WESLACO—Motion to formulate resolution of sympathy and respect
for Hubert R. Hudson. Brownsville banker, who died suddenly Satur-
day morning, was passed here Saturday evening in meeting of the
Lower Rio Grand* Valley Bankers Association, at the Cortex Hotel.
The resolution will be drawn by new officers of the association,
elected during the Saturday night meeting, and a copy sent to the family
and to each bank member of the association.

HARLINGEN — Usually wen In-
formed sources said here Saturday
a survey of Harlingen business bad
been made by representatives of the
S. H Kress Company recently with
a view to possibly establishing •
five-and-ten-cent store here.
It was understood Blake Touch-
stone had been approached to build
a store on now vacant lots at Jack-
son and Second for the Kress Com-
pany. and that Touchstone had in-
dicated he might put up the build-
ing if terms of the lease and other
considerations were property.
No definite information was avail-
able here this week, but authorita-
tiv* sources said the Kress Com-
pany had “looked for a location*
in Harlingen, and that though
plans were still formative, the com-
pany probably would come here if
a suitable building can be built.
HILLSBORO The state
Democratic executive committee
Saturday gave ringing endorsement
to the candidacy of Texas' distin-
guished native son. John Nanee
Garner.
With a roar of ayes, it overwhelm-
ingly adopted a resolution calling
on the Democracy of Texas to give
whole-hearted support to the Gar-
ner effort to obtain the Democratic
presidential nomination.
Administration Praised
The resolution also re-affirmed a
resolution adopted at the state Dem-
ocratic convention at Beaumont in
1938 praising the administration of
President Roosevelt and Vice Presi-
dent Gamer and presenting Gamer
to the nation as the logical successor
to Mr. Roosevelt
The action followed the unsuc-
cessful effort of Mrs. Frances Ed-
mondson of San Antonio, co-chair-
man of the committee, to table the
resolution on grounds it would breed
dissension and disrupt the Texas
party.
Boos and cat-calls interrupted
Mrs. Edmondson at one point as she
explained why she opposed the
resolution.
The only other person to speak
against the proposal was O. P
Lockhart of Austin, a member of
the committee, who said he thought
it his duty to represent the views of
his district and he believed the dis-
WASHINGTON —UP)- Sweeping
aside all proposals to reduce the
total, the usually conservative sen-
ate appropriations committee ap-
proved Saturday an annual farm
bill carrying $922,864,686 and $100,-
000.000 in loans.
In all. the senate group added
$309.793 584 to the bill approved
by the house and offset this some-
what by reductions of $100,825,000
which senators said could best be
described as bookkeeping changes.
Biggest increase was $212,000,000
for “parity payments" to the sev-
eral million farmers participating
in programs under Secretary Wal-
lace.
Senaator Hale (R-Me) tried to
cut this fund in half but his ami
that of Senator Lodge (R-Mass)
were the only favorable votes.
Both Democrats and Republicans
predicted that the senate would ap-
prove the bill, which is to come
up Monday, and house advocates
of economy were plunged into
gloom.
Rep. Woodrum YD-Va). a leader
of house anti-spending bloc, virtual-
ly conceded that the economy drive
was wrecked.

FINNS NOT DEPENDING
ON PEACE TREATY
HELSINKI - UP) - Despite ac-
counts of peace negotiations that
filled front pages of Helsinki news-
papers. heavy fighting continued
Saturday on virtually all fronts,
with the invading Red army final-
ly gaining “a restricted foothold"
on the northwest shore of Viipuri
bay.
Military observers said that this
foothold—gained at tremendous cost
—undoubtedly would increase th*
threat to Viipuri, toward which the
Russians have been driving furi-
ously since Feb. 1.
This latest Russian maneuver,
acknowledged in the Finnish high
command’s communique Saturday
night, was regarded as of outstand-
ing importance because of the pos-
sibility it might put the Russians
in a position to complete encircle-
ment of the city of Viipuri and
outflank the eastern end of the Man-
nerheim line. •
Talk of peace, however, over-
shadowed news of the fighting.
There still was no official comment,
however, beyond the brief com-
muniquie Thursday night which
said that Russia had prepared to
submit demands more far-reaching
than the original demands of last
autumn, which Finland rejected. It
was disclosed, however, that there
have been further communications
s.nce Thursday and was indicated
That the contact continued. •

