ASK SEVERAL CHANGES FROM
NEXT LEGISLATURE
WASHINGTON, Dec 7. <IP>—The
Kaw Indian tribe of which former
vice president C-tarles Curtis is a
member, has lost Its suit for $97,000,-
000 against the government.
The suit was dismissed by the court
of claims after tribesmen had failed
to prove the government responsible
for losses they sustained in selling
their lands to speculators.
The Indians charged that since they
were wards of the government, it
should be held responsible lor the
“ridiculously low" prices they received
for several million acres.

OKLAHOMA CITY. Dec. 7. (LP)—
The state corporation commission may-
ask several “new deal” laws of the
next legislature, for regulation of
utilities and oil production.
Reford Bond. Chiekasha, slated to
be next chairman of the commission,
said today he has been studying
problems of regulation with a view to
seeking definite measures to strength-
en the commission action
Bond probably will confer with A.
S. J. Shaw, Altus. who will become
a member of the commission next
month, and with commissioner J C.
Walton.
H? indicated that proration officials
and members of the commission will
seek a conference with Oov.-elect E.
W Marland to discuss changes In pro-
ration laws.
Some of the measures under con-
sideration, Bond revealed, are:
1. A law to permit the commission
to fix a utilities rate at what it be-
lieves to be a fair figure, pending
cutcome of Its investigation and rate
hearings Such a measure, It was
pointed out, would speed trial ot
cases, avoid technical delays, and a
method of adjustment would be pro-
vided for cases in which the final
rate stood above the temporary rig-1
ure fixed pending the investigation
and hearing
2 A measure, such as is now oper-
ative In Wisconsin, to force utilities
to pay expenses of Investigations con-
ducted by the commission. This
measure failed in the last regular
session, being killed In committee.
Commission funds lor extensive in-
vestigations are around $50,000 per
year, far below actual needs. It was
said.
3. Measures requiring utilities to
submit, on request, explanatory ma-
terial covering expenditures listed in
their portfolios and records.

League councillors, moving delicately i
because they feared a crisls-detonat- ]
ing dispute between the two across
the council table, hoped to arrange an
Investigation.
They hoped also to report on the
Hungarian protest against Jugoslavia's
expulsion ot Hungarian citizens.
It was planned to refer the assassin-
ation dispute to a special reporter, j
either Captain Anthony Eden of Great;
Britain or Salvador De Madariaga of
Spain, for a report to the January
council meeting.
This would serve to postpone any
assessment ol blame until those most
Interested had time to become calm.
"The facts on which the Jugo-
slavian government based these ac-
cusations." Jevtic said, "are such that
they clearly establish the responsibility
of certain Hungarian authorities and
those of the Hungarian government
itself."
He accused the Hungarian authori-1
ties of protecting the terrorists at the
Jankapulta "murder farm." saying
"Jaokapufta is a school for terror-!

FORT WORTH, Tex., Dec. 7. (IP)—
The bugaboo of rigid federal control
of oil Industry today cast a shadow
over the filth annual meeting of the
Independent Petroleum Association oi
America.
The independents, traditionally op-
posed to federal Interference, discussed
yesterday’s statement In which oil
administrator Harold L Ickes plainly
indicated he believed lederal control
the only feasible method of oil regu-
lation.
They also discussed the breakdown
of the state pact conierenoe at Ponca
City. Failure of governors of oil-pro-
ducing states to agree on an Inter-
state pact for control of the in-
dustry left proponents of federal con-
trol In a much stronger position, It
was generally admitted
The interstate pact Idea, however,
was ryn dead. Hundreds of delegates

more distant states heard vice presi-
dent Harold B Fell of Ardmore. Okla.,

The state highway commissions pic-
ture of its finances was in the hands
of Oov -elect E W Marland. who
had asked an investigation of an
allleged $3,408,000 deficit. The com-
mission contended Marland was $700 -
000 too gloomy.
Chairman H. N. Arnold laid a com-
plete summary of district expenditures,
and of outstanding obligations, before
Marland after the govei nor-elect's re-
marks of yesterday
The total deficit is approximately
$2,771,596.26, when the cash on hand
and anticipated revenues for Decem-
ber are subtracted from the total
obligations of $3,677.111 70
Cash on hand totaLs $472,758 86, ac-
cording to highway commission rec-
ords. and the anticipated revenue for
this month was placed at $432,756.58.
The obligations were listed as fol-
lows:
Unpaid claims—$1,704,187 21; incom-
plete projects—$829.709 30; anticipated
expense for maintenance, right-of-way
and administration up to Jan. 1,
1935—$544,971.34; contracts awarded on
which no work orders have been is-
sued— $60,380.11; "over-runs" or the
amounts paid by the state on federal
projects which cost more than the
allowed estimated sum—$637,863.74
During November, according to the
state treasurer's records, the highway
fund opened with a balance of $186.-
622 and received allocation of $704,370.
making a total of $890,992.70. Dis-
bursements were $405.46187. leaving a
balance Dec. 1 of $485,530.87.
This was the picture presented to
Marland, with the added touch of
showing how much revenue has been
| diverted irom the department. Arnold
told Marland the actual deficit based
on outstanding claims Is $1,700,000
The gasoline tax diversion, to meet
stale bonds since it became operative
May. 1933. according to figures of
J A Ryndack. commission accountant,
amounted to $4.956.317 93. of which
42.960 842 70 r.as been in 1934 to date.
