B IT————— OIL PRODUCTION 10 BE CLRTAILED Seminole Area Output Will Be Cut l)ovn’ New York, May 13 (P—An inde- pendent oll operator, Ray H. Col- lins of Tulsa, Okla., today assumed the office of dictator in the nation's bonanza oil pool, the Seminole fleld in Oklahoma, with supreme author- ity to place an artificlal restriction on output for the next two weeks. The vesting of a dictatorship by representatives of nine of the coun- iry's largest operators, meeting here yesterday to consider a policy of| time | curtailment, marks the first since the enactment of the anti- trust laws that a basic industry has taken so drastic a step to cure fts ills, and even the conferees doubt- ed that the federal government would permit the petroleum inter- ests to go as far as they consider advisable to accomplish the desired result. A committce of filve men was selected to develop a plan that would apply in all production areas, and report at a meeting to be held in New York, May 25, at which time Mr. Collins will announce results of his survey in the Seminole field. The committee consists of Walter C. Teagle, A. L. Beatty, C. S. Davison, ves and H. W. Stewart. Teagle, president of the Standard Oil company of New Jer- sey, who called the conference, avolded discussion of the legal issues| involved. He conferred earlier this| week at Washington with Dr. Hu- bert C. Work, secretary of the in- terior. While the administration i: understood to be in sympathy wit| the effort to stabilize the oll indus- try, no definite assurance has been§ ‘The appointment of an umpire in tH® Seminole fleld may pave the way for adoption of the unit operation system proposed four years ago by Henry L.

Congress intervened to halt this repayment, but his pension was cut from $113 to $100. Today Kissinger's wife is in a South Bend hospital where she must undergo a serious operation. Medi- cal men are trying to raise $5,000 to pay for it and to buy Kissinger & home and an acre of land where he could raise chickens and keep a cow. He believes he could support him- self with that help. i He is nearly free of the yellow fever germs, but will never be able to do hard work. His story has been told so often that his cwn com- munity has tired of hearing it, and has given him little aid in recent years. Nor is Kissinger the only forgot- ten sufferer from the victory over yellow fever. - The widow .of Major Walter Reed, who headed the ycllow fever commission and whose name is per- petuated in a Washington hosptial, lives with her daughter in a single room apartment in Washington eke- ing out her pension by making em- broidery to sell.
