How will the petroleum industry weather the "adjustment" being widely pre dicted for the economy in 1958? Better than most major inlus tries, say economists, because unlike most, petroleum's two most important products are fairly well insulated from the effects of modern business ad justment. Adjustment or no adjustment you'll use your car just about as much as ever, and the house and office probably will stay heated. What's happened in the past? The Chase Manhattan bank re ports that in the recession years of 1949 and 1954 the strength of gasoline and heating fuel de mand helped overall demand for petroleum show a gain. Domestic consumption in 1949 was 0.5 per cent greater than in 1943, according to the bank. Had the winter weather been normally cold there would have been a gain of about 2 per cent. For 1954 the Chase reported an actual increase of 2 per cent over 1953 that would have been only about 1 per cent if weather had been normal. The Chase, along with other industry observers, warns that the industry can weather an eco nomic adjustment best if it has its house in order or inventories in normal position. Both the 1949 and 1954 ad justment periods were entered Obituaries ENOS GROVES Funeral services for Enos Groves, 55, of 305 Beatty st., who died Thursday, will be held at Conger-Morris Funeral home Thursday at 1:30 p.m. The Rev.

Taxpayer Appeal Method Revised Salem OP The State Tax Commission today adopted a revised "conference" method of settling income taxpayer ap peals. Commission Chairman S. W.

Neuberger Appeals To Coos Clergy in Behalf of Chapman Portland OP Sen. Richard L. Neuberger (D-Ore.), today ap pealed to the clergymen of Coos and Curry counties to use "mor al persuasion" on Republican leaders of the state Senate to withdraw a Republican name from rollcall votes so that Dem ocratic Sen. R. F. Chapman need not attend to preserve the 15-15 voting balance. Sen. Chapman suffered a heart attack last week but his physi cian said he may still be able to attend the special session con vening next Monday if he con tinues his satisfactory progress. 'Shocked and Disturbed' Neuberger told a gathering of Southern Pacific employees at the Brooklyn yards here today that he was "shocked and dis turbed" to hear that a man suf fering from a heart attack may have to attend the special ses sion in order to maintain a vot ing balance between the parties. "This confirms my long-standing fear," Neuberger said, "that politics in Oregon often seem to have become about as brutal and barbaric as anywhere north of the Mason and Dixon line." The Senator suggested that Republicans in the state Senate, "if they place human life and health above narrow partisan political advantage," will desig nate one of their own members to "pair" or refrain from voting on all crucial issues, so that Sen. Chapman need not risk his health in order to fill his seat in the Senate chamber. 1958 Milk Production Expected To Be Up Washington IIP) The Agri culture Department said today milk production on farms in 1958 is likely to be one to two billion pounds greater than the 127 billion pounds in prospect for 1957.
