TEXAS REDS
Skepticism was apparent among
some of the Latin American dele-
gations that proposals for mandate
or protectorates over these posses-
sions would develop into concrete
action at this meeting.
Instead, some expected agreement
in broad terms upon measures that
might be taken to meet certain
eventualities resulting from the Eu-
ropean war.
What concerned Latin American
delegations even more than mili-
tary threats was what the United
States could do to relieve their |
economic difficulties arising from
the loss of European markets.
On this, the first objective of the
United States delegation is to get
first hand information on the in-
dividual problems of these coun- I
tries and determine how far they
are prepared to submit them for
general solution.
U. S. Has Own Ideas
The meeting here is watched
closely bv German. British ana
other “unofficial-* observers, de-
spite Secretary Hull's statement in
Washington that it is strictly an
American affair.
Secretary Hull tnld a press con-
ference that he had gone over mor*
important phases of the meeting
with delegates from some other
countries, including the foreign
ministers of Cuba and Paraguay
and th* Venezuelan ambassador to
the United States, but he would not j
comment on what he or other dele-
gate# considered the most urgent
problems.
Hull said

BUDAPEST - The lean emy
prospects m southeastern Europe
were emphasised anew Saturday by
a Bucharest wheat forecast placing
Rumania# anticipated harve«t
1.630.000 metric tons compared to
the average vearly production of
around 5 000.000 tons.
The situation in Rumania is re-
flected in other southeastern coun-
tries where the poor prospects are
expected to throttle export#, espec-
ially to Germany Last winter'#
unprecedented cold and the late
spring planting brought about the
acute situation.
Wheat experts here figure Ger-
many must import at least 2.000.000
> tons of w heat thi? year. Ordinarily
Rumania alone cnuld supply half
this amount; Hungary, Yugoslavia
and Bulgaria the rest
But in Belgrade it was announced
Yugoslavia would have to import
wheat for her own reeds this year
and Hungary has initiated official
step# to assure sufficient grain for
her own people.
The drawing was held early Sat-
urday afternoon, following a

distinguish themselves from the
pack. Some of these candfdates
were trailing the gubernatorial
campaigner* about the state, taking
advantage of even the smallest
gathering of voters to put them-
selves and their programs across.
O'Daniel's campaign was much
like hi* amazing drive of two years
ago. This time he was able to call
names specifically instead of con-
fine his remarks to a general at-
nn “professional politicians.”
at Greenville Monday
night and throughout the week he
vigorously assailed four of the five
men running against him. renewed
his attack nn the game, fish and
' oyster commission and other Au«tin
board* and bureaus, and every-
where ridiculed statements that his

Called Reptihliean
Ernest O. Thompson became the
first opponent this year to call
O'Damel a Republican. At Terrell
he said the governor was “a Repub-

time he ever voted in Texas was
for Hoover.” At a rally in Austin
Thompson said "we've got that
hillbilly on the run” and estimated
O'Daniel as “the greatest failure"
as a governor in the state's history.
Everywhere he pounded for taxe<
on natural resources and attacked
O'Daniel a.« a sales tax advocate.
No less heated was Jerry Sadler's
attack on O'Daniel's policies. He
cried out against mud-slinging, and

Students Are Member*
Fox’ report related that:
The information concerning
schools came through conversation
between a student in a state teach-
ers college and Homer Brooks
Communist party chieftain in
Texas.
The student said he had “not been
doing a great deal" but had manag-
ed to hold the unit together and
pass out literature among the #tu-
I dents. , »
He said the party unit in the city
in which the school was located
was comprised of students, all boys, j
most of whom were on the football i
and basketball teams.
They cou’d talk Comhninism "all ,
thev wanted tn." he said, as the i
basketball coach was “very much
in favor of Communism."
Coach I* Communist
Brooks laughed and asserted the i
coach should be in favor of Com-
munism as he was a member of
• the party. Brooks also said sev-
eral teacher* in the school were I
members at large of the party, and '
the student could feel safe in car- I
rying out work among the students. |
Even the head of the school was i
a “confidential member" of the
party
Brooks said he would send the
student to the national convention
nf the National Theatre League, de-
scribed a« an organisation devel-
oped by the Communist party, in
Geneva. Wi«.. in the latter part of
July, and that the young man would
be seated with the delegates from
the University of Texas
To Have Own Candidate*
Delegates from Texas to the na-
tional convention of the Communist
party. Brnnks said, included four
from the marine industry and two
from the oil industry.
Brook* read a resolution endors-
ed by the state executive commit-
tee. which stated the party would
support a gubernatorial candidate
in the primary, but would have its
own candidates in the general elec-
tion.
The report claimed also that
Brooks said the Communist party
w’aa supporting “the Lewis group"
in an educational campaign it plan-
ned to inaugurate in June in the
j oil industry’.
