Washington AP reports Attorney General Kennedy's oil industry critique prompts Independent Petroleum Association of America president Harold Decker to charge a government campaign to nationalize oil. He defends state laws and warns federal control would harm consumers while noting legal remedies exist. A Lubbock operator plans a 1900 foot wildcat in northeast Eddy County New Mexico and several Lea and Chaves County tests are described with Bend and San Andres prospects.
