PANHANDLE FIELD
MAY DE DIVIDED
IN THREE ZONES
FINAL HEARING HELD UNDER
NEW GAS CONSERVATION
MEASURE OF STATE
AUSTIN. July 20 f/P)—Final hear-
ing before Issuance of an order un-
der a new gas conservation law, ef-
fective August 1. was conducted by
the Railroad commission yesterday.
Feasibility of dividing the Pan-
handle field into zones for regula-
tory purposes, size of acreage units
on which wells might be drilled and
pressure as shown by recent tests
were the principal subjects exam -
ined.
Indication Given
While the commission gave no
definite indication as to what it
might do with reference to zoning,
testimony of various witnesses, from
time to time, referred to two, and
possibly three zones.
Wheeler county and a portion of
Gray county were suggested as be-
ing zoned naturally from the west-
ern portion of the Panhandle field
by a narrow, low pressure area, lying
west of a line passing approximately
through Lefors.
At the concluding session, Sena-
tor Clint Small of Amarillo, co-
author of the new law, sought to
develop that an order based on the
present market demand for produc-
tion in Wheeler county, if that
county were made a separate zone
would be discriminatory.
Wheeler Produces 60 Million
He drew from Gordon Griffin,
chief petroleum engineer for the
commission, testimony that Wheeler
county's present production because
of market demand was about 60,
000,000 cubic feet per day while its
potential dally production was 6,-
378,419,000 cubic feet as compared
with potential production for the
whole Panhandle of more than 14
billion cubic feet.
Senator Small also attempted to
show that a unit of 2,560 acres per
well, suggested by a witness for the

County “Dry” Chairman
Asks Defeat Of Repeal
EDITOR’S NOTE: S. A. Rlbble,
Wheeler county chairman of the
Antt-Whlskey movement, was ask-
ed by The Texan to write an ar-
ticle setting forth his views on the
proposed state amendment to be
voted on August 24, which If It is
voted, would legalize the sale of
whiskey In Texas. Mr. Rlbble’*
article is presented herewith, and
we will be glad to hear from other
readers on the whiskey question.
By S. A. ROUBLE
Through the courtesy of Mr. Al-
bert Cooper, editor of The Sham-
rock Texan, I shall answer the above
question in such a way as to show
due respect to my neighbors and
friends who shall perhaps disagree
with me. I am not Infallible, nor
am I as well posted on these mat-
ters as I would like to be, but what
I shall have to say seems amply
supported by facts available.
First, I wish to call attention to
the promises of the proponents of
repeal. They told us that If we had
repeal then the authorities at
Washington could balance the bud-
get, They said unemployment would
be greatly reduced, If not entirely
abolished. They said that bootleg-
ging would automatically vanish, for
It was caused by prohibition, The
saloon would never, no never return.

RITTER CAMPAIGN
AGAINST JEWS IS
PUSHED DY NAZIS
DETERMINED TO RULE OR RUIN
HITLER RADICALS TAKE
COMPLETE CONTROL
BERLIN, July 20 (AT—Adolf Hit-
ler’s nazis— apparently determined
to “rule or ruin"—lashed out at “re-
actionary opposition” on three fronts
yesterday.
Jews. Catholic and Protestant
churchmen and members of the
steel helmet veterans' organization
simultaneously felt the weight of
nazl wrath, with concentration
camps, confiscation of property and
threats of Imprisonment the meth-
ods employed.
Radicals In Saddle
With nazl radicals apparently
firmly in the saddle, Berlin’s mod-
erate police head, Admiral Magnus
von Levetzow, bitterly assailed for
his failure to use more stem meth-
ods against Jews, was ousted and
Count von Helldorf, avowed anti-
Semite, replaced him.
Forthwith the bitter campaign
against the Jews gained new em-
phasis.
More Jews and their alleged Ar-
yan women Inmates were sent to
concentration camps, for “racial im-
purity," raising to 28 those Impris-
oned this week. Increasingly Jews
were segregated at bathing places
and health resorts. There was talk
of limiting them to Ghettos. The
radical nazl press grew still more
vituperative.
Await Wholesale Arrests
Meanwhile Catholic and Protes-
tant men of the cloth calmly await-
ed expected new wholesale arrests
among the clergy In line with the
edict issued yesterday by General
Hermann Wilhelm Ooering, head
of secret police, ordering rigid en-
forcement of decrees aimed at
church activities.

State Gerald O. Mann.
The constitution, at present, pro-
hibits the sale, manufacture and
transportation of alcoholic liquors

would be stricken out by adoption
of the repeal amendment.
The proposed amendment specifi-
cally prohibits the return of the

the legislature to define the term
"open saloon."

of bucking steers and horses was
also said to have been brought In

tion to attend a school of Instruc-
tion. Attendance at this school will
mean a reduction In the fire rate
at Shamrock.
