TOCUT TAXES
 WITH OIL LAND

Austin, Tex. = (UP) - Refugio county has reached the goal of po- liticaf endeavor-support of gov- ernment without taxes.
 It has set an example that Gov- ernor Ross Sterling will try for the entire state. It has run It's county affairs on money obtained from oil and gas wells.
 When the Refugio field was de- veloped, the county commission CTS, decided that the big plot of ground surrounding the county court house was as likely a spot for oil as any other territory. Their guess proved correct. Oil royalties supplanted county taxes.
 On January 1, the state will en- deavor to get part of it's govern mental expense from oil under the Sabine river in the East Texas oil field.
 For lack of 15 votes, the attempt must be delayed until then. Those IS votes would have passed the oil exploitation bill with an emer- gehcy clause making 1t effective at once. GFt
 Then a mineral board, composed of the governor. state land commits sioner and chairman of the state railroad commission, can either lease the river bed. make a con- tract for drilling in it. or negotiate for a sale of the ''oil in place." The purchasers of the oil in its place under the river could only be hold CTS of leases along the banks. They could withdraw 1t through their wells near the river.
 Governor Sterling estimates the river has 1000 acres of oil land in the river bed. Production is esti- mated at 20.000,O00 barrels.

 New York, Nov 4--(UP)- The grain marked continued to set the pace for stocks today, an afternoon bulge in wheat carrying the bulk of the stock market up to its pre- vious close.
 Trading in stocks was slow, how ever, most of the larger operators centering their attention on the grain market, where wheat recov- cred an early cent loss and rose to Q gain of about cent. Changes in stocks were generally fractional and attracted little interest.
 Steel was unable to recover an early point setback but good gains were made by various leaders of the copper and petroleum groups. Shares of few companies likely to benefit from improved agricul- tural conditions such as Sears. Roebuck, International Harvester and Montgomery Ward were firm. Motor shares also reflected the. in- proved sales outlet in these sec tions, rising under the leadership of General Motors.
 Miscellaneous industrial favor ites such as General Electric, Vest inghouse Electric and Radio were firm but American Can continued under special pressure, at a loss of abaut point. Radio-Keith reflect ed it's poor earning statement for

 Chairman Fess of the republi- can national committee, said "The usual protest vote in time of ad- versity did not repeat itself' and added that in Cincinnati "the only district involving the administra- ton issue," a republican was elected to congress.

Files Charges Against Headquarters Men and Chair. man Minor Expects to Bring Matter Before Meet ing of Body This Afternoon

A letter of protest against desk officers at police headquarters ! failing to heed prisoners requests } to page their favorite lawyer was expected to be read this afternoon at the regular semi-monthly meet ing of the board of police commis- sioners.
 Attorney Harry w. Minor. chair man of the board, declared that he had heard of letter being written as a complaint to Super iintendent Joseph H. Mclean and that Attorney Michael V. Blans- 2 field was the author.
 If such a protest Is made it Is more than likely that the Water bury Bar association will tender the author of it a vote of thanks and incidentally the Desk Officers association at headquarters will make the welkin ring with their denials.
 Charges have been frequently made that prisoners can shout long and loud for Attorney So- and-So and he gets Attorney Some abody-Else, any help in case of need being welcomed.

Washington, Nov 4-CUP)-The administration has g. Luncheon club.
 Daily the big men of the White House, the. Republican National committee and some government departments gather in spot where no one would think of looking for them--in an exclusive and very high-priced apartment hotel across a park from the White House.
 Here in the Hay-Adams house, unobserved they swap yarns on the affairs of the day, exchange ideas on what the government should do. officially and politically, about various matters, and in gen. eral add to the unity of action" so greatly desired just now by President Hoover.
 They say the Hay-Adams house was selected because not more than half a dozen Washington cor respondents could afford to eat there regularly. One was taken in as guest of government official, and the check was considerable. He had been the only outsider to crash the gate. He was not asked again, and 1t is understood none of his colleagues will be asked either.
 Most of the regular patrons of the place are weighty society dowagers and underfed society fiappers who care not at all if the elderly group at the administration tables decide on a new morator- ium or per cent beer. Attendants at the "club" include Theodore Joslin secretary of the president; Ray Banjamin, MT Hoover's number one confidential man; Robert Lucas, first mate of the national committee, James l.. West, the committees director of publicity, and General Frank T. Hines. administrator of veterans affairs.
 To Benjamin goes the credit for discovering the place. All like 1t because it Is close to most of their offices and sufficiently remote from the usual centers.
