many times in this matter it was
not a new experience for the owners

declared Sandefer "It is beyond
human conception how a limited
few can continue to ram down the
throats of the American people this
absurd injustice.
“Oil is vital to the war effort. That
fact has never been questioned but
why should the operators of 300,000
stripper wells spread out over every
oil producing state, be asked to
continue to produce their badly
needed commodity at a price below
actual cost. No group is more pa-
triotic than the stripper operators.
But the noose around our necks is
so tight that we are gasping for
breath and only a price raise in
crude oil can save us '

To Stripper Cause
BRECKENRIDGE, oct. 30 —(P)—
Determination not to sit idly by and
see the resources of the stripper well
operators destroyed by an unjust de-
cision of bureaucratic groups was
expressed by J. D. Sandefer Jr. of
Breckenridge who only thia week
was elected president of the Nation-
al Stripper Well Association in con-
vention at Fort Worth.
Sandefer rallied to the cause of
the stripper operators after Stabili-
zation Director Vinson denied an
increase in crude prices Sandefer
made no reference to the subsidy
as proposed far the stripper opera- L
