to further proceedings of the hear-
ing until the central proration com-
mittee should submit its reoomenda-
jJons for the new district as well xm
the other areas. ;; .
However, Robert R. Penn of Dal-
las. chairman of the central proraf
tlojt committee, said rite figures of
recommendr-d . allowable prmluctlon
would not lie ready ttotil this after-
noon or tomorrow. V. V. Terrell,
railroad commission chairman, held
thitt the prorntlonists miglit go
ahead with theiu testimony, offering
witnesnes to show the need of pro-
ration to prevent waste.

leading counsel for jhe east Texans

Penn was the flrst Witness. He
asked th^ rail road commission to «o
draft Its proration order • toht the
small wells would not have to lie
abandoned. I: yi: .
The prorhlln<n committee cltairmnn
admitted the railroad commission had
no authority to make rules to pre-
vent l<fiir prices. He stated, how-
evetl, he thought it pertinent to men-
lion that tens of thousands ..¿it small
wells would have to be ahajj^oucd
unless they were exempt from pro-
ration or unless the price became
higher. The abandonment of these
welts, which roaUe more "than 20 per
cent of the production of the United
States, would constitute a tremen-
dous waste, penn said.
More stringent restriction on flush
production is necessary to offset the
exemption óf small wells from pro-
ration, Penn said.
