age, a sharp reduetion in allow-
able was expected when the Feb-
ruary proration order is issued
late this week. The commission,
contrary to its usual custom, did
not issue an order immediately
after the hearing, but with the
evidence of overproduteion in the
record, withheld action until the
quarterly meeting of the Oil
States Compact at Oklahoma City,
scheduled for Tuesday. The Tex-
as representatives, Rail Commis- 1
sion Chairman C. V. Terrell and
Commissioner Ernest O. Thomp- >
son, the latter chairman of the
compact body, thus went to Ok-
lahoma in an excellent “trading”
position, withholding action to re-
duce Texas oil production until
they had a chance to see what
other oil producing states would
do about a general put.

The trio held also was believed
implicated in the theft of an auto
at Jennings, La., and a filling
station robbery at liberty, Texas.
Night Watchman H. A. Fisher
made the arrests, he said, as loot
was being loaded into autos. Two
boys inside the store escaped
afoot after lowering themselves
from a second-story window by
means of a rope made from cur-

The loot recovered was valued
at about MfiOO.
Sheriff M.( M. Wren said the

WASHINGTON, Jan. 14. (AP).
The United States government
put additional pressure on Sov-
iet officials Thursday for an ex-
planation of the mysterious dh-
appea rance of Mrs. Ruth Marie
Rubens of New York in Moscow
last month.
Secretary Hull, who asked the
Soviet government for informa-
tion concerning Mrs. Rubens a
week ago, invited Soviet Am-
bassador Troyanovsky to visit
him.
The secretary of state asked
the ambassador to transmit to
his government a request for an
explanation as to the delay.
The state department later re-
ceived a dispatch from Rev. Hen-
derson, counselor of the Ameri-
can embassy in Moscow, saying
he had called at the foreign of-
fice in response to instructions
from Washington and had asked
for information of Mrs. Rubens.
Henderson said he was inform-
ed by the foreign office that, al-
ministry forbidding Jews to open though the matter had been re-
ferred to Soviet internal authori-
ties immediately upon the receipt
of the United States’ request of
January 7, the foreign office had
been unable to elicit any informa-
tion from them thus far. The for-
eign office promised to • request
that applications by Jews will be the internal authorities to expe-
of Brownsville. Lon Messer and re jected on principle.__________ i dite their reply. _____________
as announcements came thick and
fast. In Dallas, Claude Wester-
feld apparently will have strong
opposition, with Fred Harris and
Sam Hanna of the house, and
former Senator George Purl as
prospective opponents, Represen-
tative Penrose Metcalf of San
Angelo, will oppose Senator E. M
“Jeff” Davis of Brownwood,
Representative H. L. McKee of
Port Arthur will seek to replace
Senator Allan Shivers, his fel-
low townsman: and Representa-
tive George Moffett of Chilicothe
has told friends he will oppose
Senator Ben O’Neal of Wichita
Falls. Representative Chas. Ten-
nyson of Wichita Falls is also re-
| ported out for this senatorial seat.

Mr, Williams pointed out that
both the Land bank and the coin-

On invitation, Mr. Oswalt, the
