There will be no more leases of oil bearing public domain lands, nor will these properties be disposed of in any other way. They mm a. are to remain nnaer xne uireci jurisdiction of the government with the oil conserved in the ground. To' put this new policy Into ef fact, orders were issued nromntlv Tib prohibit the granting of any more permits for oil prospecting on the public domain, thus strlk lng at the source of the problem, for only, after permits have been issued can leases be granted. Moreover, all of the 20,000 out standing' permits are to be In vestigated by a committee and those that have become Inactive are to be revoked. House, Senate Land Decision ' -- Mr. Hoover's pronouncement which came in answer to the Ques tions of newspaper correspon dents, received much praise from members of the house and senate. together with some criticism. Sen ator Walsh, - democrat, Montana, objected on the ground that tne new policy would hinder the de velopment of that state which In eludes a large acreage of the pub lic domain. Later Mr. Hoover, himself, said that the people of the western states were behind him because they realized that there Is a limit to oil supplies and that conservation is necessary. The second problem which the chief executive met was that of the publication of tax refunds. By executive order, he decreed that refunds, credits or abatements of income, war profits, excess prof its, estate and gift taxes in excess of 120,000 should be open to pub lic inspection. Mellon Changes former Stand Aboat Secrecy Around this Question had re volved a protracted congressional controversy. Mr. Hoover acted upon the recommendation of Sec retary Mellon. His executive or der provided that the commission er of Internal revenue should pre pare a written decision on every case coming within the Scope of the document which' should be considered a matter of public rec ord and should be open to the in spection of all. During the week. Mr. Hoover gave consideration to the ques tion 'of, filling vacancies in the government personnel. He an- polnted Ernest Lee Jahncke. Nw Orleans ship builder, assistant sec retary of the navy, Patric J. Hur ley of Tulsa, Okla.'. who served with distinction In the worth war, assistant secretary of war. and named Representative Walter Newton of .Minnesota his admin istrative assistant with the title of secretary. Newton has served in the house for ten years. In his new position he will act as a liaison officer be tween the president and the inde pendent government agencies and bureaus and in addition he will cooperate with the members of Mr. Hoover's cabinet in' drawing np a plan for the reorganization of governmental organization.
