OIL CODE Behind the oil code is the story of a bitter and protracted oil war which the code has temporarily abated, but which will cost every automobile owner money. The issue is over the question of price-fixing through government regulation. Clamorous for this are the so-called ''independent' oil operators, among them such giants as Harj-y P. Sinclair, of Teapot Dome notoriety, plus Secretary of Interior Ickes. The latter had been in office for only a few days when he tackled the complex task of trying to in- ! troduce order and control in the cut-throat and chaotic oil industry. Ickes became convinced that the ; only solution, short of outright i government ownership, was price fixing and regulation of production.. produc-tion.. ! In writing the NRA code, price fixing immediately became the battle ground. Unlike other busi- ness groups, the oil men insisted 1 (Continued on Page Four) l FIRE DAMAGES CAR pnly a few dolars worth of damage dam-age was done to the automobile of Miss Elizabeth Souter Monday morning when a short-circuit in the 'ignition caused , a fire.

Political observers immediately interpreted it as a necessary move to keep peace in the president's official family. Moley is known to have disagreed on matters of policy with his immediate superior, Secretary of. State Cordell Hull. The resignation led immediately to' a renewal oi persistent reports ithat Secretary of the Treasury William Wil-liam H. Woodin planned to resign. Woodin has been away from his office for weeks because of illness and the recent revelation that his name was on the "preferred customers cus-tomers list" of J. P.