ing to police, she registered at a

and Friday she walked up behind
the second Mrs. Burleson in the
hotel cafeteria and shot her twice
with a rusty revolver she kept con-
cealed in a black bag.
The second Mrs. Burleson was
lunching alone. A few late diners
were in the cafeteria. A college
professor said he seized the wrists
of the woman in black as she was
“cocking the gun to fire a third
time.” The woman, taken to police
headquarters, refused to divulge her
identity.
VALLEY SUNDAY
Star-MONITOR-3
HARLINGEN, McALLEN, BROWNSVILLE 9 TEXAS, SUNDAY, MARCH 10, 1940
WASHINGTON — UP) — Day-long
speechmaking—which S'lM describ-
ed as a "filibuster”—resulted Satur-
day in a decision to put off further
senate consideration of the Hatch
Anti-Politics Bill for at least two
weeks, and perhaps longer.
With no possibility of an early
vote in sight. Democratic and Re-
publican leaden agreed informally
to displace the legislation Monday
with the $923 000,000 farm supply
bill. Under the arrangement, the ad-
ministration's reciprocal trade pro-
gram will be considered after the
farm bill. Then debate will be re-
sumed on the Hatch Bill.
The decision was a victory for op-
ponents of the measure, who con-
tended that they would gain addi-
tional votes before the bill is taken
up again, but Senator Hatch (D-NM»
contended .hat it did not mean that
his legislation had been killed.
The bill would apply to some
500,000 state employes paid partly
from federal funds the existing re-
strictions against political activity
by federal workers.
Although President Roosevelt has
endorsed the bill, and Majority
Leader Barkley of Kentucky is con-
ducting the fight for it, most of
Saturday's delaying speeches came
from Democrats. The length, and the
subject matter, of the speeches led
Hatch to observe that the day's
proceedings had “all the appear-
ances of a filibuster."

STOCKHOLM—(AV- (Sunday)—
Information reaching Sweden early
Sunday indicated that direct peace
negotiations between Finland and
Russia were proceeding smoothly.
This word—bereft of details—was
welcomed in Sweden but it tailed
to relieve signs of pessimism wer
the prospect of peace in FinKnd.
Recruiting of volunteers to aid the
Finns was intensified and donations
were increased.
Swedes Volunteer
One organization, military men
said, planned to send 300 volunteers
to Finland before Easter. They will
join other Swedes already fighting
beside their neighbors against the
Red army.
Officials said that deliveries of
supplies to Finland were continu-
ing.
Responsible circles said that a
decision regarding continuance of
the war can be expected by Mon-
day or Tuesday at the latest and
perhaps sooner.
Informed opinion believed the
success or failure of the negotia-
tions was involved directly in
"major power politics” on the theory
that the Allies desire to keep Rus-
sia involved in the Finnish war lest
place in the north enable her to
Rid Germany.
Sweden’s share in the negotiations
—establishing contact between the
warring countries—was regarded as
over.

who this week announced the ar-
rest of six persons for questioning

CONCORD, N. H —(A*»—Certainty
that President Roosevelt will re-
ceive a handful of delegates pledged
to his renomination for as long
as he wants them was evident as
New Hampshire's first-in-the-nation
presidential primary moved quietly
toward its ballot box climax on
Tuesday.
The contest stood out as President
Rooevelt against the field. Even if
all the opposition candidates wer*
elected he would still be assured
of five delegates And. under New
Hampshire law. delegates elected as
pledged must stick to their candi-
dates until released.
'’The mathematical certainty that
at least part of the states Demo-
cratic delegation would go to the
convention pledged to the president
developed from the failure of the
opposition to file a complete slate.
Of the 16 candidates for eight places
as delegates-at-large. 11 are pledged
to President Roosevelt, two to Post-
master General James A. Farley,
one to Vice President Garner, and
two are running as unpledged.

