BROWNSVILLE — The Clyde-
Mallory Lines, which has been serv-
ing Texa* shipping between New
York and Galveston for 74 years,
will begin serving the Port of
Brownsville on a permanent week-
ly, or more frequent, basis with the
arrival here of the S. S. Henry R.
Mallory on May 18.
This announcement was received
Saturday by F. W. Hofmokel, di-
rector of the Port of Brownsville,
from John E. Craig. New York
City, vice-president of the Clyde-
Mallory Lines.
Pbilen Is Agent
The new service, which is expect-
ed to be acclaimed by users of
water transportation between the
Valley and New York and Boston
will replace that of the Moormack
Lines, which have served the Port
of Brownsville along with the
Newtex lines since the port open-
ed in 1936. Moormack lines are dis-
continuing their coastwise service.
Newtex to already out
The Philen Shipping Company of
Browmv.,1* will represent the
Clyde-Mallory lines as stevedores
and agents.

The Clyde-Mallory lines are mak-
ing other changes in their Texas
service. Effective in about 30 days,
the lines will tiscontinue the use
of the Port <#* Galveston, transfer-
ring their activities to the Port of
Houston. The only other Texas port
that will be served by Clyde-Mal-
lory wiU be the Port of Browns-
ville.
The Henry R Mallory, which will
be the first ship at Rrownsvtile
in the new Clyde-Mallory service,
was used during the World War to
transport soldiers to Europe. It
achieved the reputation of having
ferried more men across the At-
Bltic in those years, based on its
tonnage, than any other ship.
The following statement was is-
sued Saturday by Hofmokel:
“This service will give the Rio
Grande Valley shippers and re-
ceivers an additional feature, which
HARLINGEN—A group of Har-
lingen civic leaders have under-
taken the task of raising a minimum

technical study of possible freight
sources and other pertinent facts
on which to base the Lower Rio
Grande Valley s request for exten-
sion of the Intracoastal Cana! from
Corpus Christi to the Rio Grande.
The committee was named by R.
L Hill, prominent Harlingen busi-
ness man who was named chairman
of the finance drive at a dinner in
Harlingen several weeks ago. Hill
was appointed by John H Shary of
Mission, pioneer Valley developer
and long a proponent of water
transportation as a means of saving
thousands of dollars annually in re-
duced freight costs. Shary to chair-
man of the Rio Grande Valley ex-

tal Canal Association of Texas and
Louisiana, the parent organization
which has succeeded tn getting the
canal built and operating into Cor-

northward and eastward, freight
traffic moves through the Mississip-
pi Valley waterways at greatly re-
duced cost
Shary announced Saturday that
Col. Gilbert A. Youngberg and as-
sociates. technical engineers retain-
ed by the Shary committee to make
a study of the Valley, had already
started work. Thus far. they have
mailed printed inquiry forms to
all major Valley businesses, request-
ing detailed information as to both
incoming and outbound tonnage and
other data. When all Valley firms
have been contacted, the informa-

Social Security Tax
Source Spread Urged
NEW YORK—UP>—Arthur J Alt-
meyer, chairman of the national se-
curity board, suggested Saturday
that it would be “sound public pol-
icy” for the federal government to
employ tax sources other than pay-
roll levies to finance expanded so-
cial aecurity programs.
Poossibly such taxes as income
and inheritance, “which are levied
according to ability to pay," Alt-
meyer said, should be used by the
government to pay a part of the
cost of security benefits "as social
insurance to extended to cover most
hazards and protect a great propor-
tion of the population.”

SAN FRANCISCO- (JT -Federal
meteorologists late Saturday night
said "the situation is critical" in
describing flood conditions in th*
Sacramento Valley after a week of
pouring rain caused creeks and riv-
ers to run brimful.
"Because of almost record rain-
fall." said Meteorologist E. H.
Fletcher, "a flood of major propor-
tions is rapidly developing on th*
Sacramento, Feather and American
rivers.”
Levees Are Bolstered
The new menace followed by a
month the devastating flood that
inundated many thousands of acres
in northern California, forced 6.000
person* from their homes, and caus-
ed damage estimated by state offi-
cials at 315.000,000. Nine persons
lost their lives in the February
flood.
In the face of th* new flood
threat, considered even greater than
the February disaster, thousand* of
men labored on levee* Saturday
night to build them higher agalnak
the rising burden of water.
River* Leave Banks
“It look* like the rising water
will undo most of the work that
ha* been don* in trying to patch
up th* break* in th* levee* caused
by the February flood." N. H. Rich
of the U. S Army Engineer* at
Sacramento, said.
In the Marysville are* Saturday
