“ ‘I am perfectly willing to admit
that it would be better to meet these
obligations without the safeguards
than not meet them at all’.”
Interpreted as a reiteration of his
refusal to call the Legislature back
in special,session to pass a pension
tax was this statement:
“It will be a tragedy indeed if this
social security program must go two
more years .without funds and es-
pecially^ with from. 40 to 85 thousand
more old folks now feigning applica-
tions because 51 out of your 56 voted

O’DANIEL IN RADIO ’
| : TALK HITS CRITIICS
__
11.--Governor O’Dan-
ing with criticism a-*
ailed for house adop-
Ae-«pproved sales tax
constitutional amendment to finance
social security in Texas.
Speaking over the radio in his
regular Sunday morning broadcast
from the mansion, the Governor ad- ' ■
dressed himself directly to the 56
members of the House who for the
fifth time turned -back the amend-
ment last Thursday. He said:
“I yielded to your decisiqn when
yeu sent me a bill to liberalize pen-
sions instead of putting in the same
law the tax to pay the cost as I
recommended.
“I know too many of you 56 mem-
bers to believe that you will permit
our grand old State of Texas to go
down in the crisis which is bound
to occur unless six of you in the
minority group of 56 will do as I
have been forced to do—yield on
methods to the end that the big
broad objective may be achieved.
“Now I have done all I can do. I
leave the matter in your hands.
•Almighty God in heaven guide us.”
• The Governor’s criticism was di-
rected chiefly at some members of
the Legislature who spoke against
him last Thursday when the fifth
test on the amendment came up.
He spoke of receiving thousands
letters the padt w-eek from peo-
ple in all walks of life. “The pre-
dominant trend of practically all
Pf these/' he asserted, “indicates
that the citizens of Texas are wrought
up and incensed because a little hand-
ful of House members are preventing
the people of Texas from settling
the social security problem ,. . . and
they are further enraged by hearing
fanatical ravings from the House
about personalities instead of sane
discussions of the subject, of social
security.”
Immaculate in a new white suit, the
Governor stripped all entertainment
from his program and devoted the
entire 30 minutes tom discussion of
the problem which has been para-
S1X DEAD IN STORM THROUGH
SIX MIDWESTERN STATES
Indianapolis June 11. — Indiana
counted Sunday three dead and Wife-
eonsin one, and Ohio two, in th<
wake of a June storm which slashed , , . „
through six Midwestern States in- .
juring more than 50 persons and
causing hundreds of thousands of
dollars in property damage.
The high wind, tain and lightning
swept across this State and partq of
Illinois, Ohic, Michigan, Wisconsin
and Kentucky Saturday night. Houses
were destroyed, utility services dis-
rupted and hundreds of trees were
blown down.
Indiana’s dead:
Mattel Briles, 8, killed near Sway-
zee when an automobile carrying 10
persons through the rain ran into a
tree felled across a road.
Gerald W. Brown, 26, crushed to
death at Schneider as an implement
-ilpply house was blown down. -
Charles Weiss, 59, farmer, injured
fatally near Logansport when a truck
traveling through a heavy rain
knocked him from his bicycle.
A Beloit, Wis., baby dietT when her
jugular vein was cut by glass as a
small garage was blown against a
house.
Mrs. Harry Metz was killed on| a
Hicksville, Ohio, street when the wind
blew a tree across the automobile in
which she was riding. Numerous
buildings were unroofed in this town
and other communities ’ in the sec-
tion.
George W. Dougherty, 42, of Ely-
ria, Ohio, drowned when his fishing
boat capsized as the storm churned
Lake Erie.
Coast Guards rescued at least 30
persons frotn boats and breakwaters
in the Lorain-Cleveland district ma-
rooned along the lake.
Jacksonville was hit hardest in
Illinois. More than 200 homes were
damaged at an estimated loss of
$100,000. More than an inch of rain
fell in Chicago, Louisville and Indian-
apolis. .. . .
* Utilities were crippled and build-
ings damaged nt Adrian and other
Southern Michigan cities.
Many sections of Louisville and
surrounding communities were with-
out electric service as the storm hit
curity under S. J. R. 12 would be
paid by the Federal Government, big
corporations and great masses of
professional men and women, the
Governor asserted.
"When all this 'is paid there will
possibly be 5 or 10 or maybe 15
per cent of the total that will be •
sales tax paid by the poor folks, the
most of whom will have relatives
drawing the pensions,” O’Daniel con-
tinued.

Answering critics who denounced
him on the floor of the House last
week, O’Daniel said the speeches
“did not in > any way reflect the
opinion of the majority of the 56
who voted against S. J.. R. 12—the
vast majority of those 56 members
are too sincere and sensible to be
swayed by the howlings of two or
three wisecracking political prosel-
yters polluting the place performing
a personality , piracy plot for the
purpose of plucking personal publicity
6y the papers printing their prattle.”
O’D«niel said 33 of the 48 states
now had sales taxes to pay all or
part of the social security program.
He called the Federal Government’s
payroll tax on employes "in plain
English a sales tax, except more
positive because it takes a percent-
age of all the employe earns in-
stead of what he spends.”

