ON HIS TOES. CONG. RICHARD
Kleberg of the 14th district—
Has already arranged for a con-
ference in Houston
With Gov. Henry Morgenthau
Jr. head of the Farm Credit Ad-
ministration-
Regarding farm loans in Nueces
county.
The able congressman from the
14th has investigated and found
that loan applications from Nueces
county—
Are not getting rapid treatment
at the hands of the Federal Land
Bank of Houston
Foreclosures are being threaten-
ed.
So he postpones various and sun-
dry engagements and goes to work
To help out his district.

jKEEP HEARING RUMORS WE
m§ that another ticket will be put j
in the field for the forthcoming
Brownsville city election.
Trouble is all those who profess
knowledge of the personnel of
that ticket persistently decline to
be quoted.

THAT MILD NORTHER THAT
swept across the Valley at day-
breaktoday reminds us that we will
have a little winter soon.
Still people here from the North
marvel at the weather now.
Two woman evidently tourists here
from some northern state were
walking past a city park the other
day. Commented one.
“Imagine flowers blooming at this
time of the year."
SAW SOME "OLD-TI M E RS”
around San Benito yesterday on a
little visit there—
Bert Ep6tein genial Central Raw-
er & Light company manager
there and a real old timer in the
Valley.
Bert knows some good ones about
the old days when he lived in the
San Benito hotel the old frame
building that used to stand on
North Sam Houston Blvd.
And E. B. Wells—golf-playing
automobile dealer who also casts a
mean bait In the surf when the
fish are biting.
Brother of Bob Wells who used
to live in Brownsville.

YOU HAVE TO GO OUT INTO
the residential district to find any

Of course they are there—scars
In the welfare of the community-
scars which you cant see.
But San Benito people like those

er Valley towns are snapping out
of it. and getting started again.

D. S. PURL. DISTRICT AT-
tomey. in speaking to the Browns-
ville Kiwanis club urges the peo-
ple not to interfere with the en-
forcement of the law.
Mr. Purl we don’t think the peo-
ple do Interfere.
The interferring comes a lot high-
er up.
After the county has spent a lot
of money in investigating a case
arresting somebody trying them
proving them guilty and sentenc-
ing them—
Then the interference comes In.
and scores a touchdown—for crime.
Then the prisoners politely par-
doned after serving anywhere from

No officer will get far trying to
arouse righteous enthusiasm in the
people when they know what will
be the inevitable result of their la-

Litvinoff to whom all Russia looks

associates the foreign commissar

Crowds Barred
And the crowds which gladly
would have cheered him off on ttie
all-important Journey to Washing-
ton were barred from tne railroad
station.
Hours after he had slipped away
behind closely drawm shades on the
Berlin train it was impossible even
to learn whether his English-born
wife had accompanied him.
To the time of his unheralded
departure he refused to break the
silence in which he has locked his
ideas about the forthcoming nego-
tiations.
All Tight-Lipped
Similarly tight-lipped were his
associates in high government
circles. They would discuss neither
his plans for the talks with Pres.
Roosevelt nor his itinerary.
Accompanying him were C. Ou-
manski chief of the foreign office
press section and Ivan A- Divil-
kovski secretary of the foreign of-
fice collegium.
The small party accompanied by
a landful of minor foreign oflice
attaches entered the station shortly
before midnight and boarded tne
train 15 minutes before its sched-
uled departure.

CLUBS QUIT !
FEDERATION
Body Left Without Officers
By Open Breach in City
Organization
The rilt which appeared in the
Brownsville Women's Federated
clubs earlier this year with the res-
ignation of the president widened
into an open breach yesterday
afternoon when two clubs with-
drew from the federation.
Included In the two clubs were
most of the officers of the federa-
tion.
This action has necessitated nom-
ination of new officers by the
nomination committee whlcn Is
composed of presidents of the mem-
ber clubs.
The clubs which resigned yes-
terday are the Wednesday Study
club of which the Federation’s
acting president Mrs. Gordon Quitt-
ers is a member and the Learners
club.

left t**a ^deration without a pres-
ident. corresponding secretary par-
liamentarian and reporter leav-
ing only the recording secretary.