Funeral services for Doctor Miller
are to be held in Wichita Falls,
but the time was still undecided
when Judge Allrod left hero by

wtih Benito Mussolini. It has been
considered quite likely that among
other things he would ask II Duce
what he would do about Britain's
seizures of the Colliers. The coal
ban hit imports necessary to keep
Italian arms industries going.
In explaining the British com-
munique, foreign office circles said
that release of the Italian Colliers
resulted largely from British realiza-
tion of the Italian government's
"honest misunderstanding” of
operation of the blockade.
Trade Talks Slated
Informed sources pointed
quickly, too, that settlement of the
coal dispute left the way open for
resumption of British-Italian fi-
nancial and commercial talks in
Rome.
These sources thought these talks
would continue now with British
coal offered—and accepted—as pay-
ment for agricultural and heavy
industrial products desired from
Italy by the British.

(PMara at Left)
BROWNSVILLE — Death unex-
pectedly- ended the care«r here Sat-
urday of Hubert R. Hudson, bank-
er and newspaper publisher.
His passing removed from the
Valley one of its most ardent
champions. Funeral services will
b* at 4 pm. Sunday in the Church
of the Advent her*.
Death cam* to th* 52-year-old
financier at his country horn* near
Brownsville less than 24 hours after
he had returned from a thre*»
month absence devoted to business
interests in Oklahoma City and
th* East Friends of the family
said Hudson had complained of a
slight attack of indigestion en-
route back to Brownsville from
New York and upon arriving her*
Friday had spent the day resting.
Howe- er his condition had not ap-
peared alarming and he had even
made a tour of his estate before re-
tiring.
Seemed Te Improve
He spent Friday evenins ehat-
ting with his family and appeared
improving. After a restless night,
however, he suffered a heart at-
tack early in the morning and died
about 8 am. Death was attributed
to coronary thrombosis.
Hudson's death interrupted a
career based on an unshakable faith
in the prosperous future of the
Rio Grand* Valley.
A frequent visitor in the Valley
sine* 1925, Hudson gradually tame
to the conclusion that unselfish
public leadership, mor* than any
other one factor, would aid the
Valley in solving the numerous
problems plaguing its citizens and
retarding general development In
January. 1937 he moved to Browns-
ville to liv* with the avowed pur-
poae of w<M*king toward this goal.
Shortly after his arrival her* he
purchased the old State National
Bank from the late John G. Fern-
andez and re-named it the First Na-
tional Bank at Brownsville. After
directing the activities of this bank
personally for two years, Hudson
relinquished the presidency to John
W. English in keeping with a policy
of vesting active management of
hi* enterprises in the hands of
trusted associates—a policy inspir-
ed by his desire to avoid publie
attention.
Bought Three Paper*
Hi* mos far-reaching investment
aimed at Valley development was
the purchase in 1937 of the three
leading daily newspapers in the
area, the Valley Morning Star at
Harlingen, The Brownsville Herald
and the Valley Evening Monitor at
McAllen. Augmehting these three
properties with new plants
most modern equipment and
larged staffs, he welded them into
an effective voice for supporting
the best interest* of the Valley a*
a whole.
Upon completion of re-organisa-
tion, he vested management and
control of the companies in the
hands of his associates and their
employes, retaining only a minority
investment interest in each of them.
By this policy, he assured perpe-
tuation of the long-range program
of Valley development to which he
had dedicated himaelf. This pro-
gram embraced major objective*:
assurance of a permanent water
supply! gravity irrigation; improv-
ed marketing practices te place
Valley agriculture on a souna basia;
an equitable program of taxation
and debt retirement, and establish-
ment of transportation facilities
and rates which would place the
