Senators Oppose Free
For-All Big 4 Confab
WASHINGTON, U4 —Senators
Hickenlooper (R-Ia) and Kefauver
(D-Tenn) today opposed Winston
Churchill’s call for a big four
informal discussion of world
problems. The two senators said
in separate interviews the United
States should demand advance
agreement on specific topics to be
discussed before approaching any
such meeting.
Although both said they were
speaking only for themselves,
their expressed views coincided
with expressed White House and
State Department opposition to
any free-for-all conference.
Prime Minister Churchill said
in a speech in England last week
that “one good thing might lead
to another” if the heads of state
got together and talked things
over.

Only One Of Four
Navy Oil Reserves
Worthy Of Name
WASHINGTON, UP)—Only one
of the four naval petroleum re
serves is worthy of the name, Rob
ert W. Smart, chie| counsel of the
House Armed Services Commit
tee, said Saturday.
At committee hearings last
March, some members expressed
belief that the Navy should not
be in the petroleum business at
all. Suggestions have been made
that the Navy’s oil activities be
transferred to the Interior De
partment.
Naval Reserve No. 1—Elk Hills,
Calif.—was described by Smart
as a “true naval oil reserve.”
It is operated under a unit plan
contract by the Navy and the
Standard Oil Co. of California. In
World War II, when opened wide
for the first time, the field pro
duced in excess of 100,000 barrels
of oil a day. It now has been cur
tailed to 6,500 barrels daily.
After considerable exploration,
Reserve No. 4, which is in Alaska,
is being put on a standby basis.
Much of the equipment and most
of the naval personnel at the Point
Barrow headquarters are being
brought home.
More than $50 million has been
spent on the reserve and it was
planned to spend another $10 mil
lion during the coming year.
But while oil was found, it ap
parently was not in commercial
quantities. Hence, a decision to
call off further exploration.
The -Navy’s No. 2 reserve at
Buena Vista Hills, Calif., is being
operated by private producers,
with the Navy receiving royalty
on both oil and gas.
Navy’s No. 3 reserve at Teapot
Dome, Wyo., has no production
now, having been shut down on
Jan. 8, 1928.
Canada is second only to South
Africa in gold production. The
precious metal is mined in all but
two of Canada’s provinces.
