Chairman Wylie was delegated

Curtis Morris, tax expert and
student of ccunty government, led
the discussion. Morris began his
talk with a comparative summery
of the expenditures of 1938. He
used Smith, Gregg and McLennan
counties as a basis for his com-
parisons.
In Harrison County, Morris said,
the commissioners operate under
a unit system. They buy all ma-
chinery on a county-wide basis—
not by precincts, like it is done
in Rusk County. It doesn’t take as
much machinery, he said, and
work is done as efficiently. Men
are worked as one crew. They are
put to work on one job and they
stay with that until it is finished,
then may be shifted to another
precinct.

“Were you ever a member of
the Friends of the New Ger-
many?”
“I was," he said, "I joined in
1924.”
At the time of organization,
Kuhn said, George Froebese was
made Midwest district leader,
Hermann Schwinn, West Coast
leader, and Rudolph Markmann,
Eastern leader. These men still
hold office, he said.
Kuhn denied that he ever was
connected with the Nazi party
before he left Germany, but he
belonged to a reserve officers’
association and the Steel Helmets.
He said he left Germany be-
fore the “beer cellar putsch” in
Munich in 1923.
He added that in the later
years of the Friends of New Ger-
many he was their unit leader
for Detroit.
Kulm was asked to explain the
purposes of the Bund and its ad-
ministrative set-up.
“The Bund is divided into three
divisions,” he said, “East, Middle-
West, and West, and each division
is divided into districts, which are
the States.
The Bund has 47 districts, he
said, Louisiana being the only
state where it has no members.

OVERTON — When the Over-

new $11,000 building will be ready
f use for both high and junior
school classes, according to an an-
nouncement made Tuesday by
Supt. E. D. Cleveland.
Built of brie’ the two-story
structure will serve as a shop,
with 1500 square feet of floor
space. Also there will be a me-
chanical drawing room,a Storage
room, and a finishing room, all
located on the second floor of the
60 by 42 t ' rilding. The ground
floor will be utilized for a bus
shed.
Cleveland also stated that bids
will be accepted Thursday for ad-
ditional bleachers to extend 20
fetirt*hrgat end ef-thespresent
bleachers* on' both sides of the
playing field. A vacant space
between the football field and the,
Kilgore highway has been leveled
eff and sodded with grass during
the summer. A fence has been
built aroun" t e plot as a part of
a beartfication project.
A new room has been added to
the colored school in the south
part of the city. It will be used to
alleviate crowded conditions in the
elementary grades, the superin-
tendent added.
Registration for Overton High
school classes will be held Thurs-
day and Friday, Sept, 7 and 8.
Mr. Cleveland said. Students in nil
elementary grades will register
on Monday, Sept. 11.
With one excention, the faoultv

Weiss then spoke. “No one was
more reluctant to make the price
cut than Humble directors, he
began. “I would like to accept the
full responsibility and correct the
suggestion that it was dictated
by Wall Street. We are large
producers of oil and we are con-
scious of our responsibility as
large purchasers of oil. We have
attempted always fairly to in-
terpret the condition of the mar-
ket.
“Ten per cent of the produc-
tion for a period of 10 months
has been selling below the Humble
prices. Humble buys, 80,000,000
barrels of oil annually in Texas.
We felt we could no more ignore
the fundamental laws of business
and economics than we could do
some other unbusinesslike act. We
felt obliged to change the price.”
“How much of this underprice
oil was coming from Louisiana?”
Sadler asked.
Weiss replied that South Louis-
iana was providing 81,900 barrels
of it on Aug. 1 and North Louis-
iana and Arkansas, 39,300 bar-
r?ls. He said underprice oil in
Texas totaled 97,650 barrels a
day.
Weiss commended “any legal
efforts sincerely made to correct
the situation.
“The price of oil today is too
low,” he said, "but we cannot
pay more than others.”

