Oil Reserve Policy Attacked by Geologist Smith
Worcester May 21 The U S Geological Survey director George Otis Smith told the Massachusetts chamber of commerce that leasing naval oil reserve lands for private exploitation endangers national security and future needs. He urged keeping oil in the ground, warning of price swings and a hazardous reliance on “without cash outlay” deals with steel tanks and harbor projects. He blamed both industry and a legislative role for the policy shift.

Tax bill favored by all in conference action
The plan proposes a 2 percent tax on incomes up to $4,000, 4 percent on $4,000 to $8,000, and 6 percent above that. Surtax rates are lower than earlier House Democratic proposals, with margins similar to the GOP plan. White House officials say Coolidge is favorably disposed toward the bill, which conference leaders deem fair and beneficial, though some tax reductions and full publicity proposals are excluded. The measure would yield $84.5 million more than Senate passage but remain $100.05 million short of the treasury surplus for tax reduction, with $160 million earmarked for next year's bonus. A Midwest drug chain case reports 20,000 rolls of film collected for development in one week.
