FATE UP TO
COMMITTEE
Etxas, Oklahoma And
California Offer
Opposition to Plan
Of Interference
WASHINGTON. April 18. <*»>—The
rate of legislation to further control
Si the gigantic oil Industry rested
rhursday with the senate mines sub
committee.
It had the responsibility of recom
mending to the full committee and
then to the senate that the Thomas
bill be passed, as indirectly suggested
by the White House, or permitting it
bo die without action, the goal of
Representatives of Texas. Oklahoma,
and California who expressed belief
Its enactment into law would Induce
unconstitutional Invasion of states'
lights
Short Delay Seen
Contemplating two days of testi
Bjpny in hearings on the proposal,
tne various oil interests wondered
how soon the sub-committee would
act. Chairman Thomas »1>-Utah>
Indicated Wednesday night he would
not tolerate delay but added that
Senators Bulow iLHSD) and Frasier
tR-NDi had other committee hear
ings Thursday winch would delay a
decision at least until Filday.
Thomas declined to amplify his
previous statement that U was sate
to assume the bill would be sonsid
ered lavorably in uew of the same
committees favorable action on the
Thomas-Disney bill in the last con
gress
There was no indication of the
senates attitude on the highly-con
troversial matter. President Roose
velt has expressed the wish however,
that the principle of a slighter
broader federal regulation ol crude
oli production be embodied in legis
lation before congressional adjourn
ment. It was considered possible he
might crack the whip over the sen
ate to obtain a favorable vote and
send the bill to the house. Opposing
factions there may causec onsitfcr
able delay in final disposition ol the
bill.
Senator Tnomas (D-Oklai who
introduced the bill, opened the hear
ings Tuesday with a plea for con
cessional approval.
Secretary Ickes, oil administrator,
followed with the statement that
problems involved in production
from the nation's vast crude oil re
sources were too great for any one
state or group of states to handle.
Governor Alf M. L&ndon of Kan
sas, and Senator Capper (R-Kasi
supported his contention.

C C Brown, speaking for Gover

the supply of crude entering inter

legality of the proposal.

Axtell J. Byles of New York, presi

this "suggested remedy is worse than
the disease" and "the question in

Thomas’ bill is designed to protect

BILL OPENS
NUECES BAY
Water Opened on Pact
Between Business and
Sport Interests
AUSTIN, April 16. {JPi—A senes of
bills which sponsors said would raise
millions of dollars In revenue with
out additional taxes continued to
engross the legislature Thursday.
They would attempt to prevent
evasions In the cigarette, beer, gaso
line, and gross production tax laws
and levy a tax on wholesalers and
retailers of medicinal whiskey.
Asserting they possibly could yield
$17,500,000 m revenue. Acting Gov
ernor Walter Woodul asked passage
in 48 hours. A short time later both
houses suspended parliamentary in
hibitions in order to consider them.
The first contest developed over
efforts to increase the tax on oil pro
duction from to six cents per barrel,
the proposal being offered in the
form of an amendment to a bill in
tended to stop evasions of the tax.
It went down temporarily on a point
of order.
A storm which had brewed over
the proposed opening of coastal wa
ters from Galveston to Point Isabel
to commercial fishing puffed away
Wednesday night.
The house Game and Fish com
mittee reported favorably a bill
opening only certain waters in Aran
sas, Refugio and Nueces counties,
which made it a local instead of a
general bill. A sub-commltee said
commercial and sport fishermen In
those counties had agreed and they
believed no bill could be passed else
where without such agreement.
The waters opened were about one
half of Copano bay and all of Nueces
Bay. Use of nets during the spawn
ing season of trout, the months of
April. May and June, was forbidden
Another subject of controversy, the
bill creating a department of pub
lic safety, was sent to a conference
committee after the senate reiused
to concur in house provisions A
criminal identification and finger
printing bureau would be establish
ed.
Because of several amendments
added In the senate, the house $10,
000,000 rural school aid and equali
zation bill also faced the probability
of going to a conference commit
tee.
The house sent 20 more bills to the
senate in a night session to lighten
ihe load of its heavily burdened cal
endar but adding greatly to the con
gestion in the senate.
One of the bills would prohibit
employment of persons under 18 in
Gispensing beer. Sponsors said the
existing law was ambiguous and that
oefore a conviction could be had it
was necessary to prove beer dis
pensing was the prinicpal business
of the establishment.
The house also passed bills to ex
tend the Jim Crow law to busses,
to require that only whole milk be
used in the manufacture of powder
ed milk, to provide for examination
of statewide mutual assessment as
'cclations by the insurance commis
«'"n and to authorize the highway de
rtment to remove and reconstruct
dges blocking construction of the
accactal canal.

TUBAL—CAIN
The management of the Capitol
theatre announces the showing of
“Tubal-Cain” a Technlcolo fea
turette in connection with the fea
ture attraction on Friday and Sat
urday of this week.
This featurette has won the praise
of all who have seen it.
‘•Tubal-Caln^’ as its title denotes,
is a Biblical picture, based on the
23rd Psalm.
While the time of showing is only
about 20 minutes, the picture, in
technicolor, and with William Far
num in the title role, presents scenes
of surpassing beauty and pastoral
tranquility. Its theme grows out of
the wish of a little girl, who has just
heard ‘The Shepherd’s Song.” to
learn the story of the famous psalm
Tubal-Cain, who is shown carving
the words of the psalm on to a rock,
takes up the theme, which is there
upon portrayed in a series of scenes
While the subject is of deep religious
significance, its development is ac
complished so naturally that the ef
fect produced on the audience is
that which true art invariably ach
ieves, regardless of the religious af
filiation of the individual onlooker.
CAPITOL
Gay, fanciful and Parisian to the
core. "Folies Bergere.” Darryl F.
Zanuck's lavish 20th Century musi
cal extravaganza, starring Muarice
Chevalier. shows Friday and Satur

mood and its settings, as well as its
name, from the Parisian musical in
stitution, marks the personable
French star’s first appearance under
the 20th Centurv banner, as well as
his first dual roie.
Chevalier is seen both as Charlier
the singing, straw-hatted star of
Polies Bergere. and as an amorous,
be-mustached, be-monccled French
baron whom he impersonates in his
act.

WORKERS TURN
ON PICKETERS
SAN ANTONIO, April 18. t#h
Workers at the Finck Cigar factory
here, who have been subjected to at
tacks since a large body of their
fellow-workers went on strike a
month ago, turned on their tormen
tors Thursday and drove pickets and
their sympathizers from the strike
area.
Despite the presence of a large
body of police and deputy sheriffs
in ' the district. workers rushed
from the factory at a given signal
and fell upon the strikers, ripping
their sign-boards to bits.
Officers soon gained the upper
hand and the strikers retreated, and
picketing was at least temporarily
halted for the first time in weeks.
The strike started over a penalty
assessed writers ror dm cigars.
Strikers claimed they lost credit faf
four good cigars for each unsatis
factory one. Former ratios, they
claimed, ranged from one to three
to one. Factory officials have de
clined to give ratios.
