Proposed House bill would ruin small oil companies, Kentucky oil executive tells House Committee. Washington, D.C., June 23. Testifying against a proposed House bill that would divorce production, refining and marketing processes in the oil industry, Paul G. Blazer, President of the Ashland Oil and Refining Co. of Kentucky, told the House Judiciary Committee that passage of such a bill would ruin a company like his. He said his company was a small concern but was completely integrated

America's petroleum industries pour out fuel and lubricants for the United Nations. Men at the wheels of large valves regulate the flow of oil into oil tankers at a U.S. Atlantic coast seaport. The oil, flowing from large storage tanks on the dock, is being transhipped to the armed forces of the U.S. and other of the United Nation. Through valves like these pour the derivative products of some of the 1,601,250,000 barrels of oil which the U.S. oil industry will produce this year. The fact that a U.S. Liberator four-motored bomber consumes 1,800 gallons of gasoline in one six-hour bombing run, enough to supply the average citizen motorist with fuel for four or five years of motoring, indicates the heavy volume of oil supplies required in the modern war

America's petroleum industries pour out fuel and lubricants for the United Nations. These three new catalytic oil "cracking" units are turning out gasoline for the new machines of war at the plant of a large U.S. refining company in the southern U.S. state of Louisiana. In the eight years of the development of the "cracking" process in producing gasoline, it is estimated that 1,000,000,000 barrels of crude oil have been saved by the oil industry. The "cracking" process subjects crude oil to heat and pressure by which the oil molecules are broken down and made to release more of their derivable elements. The drain of war on such gasoline producing units as these is shown by the fact that the U.S. has manufactured 180,000 planes since December 7, 1941, propelled by gasoline motors. For example, one U.S. Liberator four-motored bomber in a six-hour bombing run consumes 1,800 gallons of gasoline, enough to last the average U.S. civilian motorist from three to five years

America's petroleum industries pour out fuel and lubricants for the United Nations. Oil well derricks on the beach along the coast of the U.S. Pacific coast state of California indicate how thorough is the seach for oil which has been going on in America for more than eighty years. Some beach wells are drilled straight down to reach oil deposits, but others are drilled at an angle so that oil is being pumped from locations far under the sea. Sometimes the bottom of the well is a quarter mile or half mile from the shore, while surf washes the foundations of the steel tower on which the drilling or pumping machinery is placed. The thoroughness and efficiency of the U.S. oil industry in finding new oil deposits accounts for the enormous supplies produced in America for the modern machines of war. In 1944 according to a U.S. oil company official, the predictable U.S. crude oil total will reach 1,601,250,000 barrels

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
