conspiring to kidnap Paul H. Wen-

WASHINGTON, April 27 (UP)
—The administration today start-
ed an attempt to place President
Roosevelt’s judiciary reorganiza-
tion bill before the Senate by mid.
May.
Sen. M. M. Logan, D., Ky., told
an executive session of the Senate
judiciary committee that tomor-
row ne would request unanimous
consent to end secret deliber-
ations on the bill and to vote on all
amendments, as well as the bill
itself, on May 11.
GRAND JUNCTION, Colo.. Apr.
27 (UP)—The fireman was killed
and the engineer badly scalder
when a Denver, Rio Grande &
Western passenger train piled up
at the bottom of a 20-foot gorge
where a wooden trestle had been
consiuned by fire late last night.
ThA whole framework had burn-
ed away leaving only the bare un-
supported rails spanning the nar-
row gorge in front of the train.
The engine plunged straight down.
The baggage car was heaped on
top of it. Five other cars were
dashed together by the impact.
Ellis Parker Trial
Opens in Newark
Those who observe thinjgw
closely believe the proponents of
the Big Bend park project who
have so vigorously fought the
State advertising amendment are ‘
pouring cold water on their own
proposition.
If the Big Bend park became a
reality it would need all of the
advertising it could get.
Regarding the advertising bill
one member said last week that
he opposed it because it would
invite more people to Texas. He
said his plan would be to keep
people out of Texas and leave
Texas for Texans. Another mem-
ber suggested that that boy should
live in the mountains of Kentucky
"whar we don’t want no strangers
hanging around.” He also sug-
gested that if the whole State
was like that member that It
would be about as progressive as
the hillbillies of Kentucky.
Funeral arrangements for Mrs.
E. P. Jones, 32, of Pirtle commu-
nity, had not been completed at
noon today. Mrs. Jones died to-
day about 5 a. m. Burial will
probably be in Pirtle Wednesday.
Mrs. Jones had been a resident
of Rusk County her entire life.

feated in previous discussion. A
third sale-by-drlnk amendment
was on Speaker Bob Calvert’s
desk when drfy ordered the prev-
ious question and a final vote on
the bill.
More lengthy debate is ex-
pected when the bill comes to the
senate floor and it is expected to
eventually find its way to a con-
ference committee of house and
senate members.
By finally passing the bill, the
house cleared its calendar so it
can resume normal schedule. To-
day it will consider proposed con-
stitutional amendments.
Other Bills Pending
High on the calendar are pro-
posed four-year terms for State
officers, including the governor,
a unicameral legislature, pen-
sioning of all persons more than
65 and reduction in membership of
the legislature. «
The senate today will begin
the second day in consideration
of the departmental appropria-
tion bill.
The senate’s agriculture com-
mittee last night voted to approve
without amendment, the house
bill providing soil conservation
laws and establishing districts
for the purpose.
The house bill has little chance
of reaching a senate vote this
session. It is far down the senate
caldenar of hous bills.

Chief Gibbons estimated that

$3500. The pump could be used
to lift water from ponds or
streams when firemen were called

Commissioners Monday decided
to taka the request under consid-
eration before making any defi-
nite decision. *

When the legislature went to
San Antonio last week to see
the battle of flowers parade the
members also saw a very open
city. They saw the sale by the
drink plan practiced openly in
saloons. They also saw marble
machines paying off in cash. And,
if they observed closely, they
could have seen high school child-
ren pouring nickles into these
machines.
There was something ironical
about that trip. The day before
the legislature had been battling
over the question, of whether or
not liquor by the drink would be
allowed. And the plan, offered as
an amendment to the pending
liquor bill, was defeated.
There are other sections of
Texas where similar sights might
be seen. In these sections the
citizens have liberal attitudes. It
Is highly expensive to attempt
to enforce the law where that law
is out of harmony with the people.
Senator Franklin Spears, lead-
er of tile senate block (very small)
to hike the natural resources
taxes, was this week placed on a
finance subcommittee 'composed
of Redditt, Small, Rawlings and
Holbrook, in addition to himself.
There is some possibility that
Spears will resign his position on
the subcommittee. He saia he took

CHICAGO, April 27 (UP) —
Police sought three men today for
the slaying of Albert >S. Montlake,
47, thief and confidence man
whom they described as a “fence”
for the late John Dillinger’s gang.
Montlake was shot as he step-
ped from his fashionable South
Shore Towers Apartment into hk

don, 45, Chicago diamond broker
trict 3; W. W. Woodson, Waco,
District 4; Bronson Morgan, Jas-
per, District 5; and F. W. Wood-
son, Conroe, District 6.
C. A. Loftis of Longview was
re-elected treasurer and Hubert
M. Harrison was re-named vice-
president and general manager.
Aims of the program were set
forth as (1) cotton improvement;
(2) establishment of a cotton
products researc laboratory; (3)
diversification of farming through
promtioh of dairying, truck crop
growing, beef cattle breeding, de-
velopment of poultry, hogs and
home orchards; (4) cooperation
with Texas cooperative extension
work, vocational agricultural work
and other State and Federal

and flood control; (6) afi educa-
tional program to foster the use
of new commercial or soil build-
ing crops; (7) extension of rural
education in public safety, health,
lectrification and the evils of
farm tenantry; (8) and encour-
agement of farm home demonstra-
tion work in canning and rural
beautification.
The convention also indorsed
Gov. Allred’s traffic safety com-
mittee’s work and advocated
strengthening of the drivers’
license law.
Extension of foreign trade was
adopted as a major objective of
the organization and a committee
to carry out this program was
appointed.
Another resolution praised the
Petiingili Bill in Congress which
would release railroads from re-
strictions on long and short hauls
of freight.

