For May 31st
Washington, Feb. 26-The
plans for holding a national mar-
keting quota referendum amons
wheat growers of the United
States on May 31 have been giv„n
approval by Secretary of Agricul-
ture Claude A. Wickard, it li?s
been announced by the Agricul-
tural Adjustment Administration
today. Although the marketing
quota determination will rot be
made until a later date, present
estimates indicate that the 1941-
1042 supply of wheat will he con-
siderably in excess of the prob-
able marketing quota If:re1. This
will be the first national market-
ing quota for wheat.
Under the marketing quota pro-
visions of the act, a marketing
quota proclamation is mandatory
whenever it appears, by May 1 5,
that the total supply of wheat for
the next marketing year will ex-
ceed a normal year's domestic
consumption by more cha:i 35 per
cent.
The 1941 winter wheat crop
was estimated in the December
crop report at 633,000,000 bu-
shels. The current estimate for
boarded an interurban this morn-
ing at 8 o'clock for the Dallas in-
duction center.
The group reported at the draft
board office in the postoffie-e
building here at 7 o'clock and

papers to be turned over to the
induction center officers. A rigid
physical examination will be given
at the center and assignments to

Testimony In
Bribery Charges
OKLmiOMA CITY, Feb. 26—
A special house committee inves-
tigating bribery charges in connec-
tion with the small loans bill today
beard its two chief witnesses, El-
mer T. Peterson. Oklahoma City
newpaper writer and John A.
Johnson, attorney, testify they
had no knowledge of any payoffs
to legislators for their votes on
the proposed measure.
The hearing, attended by only
a dozen persons, lasted less than
an hour. The testimony by John-
son and Peterson was expected to
close the investigation.
Johnson, a member of the Ok-
lahoma City junior bar, who Pet-
erson named as his informant for
newspaper charges hinting at leg-
islative payoffs in connection with
the loan bill, said apparently the
writer had been the victim of a
mistaken impression.

D'UHjA|NT, Ok., Feb. 26—Sin-

000 first annual oil nnd gas leasa
rental payments in Bryan county
last week started an avalanche of
payments by a score or more ma-
jor oil compnies which took leases
here last spring.
Since Sinclair's first batch of
checks for payment of rentals on
its Roberta block, checks have
been flowing into the two local
banks in a steady stream to pay
first rent installments on acreage
taken by a large number of oil
Companies and individuals last
year.
Most companies are paying their
rentals a month or more in ad-
Vance of the date due.
Among the companies making
oil and gas lease rental payments
this week are Devonian, Skelly,
(Deep Rock, Phillips Petroleum,
Anderson - Prithcard, Amerada,
Standollnd, Gulf, Sinclair Prairie
on its spread outside the Penning-
ton nnd Roberta blocks, and a
large number of individuals.
With approximately 100,000
acres taken in leases since March,

—British forces captured Mogad-
iocio, important port of Italian
Somaliland, while German and
British forces were said to have
met for the first time in Africa.
100 miles .south of Bengasi.
The British units moved up the
Italian Somaliland coast more than
200 miles in three .days to take
Mogadiscio in one of the swiftest
war campaigns in modern history,
even faster than the British move-
ments at times in Libya.
Rome did not admit the fall of
Mogadiscio, most important Ital-
ian city in Africa south of Mas-
aim, Eritrea, but it was some
time before they admitted any
losses in Libya or Eritrea. Mogad-
iscio has a normal population of
about .">0,000.
Rome and Berlin simultaneous-
ly claimed Nazi forces clashed
Monday morning with (British
troops for the first time in Libya,
ruth of Bengasi, with much Brit-
i-h army property destroyed and
prisoners taken. London said
othing on the axis claims.
I: rlin claimed German planes
have .-truck at the British-held
' oi-t of Tobruk where several
ritish warships are anchored.
But the Nazis did not claim the
■ hips had been hit.
M"anwhile, London admitted its
campaign in Eritrea had -been
slowed down, but still believed the
important city of Kerens would
• mi fall. Rome claimed heavy