The Central Christian Church was
the scene of a lovely wedding Satur-
day morning when Eva Louise Young,
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Ed Young,
became the bride of Leo M. Fry. Dr.
G. L. Messenger, pastor of the Cen-
tral Christian Church, pronounced the
marriage ceremony. He was assisted
by the Rev. Lawrence Williams.
The church was decorated with a
profusion of white flowers and green-
ery. On the rostrum were floor bas-
kets of graduated height filled with
gladioli and white daisies, with palms
and ferns as a background. Southern
siqila and daisies draped the chancel
rdfling. The same lovely flowers were
caught to the end of the family pews
with’ soft bows of lilies of the val-
ley ribbon. x <'
Mrs. G. L. Perkinson of Dallas
played a program of nuptial music.
Mrs. A. J. Ricks, Jr., of Brady was
soloist and sang “I Love You Truly”
by Carrie Jacob Bond. The “Bridal
Chorus" from Wagner’s Lohengrin
was-used as the processional and th?,
wedding march from Mendelssohn’s
“Mid Summer Night Dream” as the
recessional. During the ceremony, a
- soft undercurrent of melody—we*
sounded as she played “To a Wild
Rose” by McDowell.
The biide’fe gown was a creation
of white silk applicadt* marquesettfe
over white satin. The bodice, with
leg-o-mutton sleeves, was shirred,
from the sweetheart nCck to the high
waist line. The shimmering marquis-
ette was, gathered to the skirt fash-
ioned on the Empire stylo and fell
in soft folds and flowed into a fan-
shaped train. The bridal veil of il-
lusion was finger tip and was caught
to her head with a halo and clusters
of orange blossoms.
Stiihi «ppl hade Tl<> wcr?” werr'wiit- {
tered over the gown and outlined the
top of the Empire skirt. A shower
• of lilies of, the valley, tied with white
satin ribbon streamers, fell from the
Ivory and gold prByer~book Which
she carried. Her only ornament was
, -a strand of pearls worn by her
mother and the kerchief her mother
carried when she married.
At the first chords of the pro-
cessional, Dr. G. .L. Messenger and
the groom advanced to the chancel
to await the coming of the bridal
party. The ushers, R. A. Wright, Jr.,
and Delbert Pow’ell of Tyler, walk-
—ed up the aisle to take their stand
at the chancel near the groom’s
best man, Jack Powell of Tyler.
Miss Betty Yonng and Miss Mary
Frances Casbeer were brides maids,
Mrs. N. P.' Powell of Tyler, matron
of honor and Miss Alice Glenn Young
of Greenville maid of honor. The bride
entered with her father and was met
at thancel by the groom.
The brides maids entered singly
and were gowned alike in delicate
green silk marquisettes ..over -taffeta.
The soft material was fashioned into
square shaped neck lines, and C
shirred bodice finished with tiny vel-
vet bows. The short full puffed sleeves
and full flaring skirts made attrac-
tive costurfies.

White House, last week s
■ I revision rtf the Wagner Act as
t'-.a keystbne of a policy of clearing
up legislation which operates as a de-
t rrent to business. On the same day,
representatives of business recom-
mended to congressional committees
revision of the corjiarate thx and out-
right repeal of the undistributed
profits tax. These-two events con-
it m urmistakably the settled opin-
■ n of business men thkt improve-
ments along the line indicated is ne-
.■essary for the restoration of that
uivate initiative conceded to Wthe
’ement lacking in the forces df re-
covery. 'v • *
The Business Advisory Council,
cotnposed of eight outstanding lead-
•rs of ecpnomic activity who arc no-
tably iit*t in the classification of
“Roosevelt haters,” has seasoned its
advice to the president with all de-
sirable reasonableness and caution
Its members recognize the existence
at a psychological factor which bulks
as large in the problem pf restoring
business activity as do the material
factors of increased purchasing pow-
er and plant expansion. It is obvious
that business, which must plan its
operations ahead, will be more cau-
tious in making commitments when
assurance against acts' of govern-
ment likely to increase cost* can not
be obtained.
The effect of governmental acts
which add to the burdens pr reduce
the field of investments in any in-
dustry is not confined to that in-
dustry alone. All business, resting
upon private investment, is forced to
bring into its calculations the pos-
sibility that similar acts may at any
time impose similar burdens on any
branch of industry. This reflects, of
course, the basic difficulty of prose-
eating a program of deeply laid re-
form at a’ time when physical recov-
ery of business is a first “ require-
ment. Government, launched on such
program at such a time, runs the
risk of defeating-with its left hand
the aims of its right
In such a situation, the advice of
public-minded business leaders, such
as compose Mr. Hopkins’ business ad-
visory council, is of extreme value
to the Administration. The council
,-hould not pe placed by Adiuijiigtra-
tion resistance, in the position of a
petitioner, but should be received as
counsel in a policy voluntarily pur-
sued. It is true that business men
are sometimes overfearful and an-
duly timid, just as sometimes they
are overconfident and rashly bold. But
when the effects of either seriously,
endanger the Nation’s economic well-
being. the effect of governmentjhould
ho directed to mintmumize that effect
l); removing the cause. Insofar as the
present hesitations of business arc
real, they ought to be removed as
promptly and fully as possible. That
the Adaiinistration and Congress can
