MAY CLOSE | . TEXAS OIL WELLS Governor Threatens to Use Ary if Legislature Fails = to Meet Issue. @y the Associated Press. AUSTIN, Tex.,, August 12.—Texas to- @ay faced the possibility of martial law to effect curtailment of oil production in the great East Texas fleld as the ture began the last day of its #pecial session called to relieve the over- production situation. Gov. Ross S, Sterling, whose oil con- servation program was turned down by the legislatars, sald martial law would Science New Breathing Stimulant Is Found by Japanese. Discovery of a new breathing stimu- lant, obtained in crystalline form from a Chinese variety of lobelia, is an- nounced by Sieko Kubota and 8. Naka- shima, Japanese physiologists, in the Chinese Journal of Physiology. It acts as a stimulator of the respira- tory center in the brain stem, but too large & dose reverses this action and causes & fatal respiratory paralysis. Seven-hundredths of a milligram of the new substamce per kilogram of body weight proved fatal for rabbits. The new drug depresses blood pressure by acting on the inhibitory fibers of the vagus nerve. Although a quite different substance. the discoverers report, it acts much like lobeline, another durg ob‘ained from the lobelia, which is related clozely to nicotine. —T.R. H (Copyright, 1931.) his last resort, but indicated he would not hesitate to use it if satis- factory legislation was not forthcoming. A compromise bill, drafted in com- mittee “meetings late last night and early today, was seen by oil men as & {)o-lhx solution of the problem. Al- hough its contents were not made pub- lic, Senator Walter Woodward, an ad- ministration backer, indicated it would meet the approval of the Governor. Effect Outlined. ‘The possibility of the use of martial law to effect a production shutdown was outlined to Gov. Sterling by Charles West, representative of Gov. W. H. Murray of Oklahoma. Murray last Tuesday closed down the Btate’s prorated oil fields because the price was not raised to $1 a barrel. The shutdown still is on and except for one offer of $1 a barrel for a lim- ited sapply of crude, the top price is €till 52 cents. Operators meeting last night in Dal- las voted to urge the Governor to call out troops if neecessary. Plans also went on for a meeting in Tyler, Tex., Friday night to discuss a voluntary | shutdown. | Governor Ready to Act. Belief that Gov. Sterling was pre- to adopt a martial law shutdown e form was strengthened when #t was made known that Assistant Ad- pjutant Gen. H. H. Carmichael was making an inspection of quarters in East Texas suitable for handling as many as 1,000 men. In Kansas operators still had under tion an ultimatum to the Public Service Commission to boost crude ofl prices to 60 cents a barrel or to face a State hearing to determine the advisability of a shutdown order.

GANG VICTIM REVEALED AS ONE-TIME CONVICT Wilmette, Ill, Reputed Real Es- tate Dealer Has Crime Record, LASTING REVVAL PRESDENT'S AM Permanent Phases of Indus- trial and Busin-ss Con- ditions Considered. By the Assoc'*‘ed Press The phase of the unemployment sit- uation that is causing President Hoo- ver more concern than any other is that which comes under the label of “permanent.” The business depression has demon- strated to industry that many em- ployes and types of activities heretofore considered ‘absolutely necessary can be eliminated without impairment of effi- ciency. In some cases the reduction of overhead and dabor cxpense has in- creased efficiency. ‘To add to the probiem, the Presi- dent’s Special Committee on Unemploy- ment has found, most of those in this category, who have been laid off, are high-type employes doing special work. ‘They are therefore difficult for employ- ment agencies to place. Some to Remain Low. A revival of business, Government ex- perts ncte, will result in an immediate pick-up in employment in most indus- tries. Other industries, however, are expected to remain at their preseni low level indefinitely. They are industries that have suffered & gradual business decline because substitutes for their basic ucts have captured the buy- public’s fancy. Permnanent unem- ployment undoubtedly will come from isuch sources. Heretofore after depressions new in- dustries have sprung up to absorb labor and raw material surpluses. The de- velopment of the radio and airplane industries, the President hopes will, with other new businesses, go far toward reviving trade and commerce. Among new businesses he expects those de- f heating plants he Summer for regulating the humidity and high temperatures by producing cold air to help. Scores Are Consulted. Since beginning his new study of the unemployment situation several weeks ago the Chief Executive has received hundreds of suggestions and has con- sulted with scores of people interested in the problem. His present objective, however, is to take care of unemployed the future. Mr. Hooyer is unequivocally opposed to Federal relief in any of the direct aid forms previously suggested in some quarters. He is nct, however, opposed to the Federal Government initiating plans for a permanent increase in :mgloymenL inical studies of this problem are being made by the President’s special committee.
