WASHINGTON, Dec. 26 (AP.
Increased employment under the
defense program was viewed by
several senators today as making
possible a reduction in relief spend-
ing.
Congress voted $975,000,000 to
the WPA for the present fiscal
year, but decided that the entire
appropriation could be used before
next March 1. A supplemental ap-
propriation probably will be neces-
sary to continue relief payments
up to July 1.
Senator Adams (D.-Colo.), chair-
man of the appropriations sub-
committee which handles relief ap-
propriations, told reporters:
“It would seem—with people go-
ing back to work under the de-
fense program—there might be a
very decided cut in relief expendi-
tures.” -r.c .

AUSTIN, Dec. 26 (AP).—Esti-
mated 1940 Texas oil production of
486,448,449 barrels increased 8,*
900,703 over that of 1939 while to-
tal gas production of approximate-
ly 1,541,321,000,000 cubic feet was
243.014,000.000 over that of the
year previous.
Reflecting the growth of the in-
dustry, a possible 9,768,000,000
barrels of oil underground also
testified to some extent to con-
servation efforts of the Railroad
Commission which regulates the
state’s gigantic oil and gas inter-
ests.
In the opinion of the commis-
sioners, the end of 1940 found the
industry on a stable basis. Policies
of the state agency, however, have
been severely criticized in some
quarters.
A number of operators, contend-
ing discrepancies in allowable pro-
duction existed between fields and
wells, believed federal control was
near.
Largest producer among the
states, Texas has been declared
ready to supply any demand for oil
or lubricants in a national emer-
gency and observers point out the

While some oil men clamored for
a new state agency to regulate oil,
others noted the commission’s
membership,-and possibly its poli-
