MERCEDES, Aug. 27—(Spl.) —
With the completion of Union Sul-
phur’s No. X American Rio Gran-
de. about five miles northeast of
Mercedes, as a producer Sunday
afternoon. It became evident today
that the well has a potential .prod-
uction of from 15.000 to 20,000
barrels daily. Experienced oil men
call it one of the most important
discoveries yet to be made in Hi-
dalgo county^
Operators today had the oiler
cut down to 150 barrels daily on a
three-eighths inch chock with a
working pressure of 1600 pounds.
The Mercedes deep oil field is
thus defined in a northeast and
southwest direction. The best ter-
ritory. however, seems to li toward
tho northeast, with the oil pool
under 10,000 acres of undeveloped
land.
§j|.- Union’s No. 1 is one and one-
fourth miles east of the discovery
weVl. Location is in Farm Tract 2,-
297, Mock 59, North Capisallo dis-
trict.
The crude is said to have a spe-
cific gravity of +5 degrees as com-
pared with a specific gravity of
IS degrees shown by Union’s No.
1. Production is from sands at
T4SS-7499 feet, the hole being bot-
tomed at the latter depth.

around Mercedes since the field's
second producer came in. although
the Union Sulphur company has
largo tracts blocked up.

ter the test cleaned itself. Drillers
were seeking completion in oil

WASHINGTON. Aug. 27—<;P)—
Turbulent and tense to the very
last instant of its strife-torn firs*
session, the 74th congress headed
homeward today leaving anxious
Roosevelt leaders seeking ways to
obtain millions in funds cut off by
a 5 1-2 hour filibuster by Senator
Long (D-La.)
Talking on despite taunts, gibes
and earnest pleas, Long held the
senate floor until the senate ad-
journed at the stroke of midnight
last night, end thus succeeded in
blocking the $102,000,000 third
deficiency b'll, carrying funds to
start the new deal's giant social
security program, utilities regula-
tion, the .Guffey coal control bill,
the new neutrality plan and other
major measures.
Declaring he wanted action on
12-cent cotton and 90-cent wheat
loan amendments which were a-
bandoned when the AAA an-
nounced a compromise 10-cent-
loan-plus-suh.sidy program for cot-
ton, Long was the center of a
highly dramatic scene an instant
before midnight, as gay crowds in
galleries held their breaths.
Long at that point was droning
on in a leisurely manner reading
from an old number of the Con-
gressional Record. Previously he
had shouted “I won’t surrender'
as administration leaders sought
to get him to desist.
Senator Schwellenbach (D-
Wash), who argued that Long was
blocking funds for the aged and
crippled, arose to point an accus-
ing finger at the Louisiana sena-
tor and Sa>J:
“It is now a minute before mid-
night. I ask whether or not be-
cause of bis selfish desire for pub-
licity, the senator from Louisiana
hasn't defeated the i^opes, the as-
pirations and the desires of mil
lions of people.”
Before Long could yell his oft-
reiterated “that ain’t so.’’ the big
clock's hand moved to 12 and Vice
President Garners gavel cracked
“The senate is adjourned sine
die.’* the vice president proclaimed.
(The two houses, hours earlier,
had passed resolutions for auto-
matic adjoui nment at midnight).
The galler.'ts, silent a minute be-
fore Garner s gavel fell, burst in-
to a roar. Senator Long walked out
of the chamber, alone.
1 Across the capitol, in the housie
chamber, leaders had turned their
clock back i-i the half-expectation
that perhaps the senate might do
likewise, w*s,r Long down, and
speed the deficiency bill to enact-
ment.
But when it became certain that
nothing like that was to be done,
the house too adjourned. It was
12 midnight by its clock when that
happened, b it actually it was 12:-
09 a. m. Eastern Standard time.
Thus , ended the historic session
which saw such measures passed bill, largest appropriation of

