Looking Ahead In Washington
Washington The senate appropriations committee will weigh approving more than 2.0 billion dollars to aid 16 nations under the economic plan. Critics question ECA food estimates from December and say Europe’s better supply should lower costs.

In labor circles Secretary Schwellenbach’s death shifts attention to Under Secretary Morse as a likely successor, with Morse also considered for the ILO post left by Phelan. Steelman is another possible candidate.

Louisiana Bill Seeks New Oil and Gas Drilling Units
Baton Rouge, June 12. A house judiciary committee approved a bill to revamp well spacing rules. It sets maximum drilling units at 80 acres for oil and 160 for gas, with exceptions by the conservation commissioner if a unit up to 640 acres is drilled one well per 80 or 160 acres. Operators would pay 25 percent of avoided costs to royalty owners. The bill would apply a saving formula and requires six months for compliant units already in place.
