time. The Joe Bollack family also
lived there.
Mr. Wood later sold his interests
in the property to Doctor Cicero.
Not being able to compete with
modern apartments, the building
had only a few tenants in recent
years. It finally passed into the
hands of the state banking commis-
sioner from whom Mr. Langford
purchased it for salvage.
Mr. Langford estimated there arc
about ’T0.000 bricks, two carloads of
lumber, or about 25.000 feet of lum-
ber in the old building.

WASHINGTON — 0P> — Reports
that Russia has established naval
•nd air bases near the Aleutian Is-
lands. congressional sources said
Saturday, are behind intensified
army efforts to strengthen defenses
in Alaska.
Informed legislators said they un-
derstood that the army definitely
had confirmed that Russia has con-
structed bases on the Siberian
coast less than 100 miles from
American-owned islands in the
Aleutian chain which extends south-
westward from Alaska.
Are For Defense
The army’s high command was
said to take the atutude that the
bases were designed primarily for
defense against possible attack by
Japan or Siberia, but to feel that the
United States could not afford to
assume that such establishments
would never be used against it
It was indicated that Genearl
George C. Marshall, chief of staff,
would be questioned on this point
when he testifies before a Senate
committee, probably next week, on
the army’s request for $12,734,000
for construction of a strategic air
base at Anchorage. Alaska.
The House turned down the re-
quest War department officials
have made known, howev’er, that
they will ask the Senate to restore
at least $6,000,000 of the sum to the
department supply bill.
New Cruisers Due
Also bearing on national defense
was a disclosure by Chairman Vin-
son (D-Ga) of the House naval com-
mittee that the navy contemplates
building 20.000-ton cruisers—twice
the six* of its present “treaty type”
—as soon as the pending $655,000.-
000 fleet expansion bill becomes law
and funds are available.
The larger ships, it was explain-
ed. would have greatly increased
cruising range which would make
them more useful for missions in the
far Pacific or the south Atlantic.
They also would be better suited
for duty with the projected 45.000-
ton battleships.

Aldrich To Return
Monday From Trip
EDINBURG — Hidalgo County
Judge Oliver C. Aldrich is expect-
ed to return Monday from an up-
state trip on which he is seeking
additional sections of flood control
nghts-of-way in the county.
He left Thursday to visit Houston
and San Antonio property owners
whose holdings in the county are
affected by the International Boun-
dary Commission’s construction
project. Until the nghts-of-way
are acquired by the county ana

dustry” pertains to privately own-
ed businesses, individual busi-
ness and professions, just where
does the minister come in?
Well, the minister isn’t a salari-
ed man in public work—mean-
ing government: yet he works for
the public; and he isn’t in private
industry for he works for a pub-
lic institution. On top of this he
is a professional man in an In-
dividual business and most defin-
itely working with the individual.
Which leaves us just where we
came in.
RAYMONDVILLE — A Wdlacy
census enumerator says classifying
the minister gives him more mis-
ery than making inquiries into
any other profession. t
Writing the answers is easy
enough until he asks: “Are you
engaged in public or private in-
dustry?” and then comes the
question: “In just what industry
does the minister engage’”
