Baytown Officer seeks tougher law on roaming dogs
Baytown humane officer R. H. Erwin seeks amendment to 1947 city ordinance to forbid dogs running loose within city limits. He cites recent incidents of dogs dragging children from bicycles and biting them. If approved, the measure would require dogs to be chained or penned and owners to leash dogs when outside pens, with action planned for the April City Council meeting. The current rules require rabies vaccination and a city license but do not prohibit roaming.

Texas Railroad Commission member Ernest Thompson told the House Interstate Commerce committee that continued federal control of natural gas producers slows new source development for gas and oil. He warned this could push prices higher as he urged excluding gas producers from Federal Power Commission jurisdiction, a measure supported by Commission Chairman Jerome Kuykendall who argues it would lower consumer prices despite possible brief price bumps during transition.

Congress weighs Texas City smelter stay and rubber plant sales
A bill to extend operation of the Texas City smelter beyond June 30 is introduced in Congress. A House vote defeats a resolution by Rep. Wright Patman opposing a $30 million sale of three California rubber plants to Shell. The broader plan to sell 24 plants to major oil, rubber, and chemical firms for $285.4 million proceeds unless vetoes intervene. Doyle defends the California sale as legal under a "one package" bid, while Putman warns it would consolidate control of synthetic rubber and harm smaller producers.
