the administration-indorsed public
utility regulation bill offered recently
in the Texas House. Sixty-one legal
size pages long, it covered every sub
ject relating to public utilities, from
organization to operation and dis
solution.
DR.. Montgomery was selected by
Gov. James v. Alfred to prepare a
bill embracing the Governors ideas.
The professor has been interested for
years in public utility regulation.
particularly as it concerns Texas, and
has conducted extensive research into
the question.
Is Familiar Figure.
He is familiar figure in legislative
halls. Most of his appearances have
been on utility matters, but he also
has appeared at request of committees
to discuss other economic problems of
government.
To DR.. Montgomery the preparation
of the administration bill was one OF
his crowning achievements. In private
discussions he revealed it had been
an ambition for Is years to whip into
shape regulatory measure.
The bill, according to its author,
represents the best thought in America
on the controversial question OF
utility legislation. He spent weeks
reading reports of the Federal Trade
Commission and other special boards
established to inquire into different
phases of utility operations.
Several sections we're written into
the bill after lengthy consultation
with Government experts at Wash
ington. One feature which attracted
wide interest was the section devoted
to State control over out-of-State
holding companies operating in Texas
through subsidiaries.
Would Go Outside State.
The bill would declare subject to
State regulation any foreign corpora
ton that rendered legal, managerial
engineering or financial services to a
Texas-chartered company.
Members agreed the bill was one
of the most far reaching ever intro
duced in the Legislature on any SUBJ
ject.
That Gov. Alfred intends to throw
the full weight of his administration
behind the. bill in conformity with
his campaign pledge to regulate public
utilities is clearly indicated. A few
nights before the bill was introduced
Gov. Alfred invited group of men,
bers to the mansion to hear an ex-
planation of the measure by DR.. Mont
gomery He continued this procedure
until virtually every member of the
house had been reached.

- Transfer of an ancient Chinese
industry to the Gulf Coast
i looms as a possibility with the
awakening interest in tung
tree culture.
Tung trees. grown only in China
until comparatively recently. now
flourish on a narrow strip extending
along the Gulf of Mexico from Florida
to Texas and reaching inland so to go
miles.
Tung oil, used extensively in the
manufacture of paints, varnlsheS and
similar products, is extracted from the
dried tung nuts.
Ford Plans Experiments.
A 7-year-old orchard will produce
annually about to 3 tons of dried
nuts per acre. They sell at prices
ranging from $40 to $50 a ton at the
crushing mills. At least two crushing
plants are planned in the South, one
at Bogalusa, La, another at Cairo. Ga.
Henry Ford, who owns an 10000
acre plantation near Savannah, Ga,
has let it be known that he intends to
make extensive experiments with tung
oil production within the next few
years in a 200-acre orchard he will
plant this season.
Meanwhile, the Federal Emergency
Relief Administration is investigating
the possibility of using tung culture as
another means of bringing relief to
distressed farmers and others who
might turn to the growing of the trees
as a subsistence project.
Some claim the first tung tree in
America was planted near Pensacola
ins1906. Extensive orchards now are
growing in Florida, Georgia, Alabama,
Mississippi, Louisiana and Texas.
j. B. Wight of Cairo, Ga, claims to
have the largest tung tree in the
world. Standing 35 feet high with a
limb spread of about 40 feet, its aver
age annual production is more than
200 pounds of nuts.
S10,000,O00 Imports.
Wight was one of the first farmers
to see the probability of profitable
tung oil industry in this country. He
was instrumental in forming the first
cooperative association for tung
growers in the United States and has

being held in the guardhouSe at
the post pending completion Of an
investigation into the critical
wounding of Mrs. John Costello.
SO, who was found seriously

Mrs. Costello, with a 38-caliber
bullet wound in her brain. was re-
ported to be slightly improved to-

Officers at the post said today
that Justice agents had virtually
convinced themselves that the
shooting was the result of an at
tempted suicide and would prob
ably order Mr.. CoStelo's release
following a conference with the
United States Attorney today.
Sheriff Eppa Kirby, who made
an early investigation of the case
and then turned it over to Army

the woman had attempted suicide
several times.
Mr.. Costello, a civilian employe

Sheriff Kirby he heard a shot

body down the stairway. He was
at the supper table. Rushing to
the hallway, he found his wife
slumped on the floor at the foot
of the stairs with a pistol nearby
on the floor.

PLAN
AWAITS LONG
PLANNING

CONTINUED from Local PGge)
brief paragraph 9 of the recon.
mendations of the board to the
President should be reprinted:
I'VE recommend pointing Fed
eral policy toward regrOuping
the field districts used by the
numerous U. S. agencies NOW
involving some 1OS different ar
rangementS of districts with as
high as 73 agencies in some
centers) in the direction Of
achieving a limited number of
regional centers, say 10 to H."
This affects practically every
city in the country where there
is a Fedearl building or Federal
office of any Sort-eXcept Wash
ington.
One of the favorite winter
sports in Congress for years has
been to get some department or
bureau to establish a brand-new
office in someone's Congressional
district.
Offices Widely Scattered
So the Federal government is
scattered all over the U, S. A,
In many large cities you will
find Federal offices in the Federal
Building, generally housing the
post office. In others you find
everything from the income tax
collectors office down to the
Bug Bureau scattered around in
rented offices here and there.
They all report to Washington.
The idea of the report of the
Natural Resources Board is to
wipe out about a hundred of
these tiny Federal units and
group them in the central cities
in the various natural American
regions.
New England is a natural re-
gion; the Central States is an
other. the Southern States, the
Great Lakes region, intermountain
region, the Great Plains, ETC.,
all are natural geographic and.
in many instances, complete eco
nomic sectors.
The American Liberty League
took the National Resources Board
seriously enough to issue a state
ment declaring that "it is not, of
course. surprising that /exponents
of and apologists foT the New
Deal should favor the establish
ment of more capitals in which
to house their armies of tax-eating
bureaucratS."
The statement continued:
Washington has grown rap
idly during the past few years.
but its facilities are rapidly be-
coming inadequate for the horde
of play boy experimenterS on
the banks of the Potomac"

Among we'll known veteran en-
ployes of the Government service
in Washington is Mrs. Mamie V.

Mrs. Lyddane, who is a Wash

1919, accepting a berth with the

ago, when she shifted to loans and
currency.
The veteran employe has been
