DPS Chief Reveals Threats to Oil Probe Pressure
Texas DPS Director Homer Garrison confirms Railroad Commission chair W. J. Murray reported informal threats aimed at stopping the crooked oil well investigation. Murray says operators in East Texas have hired a private investigator and that rumors about his integrity circulated while he defended the probe’s start and cited lax oversight after May 1961. The inquiry has run nearly 60 inclination surveys with 37 wells deviating beyond the allowed 3 degrees.
