Petroleum Coordinator Ickes denounced the Texas Railroad Commission for allowing 1,402,038 barrels of crude oil and natural gasoline daily in May, well above his 960,000 barrel recommendation, calling it a serious blow to the war program. He warned officials and producers that the decision could have grave consequences.

Sadler Defends Texas Oil Order Amid Ickes Criticism
In Austin on May 18 Petroleum Coordinator Harold Ickes criticized the Texas Railroad Commission for allowing Texas to produce over 1.4 million barrels daily for May. Commissioner Jerry Sadler, who signed the order, said he did so to ensure war contracts are filled and offered to correct any mistake. Commissioner Olin Culberson declined comment while Chairman Ernest Thompson was in Washington for a Florida oil pipeline hearing. Sadler and Culberson argued there was no need to slash May production to 960000 barrels, warning small operators could face bankruptcy.
