Wildcat Oil Well Erupts and Catches Fire Near Baton Rouge
In Louisiana the Amerada Petroleum Corp wildcat between Rosedale and Grosse Tete about 20 miles west of Baton Rouge blew out and caught fire destroying drilling equipment. The well, topped at 10 460 feet, blew out first Sept 6 during a drill stem test. No one injured. Gas vented for over a day until central control stopped it Monday after 17 000 sacks of drilling mud were forced up the air. A third blowout yesterday likely destroyed the well. Drilling of another well is needed before tests can proceed.

He noted a subcommittee is studying the issue, but no recommendation has been sent to President Roosevelt. He warned voluntary agreements with labor and management may not suffice and that government intervention in the labor market is likely, following reports of serious shortages in 35 production centers.
