(UPI Telephoto) Sources Vary on Whether Oil Industry Is Recovering By HENRY J. BECHTOLD UPI Financial Editor " New York - IUPII - The oil Industry is and it isn't pulling itself together. Whether it is or not de pends on what source you read. The value line invest ment s u rvey said the do m e stic price structure for crude oil ap- Hmry Bcchtold pears to be out of danger after tottering this spring on the edge of an across-the-board break. Repeated mark-ups in gaso line prices have carried them at last comfortab.y above a year ago, according to the sur vey. And Inventories of heat ing oil are by no means ex cessive, it added. The survey believes that the strenuous internal cost cutting campaign of the past two years, born of adversity, will boost profits as product prices improve. Favorable Earnings It also looks for favorable earnings comparisons for in tegrated oil companies in the year ahead and "probably for some time to come." The Chase Manhattan Bank doesn't see everything as rosy as the value line survey does, however. The bank said the over-all supply of new oil in July was In satisfactory alignment with demand, but added that "be neath the surface the results Bouquet for Bride do not appear quite so favor able." "In the face of a mounting wave of amazement, concern and indignation, both within and outside the industry, re finers in July persisted in operating their plants far in excess of needs," Chase said In its monthly review of the oil industry. Motive Baffling "Whatever their motive . . . it is baffling, because history has recorded often the un desirable consequence of such actions,", it said. I The bank also pointed out that gasoline demand thus far this year has averaged only slightly more than 1 per cent above the 1U5!) period, and the peak vacation, month of July brought only a 1.7 per cent rise. The season now is more than half over, the review said, and unless an nusually large number of families scheduled their vacations (or August, "third quarter gaso line demand could (all below expectations." Chase also said thai there could be a period ot weakness for fuel oils later in the year because of the current "bor rowing for the future" by secondary suppliers as a hedge against rising prices. Take Your Pick That's where the oil indus try stands today according to the two reviews. Take your pick. Meanwhile, the value line survey also look a peck at the international oil companies. Those firms face, at bcsl, a levelling off of non-U. S. earn ings which currently com prise 50 to 80 per cent of their total net income, it said. It pointed out that world crude oil prices are weaken ing as supplies outstrip de mand, and foreign govern ments are successfully press ing for a bigger share of the profits from oil. ' Canada, on the other hand, exempt from U.S. crude im port quotas, has been able to attempt a .continental rather than a national approach to regulation of her oil industry, according to value line. Yet,- it added, by the mid sixties, the Canadian govern ment probably will have been virtually forced to cover its own petroleum industry with a mantle of protection from low cost crude imports similar to that which the U.S. indus try now enjoys.

Today's article deals with social problems and their solution at the school level). Washington, D. C. - The "wooden shoe-windmill-tulip" type of social studies is not adequate for today's modern child who gets his informa tion, attitudes, and conduct signals from the far corners of the globe - and who may soon be getting them from outer space. According to spokesmen for the National Council for the Social Studies (NCSS), a de partment of the National Ed ucation association, social problems and their solutions, even if controversial, must be faced honestly at all levels in school. No Longer Tolerated "Sweetness and light - the glossing over of filth, disease, prejudice, starvation, death -can no longer be tolerated," problems, usually reserved for high school, at an earlier age. As he studies Hindu customs and folk art, he will also learn why millions of Hindus are starving, how this problem is being approached, ind how important its solution is to world peace. Schools will put more stress than ever before on grim reality. Educators also urge that your child learn more about the facts of economic life at a tender age, and continue to study them all through school. This economic learning would not be a new subject added to the already crowded curric ulum, but would develop nat urally from subjects already being taught. Here's how it would work: In history, as your child learns about the frugality of the Puritans, he would also be taught the principle of cap ital formation.

For your child, these issues will be very personal and practical ones: What career will have the best long-range future for him . . . Whether volve matters of national im portance on which he must help make decisions. A parent can help spark a child's interest in social stud ies with these tips froln teach ers: If you're a faithful follow er of news broadcasts and an inveterate reader of news papers and news magazines, he'll get the idea you think it is wiser to spend his money it's important to keep up with current affairs. Discuss, news at the dinner table, giving him opportunity to express his views. Discuss local candi dates for public office, too, and the issues and problems of your community. Close for Use Keep an atlas, almanac, dic tionary, globe, and encyclo pedia conveniently close to the TV set for use during news and documentary programs, or simply to settle arguments. "Let's look it up" should be one of the most common phrases around your house. Help him to judge each per son individually rather than by race, creed, or color by curbing your own unthinking remarks about others. Dr. Harold Drummond of George Pea body college, I learn the conflict between cm-1 Nashville, said at a recent NCSS meeting. And a book published by the same organization fore casts profound changes in the teaching of social studies in the next 20 years. The book suggests that in addition to the present heavy history ba sis for social studies, more em phasis, will be placed on the social sciences and economics in an attempt to contribute to the student's understanding of . .e contemporary world. This may mean that he will start, studying serious social pahis on economic growth and political freedom. ; He would learn how politi-' cal expediency affects policies on world trade. In geography, he would dis cover that peoples, depending on their culture, develop dif ferent institutions and eco nomic systems, through which they produce and distribute goods and services.
