WASHINGTON, April 29 (P)—
A nation-wide boom in oil pro-

wake of higher crude oil prices,
oil.shortages and talk of war.
So say the men who should
know—the staff of the oil and gas
division of the Securities and Ex-
change commission.
Their job is to keep track of oil
promoters and their securities
and the general state of the oil in-
dustry.

Spanish Treasurer
Again Is Sought
Off Costa Rica
By ALLAN REID
United Press Staff Correspondent
RIVERSIDE, Cal. (UP).—The
lure of Spanish doubloons is
strong here and 1,000 residents are
convinced that a map belonging
to James Forbes IV shows where
some really are.
They are so convinced that they
have bought shares of stock to fi-
nance the fourth trip of a treas-
ure hunting expedition that will
lead to a small island off the Costa
Rican coast. Discoveries made
during the last visit, in March of
1947, have them feeling confident
that this trip will be successful.
Forbes discovered the map
among some papers belonging to
his great-grandfather, a sea cap-
tain who befriended an aged sailor
in South America and was given
a treasure map in return.
The great-grandfather married
a short time later and never did
look for doubloons. Spanish dol-
lars, bars of silver and pouches of
jewels supposedly buried on the
island. Neither did several other
descendants.
Descriptions Fit
Forbes was enchanted by the
idea, however, and is eagerly
waiting to make his fourth at-
tempt. The island descriptions
corresponded exactly with the
map on his last visit, even though
the spot where the treasure was
supposed to be buried was in the
middle of the bay. An electric
mine detector failed to locate
anything at all on the island.
It was by chance that Forbes
carried the detector from land
back to the sloop anchored in the
bay. As they passed over the
terminal indicated by the correct
latitude and longitude readings
from the old description, the de-
tector leaped to life and the bell '
clanged over water many fathoms ’
deep, he said.
Investigation indicated the pos- .
sibility that an earthquake had ■
deposited the treasure-laden sec- 1
tion of the island into the bay.

19 PERMANENTS FOR
2 THE PRICE OF
port the fact of their promotions
to SEC. They are required by law
to submit financial statements
and they must submit their “lit-
erature.”
The SEC staff combs over
every comma. Its three geological
experts compare the reports with
maps, sometimes go into the field.
The staff’s lawyers sniff for evi-
dence of fraud.
In the past four months, say
these lawyers there has been a
marked increase in “actionable
stuff” crossing their desks. Ac-
tionable stuff means questionable
oil ventures which may land the
promoters in jail.
The lawyers’ work in tracking
down questionable promoters is
secret, so they refuse figures and
other specific information on the
increase of these promotions.
Many Promotions Honest
Many oil promotions are in no
way dishonest. Yet the experts
get headaches trying to pin down
the facts.
The commission is forbidden by
law to pass on the merits of se-
curities. Its main job is to see
that all the facts are honestly
stated. This is the rub.
As one lawyer says:
“We tear our hair out trying to
get at the facts because most of
the material they file with us al-
ways has a semblance of fact
running through it. They label
their literature carefully. They
don’t promise a dime’s return.
And they frankly point out the
risk.
“Some of them are pretty good
little deals. But most of them are
long shots. Generally, the whole
I field of oil promotions is pretty
hazardous.
“What many of them try to do
is milk the buyer without run-
ning afoul of the law. They real-
ly own land and drill wells. But
they have to pay themselves a
salary.
“Most of their literature is di-
rected at people with not much
money. They will even offer
small amounts on the installment •
plan. They won’t hesitate to take
as little as $5 from a school teach-
er.
