Price Gains Help,

AUSTIN, Tex, November P.-
Texas oil men started producing less
petroleum and paying more taxes this
week, but some of them we're appeased
by price raises of S cents a barrel on
crude.
Major purchases boosted prices IN
several Southwest Texas areas and the
Talco field in Northeast Texas. Pro-
ducers were hopeful these might be
the forerunners of other increases.
Allowable Texas production was cut
back approximately 100000 barrels
daily to 1.109 $50 barrels, effective No
vember /. Well competitions this
month will send it considerably above
that figure. but the allowable at the
end of the month will not be as large
as the basic allowable fol October I'M
less the Railroad Commission changes
its order.
Uncertain on Future.
Oil men hesitated to predict what
the commission would do in succeeding
months. The States regulating agency
did not follow the recommendation of
the United States Bureau of Mines in
October, but fixed the November basic
figure within the bureaus estimate of
market demand for Texas production.
Producers were hopeful the Texas
allowable could be kept at least as high
as at present notwithstanding that De-
cember, January and February usually
are the poorest months for gasoline
consumption.
Noting the States approximately
66,700 producing wells and new ones
being brought in at the rate of around
800 a month, they commended Texas
could not stand much deeper cut.

FOREIGN PROPERTY
{ SAFE, MADRID SAYS
Spanish Government Denies Con.
fscation Planned, Cites
Responsibility.

y the Associated Press.
The Spanish Embassy said in q
statement yesterday that Spanish
government seizures of foreign prop
erty were only temporary.
Directing attention to what was
termed Madrid's financial RESPONSE
bility, the embassy said:
THE Spanish government has re-
peatedly announced to the world that
no misgivings should be entertained
with reference to foreign property
holdings in Spain"
> due to the immediate requirements
Of fighting the rebellion, 1t has been
necessary to temporarily confiscate
some foreign plants, but, In so doing,
the action has not represented In any
manner an appropriation.
"As q sideline to this question. 1t
may be of interest to study the finan-
cial responsibility Of the Spanish gov
ernment."
The statement then quoted Federal
Reserve Board figures to show Spain
had in excess Of $700. .000, 900 in gold
holdings as of the end Of May, 1896,
and said this represented q coverage
of 4O.5 per cent on its note circula-
ton, based on gold par below the de-
valuation of the dollar.
At present market quotations for
gold, 1t added, this coverage would be
much greater.

The Republicans are paying a great

for seats in the House. They realize
that it is essential, If Landon is to

publicans are still most anxious to

The government OF the State Of
Ohio" says Bricker, has been turned

The press OF the State is almost
sohdly against Davey for reelection
as Governor. The Scripps- Howard
newspapers. for example, which are
supporting Roosevelt more strongly
than any other newspaper in the
State, are doing their best to beat
Davey. The newspaper polls. which
show Roosevelt in the lead for Presi-
dent over Landon, show Bricker more
strongly ahead of Davey in the guber-
material race. The Columbus Dispatch
poll gives Bricker 63.2 per cent Of
the straw vote to 36.8 per cent for
Davey, and the Scripps-Howard poll
is almost as strongly pro-Bricker. And
the great rural districts of the State,
believed to be Republican, are still

Republican and Democratic charges
Of undue political activity In Penn

fighting, lay before the Senate Cam

meeting.
Senator Lonergan, Democrat, OF
Connecticut. chairman Of the commit
tee, said q complaint Of Senator Davis.
Republican. of Pennsylvania. that
w. P. A. funds had served partisan
political purposes" in the Keystone
State would be considered by the
committee.
The Davis complaint was followed
up last night by Chairman John d.
M. Hamilton of the Republican Ma
tional Committee, who issued an open
letter to Lonergan using the term
1.-The debauch Of Pennsylvania by the
New Deal"
Intimidation Charged.
Also before the committee was .
Democratic complaint that employees
of the Carnegie Illinois and the Jones
& Laughlin Steel Cos. had been in
timidated politically. The charges
we're made by David L. Lawrence,
secretary of the Commonwealth Of
Pennsylvania and chairman Of the
State Democratic Committee.
The committee was expected to
hear preliminary reports from investi-
gators in the Pittsburgh area on the
charges of intimidation Of steel EN-
ployes.
A fundamental decision on
whether the committee inquiry should
be limited to spending Of campaign
funds or should cover Republican
charges that the Works Progress
Administration had been used to in
fluence ENTHUSIASTICALLY in Penn
sylvania-might result from the meet
ing, Lonergan indicated.
Investigators to Report.
Investigators reports on Michigan,
Maine and Pennsylvania were to come
before the committee. and Lonergan
said the charge of Senator vanden-
berg, Republican. of Michigan that
the Government frank had been il
legally used on mail in the Michigan
primary campaign would be con-
sidered.
Robert Jefferys, committee secre.
tary, said the committee expected to
schedule the first Of q series of public
hearings after deciding on the scope
Of the inquiry.
Hamilton, in an open letter to
Lonergan, charged New Deal cor
ruption" in Pennsylvania and said:
If circumstances were not SO
tragic, there would be a certain
sardonic humor in the deliberation of
your committee in Washington as to
whether you should undertake an
investigation Of the situation in Penn
sylvania."
Lonergan said last night he had not
received the letter.