WASHINGTON, Aug. 27—(/P)
—Upholding Ids filibuster that
forced the deficiency appropri-
ation hill to go over until Jan-
uary. Senator Iamg (I)-Iji) again
toduy said it was a |M*otest again-
st not letting the house vote on
the cot ton-wheat loan rider.
He sent this statement to
ne\vs|M»|»ers.
6“Tile high handed move made
by Mr, Roosevelt and his cohorts
to out the throat of the wheat
and cotton farmers goes beyond
anything that has been done by
any tyrant or dictator in any
foreign land. Every member of
the U. S. senate and congress
who will take credit for agreeing
to let the White House scalp the
wheat and cotton farmers from
tho appropriation bill before lie
would allow the congress to vote
on it, ought to be run out of
public life.
"Actually, when the U. S. Sen-
ate by a two-tliirds vote declar-
ed to save and help tho wheat'
and cotton farmers from finan-
cial ruin by advaiKdiig 90 cents
l»er bushel on w heat and 12 cents
per pound on cotton, Mr. Roo-
sevelt and his crew refused to let
the congressmen vote on the
law; then they sent us our bill
bac k under orders to strike out
wheat and cotton and the)- would
let the other house of congress
cote on the law, but that they
would not let the other house
cote at all unless eve struck out
the farmers.
“1 wouldn’t stand for the high
bunded outrage. I would ratiier
die and go to hell thun submit
to it. That’s why I bloc ked their
move to hace us yield to tyran-
ny. •
“Where Is our republic when
president can say: ’Only on this
kind of a bill will I let the con-
gress vote. They are not fit to
vote? on it any other way.’
“If the other house of congress
wanted to vote down our far-
mers’ relief on >vheat and cot-
ton. 1 would have had to sub-
mit. but I would not have the
senate take wheat and -cotton out
of the bill Just i because |hcy
could tie tlie house up and not A
let it vote.
“Unless somebody strikes for
America In these kind of cases,
we are doomed.”
LEGISLATURE
IS TO MEET ON
SEPTEMBER 16
Tentative Date Is Fixed
For Passing Liquor
And Other Enabling
Laws.
AUSTIN, Texas, Aug. 27— f/P)—
Governor Allred said today he be-
lieved a special session of the leg-
islature would be convened Sept.
14 to pass a liquor regulation and
taix law and provide for old age
pensions. The governor said he ex-
pected to announce the date defi-
nitely within a few days.
The governor said legislators dif-
fered widely on the time for the
session, some advocating an im-
mediate call and others suggesting
it be delayed.
Governor Allred said It would
require two cr three weeks to out-
line a legislative program and write
bills for submission. He said he had
not decided If any subjects other
than liquor regulation and old age
pensions would be submitted. Ho
has arranged a series of confer-
ences with legislative leaders to
discuss the program in detail.
The governor said he hoped only
one session would be necessary.
There has teen much speculation
that more than one session would
be required, legislators anticipating
extended controversies over both
liquor regulation and pensions. In
addition, the session will be charg-
ed with placing district, county and
precinct officers on a salary, in-
stead of a fee, basis and this was
regarded as another topic that
would require lengthy debate.
Governor Allred said he Intend-
ed to investigate the relief situa-
tion to determine what the state
could do toward relief of unem-
ployables ineligible, for the feder-
al relief program. State relief
funds will oe exhausted by next
January 1. Failure of the elector-
ate to approve an amendment per-
tnitting submission of constitution-
al revisions at special sessions clos-
ed an avenue heavily relied upon
to mqet relief needs.
Representative Jim ^Toung of
Cuero, chairman of the House
liquor traffic committee to which
will be referred liquor control prop-
osals, strongly opposed the mono-
poly plan advocated in certain
quarters. Young favored a state
license plan.
“Unfortunately, some pro-leaders
who opposed repeal are seeking to
take charge of the bandwagon and
lead the parade in an entirely dif-
ferent direction fo-r that Indicated
by the people verdict,” Young
®aid. “The^now advocate putting
the stat£ into the liquor business.”
Young feared an extensive fight
over liquor control would delay
legislative enactment.
X-
all | curity measure; a new, if only tem-
se- j po-ary, neutrality policy for Amer-
ica; a bank bill giving a reorgan-
ized federal reserve board more
centralized-control over money and
credit; amendments to strengthen
AAA and TYA; a $250,000,000 new
tax bill; utilities regulation and a
list of other major acts.
It also saw the supreme court
strike down the new deal's num-
ber 1 experiment, KRA, starting
a constitutional debate sure to
epho in the 1986 campaign, and
it saw the sonata vote down Amer-
ican adherence to the world court
despite administration efforts.
All in all, expenditures author-
ized during the session totaled
some $10,250,000,000.
There was some uncertainty to-
day about the financing of social
security and other measures dur-
ing the interim until congress
meets again next January. Djuring
the heat of the Long filibuster, the
Louisianan bad pointed to asser-
tions that the Roosevelt adminis-
tration could get the money from
the $4,880,000,000 work relief
funds. Senator Robinson of Ark-
ansas, demccratic leader, replied
that Compti oiler General MjbCarl,
czar of fedtral expenditures, had
indicated otherwise. Robinsojh em-
phatically charged Long with “de-
liberately kil’ing" a bill "carrying
funds for the aged and crippled.”
As the fury of debate subsided,
however, other leaders indicated a
belief that sufficient money could
be found. Chairman Buchanan (D-
Tex) of the house appropriations
committee, said the president could
finance “everything necessary be-
tween now and January” through
executive orders.
To this, Rep. Taylor (D-Colo),
the acting democratic floor lead-
er, added:
“The president told a bunch of
us down at the white house this
morning, ana I suppose its no se
cret, that he could take care of
things even if the deficiency bill
didn’t pass”
Congress plunged into its last
nights session with warnings from
administration leaders that, under
the constitution, the president can
adjourn congress himself if tho
two houses disagreed on an ad-
journment date. It was disclosed
that this possibility had been dis-
cussed at a white house confer-
ence, though the executive offices
emphasized the president was mak-
ing no “threat.’
The AAA compromise on cotton,
which appaiently won the approv-
al of all except Long and a few
others, provides tor government
loans of 10 cents a pound on cot-
ton, plus a subsidy to bring the
return up to 12 cents. The AAA an-
nouncement contained no provi-
sion for wheat loans.
As the situation stands, the de-
ficiency bill, with the senate cot-
ton-wheat loan amendments which
the senate added, lies over to next
session.
Old Age Pensions
To Be Delayed
WASHINGTON, Aug. 27—</P)
—The new social security board
was reported in authoritative
quarters today to have given up
its plans to grant aid to states
ttiis year for old age pensions
and other parts of the social
security program.
This word preceded a White
House conference at which Pres-
ident Roosevelt and congression-
al leaders arranged to canvass
how the board could be financ-
ed until January.
Loss of the deficiency bill be-
for* the filibuster by Senator
Long (D-La )last night left :t
without fund^.

