AUSTIN. Feb. 26—Consumption of
electric power in Texas during Jan- ■
uary maintained a narrow margin of
gain over last year, and the decline
from December was less than season-
al, the University of Texas Bureau

Reports to the Bureau from fifteen
representative power companies
show total consumption of 169,740,000
kilowatt hours during January, a de-
cline of 1.7 per cent from December
but an Increase of 3.4 per cent over
January last year.
"It is noteworthy that commercial
consumption during January increas-
ed 2.2 per cent over December and
15.9 per cent over January last year,”
ths Bureau's announcement said.
"Residential consumption ' increased
8.5 per cent and 15.2 per cent respec-
tively over the two comparable pe-
riods; while industrial consumption
decreased 6.4 per cent from the pre-
ceding month and 1.8 par cent from
the corresponding month last year.”

AUSTIN, Feb. 36—One hundred
forty-four lives were loet on Texas
streets and highways in January ac-
cidents, state police reported today;
a decrease of 14 compared with the
same month of 1987,
State officers believed the drop in
crashes to be the result of favorable
weather conditions, lessened travel
and an increased tempo in a state-
wide campaign for safer travel. State
police joined local officers last No-
vember In a concerted drive to lower
the accident rates at places where
moat accidents were happening.
The January figures showed that
1,378 persons were injured in the 1,-
355 accidents reported. There were
216 pedestrians involved in the mis-
haps—40 of them were killed. Two
of the listed dead received their .fatal
injuries in December, bringing the
actual January toll down to 142, state
officers said.
Drunken Driving
Police—commenting upon drunken
driving—eaid there was a large in-
crease in the January reports on the
number of intoxicated drivers against
whom complaints were filed. Of the
1,647 drivers Involved, 117 were charg-
ed with intoxication. Increased pub-
lic sentiment against this type of
driver was believed to have contrib-
uted to the filing of complaints.
A new type of accident was reported
to state headquarters In the latter
part of January and the first two
weeks of February. Nine persons were
Injured in attempting to close auto-
mobile doors while the cars were in
motion. The Injured were thrown to
the highway1.

Atty. Gon. William McCraw prompt-
ly branded the attempted Federal sel-
sure a. illegal and hurried to Wash-
ington with a brief on the topic.
"Woposterous”. said Gov. James V.
Allred of the Federal claim, as he
started for the national capital to
protest it.
"Submerged land belongs to Tex-
as,” asserted Land Commissioner
William H. McDonald as he started
East.
‘‘And the state's submerged land is
to bo used for the school children,
added Ghent Sanderford, member of
the State Board of Education, who
accompanied McDonald to Washing-
ton.
. Back home rival candidates for atr
torney general agreed. “It’s ours be-
yond queotlon,” said Lieut. Gov. Wal-
ter Woodul. "Treaties explicitly give
Texas the title extending into the
Gulf of Mexico," said Dlst. Judge
Ralph Yarborough, former land as-
* sistant in the attorney general's of-
fice and candidate for attorney gen-
eral.
On a spot were United States sena-
tors from Texas. The question was

schools. The oil is not the

cornea from sale of shell, sand and
gravel recovered ofi the coast. Geo-
logists have guessed .the value of the
recoverable oil under the Gulf wai-
ters at 8100,000,000. Numerous leases
of submerged tracts for oil explora-
tion have been Issued. A well on
such a tract off the Jefferson Coun-
ty coast already has penetrated two
paying oil sands. It is to be drilled
to 8,000 feet below the water to deter-
mine full possibilities.
