the surrender indicating that he
had cast his lot with Germany
There is some suspicion that the
King, in whose veins irtow German
blood and who is related to the
Italian ruling family, led the allies
into Holland and Belgium that
they might be delivered to Hitler.
Only a few of the Belgium soldiers
stopped fighting and a new Bel-
gian government has been set-
up.
Fierce fighting has persisted in
Flanders all week, with both sides
claiming advances. Germany now
claims >to jhave Raptured ports
along the English Channel but
these are discounted considerably
because no mass attack has yet
'been made on the British Isles.
The allies admitted ..Thursday
morning that they had lost Flan-
ders, however, but were making
a strong fight to prevent capture
of seaports.
The Lafayette Escadrille, an
organiation of French air pilots.
Tuesday withdrew an honorary
membership bestowed on Chailes
A. Lindbergh after his flight te
Paris in 1927. The action was
taken in protest to Lindbergh’1;
recent radio speech in which he
told the people of the United
States that they need not fear an
invasion if they would stop med-
dling in European affair*.
Folks down at Uvalde, Texas, will see the above scene re-enacted
soon. When the Presidential Special rolls out of Washington in June,
carrying President Roosevelt on his western tour, one of its stops
will be at the home of his long-time friend and able political ally, Vice
President John N. Garner.
For nearly eight years these Democratic leaders have worked to-
gether in the cause of political liberalism, and as the President’s tradi-
tional second term draws to a close, the Vice President is being widely
acclaimed as his most logical successor.
The announcement of the projected visit to Uvalde was made the
day following the county conventions in Texas on May 7, and is being
generally interpreted by political observers as expressing the Presi-
dent’s gratification that the Lone Star State gave a ringing endorsement
to the presidential candidacy of its distinguished native son. Texans
adopted resolutions approving the Roosevelt-Garner administration,
and endorsed Garner for the Presidency by a vote of 6 to 1 over
proponents of a third term.

UNIVERSITY STUDENTS PLOT
PERFECT CRIME
Austin — (UP)—University of
Texas law students find murder
mystery stories too fame. 'They not
only plot crimes, but enact them.
They have been known to rob so-
rority houses, hold up pedestrians
on the campus, and once there
was a student “murder.”
But ib is all staged in the inter-
est of their legal education. The
crimes are committed to gain prac-
tice in actual gathering of evidence
and presentation of it in moot
courts where the student “crimi-
nals”*are tried.
The crimes are made as rea-
listic as possible.
In classroom a student will use
an epithet toward another and pre-
cipitate a fight. There will be a
shot and a victim will fall dead or
fatally wounded. Other students ^ ^l^Y.e 'proposal it he
missoiner, State School Superin-
tendent. Chief Justice State Su-
preme Court, Associate Justice
State Supreme Court, Judge Court
of Criminal Appeals.
Next step toward selection of
the Democratic candidates for
these offices will be taken on June
10. The State Democratic Execu
tive committee will meet in Aus-
tin at- that time and certify the
candidates to the varoius county
committees.
The county committees will
meet one wee klater and by lot
decide the order in which the
names of candidates shall appear
on the ballot for each county.
By leaving this drawing to the
county committees, no candidate
is given the advantage of having
his name first or last on ah the
ballots for the primary election
to he held on July 27. First and
lasHj places are 'Considered /the
most fa^vorhble jpjaees to catch
the votes of undecided or indif-
ferent balloters.
It possible that the June
10 meeting of the State Demo-
cratic executive committee may
also submit the question of re-
turn to statewide prohibition to
be voted upon in the July 27 pri-
mary.
Advocates of a return to prohi-
bition claim they will have the
required number of signatures to
demand such a referendum. The
referendum, of course, is not ef-
fective to enact or defeat prohi-
bition plans. If a majority,] of the

trials of the offenders.
To get the best results, only
crime participants know when the
crime is to take place or what the
offense will be. One such affray
was staged so reaslistically that a
first year law student rushed in
terror from the class room He
was cvertaken some distance away
and summoned as an eye witness
to the crime. It was only then
he learned a blank cartridge haa
been used and the victim had mere-
ly shammed death.
In sorority house robberies only
the housemother is notified in ad-
vance of the contemplated crime.
Then the student lawyers get real
experience in drawing out needed
testimony from panicky witnesses J
for use in the moot court trial j
to follow. i

ticular districts and defeated the
proposal
Whi-le the Democratic primary
election will not be hold until July
27, voting will begin on July 7.
The election law permits persons
who are going to be absent from
their voting precincts on election
day to procure ballots in advance
by making affidavit that they will
be gone. Such ballots are given
to the County Clerk between July
7 and July 24 and by him sent

to the proper voting pla ce.
Based on poll tax payments
made this year, It )is expected
that more than 1,000,000 ballots
will be placed in the voting boxes
on July 27. A candidate who ob-
tains a majority of all votes east
for the office he seeks, will be-
come the aprty nominee. If none
has a majority the two with high
votes v, ill contest in a runoff pri-
mary election to be held August
24. The majority nomination is
required for all statewide offices
It is optional with counties to
make their local nomination's by
lr.ncjrity or yluralitv vote.
Beside /the filing anti ’voting
dates, a candidate must aLo keep
track of the various days when
be must file with the Sr:-eta'*y
of State a report of his campaign
expenditures.
Tim law purports to be very
strict about these expense state-
ments an goes so far as to pro-
vide that a candidate failing to
comply can have his name kept
off the ballot for the. general elec-
tion. When an attempt was made
to enforce this provision,, how-
ever the Fourth Court of Civil
Appeals at San Antonio ruled that
this could not be done for a con-
stitutional officer, jbecause 'the
constitution states all the quali-
fications and limitations.
Most of the elective statewide
offices are constitutional offices.
The expense limit permitted for
candidates for governor and U. S
Senator is $10,000 and for other
statewide officers and congress-
men the permitted expenditure is
$2,500. Four-fifths of the money
may be spent in the first primary
A statement of the expenses must
be filed not more than 30 and
not less than 25 days before the
first primary or between June 27
and July 2. Another report must
be filed not more than 12 days
nor less than eight days before
the election and a final Abated
ments must be filed within 10
days after the election. The state-
ments must be sworn to.
Unofficial results of the election
are gathered by an organiation
rr>rmed by newspaper publishers
known as the Texas Election Bu-
reau. Returns usually designate
the winners on election night, un-
less the raeeg are particularly
close. The EJection Bureau tabu-
lations are issued thereafter until
there can be no doubt of the re-
sults. The official canvass of the
first primary election will be
made by the State Democratic
Executive Gomimtte on Aug. 12.
The official canvass of the rcturns
if the runoff election will be made

will be formally nominated ->.t he
