children are asking their mothers,
"Mama, what's a politician?**
And the lads that have seen a
couple or more political years are
scratching their own heads. The lull
along Cameron County's political
fronts hu them worried.
District candidates must file by
June 3. County and precinct can-
didates have until June 15. With the
last deadline some leu than two
months off. there s hardly a ripple
on the lake.
Means Paying Cold Cash
Nobody expects candidates to step
up and file officially, until the last
few days, because that means pay-
ing cold cash across the counter.
But announcements can be ex-
pected any time, and they've been
few and far between.
The sheriffs office has been con-
sidered Cameron county's fertile
field for a heated political flurry.
So far that particular political pot
has little more than simmered.
Incumbent Sheriff J. A. Goolsby
is asking for a fourth term. Bill
Cabler. who was Sheriff Goolsby's
chief deputy for nearly five years,
has announced for the job. along
with Tom Morrison of Combes.

HARLINGEN — In the $10,000
damage suit brought by D. B
Meadows. Harlingen, against the
First National Bank at Harlingen
several weeks ago. Judge James
Graham Saturday afternoon ruled
complaint was not entitled to dam-
ages and assessed court costs against
him.
Attorneys for Meadows said the
case would be appealed at the
Fourth Court of Civil Appeals. San
Antonio.
Meadows charged malicious pro-
secution of civil claims against the
bank, in connection with two notes
held by the bank against property
near Harlingen. Suit on the notes
was dismissed by the bank, but
Meadows claimed the bank had no
right to sue for collection of the
notes and did so maliciously. Mea-
dows' funds at the bank were im-
pounded for several days, before
the original trial was dismissed

committee, and Brad Smith. Mc-
Allen newspaperman, was treas-
urer. The largest contribution to
this fund, a check for $450, came
from the Grand Prize Brewery in
Houston. The money was made
available when the grand champ-
ion steer of the Houston Fat Stock
Show was purchased by V. H.
Shepherd, brewery president, then
re-sold and the proceeds donated
to three South Texas charities.
Starr County Red Cross chapter,
headed by Bascom Spillar. Rio
Grande City banker, as chairman,
raised approximately $300. and
the American Red Cross provided
the additional $1,000 to round out
the fund of $2,000. The fund will
be administered by Spillar and
W C. Jones. Jr, chairman of the
Hidalgo County Red Cross chap-
ter. in conjunction with the spe-
cial advisory committee establish-
ed to survey tie needs and carry
out the relief program. Food,
clothing and shelter for a period
of a year will be ‘provided for
the six families who suffered the
greatest losses and in which most
of the minor children, were affect-
ed.
The American Red Cross sent
Mrs. Hennessey to the Valley at
the request of the Starr County
chapter, she asserted, and she took
over the five weeks' task of in-
vestigating circumstances facing
each of the 17 families affected by
the tragedy and the needs of the
48 dependent survivors or recov-
ered victims. Three victims are
still receiving treatment in Mc-
Allen Municipal Hospital for se-
vere injuries sustained in the
crash, but all are believed re-
covering.
Missouri Pacific Railroad, whose
morning passenger train was in
collision with a truck driven by
Jose Ramon of Garceno and Donna
at the Tower Road crossing at the
east city limits of Alamo, has as-
sumed all ambulance, hospital,
surgeons' and nurses' bills of the
injured, it was asserted.
The Red Cross advisory com-
mittee which will oversee admin-
istration of the fund includes Spil-
lar. Fred Guerra. Mrs. Solis and
Pedro Diaz, all of Rio Grande City
and representing the Starr County
Red Cross: Jones and Dick Harris.

Red Cross; the Rev. Lujan, the
Rev. L. Vidaurri of Weslaco and

mittee; and the Rev. Father

the British fleet to German air
bombers.”
In Berlin German war maps show-
ed widening arcs of German occu-
pation about Oslo. Bergen. Stavan-
ger and even Arctic Narvik.
German military experts estimat-
ed that about 40 per cent of Nor-
way's 3,000.000 people now are in
regions occupied by German troops,
an area placed at about 12.500 square
miles.
Norwegian mobilization in the
Oslo region has been disrupted, they
contended, and the German march
is going on northward of Kongs-
vinger, near the Swedish border.
British Lose Ships
In 11 days of sea action, which
failed to dislodge the Germans from
Narvik, the experts asserted, the
British have lost four cruisers. 10
torpedo boats or destroyers and
eight submarines, while six battle-
ships or cruisers and one airplane
carrier have been damaged serious-
ly. This tabulation is unofficial.
Pointing to the availability of Nor-
way as a base for air attack on Eng-
land. one expert said:
"Norway is an unsinkable air-
plane carrier for us."
Stockholm advices had it that the
German armed penetration north
from Oslo was repulsed at Elverum.
about 75 miles north of the German-
occupied Norwegian capital. This
contradicted previous Swedish re-
ports that the Nazis had taken El-
verum
Reports of Allied troop landings
•al d be tween 30.000 and 40.000 men
came ashore at.......... Molde and
Laerdal These points could be
bases for drives on German on con-
centrations at Bergen and Trond-
heim.
In Germany, where the press and
the populace set up a chorus of
“heils" to congratulate Adolf Hit-
ler on his 51st birthday, there was
irritation that Norway had dared to
oppose Nazi •'protection "
This was echoed in Oslo where
the German commander-in-chief of
the army of occupation put a "last”
demand tn the Norsemen to stop
“this nonsensical resistance" on pain
of feeling “dreadful" power of Ger-
man arms.
Norwegians condemned to die un-
der German interpretation of in-
ternational law since the occupation
were given a Hitler birthday pres-
ent of their lives.

Constable Walter Keller at
Brownsville, has heard rumors there
will be opposition for his job. but
only rumors And that's about the
way most of the incumbents stand
Mostly it seems to be the spec-
tators who are worried. They can't
understand why there's no more
fire. “It'll all be over pretty soon,"
is the general wail.
Two Schools
Spectators are of two schools:
Both believe the incumbents will
do little talking until there is op.
position; one side figures the new
candidates uhould come out early
and give the voters lots of time to
think about them: the other school
feels the new candidates are wait-
ing until the last so the opposition
won't have so long to talk about
them.
And each school think* mavbe the
other school has the right slant on
the situation.
