Oil firm plan to fly home halts Ritz Canton wells
Oil companies and producers in the Ritz Canton field met with the Kansas Public Service Commission in Topeka to discuss rules for wells in a region under a shutdown. The commission modified its order to allow ratable taking at $1 per barrel, with Phillips Petroleum setting the price schedule and some buyers not yet meeting it. The 100 percent shutdown remained in effect for most wells, with limited exemptions later removed after complaints of discrimination. In Dallas, a survey showed 345 active tests in the East Texas field despite martial law shutdown, mainly in northern Upshur County. In Tokyo, Col. Lindbergh and Mrs. Lindbergh indicated they would fly home, rejecting steamship travel and visiting government officials and aviation leaders.
