AUSTIN, Nov. 9 (UP)—Result
of the state and national election
is counted upon to speed up pas-
sage of the “market demand” oil
production bill upon which the
state legislature resumed work to-
day.
The House had the bill before it
directly with a favorable commit-
tee report. The senate still had a
duplicate bill in committee.
Opponents of the bill have been
charging that it gave too much
power to oil intterests. Claude
Wilde, executive vice president of
the Independent Petroleum Asso-
ciation, said it was a stepping stone
to federal allocation of oil produc-
tion and standard oil domination.
Election of the Democratic nation-
al ticket is counted upon to offset
this fear of federal interference
with state rights. Defeat of Or-
ville Bullington, oil man, for Gov-
ernor, is also expected to lessen
opposition to the oil measure.

said today he would continue as
speaker of the House of the 72nd
Congress until March 4, date of
his inauguration. Garner was re-
elected to Congress from his home

Garner said he was undecided
as to when he would resign as
congressman-elect for the 73rd
Congress. He indicated he was
anxious for Democrats in the dis-

choose a nominee for the special
election to fill his vacancy, inas-

the place against perhaps one Re-
publican. i
