FINISHED AT MEETING
1 WITH COMMITTEE
IN AUSTIN
AUSTtN. May 4. </T) — 'Ilie oil
stfes advisory committee tonight
completed a proposed interstate
conservation pact designed to sta-
bilize the petroleum industry.
The pact would be submitted to
the legislatures of the various oil
producing states. It would become
! effective wlfcn ratified by Texas
and Oklahoma, two of the biggest
producers.
1 Details of the proposed pact were
explained a short time later to le<r-
islative conunittecs of Arkansas and
Texas, in sessions here. The session
will l>e resumed tomorrow.
The pact embodied a uniform
conservation law for all oil states.

various states, with llowers largely
advisory rather than actual.
A sub-committee comixxsed of
Cicero I. Murray of Oklahoma. City,
chairman of the committee, and
Warwick M. Downing of Denver
did most of the work on the pro-
iwscd agreement. Members of the
committee stated they hoped it
would bring about equitable prora-
tion among all the oil states and
hold the oil supply within the de-
mand. They pointed out that it was
in the interest of oil and gas conser-
vation to maintain a fair price be-
cause otherwise many wells would
have to ba abandoned. Nine states
were represented at the sc.'f;lons
here, which continued tonight.

EIGHT PIANOS
W I
T
U. S. ARMY GIVES THE HIGH SIGN
AFTER BUTTLE
BEAUTIFUL ENSEMBLE
OPENS PROGRAM
OF MUSIC
i By ARCHER FULLINGIM
Eight pianos sounded as: one last
night under the meticulous baton
of Mrs. May Foreman Carr through-
out three ineffably beautiful over-
tures—Mendelssohn's "Ruy Bias",
Rossini's to "William Tell" and
nolidleux' to "The Calif of Bag-
dad".
The ensemble of Paniim pianists
opened music wefk in the city
auditorium. It was Mte first time
sixteen pianists playing at oncc
were ever heard In Pampa, or ui
the Panhandle for that matter. The
overtures would have been spoiled
if there had not been perfect time,
and only oncc or twice was there
a splash of unrythmical chords or
notes.
Tlie ensemble was so good that
the 30-minute number, "Pan, On a
Summer Day", sung by the Wes*.
Texas State Teachers college Wo
men's glee club, seemed as a side
dish compared with the tour dc
force of the "Ruy Bias". The girls
harmonized well; tlieir voiccs were
average—the tones were pastel
shades, no positive colors. They dis-
regarded accent, but tliey did create
a pleasant pn.stel world with their
pleasant pastel voices. Miss Ada V.
Clark directed them.
Mrs. Thelma Barnes Perkins
created the interpretative mood and
established the personality of the
"Ruy Bias" overture hi a sensitive,
dominant manner. She has a. com-
pelling piano. Mrs. Adele Adams
at the other solo piano played not
:;o strongly but with understanding
and great bent,v. Mrs. Ca.rr's piano
pealed the William Tell overture in
the grand manner. Her fingers
know the stress or the Ineffable.
Pianists in the ensembles includ-
ed Mrs. Ramon Wilson, Mrs. Per-
kins. Miss Madeline Tarpley, Miss
Iva June Willis, Sirs. Nina McSkiin-
ming. Mi*. Tom Brabham. Miss
Louie Barton, Miss Margaret Harris,
Mrs. Adams, Mrs. Carr, Mrs. L. M.
Batton, Miss Danhna Lunsford, Miss
Dorothy Schilling, Mrs;. Louise
Smith, Miss Elolse Lane, Miss Mai y
Ellen Cary, Everett Buckingham,
Emmctt Smith.
The auditorium was fairly well
filled, but it should luwe. been
packed. The pianists' performance
was an event.

Strict precautions were taken to-

to shoot the blazing Sinclair No. '
Cole well near Gladewater with

that have raged since last Tuesday.
Texas rangers and special officers

played on him from hose in the
hands of workers, and hooked steel
cable to the separator, elevators and
other pieces of sti.vl that had to be
pulled out. to remove danger of the
well igniting anew from hot metal
after the l>li«e was rut away with

heads together at intervals as they
rehearsed the minute details of the
blast to lie undertaken tomorrow.
Plans were to set off the nitro-
glycerin soon after daylight, in
order to permit a, long period of
daytime In which to attempt to cap
the flowing oil. It was while work
men were seeking to bring the well
under control last Tuesday that the.
fatal explosion occurred which start-
ed the fire.

TEST FLIGHTS
DELAY TAKING OFF FOR
TRANSATLANTIC HOP
TO BRAZIL
BERLIN. May 4. (/I*; A jeries of
test flights, to be made, under tropi-
cal flyins conditions near the equa-
tor, will determine whether the giant
nir liner DO-X will attempt a. Trans ■
Atlantic flight, from Bolama, Portu-
gese Guinea, to Brazil, according to
information received from the DO-
X conuuaiKlcr today.
The commander, Capt. Fricdrich
Christiansen, today sent word to the
officials of the Dornlcr company he
had landed at Bolama at 3 o'clock
(1 a.m., E. S. T.i yesterday after-
noon.
The message said the trip from
Villa Cisncros, in Spanish Rio Ji
Oro, about 050 mllc;( wins made
without incident. It was the long-
est flight yet attempted by the
DO-X, lint only hall the distance
which would have to be flown o"
the Trans-Atlantic hop from Bolama
to Pcrnambuca, Brazil.
Officials of the Dornlcr company
said they were unable to predict
whether, if the flight to Brazil is
decided upon, it will be a non-stop
flight or whether arrangements will
be made for refueling at a ta.nk
ship in mid-ocean.
It was pointed out that the tropi-
cal heat sometimes reduces the
plane's carrying capacity at the
moment of a take-off. Officials
said they had full confidence In the
commander and that he would give
up tlic flight rather than endanger
the lives of his comrades.
