OIL FAMINE IS NEARING; WELLS REMAIN CLOSED (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) of refineries are fast being depleted. It was said major oil companies had in storage oil equal to about four days’ production of the East Teocas field along. Many smaller refineries ami independent filling stations were closed. Governor Murray said four or ' five refiners have told him they I would have to close almost at once ' for lack of crude. The Morgan I Petroleum Company, which two; days ago offered to pay 77 cents I a barrel if Murray would reopen the Oklahoma fields, raised its offer to 79 cents. Governor Murray told all who broached the price subject to him that he would discuss sl-a-4>arrel for oil and nothing less. He told refiners to get together and offer that price, and he would open a section of the field to provide for their needs. Governor Sterling said no one approached him about prices, and I that he expected to keep the East I Texas field closed until the railj road commission was able to en- • force the new conservation law. As yet there have been no price changes of importance resulting I from the shutdown. In Texas one sale of oil was made for 53 cents a barrel, but prices in general remained at the 20 to 25-cent level | existing prior to the shutdown. In j Oklahoma 52 cents was the stand- < ard price. i Neither governor showed any I disposition to withdraw his forc- | es. Muriav had only a few men patrolling the Oklahoma areas, but 1,200 Texas guardsmen, directed l by Brig. Gen. Jacob Wolters, conI tinned an active patrol among the j derricks of the East Texas area. ; From Kansas came word that lhe shutdown would be extended to fields of that state, whore more than 2,000 wells would be affected. o ( HINA FLOODS INCREASING (CONTINUED FORM PAGE ONE) be taken.
