OIL PRORATION HEARING
AT AUSTIN ENDS
Austin, Aug. 28.—The railroad
commission at 4 p. m. today finished
hearing on the East Texas oil field.
R. D. Parker, chief of the oil and gas
division of the railroad commission,
said he believed it likely the order
of the commission regulating produc-
tion of oil and gas in the field would
be issued late tomorrow, to go into
effect next Tuesday.
Members of the commission said
conferences on the new order govern-
ing production in the field would be
started immediately.
Field men of the commission have
been called in to participate in the
conferences on the new order.
The commission today had receiv-
ed another recommendation for allow-
able production. C. V. Milliken, geol-
ogist of the Amerada Petroleum Cor-
poration recommended that produc-
tion be limited to 225,000 barrels
daily. Milliken said this figure would
maintain reservoir pressure and dou-
ble ultimate recovery of oil from the
field.
Objection to questions dealing with
economic waste was made when Milli-
ken was asked by U. M. Simon, Fort
Worth attorney, if it would not be
more expensive to spread the recov-
ery from the field over a number of
years than to recover the oil in a
short time. The commission sustain-
ed the objection to the questions. The
new conservation statute specifically
prohibits consideration by the com-
mission of anything except physical
waste.
The commission will have a wide
range of allowables to choose from,
the recommendations ranging from
225,000 to 600,000. Generally accept-
ed figures placed the production of
the field immediately prior to maifdal
law shut down at between 750,000 arid
800,000, with some estimates as high
as 1,400,000 barrels daily.
The consensus of opinion among oil
men at the hearing was that the com-
mission would provide for an allow-
able of between 225,000 and 275,000
barrels.
It also was believed likely the or-
der of the commission would be sub-
stituted by Governor R. S. Sterling
for his martial law proclamation pro-
viding for complete shut down of the
field and national guardsmen would
be used to aid the commission to en-
force its regulations.
Martial law must be lifted or modi-
fied before the order can be placed
in operation.

“BUT I remember some of the things
that I heard when I was younger. j
“I Was told to watch out for one of those so-
called friends who is so mighty glad to see you
today—almost going to hug you; and the next
time you see her, is holding her head high up
in the air and won’t even speak to you.
“I was thinking about this while I was enjoy-
ing a CHESTERFIELD cigarette. You know,
I have been smoking CHESTERFIELDS quite
a long time, and they are not like some of our
friends—one thing today and another thing
tomorrow*' They are always the same—always
mild—always so pleasing in taste. They just
satisfy all the time.
“By the way*, that reminds me of something.
I was playing bridge recently with a girl friend
of mine and two men, and after we finished the
game they began lambasting a whole lot of
things and folks. Some of the talk was right
funny, you couldn’t help laughing; but, really,
they pulled down a whole lot of things, and
didn’t build up anything.
“And that reminded me of a salesman who
called to see me the other day to tell me some-
thing about CHESTERFIELD. The thing that
pleased me more than anything else was that he
didn’t lambast and cuss out any other cigarette;
but, of course, he thought that CHESTER-
FIELD was the best... And I rather agree with
him. They do satisfy.”
