AUSTIN. Dec. 21.—(4b-Crude oil j
production -in Texas next month
will average 2,124,064 barrela dally, I
based on a Railroad C--— 1
order which permits a maximum
flow of 2280.251 barrels a day.
Announcing the January produc-
tion pattern yesterday, the commis-
sion said underproduction estimates
at 8 85 per cent of allowable, would
hold daily production at 1,124,084
barrela. or only 64 barrels more than
recommended by the Petroleum Ad-
ministration for War.
Production of 155,065 barrels dally
of distillate and natural gasoline
will increase total production of all
petroleum liquids to 2,279,140 barrels
daily, or 5,149 more than the over-
all recommendation of PAW.
January's schedule of producing
days and holidays is unchanged
from December In that there will be
24 general producing days and 24
for East Texas. There will be no
closing days for the Panhandle.
The commission changed only
one field allowable lor January, that
of Talco which was reduced from
25.404 barrels to 22.994 barrels. In
addition Talco was placed on a 28-
day producing schedule. This month
it is exempt from closing

wide proration hearing In Austin

Although defective motor cars
are not contributing directly to the
growing death list they are figur-

accidents. Nearly a third of all ac-

No Early Halt Likely
Security regulations still blacked
out the names of towns which Ger-
man advanced elements had reach-
ed 48 hours ago.
But on good authority it could
be said that the German onslaught
was not likely to be halted this
week, although First Army counter-
measurqa have been in progress
since tire German attack began roll-
ing Dec. 16
American troops suffered consid-
erable casualties and several ele-
ments were completely surrounded

The German 60-mlle front had
been ccratained on its north flank
along the line from Monschau,
Butgenbach and Stavelot after a
20-mile penetration'Into Allied rear
areas 22 miles from Liege.
But on the enemy’s southern
flank the Germans were reported I
surging forward in a possible turn
toward sedan on the Meuse, 65
miles southwest of their last report-
ed positions at Maspelt, south of
St Vith.
Low grey clouds and fog for the
second day bound Allied air forces
to the ground and robbed Lieut.
Gen. Hodges' First Army of its best
4chance of pulling down the German
offensive to a complete halt im-
mediately.

Well and good, says Garrison,
