* August's oil proration hear-
ing of the Texas Railroad Conimis-
Sinn uncoi kod a number of laughs
interspersed with !tu acrioua busi-
ness.
' The result of the recent Texas
i lection gave Patrick J. Hurley of
Tulsa, former secretary of war In
a Republican administration an
opportunity for a snrippy '•come-
back" at Col. Ernest O. Thompson,
member of the commission.
Hurley had made a long flag-
Waving address as a part ot his
argument that democracy cin op-
crate successfully.
•'What are you running for,
Pat?" inquired Colonel 'Thompson.
'Thank you, Colonel," rej.led
Hurley "I am sorry I didn't have
an opportunity to slip that' to you ,
before you ran for governor."
Raymond Buck of Fort Worth
had commissioners Thompson and
Berry Sadler laughing with the
crowd when he told the two de-
feated candidates for governor: "I
"agree the commissioners ought to
remain in the commission, like a
{Treat majority of th'c voters
thought;"
Buck 'tytts among many others
pmmci^ding the Texas Commis-
sion for its handling of oil matters
ar,< 1. announcing preference for
state control as opposed to federal
regulation.

E Commissioners joined in an-
other laugh, but not quite so
heartily, when Hines Baker of
Houston was induced to read cor-
respondence between C. A. Lester
of Dallas and \V. S. Farish of
New York over oil imports Baker
demurred at reading Lester's let-
ter to Farish protesting against oil
Imports but was urged to go a-
hcad. He jlid, and part of the let-
ter commented on "rotten, anta-
gonistic" oil administration.
President J. S. Blair of Citi-
zens Life Insurance Co.. of
Wichita Falls at a meeting
here last night with his agents
announced C. E. Finchci and
Owen Kelley would represent
the company here. Agents
were present front Ranger,
Cisco, Throckmorton, East-

ley Jones, district agent said.
T AKER was quiaed at length by
Hurley, counscl for Harry 1 .
Sinclair, on oil imports of the
Standard Oil Company of New-
Jersey. Standard owns a majority
of stock of Humble Oil & Refining
^company i«f whicn Baker is a di-
rector.
Commissioner Jerry Sadler inter-
posed to ask if John I>. Rocke-
feller was not a stockholder in
Standard Oil. Baker "presumed"
(was. Then Salller turned to
rielair and asked him if the
name of Rockefeller did not ap-
pear among stockholders ot the
Sinclair companies. Sinclair agreed
the names ctf several Rockefellers
would be in the list.
"This seems to me like an argu-
ment among kill folks" Sadler com-
mented.
"Kinfolks .frequently disagree",
replied Sinclair.

Senate To Vote
On Guard Bill
Of Mobilization
Action Will Clear Way
To Vote Tomorrow
On Conscription
WASHINGTON, Aug. S. —
The senate agreed to vote late to-
day on tlie bill to allow mobillza-
tiod of the national guard for oni
year training under a special rule
which will allow consideration to-
morrow on the conscription bill.
The mobilization bill would per-
mit President Roosevelt to plac"
360,000 National Guardsmen and
reservists in active service for as-
extended period, probably one
year.
Sen; Alva B. Adams, Dr., Colo.,
planned to offer an amendment
that would restrict thc use of
Guardsmen and reservists to the
United States, its territories and
possessions. The bill in its pres-
ent form would permit the man
being sent to any point in thc
western hemisphere.
Administration leaders thought
that this propcsal might start a
full discussion of administration
foreign policy and bring demands
for a statement of thc territory
thc United States intends to de-
fend should there he aggression
aimed at this hemisphere.

