DALLAS, Tex., April 17 (UP) —
Prospects for rain held out hope to
Texas today for relief from dust
storms which have plagued the
state for more than a week.
Dr. J. L. Cline, government me-
teorologist, said a cool wave to-
night probably would be accom-
>anied by showers over most of
he eastern portion of Texas and
the temperature tonight would
irop to a low of possibly 50 de-
crees.
Dense dust, whipped up by a
strong west wind, was reported to-
•'ay at Amarillo, in the Panhandle,
and a light dust haze extended as
far south as Abilene, but Dr. Cline
predicted that showers would halt
the dust clouds before they reach-
ed the remainder of the state.
Amarillo reported an unusually
low barometer reading, 29.52, th<
forecaster said.

HONOLULU, T. H., April 17 (UP)—The Pan-Ameri
clipper ship, blazing a commercial air trail across the Pae
ocean, landed in Pearl harbor at 10:21 a. m. (PST) today
ter a triumphal flight over the city of Honolulu.
The clipper ship, a four-motored monoplane, complfl
the 2400-mile over-water hop from Alameda, Cal., in 18 noi
and 31 minutes, shattering all speed records for air travel
tween the United States and Honolulu.__'
Faster time could have
registered by the Clipper
but the crew of six veteran Amer-
icans voluntarily “wasted" more
than a half hour flying over Hon-
olulu to allow crowds to view the
ship in flight. Despite this fact,
the clipper beat the previous
record time by six hours and 17
minutes. Six navy planes for-
merly held the record og 24 hours
48 minutes.

AUSTIN, April 17 (UP) —Re-
ceipt of $4,947,117 in federal re-
lief funds for distribution in
Texas was announced today by
Acting Governor Walter Woodul.
He immediately turned the to-
tal sum over to the relief com-
mission for allotment. The
amount is to be disbursed as
follows: General relief $2,300,-
000; relief research $6,102; cat
tie program, $32,500; transient
relief, $168,000; education pro-
gram, $127,300; student aid pro-

I 000.
AUSTIN, April 17 (UP)—Act-
ing G. v. Walter Woodul, Speaker
Stevenson and legislators joined
today in an unprecedented move
to cut red tape and to prevent a
special session.
On Woodul's recommendation,
the House voted 118 to 10 to sus-
pend obstructing rules and act to-
day and tomorrow on eight bills
that Chairman Walter E. Jones of
the revenue committe said would
raise $17,500,000 and balance the
budget.
The bills, with one exception,
levy no new tax. They increase
no tax rates, but stop gaps
through which non-payers escape I
gasoline, beer, cigaret, gross pro-
duction, asd occupation taxes. The |
single new tax proposed is on hard
liquors.
AMARILLO, Tex., April 17 —
(UP)—The crop-swallowing, des-
troying dust storms of the Texas
panhandle plains soon will be over
H. T. Collman, government me- i
teorlogist, predicted today as Am- I
arilloans groped their way along j
city streets through the latest
"duster.”
“There may be one more bad
duster on tap,” Collman said, "but
the storms will become less and
less frequent.” He even went fur-
ther and predicted that rains
would come near the end of this
month or early in May.
Collman explained his predic-
tion that the dust storms are
waning witu the assertion that
“spring vegetation is coming up
and it real'v takes little to hold
the soi'."
