Secretary Ickes' “oil cabinet” today plunged anew into the job of organiz- ing the petroleum industry to carry out its code of competition, The Planning and Co-ordinating Committee, as set up by the code, has yet to select its permanent chairman and to appoint the many minor com- mittees which are to control this in- dustry. Raises in crude prices announced by various companies brought no official comment from the oil exccutives, but some of them remarked privately that the increases were normal and ex- pected, and intimated further rises were likely. ‘There were reports of the formation of a special technical board to ald both the oll cabinet and the administrative | efforts of Secretary Ickes. Besides this, there are suthorized in the code statls- | tical, production, refinery, marketing, accounting, labor, adjustment and transportation committees. It was held possible this set-up might be changed, as the code is sub- Ject to alteration. The technical board. it was said, would be compased of six or seven mem- | beks and the oll legal aides to Secretary Ickes and would include economists and geologists, as well as practical oil men. J. Elmer Thomas of Fort Worth, Tex., was reported as likely to be chairman..| with at least two of the members to be petroleum experts from the Bureau of Mines, which would compile esti- mates of production needs.
