BUSINESS
I am opposed to restrictions on business which
tend to obstruct healthy competition; to trade barriers
between states and discriminatory freight rates which
give one section an undue advantage over another,
and to any artificial interference with the flow of
commerce and trade which results in unjustified cost
to the ultimate consumer.
POLICY
I will not consider any other office while I am
Railroad Commissioner.
I will not tolerate special groups dictating special
favors for special interests.
The office will be conducted so openly and fairly
there will be no dark corners of special privilege.
Honest, fair and impartial enforcement of laws
for the best interest of the state will be the keynote'
of my administration of this high trust.
OIL
Eliminating political favoritism, I shall follow a
policy of oil administration openly arrived at and
designated to treat all fairly and alike.
I oppose federal control of Texas oil production
and unreasonable restrictions which would result in
high-priced gasoline to the consumer.
Honest administration will go far toward stabi-
lizing the industry and eliminating destructive un-
certainty.
I will do nothing which would endanger the oil
industry from which Texas obtains its vital school
funds.
I believe it is the duty of the railroad commission
in the regulating of business to aid rather than han-
dicap the normal grotwh of business enterprise.

With Europe giving a display of its
own brand of fireworks, there is
more than ever a reason why the
United States should attempt to
celebrate the Fourth of July this
year without the fire and noise
which has been traditional, Marvin
Hall, state fire insurance commis-
sioner, said today.
American Medical Association re-
ports show that 31 Texans were
seriously injured last Fourth of July
while playing with fireworks.
In cities prohibiting fireworks by
local ordinance, firemen can materi-
ally aid the cause of safety by en-
forcing what laws they have, Hall
declared. In locations where sale is

TRANSPORTATION
Fair and equitable competition between rail and
motor transportation is essential to Texas prosperity
and industrial growth. I favor an increase in the
truck load limit. I believe the public is best served
by a sound and honest policy which protects public
interests and safeguards business investment. I op-
pose discriminating rates which handicap the farmer,
merchant, and add unreasonably to consumer cost.
allowed, departments can enforce
safety measures for every fireworks
stand. No stand should be allowed
in front of a store, where it con-
ceivably might cut off exit in case
of fire, and firemen should enforce
“No Smoking” rules and require fire
extinguishers or water pails.

The Permian Basin Association
closed its second annual convention
at Odessa -Saturday, and named
Lubbock as the 1941 convention city.
New officers were elected at the
meeting, with Hamilton McRae of
Midland, being named president,
succeeding J. L. Greene, Midland
attorney. C. C. Thompson, Colorado
City and Geo. W. Elliott, Odessa,
were re-elected vice presidents. New
vice-presidents include S. E Cone,
Lubbock, succeeding Ralph Ober-
holtzer, and C W. Meadows, Sr., San
in effect “substituted its judgment
for that of the carrier as to what
is necessary to protect the safety of
its operation.”
The railroads recommended that
rules and procedure of the Adinct-
ment Board should be changed so
as to require full statements of the
case in submisisons to the Board,
with an opportunity for reply by
the other party; to set a reasonable
time limit to claims for back pay;
to permit parties to a case to be
heard by the referee making the
decision; to allow the evidence pre-
sented to be preserved; and to re-
quire that opinions giving the basis
and reasoning of awards to be pub-
lished. Provisions to permit judicial
review of Board decisions were also
recommended.
“Peace in the railroad industry,
repeatedly threatened by labor, is
not due to the adjustment board
system as now administered,” Mr.
Dickinson said. “There were no
strikes of consequence on the rail-
roads of the United States during
the twelve years preceding the es-
p LEVEN high school boys today
L are sitting on top of the world.
They have just received word from
David Sarnoff, President of the
Radio Corporation of America, that
they are the preliminary winners
in the $4000 Opportunity Scholar-
ship competition sponsored by that
company.
The boys were selected from 2500
entrants in every State and Terri-
tory as being “most likely to suc-
ceed” in careers as radio scientists.
Although the rules of the competi-
tion, offered to more than 17,000
high schools, specified ten prelimi-
nary winners, a tie for tenth place
made it necessary to include one
more boy in the list.
The future scientists, who have
just been graduated from their
high schools, will be brought to
New York and Camden, N. J. in
August for an entire month of in-
spection and study of RCA’s en-
gineering, laboratory and manufac-
turing facilities. During that period
they will be under the eyes of the
Judges, who are outstanding radio
engineers. On September 1st, one
of the eleven boys will be selected
as the final winner, and he will be
awarded the $4000 tuition and main-
tenance scholarship in electrical
and radio engineering at a college
selected by the boy himself from
a list of approved institutions.

GAS UTILITY RATES
I will continue my fight for fair gas rates which
has already resulted in large savings to scores of
Texas communities. Utilities must be allowed a rea-
sonable return on investment, but Texas consumers
must be protected from excessive charges for natural
gas.

Present procedure of the National
Railroad. Adjustment Board results
in decisions requiring railroads to
pay for work not done, and to pay
more than once for much work that
is done, the Attorney General’s
Committee on Administrative Pro-
’ cedure was told this week by John
Dickinson, General Solicitor of the
Pennsylvania Railroad, presenting
a statement on behalf of all the
railroads. Rulings of the Board have
reduced transportation efficiency,
Mr. Dickinson said, and handicapped
railroads in rendering service and
meeting competition.
To the Attorney General’s com-
mittee now engaged in a study of
various public administrative bodies
the railroads offered seven specific
recommendations for improved pro-
cedure of the National Railroad Ad-
justment Board created in 1934. The
function of this board is to interpret
and apply the various working agree
ments between different railroads
and classes of employes ,of which
there are now more than 4,000 on
recorc.
The present procedure, the rail-
roads declared, has resulted in “de-
cisions so unjust and inequitable”
chat the employes have procured
compliance with them by repudiat-
ing the process of enforcement pre-
scribed by the law itself, and by sub-
stituting therefor the strike-vote
-1 its threat of transportation
tie-up.” -
“The very unwillingness of the
railroad labor unions to follow the
statutory procedure by permitting
the important decisions of the
Board to be enforced by court ac-
tion,, rather than by threat of strike,
is an implied recognition that many
awards will not stand the test of
judicial scrutiny,” the railroads
added.
receive a cash award of $100 in
addition to the trip.
Restrictions in the competition
were severe. Only those boys of
high scholastic standing were per-
mitted to enter. An unusually dif-
ficult examination in physics,
mathematics and radio principles,
prepared by Columbia University
department heads and well-known
radio engineers, was given to these
students, and in addition a search-
ing inquiry was made as to their
characters and personalities. The
Judging Board, composed of chief
engineers and laboratory scientists
of RCA companies, used all of this
data in selecting the preliminary
winners.
The young men who will receive
the free trip to the East for final
competition for the scholarship are
in such widely scattered States as
California, Pennsylvania, New Mex-
ico and South Dakota. The com-
plete list includes David S. Colburn,
Fresno, California; Joseph Collins,
Washington, D. C.; John DeWolf,
Wayne, Pennsylvania; William C.
Jakes, Jr., Evanston, Illinois;
Gordon W. McClure, Oak Park,
Illinois; John Moll, Wauseon, Ohio;
Richard K. Moore, Kirkwood, Mis-
souri; Francois N. Palmatier, Port
Edwards, Wisconsin; Floyd D.
Raasch, Watertown, South Dakota;
George F. Smith, Roswell,, New
Mexico; and George W. Swenson,
