Measure
Not Likely
i^je Reopened At '
try, 1939, Session
."" WASrtlNGTON — (UP —
President Roosevelt last week
'ered his bitterest defeat of
session when a powerful
republican-insurgent de-
mocrat coalition killed the gov-
ernment reorganization bill by
Jgsnding it back to committee.
jfi It was the most stunning
blow dealt the administration
nee the president's supreme
urt enlargement plan was
defeated last year. The vote on
Recommittal was 204 to 196.
% It came shortly after admin-
istration forces, giving way to
Remands for compromise, ap-
peared to be on the brink of
gassing the controversial bill
which was assailed by foes as
dictatorial.
i. It was considered a personal
feat for Mr. Roosevelt who
tad thrown the full prestige of
Ms office behind the bill, and
publicly disavowed any aspira-
tions to become an American
cjictator in reply to the meas-
aure's opponents.
House In Uproar
* As the vote was announced
the house was thrown into an
Uproar. Members flung their
y
arms around each others
shoulders and the packed gal-
leries hooted, stamped their
feet and yelled.
The defeat for the administra-
tion recalled house action last
fall when it voted to recommit
the bitterly-contested wages-
and-hours bill.
The leadership made an at-
tempt to have the house re-
consider the vote but was howl-
ed down. Chairman .lohn J. O'-
Connor, D., N. Y.. of the house
rules committee and leader
of the opposition, then object-
ed to having any absent mem-
bers insert in the record how
they would have voted "had
they been present."
The opposition's surprising
show of strength came on the
heels of a stirring appeal by
Majority Leader Sam Rayburn,
D.. Tex., who asked his col-
leagues to give the president
"a vote of confidence" by pas-
sing the measure.
Appeal Of liankltead
Another appeal was made by
Speaker William B. Bankhead,
D., Ala., who said that "say
what you please, this bill has
been jockeyed into a position
where a vote to recommit is a
repudiation of confidence in the
president and the democratic
party."
Both leaders had taken the
floor in a final effort to mar-
| shal administration strength in
| what at first appeared to be cer-
i tain victory after they had de-
j feated an opposition attempt to
strike out a provision which
would have given the president

er. It had a triangular sign on
the door. It was carrying con-
siderable luggage, and the cou-
ple acted suspicious."
He said witnesses included a
policeman and a state liquor
control board employe.
"1 think we are on the right
trail at last," said Sheriff Chris
Fox of El Paso.
Officers in Sonora, north of
Del Rio, reported an incident
Friday which may connect with
the new phase of the search.
A blond woman, carrying a
pistol and four pieces of bag-
gage. drove into Sonora from
the south. Her car stalled, and
she took a bus to San Antonio,
abandoning the car but taking
the luggage and the pistol.
control over the "watchdog of
the treasury"—the comptroller
general.
The house's action killed all
possibility of the bill's recon-
sideration this session. Oppon-
ents pointed out that it was
very unlikely that the adminis-
tration would attempt to re-
vive it at the next session in
January, 1939, because its en-
actment would then come too
late to give the president suf-
ficient time to effect reorgani-
zation.
Soap that may be used on
any part of the body without
irritation to the skin is known
as a "neutral" soap.
Re-Elected Council
Men To Be Sworn In
B. N. Roberts and L. L. Ar-
mor, city commissioners re-
elected in the city balloting
Tuesday, will renew their oath
of office at the regular meet-
ing of the board Monday night
at 7 o'clock. Elected for two
years, they will serve again
with Mavor Luther M. Watson,

snow at such terrific force that
it was almost impossible to walk
against it. said Mr. Chambers.^
He said he left Childress this
morning and that drifts at least
25-feet deep still flanked the
highway. Many cars were stall-
ed in huge snowdrifts.
WHEAT NOT HURT
OX THE DIVIDE
J. R. Payne, Nolan county
commissioner, in town Saturday
from his home in Divide, be-
lieves that the grain in that
section of the county was not
injured by the freeze.
Fruit, gardens and flowers
were destroyed by the severe
weather, though the heavy
snow, estimated at five inches
protected the wheat and bar-
ley. Drifts were three feet
deep in several lanes traver-
sing the community, and in
several communities roads
were impassable until Saturday
morning, he said.

Area Oil—
(Continued from page 1)
gotiations were held up a week
due to minor contract, changes,
but are reported being ironed
out in conferences in Sweetwat-
water Saturday and in Roby
Sunday.
A test farther north and west
that will be watched with keen
interest is the Forest Develop-
ment company's No. 1 T. G. Ben-
nett, located in section 51, block
3, H&TC survey. Daube Bros,
of Ardmore, Okla., are reported
moving in tools to drill this
well under contract from Forest.
It is a rotary test of 4,500 feet,
according to reports.
importance is attached to this
test because it. may indicate the
trend of the Rotan field south-
ward. The Forest company has
drilled two dry holes to the
west and north of Bennett No.
1. and from these holes eon-
I ducted extensive core drilling,
locating a structure. The Ben-
I nett test is on the crest of this
formation. Should it make a
well, oil men are inclined to
the opinion that the Rotan field
[ may extend into the southern
half of Fisher county, probably
to the west and south.
Significant reports also in-
clude the States Oil company of
Eastland, a firm that has ac-
| quired extensive acreage in the
i southern part of the county. It
is reported from reliable sources
that the States company consid-
l ers three tests on its holdings
during 1938. No definite loca-
tions have been staked, it was
said.
Two major lease transfers also
are reported under negotiation,
prospective purchasers being
well known and substantial
companies.
Southeast Test Planned
It also is reported that nego-
tiations are being completed for
a test in the extreme southeast
part of Fisher county, on a
block of 3,600 acres assembled
by Form way and Allen for
Frank Oyster and others of Abi-
lene. This proposed well con-
templates a depth of 3,200 feet, to
include the Noodle Creek and
Fisher pay formations.
Bond Oil corporation encoun-
tered a little difficulty in cem-
enting the Bertram No. 1 near
Sylvester this week, arid did
not get ready to acidize as an-
ticipated. They are cementing
the hole at 3,200 feet, and will
give the well acid treatment at
3,181-3,18-1 feet, where a show-
ing was encountered while the
well was being drilled to the
contract depth of 3,GOO feet. It. is
reported that a deep test, pos-
sibly 0,000 feet, may be made
of this well should the acid
treatment fail.
Titles are being examined on
a tract of 370 acres being leas-
ed by Dr. .1. D. Davis of Roby
to R. G. Ponder of Lubboik.
This deal- is being handled by
R. E. Sikes of Eastland, who
handled a large portion of the
recent transfers in Fisher
county. This acreage adjoins
the Roby city limits to the
south. Porter is a lease brok-
er.