CHILD EVACUATION VOTED
WASHINGTON, Aug. 8. (U.R)
Thc Houst Wednesday voted over
whetmingly to send American
ships Into European war stoned to
rcmovc thousands of refugee chil
drcn. .mostly British, who await
an uncertain fate.
. The vote was on a hill by Rep-
resentative Thomas C. Hcnning.-r
<Dem.) of Missouri, who appealed
to his colleagues to shew "our tra
ditional disregard for the conse-
quences of a charitable deed
bravtly done."
The measure applying to chil-
dren under 16 of all nations
would amend the neutrality act
to permit the vessels to enter and
leave combat zon-s after nil belli-
gerents had given prior assurance
that they would not be molested.
The ships would proceed without
convoys and would be plainly
identified by large American
flags.
An amendment by Representa-
tive John C. Shafer (Rep.) of
Wiaconslg required that necessary
adult personnel accompanying
the children be composed of
American citizens. Another amend
ment by Representative John Ta-
bcr (Rep.) of New York would
make American citizens who ac-
cept refugee children personally
liable for their support.
Some cf the hazards were men-
tioned by Representative Earl C
Michenej; (Rep.) of Michigan. w'.JO
asked what would he th? attitude
of thc American people of one of
the' mercy ships were blown up
by a floating mine.
'This is the dpening wedge to
get us into war." he declared.
"Just as night follows day. this
will 'be, followed by other legisla-
tion that will get us into thc con-
flict unless wc are .mighty care-
ful."
Hc did not oppose thc bill, but
doubted that prerequisite guaran-
tees could be obtained from the
warring powers.
The measure Is Intended chiefly
(Continued oa page Four)
ly after development, or may lin-
ger ill for a week.
To assist in stamping out tiie
diseasc growers are asked to re-
port any animal sick, or death of
any animal from an unknown
cause. Bodies of animals that
have died should not be dragged
over thc ground, but should be
burned on the spot.
Klics, principally horse flics,
dogs, wolves, buzzards or any ani
mal or insect that cats th? meat
or drinks the blood of an infect-
ed animal may become a carrier
of the disease. Rabbits sometim-
es contract thc disease but they
do not move far and their spread
is not great. Human beings may
also contract the disease. Horses,
too. arc susceptible although so
far only cows have been found
infected.
It is a blood infection. some-
what resembling blood poisoning
although outward symptoms ar-
biter! nothing: more than taht the
animal is ill.
Dr. Cloud said hc will diagram
parts of thc county wherc he
finds evidences of thc disease, but
hc is hoping the situation can be
handled -without resorting to cjuar
antinc measures.

Planes Shot Down
As Germans Raid
Great Britain and Germany renewed furious air battling today
and the British prepared to make a stand against Italians in East
Africa. British claimed that 53 German planes w-erc shot down today
and Nazis said they downed 3*1 British planes, sunk 15 ships and dam-
aged eight others in addition to great destruction to land objectives,-
Thc attack was carried out with aid of German torpedo boats.
In East Africa, retreating British were reported -preparing for
defense in thc hills outside BerUera, Somaliiand, as Italians pressed
thc campaign against Aden, vital red sea po:t.
British admitted the less of tile's —
submarine Oswald in the Meditcr
ranean, and all crewmen except
three were captured by Italians.
Indian nationalists as well as-
Japanese caused concern in Lon-
don. Dissatisfaction was express-
ed over Indians seeking domin-
ion status before aiding the Bri-
tish war effort any further.
In Tokyo, 126 parliament mem-
bers prepared a resolution calling
for obliteration of all British in-
fluence in the Orient.
Italians advancing in British
Somaliiand in an apparent over-
ture to a great war of empire for
dominance in Africa liavc march-
ed into Zeila, a port on the Gulf
of Aden across from th0 British
protectorate of Aden, and cap'ur-
ed Hargeisa. British Somaliiand,
in strong force.
This was acknowledged Wed-
nesday by the British, along wltn
the Italian capture of a third t:>-
jeetive, the town of Oadweina, in
thc Somaliiand, while other and
much heaviei- Fascist forces were
massing in Libya for an attack
upon Britain's vital strongholds in
Egypt.
Zeila was declared to have been
Undefended.
All these moves suggested an
Italian campaign to occupy thc re-
gion of the southern outlet of the
Red Sea—an essential in British
Empire communications — before
the cxpcctcd assault on Egypt it-
self.
The British, outnumbered oa
land, but including some, of the
world's strongest desert troops,
proclaimed at the'ir middlc east-
ern headquarters here, that they
welcomed the slowdown, explor-
ing confidence that the British
navy would starve and cut off
Premier Benito Mussolini's Afri-
can soldiers in the end and de-
stroy his African dream.
Thc Italian forces facing Egypt
—the land of thc Suez Canal so
essential to the British wcie
concentrated near Bardia, Li.-ya.
The British declared officially
thc enemy had not set foot across
thc fronitier.

wind, hail, insetcts, flood, plant
diseases, or any other of the un-
avoidable hazards which makes
whtat farming such a ganibllng
proposition it was said at thc
county agents office.

filed an application on their 1940
wheat crop had an insured pro-
duction cf 26,000 bushels and of