member of the board in Wash-
ington today abjo was to see the

WASHINGTON. Aug. 27—<PPy—
The achievements of this session
of congress will he memorable.
Practically every problem that
touches human interest has been
made aasier of solution by the
legislation enacted.
As a coordinate branch of the
government cooperating with the
executive and Judicial branches, I
think It can be truly said that the
congress has done Its part to carry
on through a grave crisis. Legisla-
tion enacted In the 73rd congress
and reinforced by the legislation of
tills session was enacted with the
expectancy that It would help
every pliase of- humaa and Indus-
trial endeavor.
Salient features of legislation
are the appropriation of S4.880.-
000,000 for work relief, purposely
proposed to substitute for the dole.
If the people whole-heartedly co-
operate with the government in
this great enterprise, we should
hear the Increased hum of Indus-
try.
Industry ha* been materially
aided also by the extension of
lending powers to the Reconstruc-
tion Finance corporation. Home
Owners Loan corporation and
Farm Credit administration, thus
making it possible for the self-re-
liant to re-establish themselves and
continue ■'with government loans
instead of direct government relief.
A bill declaring a moratorium on
farm mortgages, coupled with the
increased powers of the Agricultur-
al! Adjustment administration, will
further promote the comeback that
agriculture has made and give to
the farming interests, additional
<-out-age. The Senate has voted to
assist the tenant farmers and
share croppers.
The social security bill, providing
a system of old-age pensions and
unemployment insurance, is an
outstanding enactment that, work-
ing In cooperation with the states,
will give a definite reeling of sec-
urity to the aged and unemployed.
The law revising the central
hanking system will improve our
banking methods and give further
security to financial Interests. Tho
extension of deposit Insurance con-
tinues the faith of the individual
small depositor In our banks.
Enactment of a law placing
public utility holding companies
under government regulation gives
further security to the investing
public and consumers.

