Roosevelt to receive oil code with minor changes
Washington reports Indications that the oil industry's NRA code will go to President Roosevelt after slight revisions. Hugh S. Johnson said the code to be sent today may include a technical change to production quotas proposed by Texas official F O Thompson, replacing “allocate” with “recommend.” Texas railroad commissioner Thompson urged a recommendation approach while preserving federal authority to stop shipments. In Austin, Texas, Railroad Commissioners Lon A. Smith and C. V. Terrell pledged full cooperation with Roosevelt and urged the federal government to consider the industry’s scope, with a state hearing set for August 21 to determine allowable Texas oil production.
