Admiral Viacount Saito
Because Admiral Viscount Makoto
I Saito, premier of Japan, stood up
at the wrong moment during Em-
peror Hirohito’s recent New
Year’s banquet in Tokio, he is re-
ported to have offered his resig-
nation. Although the resignation
was not accepted, opposition par-
ties in the diet are said to be ready
to overthrow the ministry. The
faux pas, therefore, which would
be considered merely an inad-
vertent slip in any other country,
may lead to the end of Premier
Saito's political career, despite the
fact he immediately apologized to
the emperor who'promptly forgot
about it. The emperor had left
his speech at home. Nobody knew
why there was a strained silence.
During the embarrassing interim,
the premier stood up to see what
was wrong.

(AN EDITORIAL)
The News-Herald has purposely withheld the past week
any comment on the removal of the Railroad Commission
headquarters from Henderson since conversations with Mr.
Pierson, Chief of the East Texas Forces, the first part of the
week revealed that nothing would be done about the removal
until Henderson had an opportunity to be heard .. . The prom-
ise was made but this opportunity has not been given yet.
x Commissioner Terrell was in Henderson Friday of this week.
'"The entire commission has been in Tyler this week on another
of its oil hearings, or rather another installment of the con-
tinued hearing . . . From all reports received so far, it is evi-
dent that the Commission will move its forces to Kilgore. This
may seem rather peculiar to many of our readers. The News-
Herald has contended all along that there was no logical rea-
son for the Oil Theft Bureau, which employs almost seventy
five men, to be located in Tyler. There is where the whole
rub has been. When the Theft Bureau was located In Tyler
we challenged the act. We believed then and feel more confi-
dent now that the move was a political one since there is r.o
logical reason whatever that would justify this act on the
part of the commission . . . The whole proposition now is be-
ginning to blossom out in real intent .. . Henderson had the
headquarters of the Commission, located here so far as we
are informed because Henderson was the most central point,
everything taken into consideration. Fifty per cent of the oil
wells being located in Rusk County, it is evident that all of
the record work being of necessity in the county site, there-
by making it more convenient for the offices to be located in
the city where the greater portion of records are found, Hen-
derson was then the logical city for the headquarters . . . We
wonder why the change. We wonder why, if Henderson was
then the logical place for the headquarters at first, why is it
not now ...
Later the Oil Theft Bureau was established, there is
where the story really begins. This bureau, for reasons we
don’t know, and so far as we are able to learn, no citizen in
this county knows, was located in Tyler in Smith County, in
a county where fewer than twenty per cent of the oil wells in
the East Texas field are located . . . Everything went along,
we couldn’t understand then why it was thus, but said nothing
until tho picture began to be revealed more definitely. The
lines became more marked. When after several months it
was announced in the Tyler paper that Mr. Homer% Pierson
)iad been named chief of the entire East Texas forces, which
act virtually made Tyler headquarters of the commission in
East Texas . . . Most probably this was the way the picture
was to work out all along .. . Then an agitation against such
a move was started by the Daily News and Morning Herald
and it has flared up and died down several different and dis-
tinct times since first started. It would flare up and then on
advice or rather promises from Commissioner Lon Smith
that Henderson’s interests were being taken care of and that
no intention was entertained by the commission to move 1
headquarters from Henderson, the agitation would die down.
Then the matter would break out in another place, and again
the agitation would flare up again, only to be soothed by a let-
ter from Commissioner Thompson, or another promise from
Mr. Smith ., . Early this week, Mr. Pierson assured Chamber
of Commerce’Manager Merle Gruver that he would arrange a
hearing for a Henderson committee with the entire commis-
sion when that body reached Tyler later in the week for the
oil hearing. Mr. Gruver was assured that no definite action
would be taken regarding the removal of the headquarters un-
til this committee representing Henderson had been given an
opportunity to present its claims for Henderson to the entire
membership of the Railroad Commission ... Mr. Pierson call-
ed Mr. Gruver Tuesday of last week and informed him that t<
that date he had not been able to get the hearing for the Hen-
derson committee, but would advise him just as soon as he
was able to get this arranged with the commission ... he
hasn’t so advised yet . . . and it's practically a foregone con-
clusion from facts gathered since Commissioner Terrell’s vis-
it here Friday that definite action has been taken on remov-
ing the headquarters to Kilgore.
If it-should be revealed that Kilgore is the more logically
situated point for the headquarters, then we have no conten-
tion to make or no criticism. There are many angles to be
