BY CHARLIE ELLIS
When you were a kd in school
you read the story, the old fable,
about the young shepherd who ran
screaming into the house one night
crying "Wolf, wolf!" You remem-
ber how the older shepherds came
out and looked for the wolf but
there was no woit in the sheep
pens.
And you remember how after the
boy yelled wolf several other times,
the shepherds refused to heed him.
Then, one night when he yelled
wolf and there really was a wolf
in his flock of sheep, the shepherds

Grande valley increased approxi-

The valley area devoted to spring

allowable on Jan. 1 was 17,53 bar-
rels daily as against 1833 at tha
start of last year. The commission
repeatedly has sought to curtail
drilling through ’persuasion,’ its
only weapon.
Texas had 78,423 wells at the
start of 1938, commission officials
said, compared to 88,175 one year
earlier, a gain of about 15 per cent
Allowable production meanwhile in-
creased only 10 per cent—from 1,-
250,000 to 1375,000 barrels' per day.
V. E Cottingham, the commis-
sion's chief engineer, said this state
easily could produce 2,000,000 Lar-
rels daily without underground
physical waste and ‘possibly a great
deal more." There is no mrket,
however, for that much oil.
Many Texas operators maintain
the state should be given a larger
share of the national market. They
assert Texas has more than half
of the oil reserves yet is allowed
only 41 per cent of the nation s
production. Texas railroad commis-
sioners may urge action to gortect- 1

Jones said.
The men are wanted for a aeries

Jones said both men were armed

The men are alleged leaders of