WASHINGTON’, Aug. 27—<4V-
The first sesslo^ of the 74th con-
gress will be remembered for ill-
advised legislation, extravagant ap-
propriations and tour billion dol-
lars for work-relief waste.
No congress Iji American history
lias made such a record. This rec-
ord has been i$ade under the di-
rection of President Roosevelt.
Congress has initiated nothing. The
president lias directed everything.
Whatever responsibility there is
must rest with Him and with a con-
gress that has {surrendered to his
wishes. To me has been almost
pathetic that sq many representa-
tives and so many senators would
surrendered thejr individuality and
cooperate in a] -coercive program
such as has he^n put tlirough.
The $4,800,900,000 was put

dollars and refusing to consider
the property of the independently-
owned plant located in that city.
With reference to the AAA a-
mendments, it must be admitted
that the cotton situation is most
chaotic. Just now we have the tax-
payer subjected to the necessity of
paying a subsidy out of the general
funds of the treasury to the cot-
ton producer. This Is simply an In-
dication of what will be proposed
on behalf of th^ many other pro-
ducers of raw products. In other
words. If thi-> proposal is to be car-
ried on, it meatis that in the end
we will be subsidizing not only the

WASHINGTON. Aug. 27—The
parade of new deal enactments to
the supreme court speeded up to-
day.
The government sought a ruling
on constitutionality of the AAA and
private interests made ready quick-
ly to challenge the TVA.
Congress having adjourned, these
developments bade fair to inten-
sify dispute over whether the new
deal can be carried on within the
constitution.
On all sides was a reallation that
the course of the 1936 campaign,
and perhaps the national destiny
itself, may bo tremendously affect-
ed by the f aults.
The justice department asked
the highest court to review the
case of the Hooslc Mills in Massa-
chusetts, under which the Boston
circuit court held against the AAA
last month.
The New Orleans circuit court
decision upholding the TVA was in-
volved in a brief prepared by For-
ney Johnsbr, counsel for George
Ashwander end other stockholders
of the Alabama Powder company.
He made reedy to file it, in an at-
tempt to have the TVA outlawed

WASHINGTON, Aug. 27
—(/P)—The AAA announced
today that subsidies to be
paid cotton farmers under
the new loan and payment
plan would be limited to two
cents a pound.
The government agreed yesterday
to lend ten cents a pound on cot-
ton produced this year under the
control program and to guarantee
producers a total return of 12 ceftts
a pound. This was a compromise
with southern senators who want-
ed a 12-cent loan.
Chester C. Davis, the farm ad-
ministrator, ^plained today that
“adjustment imyrnents” to farmers
under the plan will be limited t<S
two cents.
An AAA statement said:
“This explanation was made to
clarify any erroneous impression
thst might have been drawn froid
the announcement of the new pol-
icy yesterday and in response to
inquiries as to whether the produc-
ers would receive the difference be-
between average price and twel-
cents in the event .the average price
declined below the ten-cent level.
“The government’s commitment
to pay producers the difference
between the avrage price and twel-
ve cents is limited to two cents per
pound, “Mr. Davis stated, “and if
it should develop that prices drop
below, ten ccnta—a highly Improb-
able contingency—producers would
bs expected to put their cotton in
the loan and wait for 'prioes to
recover.”
In other words, should the price
go below 10 cents farmers would
be expected to apply for the 10
cent a pound loan offered bj* the
government and hold their cotton
until the market quotations rea-
ched that level.
Further announcements were
predicted as fast as additional de-
tails are worked out by the farm
administration.
