Austin, Dec^ 30 (UP) — Additional
nominations by prospective oil pur-
chasers injTexas, filed With the State
Railroad Commission, today raised
the call fqr oil from the whole state
to 841,000 barrels a day.
New nominations since yesterday
totaled 33,800' barrels but a number
are considered probable duplications.
An increase of 31,600 barrels in nom-
inations for oil from the East Texas
field w^s^noted. Of this 5000 is believ-
ed to be a duplication, leaving a net
increase of 26,000 for East Texas, and
making the total nominations for that
field 332,000 barrels daily.
Discovery that some of the summons
for enforced attendance of oil com-
pany officials at the hearing require
appearance Saturday made it likely
the commission would have to aban-
don its announced intention to end
the hearing today. The purpose of the
hearing is to issye a new oil order
for thie state before Jan: 1 when the
total shut-down order for East Texas
expires.

Bedias I In Louisiana. Long was accused of
discharging a teacher who wrote a
novel alleged to be detrimental to the
state.
Mitchell said there were 66 cases of
interference with academic freedom.
There were 17 in 1929, 27 in 1930, and
63 in 1931.
"Conditions are particularly acute
in the south ", he said. "Political and
religious prejudices menace freedom
and tenure.”
New York, Dec. 30 (UP) — Cotton
production in Mexico having been
found insufficient for needs, the gov-.,
ernment is permitted importation of
15,500,000 pounds of foreign staple at
one third the former import duty.
Some distress selling of cotton goods
is reported from Worth Street, but
volume is much less than expected
and prices are holding firm.
With the government giving all
kinds of assistance to the farmer, the
cotton trade is not looking for much
change in acreage for the coming
year.
Farmers in the south are still hold-
ing on to their cotton, a factor that
has done more than buying to hold
up cotton prices in recent session.
Growth of world supplies of cotton
which forced prices of the American
white staple last summer to the low-
est level on record is traced in the
fifth annual year book issued today
by the New York Cotton Exchange,
t Charts disclose that mills in the
Orient are operating actively, in com-
parison with the sharp curtailment
in mills of Europe and the United
States. •■ ,

Heavy Rains May
Bring River Up
—
Texarkana, Ark., Dec. 30 (UP) —
High -stages in Red River, that earl-
ier this week demolished the Texas
side approach to the privately owned
suspension bridge 22 miles north of
Clarksville on highway 37 to Idabel,
have been in recession since Wednes-
day but indicated, continued heavy
rains such as last night ars expected
to bring' additional high water with
probable further damage to the
bridge.
More than 50 feet of the approach
is gone and the ground piers have
crumpled, leaving the anchor cables
alone holding the bridge in place.
At Fulton, 12 miles north of Texar-
kana, the river stage this morning
was 22.6 feet two and four tenths be-
low flood, with flood water coming
out of a 23.1 foot stage in little river.
This stream is one and nine tenths
below flood stage and its volume add-
ed to Red river is expected to bring
still higher stages in this section. No
damage has been reported in this
area.

Rtlm bee. 30 (UP) — Prices of
M* four chief commodities are In-
deed more by world forces than
Mai conditions, is the belief of Dr
k. Buechel, assistant director of
iness Research at the University
►FORCES
JENCEON
COMMODITIES
^Business conditions of Texas, thru
gthese.qommoditles, cotton, wheat, live-
: Stock products, and oil, is interwoven
y-with international affairs, said Dr.
1 Puechel. ■
L-''Of the total national production
? in 1920", Dr. Buechel said, "55 per
•cent of cotton was exported; 35 per
■/epht of kerosene; 31 per cent of lubri-
'■ eating oils; K per cent of gasoline;
’ 33 per cent of lard and 18 per. cent of
wheat. . /
L "Consequently, it is of special im-
''portanoe that Texas farmers and busi-
ness men should arrive at sound judg-
ments as to the causes of the low
level of prices which has prevailed
L^for the past three years, particularly
since there is a growing belief the low
B price levels are closely associated with
g-jihe policy Of the United States on in-
^^■ptionai economic questions."
* The position which the United Stat-
K es has taken in the world, the rela
lively brief-spaced switch from a deb-
B tor to a creditor nation and its poli-
gjcies on intornational exchange and
to
tnance, are of prime importance
„’exas, Dr. Buechel believes.
A’ “A creditor nation should be
• trinsically fitted to be a buyer of pro-
j;*flUSts of other nations in order to per-
them not only to liquidate their
^Indebtedness but also to purchase
Mpaods and services from the creditor
he
- jjy’But the great problem of the
Jffibjted States is to find markets for
BMto’^ast output of raw materials such
St wheat, meat products, cotton, cop-
Kgfer, petroleum and other commodi-
^"Dislocation of interrtktional ex
^nynngea arising from the necessity of
ranaking payments in dollars to the
IM 3H irdtfiToT* W chief ■mF'
sjaributory causes of the present low
■ .toommodity price level,” Dr. Buechel
MVid, referring to Europe’s huge debt.
^".“Debtor countries therefore have re-
rabr|.eJ to their only recourse — cut-
“ ting their imports and speeding up
their exports of manufactured prod-
t ticts in effort to obtain a favorable
I balance of trade. A
St "As ah example of the length na-
ns have gone in their efforts to
,• attain self-sufficiency, Germany has
'Maced a duty of $1.62 per bushel and
Hnknce a duty of $1.74 a bushel on
Wheat, in consequence of which these
ountrles have become practically
elf-contained in regard to produc-
tion of this cereal.
'hwerage price of wheat to con-
>Mune?s in those countries last sum-
<mer was’ almost four times that in
Jtoe Uhited States. The populations of
l^base two countries find their living
|MBts enormously increased at a time
ttdy can least afford it.
HMKlto tbb other hand, our farming
^population is sinking Into the mire of
wverty through loss of outside mar-
Mts and .resulting low prices."