throughout the length and breadth"
Of Pennsylvania, Hamilton said:
The helpless unemployed, the
destitute and the hungry are being
victimized by New Deal bureaucrats,
who demand political allegiance Is
the price of bread"
He asked whether the Senate group
has the temerity to ignore the evi-
dence of corruption by Federal and
State oficeholders, which is lying in
its lap, and at the same time send
its detectives into the State TO in-
vestigate what may or may not have
been done by private industry"

the national House Of Representa- tives.
Even Democratic leaders privately ad-
NIT that they cannot hope to hold the
present ratio of party strength in the
congressional delegation. The present
delegation is made up Of 16 Demo-
Gratis. s Republicans, and there are
two vacancies, both formerly held by
Democrats. 1t is expected the Re-
publicans will hold their own in their
present congressional districts and
take from four to eight districts now
Democratic, and possibly both the at
large seats in the House.
Some Republicans Assured.
The first and second congressional
districts will. it is expected. re-elect
the Republican incumbents, Repre-
sentatives John B. Hollister and VIII
liam E. Hess. In the third district,
Robert N. Brumbaugh. Republican, is
likely to defeat Representative Byron
B. Harlan. Democrat. The fourth and
fifth districts, now Democratic, are
regarded as doubtful" The sixth
district, now represented by Repre-
sentative James G. Polk. Democrat,
may go to Emory F. Smith, Republic
can. Representative L. T. Marshall,
Republican, is expected to be re-
elected in the seventh district In the
eighth district, Grant E. Mouser, Re-
publican. Is given the edge over Rep
resentative Brooks Fletcher, Demo-
crat. Mouser, incidentally has the
backing of the Townsend old-age pen
sioners. The ninth district, the To-
ledo district, will elect . Democrat,
John r. Hunter, and the Republicans
are expected to re-elect Representa-
tive Thomas A. Jenkins in the tenth
district.
The Democrats will continue to
hold the eleventh district eiecting
H. X. Claypool. In the twelfth district.
the chances are for the election of
Grant p. Ward. Republican, over Rep
resentative Arthur P. Lamneck. Demo-
crat. In the thirteenth district, now
Democratic, the Republicans stand .
good chance to elect Dudley A. White,
Republican. The fourteenth district
is the Akron district, and Representa-
tive Dow w. Harter, Democrat, Is
opposed there by Carl d. Sheppard,
Republican. 1t is put down as .
doubtful district.
Kenneth c. Ray, Republican, is
given a good chance to win the
fifteenth district over Representative
Robert +. Secrest, Democrat. The
sixteenth district, represented by
Representative Thom, Democrat, Is
another doubtful district, although
It Is reported to be leaning Repub-
lican. In the seventeenth district,
the Democrats seem to have the bet
ter chance. It IL represented by

Johnstown. The eighteenth district
Is expected to 60 to Earl r. Lewis,
Republican. It is now represented by
Lawrence Z. Imhon, Democrat.
Representative John q. Cooper, Re-

block at the most, and as you draw
near the scattered fires you can't see
more than so to 100 feet.
The fire makes a red glow through
the smoke pail, which is so dense
that it would be impossible to tell
whether it was day or night unless
you had watch.
The mental attitude of the people,
besides being depressed by the holo-
caust at Bandon, is aggravated by
the smoke. 1t makes your throat feel
as though it had been filed and your
eyes suffer from extreme irritation.
An automobile cannot travel more
than 10 miles an hour in the worst
smoke areas.
Fire Everywhere
There Is fire everywhere-slong
the gulleys beside the roads. brandish-
ing out Of the tops Of trees. 1t is a
scene that gives you feeling Of dread
and the faces Of the people plainly
reflect it."
While the main fire was in the
Bandon sector, scattered blazes
stretched far up the Oregon coast
and down into California.
Historic stands of redwood timber
in California. product of ancient times,
were threatened by the fire. which
probably menaced a million acres all
told. How many acres had been
burned was guesswork, so scattered
were the fires and so great the terri
tory in which they we're burning.
The greatest damage thus far had
occurred at Bandon, where unofiicial
estimates placed the loss at 81 500 600,
and at Oregon House. in Northern
California, which was wiped out with
an unofiicial estimated loss Of $500 900.
Any sharp change in the wind would
prove disastrous to q dozen Of the
Southern Oregon coast cities, including
Marshfield and North Bend, sister
communities, which have total popu-
lation of 10000.
The dead at Bandon were identified
as Mrs. Tom Hill. Daniel Kountz, Mrs.
Charles McCulloch. sister of Kountz;
George williams. John Rieder (tenta-
tive) and Jack Bailey. who was killed
fighting the flames. One body re-
manned unidentified.
Many Are Injured.
An undetermined number were in
jured, but none was believed in .
serious condition. although exact re-
ports were dificult to obtain.
Residents of the stricken port city
were evacuated. Some residents found
refuge in homes of relatives in other
parts of the State. and others were
ouartered at Marshfield and Coouille,
while some remained on the beach.
Ofiicers investigated reports a FIRE
bug was responsible for the Bandon
blaze. Matt Coy. chief Of police at
Marshfield. said he found kerosene
soaked rags in the area between
Marshfeld and North Bend. and other
rass were reported found at Bandon.
Other officials said the flames might
easily have resulted from the ex-
tremely low humidity and careless
campers, lighting, or burning Of
slashines following logging operations.
Supplies Rushed 70 Area.
Supplies were being rushed to the
stricken area from Rosebug. 100
miles east Of here. the Rosebrg read
being the only route Of entry. Burned
