The Amos ,plub defeated Grand
Prize 2-0 behind the one-hit pitching
of Abe Smolensky. Smolensky twirl-
ed a masterful game, and it was not
until the ninth inning when the sec-
ond man up singled were the losers
able to break into the hit column,'

In making public the sums of money
raised "throughout the country, Mr.
Warburg issued the following state-
ment to the Jews of America:
"Our call to the Jews of America
has not been in vain. We knew that it
would not be. We were confident that,
as of old, the Jews of America would,
say: ‘We will do—we will heed!’
"No hearts .feel more keenly than
the hearts of "the Jews of America
No jouls ate so filled with a sense of
Jewish responsibility, one for the other,
as the souls of the Jews of America.
We felt that notwithstanding the dif-
ficulties through which, they.—like the
rest of America—have passed in recent
years, they would heed the call on be
half of those of their people to whom
the boons of liberty, of justice and op
portunity of fundamental human rights
are denied. .
"It is fitting that at this time the
officers of the United Jewish Appeal,
speaking in the name of those for
whom they have called upon American
Jewry to serve and to gfve, should ex>
press their grateful appreciation to
them for what they have already done,
for what they have pledged themselves
to do. -
"Their efforts are greatly hearten-
ing to- us—but—more than that, they
have strengthened thoee who are bear-
ing the brunt of die attack which if
not merely upon them, but upon all
the Jews of the world. It has comfort-'
ed in their agony, the victims of the
meet atrocious otuburst of anti-Sem-
itism in history, it has steeled them to
resist the attempt, o debase and de-
grade hem; it has fortified their souls,-
and it has given them assurance of
better days to come."

Some of the Things That I Hope To
Accomplish If Elected To the Office „
of Tax Assessor and Collector
I will endeavor to cooperate with the Commissioners’ Court in all matters
pertaining to the financing of the County, they being the ones held responsi-
ble under the law for its financial Condition.
I will give special attention to the assessments in the County, endeavoring
to equalize same, especially those glaring irregularities that are in some in-
stances nOw- shown by the tax roll.
- There has been quite a lot of controversy by the Court and in the press
as ^o the method of bringing the block books in the Assessor's office up to
date. I promise, if elected, if given the proper assistance by the Commissioners’
Court, that I will, with their help and the fees of office, to revise an/ehbring
the block books in the Assessor’s office up to dfte and will keep them (n that
condition- ^
This work could and should be done under the supervision and by the help
familiar with the -tax rolls of Harlis County, and there is no reason why’ any
man serving as Tax Assessor and Collector cannot accomplish this task. If the
City of Houston can do it, Harris County can also do it. There is nothing
impossible or complicated about such an undertaking. There is this satisfaction
—that it costs so much oo do a given task, and if done bv a County official
who is competent, the County will get what it pays for and pay only for what
it gets.
I submit my candidacy to the voters of Harris County 'solely on the basis
of my accomplishments and upon the issues submitted above that I hope to
accomplish if elected.
