Uncle Sam names a committee of nine to consider legislation for Conservation of Country's Oil Resources. A Committee of None composed of three representatives of the Government, a like number from the petroleum industry and three representatives from the American Bar Association, were named by the Federal Oil Conservation Board today to consider a legislative program for the conservation of the country's natural petroleum resources. The Committee of Nine is shown standing in the photograph, left to right: W.S. Farish, Humble Oil Company, Texas; James A. Veasey, American Bar Association; Henry M.

Oil companies have no desire to create monopoly, House Judiciary Committee told. Washington, D.C., June 23. W.S. Farish, President of the Standard Oil Company of New Jersey, said before the House Judiciary Committee today that there is keen competition among oil companies and that major companies have no desire to create a monopoly. Farish joined other oil company executives in condemning before the committee a bill to divorce production, refining, and marketing processes of the oil industry
America's petroleum industries pour out fuel and lubricants for the United Nations. An oil well, marked by a tall, steel derrick, is producing oil for the United Nations in the garden of a private home in Oklahoma City, capital of the U.S. southwest state of Oklahoma. Oil industrialists in the U.S. have searched for oil over nearly every foot of the ground in America. They are aided in their search by geology experts trained in reading the surface of the ground as well as test borings to detect the presence of oil, often at great underground depths. In the case of Oklahoma City the town was built before it was discovered that rich petroleum deposits lay under the town site. Oil wells were even drilled on the State House grounds near the state's Capitol building, and the flow from these wells enriched the coffers of the state government. What geologists call the "diligence" of U.S. seekers after oil has made the U.S. a great oil producing nation, though it contains but 15 percent of the proven oil deposits of the world

America's petroleum industries pour out fuel and lubricants for the United Nations. A geologist, employed by one of the important U.S. oil companies, surveys, with the help of his "rod man" standing on the ridge in the background, a section of land to detect the presence of a possible oil deposit under the ground. "Hit or miss" methods of drilling for oil were discarded long ago in the United States. Today careful preliminary surveys and test borings precede the sinking of most oil wells. Geology experts of the important oil companies are able as a rule to read the surface of the ground accurately for the detection of oil deposits. The industry's efficient methods of finding oil have resulted in the enormous amounts of oil produced. According to a U.S. oil company official, the predictable U.S. oil total for the year 1944 will be 1,601,250,000 barrels, a great part of which will supply the armed forces of the United Nations
America's petroleum industries pour out fuel and lubricants for the United Nations. The largest oil pipeline ever laid runs from the U.S. southwest state of Texas eastward to the Atlantic coast, a distance of almost 1,400 (2240 kilometers) miles, over which 300,000 barrels of oil every day is being pumped to help supply the enormous war demands of the armed forces of the U.S. and the United Nations. The pipeline is 24 inches in diameter and cost $95,000,000 to complete. The section being laid in the ground has been given a coat of hot asphalt paint. The building of the pipeline insured a steady flow of fuel oil from the oil fields to Atlantic coast ports
America's petroleum industries pour out fuel and lubricants for the United Nations. A geology expert of one of the large oil companies U.S. displays two varieties of sand from an oil drilling district. The hand on the left holds dry, oil-less sand, while the one on the right holds sand rich and dark with oil. The latter oil-soaked sand, called "Simpson sand," is the goal of all seekers of oil and finding the sand in a test-boring indicates that is a well is sunk at that place the chances of "striking" oil are good. No longer do oilwell drillers in the U.S. rely on "hit or miss" methods of drilling for oil. Geologists make careful surveys of the surface of the ground to detect those geological characteristics which indicate the presence of oil deposits beneath. The industry's high efficiency has resulted in the production of enormous quantities of oil, a great part of which today propels and lubricates the planes, navies, and mechanized equipment of the United Nations' armed forces
Ickes urges government control of oil. Washington, D.C., Nov. 10. Secretary of Interior Harold Ickes commended to a House Interstate Commerce Subcommittee today the Cole Petroleum Conservation Bill as a means to avert breakdown of state oil control before such an event occurs. The Cole Bill would authorize federal control over oil production with a view to preventing waste
America's petroleum industries pour out fuel and lubricants for the United Nations. An "oil flow chart," showing the course of oil through a modern plant, is being studied by men of an oil "cracking" unit in the U.S., while an expert explains to them the intracacies of the chart. Large oil "cracking" plants, for the rapid production of aviation gasoline and other products, are one of the most recent developments in the refining phase of the oil industry in the United States. Crude oil in these units, when subjected to great heat and pressure, is forced to give up more of its derivable elements than by former methods of refining. The process "cracks" or breaks down the crude oil molecules. In the last eight years since the process was put into operation more than 1,000,000,000 barrels of crude oil, it is estimated, have been saved by the large quantities of crude oil products now being made available to the combat units of the U.S. and her allies

The Harris & Ewing, Inc. Collection of photographic negatives includes glass and film negatives taken by Harris & Ewing, Inc., which provide excellent coverage of Washington people, events, and architecture, during the period 1905-1945. Harris & Ewing, Inc., gave its collection of negatives to the Library in 1955. The Library retained about 50,000 news photographs and 20,000 studio portraits of notable people. Approximately 28,000 negatives have been processed and are available online. (About 42,000 negatives still need to be indexed.)
