AUSTIN, July 17 W—The Rail-
road Commission today boosted the
Texas crude oil allowable for
August to 2,924,306 barrels per day,
a whopping increase of 187,392 bar-
rels over the current rate of flow.
The big jump in allowable fol-
lows four consecutive months of
cutbacks which had dropped the
permissive flow nearly half a mil-
lion barrels a day since mid March.
Addition of two statewide produc-
ing davs will be responsible for the
expanded output. This will mean 20
statewide days of flow in August,
with the big East Texas field re-
maining on 19 days.
The commission acted immedi-
ately after a brief statewide prora-
tion hearing at which only one ma-
jor purchaser recommended a cut.
The bid boost particularly pleased
members of the Texas Independent
Producers and Royalty Owners As-
sociation whose president, Bryan
W. Payne of Tyler, warned at the
hearing:

CHICAGO V — President Tru-
man’s fighting declaration against
any convention "betrayal" of his
political creed paced a new trend
among Democratic presidential as.
pirants today.
Without any apparent advance
knowledge of Truman’s blunt de-
mand for endorsement of his “Fair
Deal” program, at least two can-
didates moved to put themselves
in a position—if they get the nomi-
nation—to lead a fight against what
they called "Republican reaction.

gia, plagued by his designation as

others to compromise a civil rights
plank in the party platform.
And it threatened further com-
plications in the contest over the
seating of rival delegations from
Texas. One of these, headed by
Gov. Allan Shivers, is definitely
anti - administration. The other,
headed by former Rep. Maury
Maverick, is tabbed as a ’ loyalist”
group.
Truman’s call for “bold and re-
solute" action was interpreted
here as reaffirming his stand that
the party must not compromise on
the civil rights issue.

Texas Democrats have opened
their show in Chicago. .. .
Maury Maverick, white-haired
veteran of political battles from
San Antonio, arrived to the con-
vention city late Wednesday and
immediately called a press confer-

a Houston oilman, sent the govern-
or a telegram terming as false a
charge that he had threatened the
governor with opposition if the gov-
ernor did not cease attacking the

votes on the first ballot."
Asked what the word “when”
meant — was be predicting that
Shivers' group will win the battle
for accreditation. Russell replied
"I have a feeling Gov. Shivers'
delegation will be seated.”
Texans on both sides of the con-
troversy began arriving in Chica-

Wright Morrow of Houston,
Democratic national committee-

see how this convention can do
anything but seat our (the Shivers)
delegation if the majority rule is
to apply. Why, we had 90 per cent
of the state convention."
SHIVERS DUE
Shivers was scheduled to arrive
late Thursday.
Maury Maverick, former San
Antonio mayor and congressman
and head of the Texas Loyalists
delegation, claimed: "If the legal
Texas delegation is seated, we will

Maj. Gen William F Dean, from
a prisoner of war camp at the
bomb-shattered capital of Pyong-
yeng to another camp in North
Korea but did not give his new
location.
The disclosure came in an ex-
change of letters by liaison officers
of the United Nations Command
and Communist truce teams at
Panmunjom.
The Red letter told of a large-
scale prisoner transfer involving
Dean, former commander of the
U S. 24th Infantry Division, and
numerous Korean captives.
The Allied communication de
manded an accounting of 1.881 mis-

The Reds announced his transfer
in notifying the U N. that they had
abolished three prisoner of war
camps and set up six new ones
Four of the new ones are at or near
Pyongyang, target of a destructive
Allied air raid last week.
The disclosure came during the
fourth day of a Communist-called
recess in secret armistice negotia-
tions at Panmunjom over the dead-
locked issue of prisoner exchange.
The five-man truce delegations are
scheduled to reconvene at 11 am

North Korean Gen. Nam II wrote
that among three camps abolished
was No. 6, eight miles north of
Pyongyang. There, the Reds an-
nounced earlier, they held Dean
and a prisoner they identified as
Pfc. Eon Mitchell a former mem-
ber of the 2nd Infantry Division
He was presumed to be an orderly
for Dean. .
The other two camps eliminated

were No. 9 at Pyongyang, which

and No. 10, 25 miles east of Sinuiju

In addition to the four new camps
in the Pyongyang area, the Com-
munists said they set up a camp
at Ipsok, five miles southeast of
