Work Urges Govt Commission On Oil Problem
Secretary Work proposes a permanent federal oil commission to oversee conservation, reclamation, and oil policy. He urges cabinet-level involvement and a unified approach to territorial affairs in Alaska and Hawaii, while signaling possible reforms to public land laws and a reorganization of agencies including the pension, land, and Indian services. The oil production on public lands yielded vast royalties, with only a portion returned to states and funds used to cover supervision costs.
