MURRAY GIVES OIL
PRICE ULT|MATUM
Threatens to Close All Wells
in Oklahoma Unless ST
Per Barrel Paid.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
OKLAHOMA CITY, August Gov.
w. H. alfalfa Bib Murray again
threw down the gauntlet today, this
time for a showdown in his fight to
force the major oil purchasing COM
panies to increase the price Of crude
oil to 81 barrel.
Although his threat to close wells in
all State prorated areas, except strip
per wells, had not been issued late this
afternoon, the Governor said 1t would
come If a price advance was not made
tonight.
OH men could only guess when it
would be issued, but in a race against
it, began early today to pump their
allowable August quota before the order
went into effect The Governor said
the delay in issuance was caused by a
necessity to redraft the edict.
At dawn, great valves were turned on
in a score of oil fields and frantic race
between throbbing pipeline currents and
time was on.
Get some oil while the getting is
good" was the slogan.
AS valves in fields all over the State
released the once precious BLACK gold
into pipelines, great quantities OF gas
Kissed into the air, never to be recov-
cred. The idea was to get the few
dollars that crude at its present low
price would bring before Murrays ex-
ecutive order should start the drastic
experiment that may determine whether
a Governor can bring needed price re-
lief through general closing in Of
wells.
In phrases OF unmistakable meaning,
Gov. Murray reiterated that his order,
when issued, WOULD be backed by troops
If necessary, with a possible test in the
United States Supreme Court to de-
termine whether the eleventh amend
ment still holds and whether State S
sovereignty may be violated"
