prices rallied today. wiping out all

Loss Of Foreign Markets
Brings Crisis to Industry
GIutted With Product
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
AUSTIN, Tex. June 10. - Texas
oil reserve tanks are almost brimful
and her foreign markets are near
collapse She faces a possible 30
day shutdown of her $4,000 oil wells.
The Railroad Commission, oil reg
ulatory body, is studying situa-
ton similar to that last summer,
when a 15-day shutdown was Or
dered to bolster falling prices
Commissioner Jerry Sadler said:
I'm not personally in favor of
a general shutdown, but the COM
mission needs to be shown in a
clear-cut manner where it should
impose cuts
Il want to know exactly where
production will be bought. Unless
purchasers are willing to show me
how much they need ana where
they'll buy it, will recommend a
30-day shutdown"
Buyers were to present nominal
tlonS for crude purchases today.
Against the shutdown order,
which could be issued by two of the
three commissioners, stood the
States oil men. Almost to a man
they oppose complete shutdown,
but admit something is needed or
the tanks will be filled soon.
Fields that have been producing
excess oil for export have continued
pumping it even though markets
have not been available.
Commission Chairman Lon Smith.
although previously committed to
the possibility of a shutdown, said
after oil men appeared before the
commission that there may be no
necessity for a complete turmoil
The third commissioner, Ernest
o. Thompson, said there is no need
for an extended general shutdown.

Two OF the men were roughly

they were soon released, this indig-

Admiral Mayo Immediately dis
patched his famous demand that
the Mexican government Publicly
hoist the American flag on a prom
lnent place on shore and salute it
with 81 guns, which salute will be
duly returned by this ship"
Several days passed, during which
the jingoes and chauvinists scream
ed loudly for war. Nothing was done,
Little could be done, mostly be-
cause the Mexican government
was in such turmoil that it was diff
cult to determine which was the
responsible party. Despite Admiral
Mayos ultimatum the situation
might have been settled, if not
amicably at least without bloodshed,
except for developments at Vera
cruz.
The threatened occupation of
Tampico never materialized. In
stead, the ships sailed for verscfuz,
a sudden and new theater of inter-
est. Why the Marines weren't put
ashore at Tampico where the insult
occurred, was never asked by the
satisfied public.
At Veracruz a real threat to otr

VeracruZ. She carried in her hold a
matter of 200 machine guns and
100000 rounds of ammunition.
This cargo of death was consigned
to the Mexican government.
No element of this situation was
secret to our State Department. For
months operatives had watched that
cargo. They had followed it from
New York, halfway around the
world, saw it transferred to another
vessel and cleared for Mexico.
Technically it was not contraband.

through the glass wall in front of

the busy loading platforms. At the

his luggage in a small opening be-
meath the counter surface, the
bottom of which forms a scale
tray. AS the passenger receives his

his luggage, its weight noted by the

Illuminated signs indicate at
which one of the four loading sta

easily visible from all parts of the
waiting room and the plane itself
can be seen over the heads of the
spectators on the promenade a few
feet below. To the south of the
terminal building a graded road
permits cars to reach the field
level for aged and infirm or crippled
passengers who may require wheel
chair service.
AS he leaves the terminal building
through one of the four exits to
the field, the passenger finds his

a movable inclosed canopy leading
directly to the loading door, provid-
ing complete shelter from wind or
