He would not say who pulled
the trigger, however, saying
that Cherris was killed when
he was reaching for his pistdl.
McGanegal said the killings
resulted from a split in the
ranks of the holdup gang that
had worked the Southwest for
more than a year, and he want-
ed to join hands with Jack
Jones in "turning up’ ’the gang
that Jellied "Keggy" Jones.
Jack Jones had told officers
the same story as McGanegal,
but this was the first bit of
corroboration they had been
able to obtain.

AUSTIN, Sept 25 (UP)—Gov-
ernor Ross Sterling today opened
oil legislation to the special ses-
sion of the Texas Legislature. He
submitted the "co-operative mar-
keting of unrefined natural petro-
leum and its distribution” for con-
sideration.
A bill providing for organiza-
tion of oil producers along lines
similar to agricultural marketing
associations was attached to the
message.
Governor Sterling, himself, was
absent when the topic was sub-
mitted to the Legislature. His
office reported they did not know
where he was. Members of the
Legislature had heard he had gone
to Houston.
The Governor’s message said:
"It has been suggested that if
a law patterned after the law reg-
ulating co-operative marketing
was passed it would greatly aid in
the elimination of speculation and
waste, and would possibly stabil-
ize marketing problems of the
producer of unrefined natural pe-
troleum. __

Governor Sterling Says Cotton
Fields Provide Partial Rem-

AUSTIN, Sept. 25 (UP)—Cot-
ton picking was prescribed today
by Gov. Ross Sterling as a par-
tial remedy for Texas7 unemploy-
ment program. He advised cities
and towns to send their jobless
scores into the dotton fields.
“It might be well for city of-
ficials and charitable organisa-
tions handling the unemployment
problem to investigate the 'cases
being handled so that those who
are really looking for employment
can. b« put in touch with rural
communities in need of cotton
pickers," the Governor said.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 25 (UP)
—Government economists foresaw
today a prospect of decided im-
provement in business through
fall buying.
To assist Secretary of Com-
merce Julius Klein the most en-
couraging factor is stability in the
price curve. He said thirl reflects
a balance that Jias not hitherto
been manifest in the depression
and links up directly with antici-
pations of revived buying.
"The remarkable balance that
the price curve has maintained
for several weeks is highly in-
teresting,” he said. “This has not
happened before in the time since
the crash came in October, 1929.
Since then, up to a few weeks ago,
the price curve was gyrating.”
This seems to Dr. Klein to sig-
nify renewed confidence, both on
the part of business and the con-
sumer. The plunges of the price
curve, he said, represent a nerv-
ousness and reflect the throwing
of_ goods on the market at any
price. ' That sort of psychology
seems to have disappeared.
With a considerable volume of
buying almost imperative for fall
and winter necessities, retailers
must replenish their shelves. Dr.
Klein pointed out. This should
stimulate manufacturing indus-
tries.
The weather has held off buy-
ing, but with the chill of October
In the air officials here expect a
real stimulus to busings in the
next-few weeks.
