Texas Oil on Troubled Air Waves

The article presents information on the state of oil business in Texas. Hugh Roy Cullen of Houston, who was once quoted by the journal "Time," as saying that a bunch of New York Jews were trying to run his city Texas. An oil wildcatter, Cullen is one of the richest men in Texas who is estimated to have a fortune run as high as $250,000,000. Although Liberty's chief interest has always been its backwoods baseball fans, it soon acquired a group 01 topflight news commentators, including Raymond Grain Swing, William Shirker, and John Vandercook, who apparently enjoyed the solid favor of broadcaster named Gordon McLendon. Backed by his father's money oil and automobiles McLendon sank $30,000 in a tiny station in the implausible town of Palestine, Texas.