clubs is said by members of the
federation to be the result of tne
rift last spring when Mrs. Sherwood
Bishop resigned as president. Mrs.
Bishop's resignation came soon
after she was inaugurated into or-
fice and was the result of action
of the federation in authorizing its
outgoing president Mrs. Randall
Mathers to name delegates to tne
state convention insteaa of author-
izing Mrs. Bishop to name them.
Delegates to the state conven-
tion vote on the state president
and Mrs. Volney W. Taylor of
Brownsville is a candidate for tfttt
office.
The withdrawal of the Learners
club and Wednesday Study club
from the federation was accepted
at the meeting yesterday ‘ with re-
grets.”

strikes and uprisings against the

he was manager in Oriente pro-
vince.
Asks Protection
The other. Florencio Oerena ap-
pealed for protection from gangs
at a Mercedes sugar mill.
Fears of an island-wide general
strike moved the government to re-
newed vigilance in the midst of
continued disorders such as those in
which the Americans were en- !
d angered.
Plans for the general strike. It
was reported here were being laid i
by communists.
But the current strike difficulties
in Havana kept authorities busy
as they sought to forestall moves
toward further uprisings.

speeding automobile did extensive
damage to two buildings in mid-
town Havana at about 1:30 o’clock
this morning. No one was injured.

ders already are stooped when 30
women representing the mothers
of 64 students slain during the re-
gime of the deposed president Ge-
rardo Machado called at the palace

Let's See Gov. Morgenthau!
(AN EDITORIAL)
Henry Morgenthau Jr. governor of the Farm Credit
administration is a man on whose capable shoulders rests
plenty authority and plenty responsibility.
* Under his charge are the various agencies through
which the federal government is attempting to relieve the
farmers of the United States.
Gov. Morgenthau is the man who sent W. E. Mulli-
kin and Frank Butcher to the Valley to speed up and as-
sist in the making of loans to Valley farmers under the
R. A. C. C. How well this has been accomplished will be
found in a news story in another column of this issue.
The Federal Land Commissioner whose office works
in conjunction with the Federal Land Banks works under
authority from Gov. Morgenthau’s Farm Credit Adiminis-
tration.
Now—Gov. Morgenthau is to be in Houston on Mon-
day and Tuesday of next week. We have heard that he
and his official party are coming as far south as Kings-
ville. Whether or not that is true the Valley should
make every effort to induce Gov. Morgenthau and his
party to come to the Valley and while they are here—
THE VALLEY SHOULD PRESENT ITS PLEA
FOR LOANS FROM THE LAND BANK COMMIS-
SIONER AND FROM THE FEDERAL LAND BANK
OF HOUSTON.
If the official party cannot come to the Valley by
all means a strong delegation of Valley leaders should go
to Houston and present that plea to Gov. Morgenthau
and his commissioners.
That delegation should admit to Gov. Morgenthau
that Valley farm lands are heavily bonded in comparison
with farm lands in other sections.
On the other hand it should call to that official’s
attention that Valley farmers in one year of favorable
weather and fair prices make more per acre several times
over than is possible for farmers in other sections.
That delegation should admit that Valley farmers
have not made any money for the past two years.
On the other hand it should ask to be referred to a
section where farmers HAVE made money during the
same period.
That delegation should admit that drainage is one of
the major problems of the Valley.
On the other hand it should point out the progress
that has been made in the past and the plans that are
on foot for the future in meeting and conquering that ob-
stacle.
Let men like Marvin Goodwin and John Shary of
Mission Frank Crow of McAllen Blake Seay of Mer-
cedes C. O. Miles of Progreso Sam Botts of Harlingen
W. E. Anderson and Frank Robertson of San Benito J. G.
Fernandez and A. B. Cole of Brownsville (and we could
name scores of others) sit down with Gov. Morgenthau
and go over our farm loan problem and point out the
reasons FOR making loans down here.
Believing as we do in our federal government and the
men at the head of that government we believe that Gov.
Morgenthau would rise to the assistance of the Valley
would do his best to see that the Federal Land Bank of
Houston makes farm loans in this section.
Let’s go.
