TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 11, 1932 ALTON EVENING TELEGRAPH in Reserve 'No Danger of Gasoline Supply Being Exhausted 9 Clark Says WOOD RIVfcR A government plan to build a $400.000,000 synthetic fuels plant to make gasoline from coal Is "utter waste and nonsense, C. H. Clark told Fluor Construction Co. employes In a meeting at Monday night. Clark said such a government plant would be obsolete long before It was completed.

He Is community relations representative for the refinery here of Standard Oil Co (Indiana) and spoke to the Fluor employes on "Where Tomorrosv's Gasoline Will Come From." He noted that oil men have always managed to find oil faster than people use It and that "as long as the oil industry continues under free, private management, there will be plenty of gasoline at reasonable prices to drive the automobiles of your grandchildren and their grandchildren. IS Years' Supply "The United States has reserves of about 30 billion barrels of petroleum, or, enough to last for about 12 years," he said. Clark reminded that proved, reserves havo grown larger instead of 1920. There is no danger the supply of gasoline will be exhausted, he declared. Oil companies as well as the, U.

S. Bureau of Mines are doing extensive research on synthetic fuels, and oil-companies will begin making them commercially "as soon as there is any reason to do so." He called spending $400,000,000 for a synthetic plant "a waste of steel as well as a waste of money." He added that there "could hardly be a better example of the wastefulness of socialization and of having a job done by federal government employes who have little incentive to work efficiently." "Industry is forced by competition to work efficiently and so produces much more in the way of public benefit for each dollar spent," the oil representative pointed out. He forecast an increase In the price of gasoline and shortages, or even rationing, if efforts in Washington are successful "to slash or eliminate the percentage depletion allowance provision of the federal income tax law." Finding Oil Is Costly Finding oil is a costly and risky business, he said. Clark noted that only one out of nine exploratory wells is successful. He described the depletion allowance as a recognition of the high financial risk involved in finding and producing oil.

By means of simple combustion experiments the speaker also explained, in part, the nature of gasoline and how gasoline may be made in the future. Hydrocarbons, such as those inpetroleum, can be tailor-made to suit the needs of any particular engine, he said. Atomic energy seems entirely out of the question for automobiles, Clark said, because of cost and the heavy shielding devices needed to protect people from dangerous radiations.
