. conservation, health and edu- cation, Describing the remaining public Jand as largely grazing acreage, and indors- mxnbmpmdl.llxemcmgr-wm- adequate authority should on_this department.” The department’s goal of ‘withdraw- ’ng Federal supervision of Indian wards, Wilbur said, is “within sight,” but could ta0t be attainéd uritil the States “are iwilling to recognize the pecullar re- iponsibility which the Federal Got- rnment has s ent Tec Hawall was termed by Secretary Wil- jur “one of the most peaceful com- { nunities of the world” and “free from ption.” He said the isiands had “suffered during the past year from the notoriety attracted by one criminal case, and its aftermath, a -lynching,” but that good had_resulfed from this, explaining: “‘One benefit which the Territory has derived from the notoriety of the past year is the local support drawn to the Governor's program, which he has urged for several years, for remodeling of the police and prison system and the method of selecting juries.” HUNT CHANGES PREMIERE Ernest Hemingway Will See Movie in Arkansas Hills. NEW _YORK, December 5 ()— Ernest Hemingway is having a great ime hunting down in the Arkansas lls. So Piggott, Ark., and not Broad- y, will see the world premiere of the ifi‘tux-a.mon of one of his novels, “A rewell to Arms.” The picture was to open on Broadway December 7, and the author was invited to attend. - He decided, however, that he wanted to continue his hunting trip.

CREW OF GROUNDED BOAT | PLANS TO RETURN HOME| Further Attempts Will Be Made to Free Lake Steamer When Weather Improves. By the Associated Press. MUNSING, Mich., December 5— though it was reported that further tempts would be made as soon as weather is favorable to free the reef- | bound steamer Georgian, members of the crew said they expect to be paid off today and to return home. Crew mem- bers, who left the ship Saturday night, returned and got their personal effects. Members of the crew said the engine room was filled with water, but that pumps were being operated to lower the level. A diver will make an inspection of the hull of the steamer as soon as weather permits. It is not known how badly damaged the boat is. A tug will attempt to pull the ship free of the Teef. A collie dog, Barney, owned by Capt. i Dahl Hudson, which refused to leave | the boat, was removed forcibly. As soon as it reached the dock, it jumped from the Coast Guard boat and disap- peared.
