MILII GUARDS OKLAHOMA WELLS * Col. Murray’s New Order Fol lows Charge of Illegal Production of Oil. Br the Associated Press. OKLAHOMA CITY. October 2—The military lid on Oklahoma's flush oil wells was pounded down vigorously yesterday and National Guardsmen again were ordered into the cluster of great gushers on the doorstep of Okla homa City to keep It in place. New orders of Lieut. Col. Cicero I. Murray, generalissimo of the martial law shutdown effected nearly two months ago by his cousin, Gov. William H. Murray, particularly hushed what operations remained in the Oklahoma City field. The orders followed charges of royalty owners of illegal produc tion and oil runs under the cover of night. Gov. Murray has signified his inten tion of keeping the wells closed until oil prices increase to a dollar a barrel. Late In the day Adjt. Gen. Charles F. Barrett assigned seven National Guard officers to night motor patrol in the field. For weeks the shutdown has been enforced by State and oil com pany civilian officers, without the ac tual presence of the military. Taking enforcement into his own hands. Col. Murray directed: 1 — An almost complete shutdown of Oklahoma City field production, bar ring completion of testing of wells or any production except under emergency conditions and with the sanction of the commanding officer. 2 Discontinuation of pumping from atorage cr flow tanks at night. 3 Shutdown of the Carr City pool in Seminole County with the exception of three leases and a warning to Semi nole area operators that if any except leases exceed their allowable flow un der the military order at the time of the next report the leases will be shut down.