about 6.8 per cent of the total
relief load. Skilled workers took
some cuts, but for the most part
they received increases.
Decreases in Newark, N. J.,
were typical. There the unskilled
rate was reduced from $61.10 per
month to $57.50 for Class A work-
ers and to $52 for Class B. The
revision classified unskilled work-
ers employed on inside jobs as
“B.” Many workers who former-
ly received Class “A” nay will
now fall in the “R” classifica-
tion.
Skilled laborers in Newark will
receive $89.70 instead of $85.80.
Similar, but not identical,
changes were scheduled for Phil-
adelphia, Pittsburgh, Columbus,
Toledo, Akron, Cleveland, Mil-
waukee, and Detroit. Skilled work-
ers in Boiton, New York, Buffalo,
N. Y., Worcester, Mass., and
Rochester, N. V., on the other
hand, will have their pay reduced. (
Another major change was the :
elimination of the 10 per cent
wage differential which WPA j
formerly allowed to meet special .
local conditions. Relief workers
lent. Not one had commented on
the production shutdown.
Many oil men—producers and
market experts—predicted an im-
mediate increase in gasoline prices.
There is no law forbidding a price
increase by' any company, and
should one refiner increase prices
all the others would almost cer-
tainly be obliged to follow suit. !
Should the stored supply of crude j
dwindle and the strike shutdown
be maintained there would not be '
enough available crude in the J
fields unaffected to supply more [
than 25 per cent of the usual daily ■
gasoline consumption.'
The Texas shutdown was made ‘
effective Tuesday at 7 a.m. by de- ;
cree of the Railroad Commission. '
oil governing body there. Gov.
Leon Phillips of Oklahoma, who I
personally attended the extraordi- j
nary compact session, proclaimed ;
the production stoppage effected !
at 7 a.m. today. The New Mexico I
shutdown, ordered by Gov. John
Milks, also went into effect at 7
a. m. Gov. Payne Ratner said
the Kansas fields would be closed
"sometime today.”
Delegates to the compact meet-
ing where the strike action of Ok-
lahoma, Kansas and New Mexico
was announced following a four
hour conference, described the in-
dividual state shutdowns as “par
alll action” rather than coordinat-
ed. Ernest O. Thompson, presi-
dem of the compact commission
issued this statement:
from $14 per month to from
$46.80 to $50.70, and for skilled
workers from $63 to $79.30.
The order also set up a new
; ervation of liberty such as Amer-
the morning. I. L. Sorenson,
Houston, geologist for Humble was
first witness. He submitted data
to support the company’s claim
that it is entitled to 14.7 per cent
of the field production based on
mbps of the field, showing leases,
wells and thickness of the oi!-
bearing rand. He soid Humble
was not taking the position that
the allowable production for the
field should be increased above
.'..80,000 barrels for seven days a
week, but aske ’ readjustment of
the proration.
Other East Texas operators say
that if Mumble is granted what it
asks and the field allowable is not
raised many wells will be limited
to five barrels a day. They will
demand a 20 barrels minimum, it
was learned.
Other persons sworn to ap-
pear at hearing in support of
the company application for more
oil from present wells were: Fee
lix Runion, T. D. Moore, Kaip-
Schilthuis and S. F. Holmsly or
Houston and Bruce Davidson, Ty-
ler
- Sorensen said Humble leases can
be served adequately with present
wells and that an increased num-
ber of wells would cause unneces-
sary expense.

WASHINGTON. (UP) — Rep.
John J. Cochran, D., Mo., said to-
day that "there is not the re-
motest possibility” of Rep. Sam
Rayburn, D., Tex., being deposed
as house majority leader next ses-
sion because of his endorsement of
Vice-President John N. Garner for
the presidency in 1940.
Cochran defended Rayburn’s en-
dorsement of Garner as “the na-
tural thing.” He pointed out that
Rayburn was Garner’s campaign
manager in 1932 and has been as-
sociated with him for more than
25 years.
He said reports that the admin-
istration might attempt to oust
Rayburn because of his support
of Garner were "more or less
imagination."

c’ded upturn in employment was
