SEMITE BILL
TO STRENGTHEN
OIL PRORAT ON
Measure Would Penalize
Overproduced Oil; Prohibit
Its Being Handled
: By United Press.
AUSTIN, March 16.—By unan-
2 imous consent, a bill was intro-
* duced In the Senate today to
strengthen oil proration enforce-
ment in Texas,
The measure. Introduced by
Senator Walter Woodul, would
place a penalty of 50 cents a bar-
rel on overproduced oil and pro-
hibit pipe line companies, loading
racks and refineries from hand-
ling illegally produced oil.
Failure to make affidavits con-
cerning the amount and origin of
the oil would be punishable by
from two to five years' imprison-
ment.
The Senate kept alive a bill
placing restrictions on title guar-
anty companies, by ordering it
printed on minority report. It
• was presented by Senator T. J.
Holbrook;
Senator George Purl declared
the sole purpose of the bill was to
drive one concern out of the state
bv "legislating" it out instead of
going thru the courts, if the com-
pany was not abiding by its char-
ter.
Woodul also introduced a meas-
- ure requiring contractors on pub-
lic works to state in the contract
the minimum wage they will pay
workers.
House Receives Proration Report.
The Texas House of Repre-
sentatives today received both
majority and minority reports on
a seven-week Investigation of at-
tempts to enforce oil proration.
The House oil committee last
night by a vote of » to 5 adopted
. the report submitted the night be-
1 fore by its steering committee se-
verely criticizing the State Rail-
road Commission and its prora-
tion forces in the East Texas oil
field. The minority report blames
failure of proration on Injunc-
tions. It takes issue with conclu-
sions of the majority report that
men of insufficient experience!
were used and that men had been I
hired for political purposes It
says the testimony did not show
neglect of duty for politics.
With the two reports will go
1800 pages of testimony tran-
scribed during the hearings.
Pew and Ames To
Be at Hearing
• Leaders of the nation's oil in-
dustry. captained by President
C. B. Ames of the American Pe-
troleum Institute, and President
J. Edgar Pew of the Sun Oil
Company, will appear before the
Texas House of Representatives
at Austin tonight to discus* con-
ditions in the industry.
They are expected to outline
frankly the reasons for the de-
cline In oil prices to less than
50 per cent of those which ob-
tained for a time last fall and
early winter, and possibly to
point the finger of blame at
those they believe responsible.
They have been conferring
here for the past three days
with associations representing the
major Texas oil fields, but price
discussion was barred.
The conferences and the meet-
ing with the House should have
a very good effect, according to
C. F. Roeser, president of the
Texas Oil & Gas Conservation
Association, one of those par-
ticipating.
, "We believe the responsible
heads of the big oil companies
: are learning field conditions in
• a way that can not but help the!
Industry,” he said.
"They have convinced us that
causes for past complaint against
many of the big companies are
gone forever."

TWO ROBBERS HERMAN MARX’
Br United Press.
AUSTIN, March 18.—Having
voted down a proposal to recess
Saturday until May 7, the House
continued today in its effort to
get thru the 821 bills it has re-
ceived.
The proposal to recess and
thus declare a "moratorium on
moratoriums" was made after
passage of a bill calling for a
moratorium of 120 days on real
estate foreclosures. * s
Friday at 10 a. m. was set for
consideration of the bill by Rep-
resentative Sarah Hughes, Dallas,
setting up a method for action on
ratification or rejection of the
federal amendment to repeal na-
tional prohibition.
Under it 23 delegates running
as ratification and anti-ratifica-
tion tickets would be chosen at
the state general election, Nov. 6.
1934.
A bill giving purchasers of
state school land 20 years at four
per cent in which to pay the half
of oil bonuses, which the Supreme
Court has decided belongs to the
state, was engrossed. It lacked
two votes for final House pas-
sage.
The Senate committee on gov-
ernor's nominations voted favor-
ably reports on confirmation of
the following:
J. K. Brim, Sulphur Springs;
Mrs. Doak Roberts, Dallas and
Mrs. J. M. Loving, Austin, for the
College of Industrial Arts board.

The bandits broke into seven
offices on the fifth floor of the
Moore Building, 11th and Main
Streets. They took 80 quarter-
grain morphine tablets from the
office of Dr. J B. Cummings
and $90 in cash and 1110 in
checks from the Yeoman Insur-
ance Company.
The two men held guns on Jim
Waggoner, elevator operator, and
Ernest Frazier, Janitor. The ne-
groes were taken to the fifth
floor when the bandits trussed
them up with their belts and
locked them in a supply closet.
The bandits returned an hour
later, untied the negroes and
warned them not to leave the
closet for 15 minutes. They then
fled down the stairs.
In another robbery, the deaf-
ness of R. L. Carr, 70, filling sta-
tion operator at Magnolia and
Evans Avenue, saved his money
but almost cost him his life at
8:45 p. m.
A 17-year-old negro boy walked

to "stick 'em up." Mr. Carr did
not understand the command and
walked out of his office to see
what the boy wanted. The negro

for Fort Worth gold hoarders.
The names of those who with-
drew gold from banks
February 1 and the bank holiday
and have not then returned It,
must be reported to the Federal
Reserve Bank in Dallas, which
will in turn transmit them to the
Treasury in Washington.
Locaol bankers point out that
hoarding under the new banking
law passed at President Roose-
velt's request is punishable by a
stiff fine or a penitentiary sen-
tence.
Not knowing whether Uncle
Sam will exact the full penalty,
they still feel that it would be
safest for those holding monetary
gold to return It to the banks be-
fore the deadline.
A steady flow of gold into the
banks continued today.
$60,000 At First National.
The First National reported It
had received about 160,000 since
the bank holiday. One big chunk
came from one man. The largest
single amount received at the
Stockyards National was $1,800.
Other banks received varying
amounts.
All the gold and gold certif-
icates are sent by the local banks
to the Federal Reserve Bank at
Dallas, there to be held as part
of the nation's gold reserve.
A steady flow of outside busi-
ness — particularly from West
Texas—was reported with the re-
opening yesterday of banks in
citie* which do not have clear-
ing house associations. Virtually
all banks In Texas are open, it
was said.
Hospital heads from Fort
Worth will bring up the subject
to get the views of superintend-
ents from other cities.
Miss Allee Taylor, of All Saints
Hospital, will head the delegation
from Fort Worth. She is associa-
tion president, and will preside.
H. L. Rarher, Harris Hospital |
business manager and association
director, also is slated to appear
on the program.
Dr. T. C. Terrell of Methodist
Hospital and Dr. Harold Johnson
of Baptist Hospital also plan to
attend.
