LITTLE HOPE
FOR RELIEF
FROM SOLONS

AUSTIN, Aug. 10-tR-Defeated
in its oil conservation program be-
fore the Texas legislature, Cover
nor Ross S. Sterling's administra-
ton looked about today for a pos
sible solution of a condition in the
oil industry he saw as critical. The
special session will end Wednes-
day, and floor leaders felt the
chance 10 pass the kind of bills the
governor wanted had fled.
Program Killed
The senate completed the des-
truction OF the administration pro-
gram Saturday night. turning down
the Woodward Wagstaff conserva-
ton bill and substituting for 1t a
bill Sen. Walter Woodward termed
little or not better than the pres
ent statutes. Previously, both hous-
es had defeated a bill TO set up a
new conservation commission.
Meanwhile, as the legislature re-
turned for its final work 1t had
three other oil matters before 1t
a pipe line bill designed to make
markets more available to the
small producer, an oil tax suggest
ed by the governor and a bill pro-
posing a utilization plan for oper-
ation Of oil fields.
Session Unlikely
Mr.. Sterling had made no known
recession from his earlier decision
not to call the legislation back for
another session. He had said he be-
lieved nothing more could be ac-
complished in sixty days than in
80 DAYS. Last night he did not care
TO discuss further that phase OF
the situation.
A number OF kilograms, implor-
ing action toward proration ana
preventing waste came to the gov
ernor from east Texas, whose great,
flush oil field has demoralizzed p
nations market and where waste
according TO administration pro-
ponents runs riot
One wire signed by G. q. Porter
and j. b. Blanchard OF Tyler, sald
TO the executive:
If you are big enough to be
governor of Texas you will get that
senate back in session and keep
them there until they pass an ade-
uuate p~roration bill. East Texas OH
interests are dumbfounded at their
action yesterday saturday."
Bill Substituted
The senate put the coup de
a Saturday night TO the last
surviving administration bull, the
conservation bill and substituted
a bill emitting much OF the strict
court procedure proposed by the
woodward Wagstaff bill against
violators on oil and gas orders OF
the state railroad commission,
which will continue 10 enforce
whatever regulations are had.
The substitute bill also specifi-
cally would prohibit any proration
its sponsors, by parliamentary ann
euvers, left the verdict sealed and
made reconsideration impossible.
In the absence Of any official in
formation. Il was believed the ad-
ministration would attempt
through the route Of free confer
ence committee. TO have some OF
its theories written into whatever
bill is passed.
The leaders frankly said they
hoped for but little.
