Oil Price Increases Defended by Industry Leader
Washington oil industry leader Hines H. Baker testified before a joint Senate Antimonopoly Public Lands Subcommittee that recent rises in oil and gas prices stem from higher costs and the need to spur exploration. Baker, president of Humble Oil & Refining Co., said prices are relatively low compared with wages and earnings, and noted Humble raised gasoline by 1 cent per gallon to offset crude costs. He argued the industry must expand exploration to restore reserve-to-demand balance. Senator O Mahoney and other lawmakers pressed to curb or roll back price hikes.
