Neither the President nor Secretary Hull said in so many words that they were a fraud. They echoed familiar and fre quent public utterances of Francophile Bill Bullitt. On the sore point, the declaration that the U. S. would eventually go to war, they did not indicate that Mr. Bullitt had said much if anything more than most U.

Stockholder Rich told Barnsdall Refining's President Oscar L. Cordell and Barnsdall Oil's President E. B. Reeser what he thought of the deal. They talked back. They pointed out that SEC had told Barnsdall Oil to consider the refinery a subsidiary and absorb its losses or divorce it altogether. Divorce would have meant bankruptcy. They showed him the refinery's books and properties. Last year Barnsdall...
