Land Head IS
HITTING BACK
Confident of Dissolv-
ing u. t. Oil Sale
Injunction

AUSTIN, Tex, Jan. 4.-(P)-Con-
fident that the courts would uphold
his stand in the University oil lands
leasing controversy, Land Commits
sioner J. T. Robson retired from the
public eye today to prepare a motion
to dissolve the injunction which pre-
vented the lease sale advertised for
last Wednesday.
Attorney General Claude Pollard
and the University board of regents
obtained the injunction to prevent
sale Of the leases until the legisla-
ture has had an opportunity to
amend the present leasing laws.
Friends of the University maintain
that the lands, If sold now, would
not bring as much as they are worth.
Robson, in answer to this pointed
out that test wells are being put
down near some of the lands adver-
tised and that they might be worth
less il these wells turned out to be
dry holes.
In the meantime Lloyd Price of
Fort Worth, former state senator,
was in Austin preparing to file man
damus proceedings seeking to COM
pei the state 70 80 through with the
the sale. Price represents oil COM
panies who bid on the leases.
