LEGISLATORS GET
GAS WASTE FIGHT.
Two Texas Groups Girding
for Finish Battle on
"Stripping' Law.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
AMARILLO, Tex, January S.
Wastage Of natural gas in the giant
Panhandle field today appeared likely
to constitute one of the most perplex-
ing problems faced by the forty-fourth
Texas Legislature, which convenes
Tuesday.
Two powerful groups-the Pan
handle Conservation Association and
operators of gasoline stripping"
plants-were prepared for fight to
the finish in the three-year contro-
versy over regulation.
Fight on stripping" Law
The crux of the fight was the
stripping" law. enacted by the last
Legislature, which enables Panhandle
gas producers, in the absence Of a
reasonable market outlet, to use Is
per cent of their production in the
manufacture of gasoline.
The Conservation Association
which, the operators assert, was spon-
sored by seven major pipeline COM
panies, charged that the stripping
plants waste enough gas each day
about 069,838, 900 cubic feet-to meet
the daily consumption of the entire
United States.
Plants Only Recourse.
"Sure, we are wasting lots OF gas, "
said D. D. Harrington, whose company
is one of the largest operators in the
field. But gasoline plants are our
only recourse to keep the pipeline
companies from conhscating our
properties by drainage"
c. E. Weymouth, vice president OF
the Conservation Association, denied
that it was dominated by pipeline
companies, and said pipeline drain
age of outside properties was insig-
nificant "in comparison with the
drainage caused by stripping plants.

and since the defense made no effort
to introduce evidence of this sort, the
point could not have been reviewed by
the Court of Appeals in the normal
course of events The action OF the
Attorney General, therefore, in in
Producing this evidence in his state
ment to the court evoked considerable
comment among attorneys. The test
as made by the Department OF JUS
tice agents was favorable to the de-
PENDANTS.
Another interesting aspect of the
case is the conflict of views between
the Attorney General and the United
States Attorney in interpreting the
evidence in the briefs sumbitted to
the Court of Appeals. Some Of them
follow:
Opinions in Conflict.
Mr.. Cummings: 'The Attorney
General is of the opinion that the
evidence adduced at the trial did not
Justify a submission of the case to
the jury, and in view OF all the cir
cumstances involved, is satisfied that
the defendants are innocent Of the
crime of which they were convicted.
He. therefore, requests the court to
reverse the judgment"
Mr.. Garnett-In the face of the
facts thus developed, it is difficult
to perceive how it can be argued that
there was not made out a case suf-
ficient to carry the case to the jury.
There are too many circumstances
involving these appellants which can
not be dismissed lightly. All these
circumstances so tightly involve the
appellants as to demand, trumpet
tongued, that the case 60 to the jury.
That the courts action in submitting
the case to the jury was correct is
beyond question. The verdict OF the
Jury was amply warranted upon the
evidence, and the judgment should be
affirmed.