The $416,413,382
less than President
budget estimates.
Principal increases over last
year’s appropriation resulted from
augmented regular army person-
nel, advanced food prices, air
corffc expansion, replacement of
deteriorated ammunition stocks
remaining after the World War,
a 5,000-an increase in the Na-
tional Guard, and procurement
of new land for air bases.
The bill appropriates $5,003,820
for seacoast defenses-in the Uni-
ted States, insular departments
and the Panama Canal.
Largest item in the bill is $161,-
548,460 for pay of the army, $7,-
404,900 more than last year. The
non-military appropriation bill—
carrying an estimated $30,000,-
000 for rivers and harbors pro-
jects—will be brought to the
floor later as a separate measure.
The bill provides $67,075,514
for the air crops and calls for
procurement of 513 planes this
year as against 638 last year.'
The report estimated there
would be 1,492 planes on hand
as of June 30, in addition to 492
‘on order.”
The army urgently needs 2,000
additional officers. G«i. Malin

Testimony of high ranking army
officers and war department
heads before House Committees
was made public as the appropria-
tion committee reported favorably
to the House the annual war de-
partment supply bill for the 1938
fiscal year.
Other testimony concerned the
army housing program, munitions
manufacture, and expansion of
defense activities.

Eibar. a city of nearly 10,000
people, proved a stumbling block
for Gen. Moia’s forces last sum-
mer. They took Irun and San Se-
bastian, burning both cities as
they pushed on toward Eibar.
By the time they reached this
industrial center of northern Spain
the Basaue forces had rallied to
offer stiffer resistance. The initi-
ative of the war passed to other
fronts nearer Madrid and the
Eibar garrison held out all winter
against attacks of the nationalist
forces.
Famous as an arms manufactur-
ing center, the city supplied much
of the equipment of the Basque
army, its factories operating
throughout the winter turning out
war supplies for the loyalists. Its
lose will be a severe blow to the
government army.

Iztt'r* Sent Out
Two thousand letters are being
sent to schoolmen throughout the
State requesting b 1 o hold col-
lections in their schools similar to
the one opening Thursday at Hen-
derson high school.
Upon the request of Sam War-
ren, member of tb-> executive
board of 'be association, L. A.
Woods, State Superintendent of
Education, has written his fellow
educational supervisors in 47 oth-
er states requesting that school
children in each make concerted
contributions to swell the memori-
al fund.
Compare this with the State
of California, for example, where
there are only 7000 miles, of im-
proVed highways, less than one-
third the number ot miles in
Texas and there are about 750
highway patrolmen, or more than
four times as many as Texas has
and there may be some semblance
of an answer to our State traf-
fic highway killings.

AUSTIN, Tex., April 27 (UP)
—The Texas Senate today failed
by two votes to sidetrack def-
initely a vote on race repeal at
the present session of the Texas
Legislature.
Vote was 18 to 12 to adopt a
procedure for the remainder of
the session giving precedence to
appropriations, 'laxes, local bills
and uncontested measures. Twen-
ty votes were needed to change
the regular procedure.
Gov- James V. Allred has

The House already has voted
overwhelmingly for repeal.

CARD OF 1HAMXS
Hundreds who refused to leave
their houses and face the bullets
and bombs were trapped and burn-
ed to death.
Guerinica was the “Holy City"
of the Basques, originally their
capital. Under its historic oak,
the Basque parliament took the
oath of office.
President Jose Antonio De
Aguirre of the Basque Republic,
who went into the front lines to
rally his fleeing people, declared
that thousands of incendiary
bombs had destroyed Guernica,
which he insisted was an open and

above flood level—at 6 a. m. Ob-
servers said, they expected the
river to remain stationery until
, about 10 a. m. and then start fall-
; ing.
Rain which fell 36
ceased, and weather experts
lieved that the “hump” of
flood would pass Pittsburgh to-
day without causing serious dam-
age.
They believed Wheeling, W. Va.,
was more likely to suffer heavily.
The Ohio river at Wheeling was
[ rising at a rate of nearly nine
Inches an hour. Captain J. R. Hill,
lockmaster at the government
i dam, warned resident to prepare
’ for a crest of 46 feet, 10 feet above
flood level.
Ten thousand residents on
Wheeling Island, to whom floods
are an annual occurrence, were
prepared to move to higher
ground. A 46-foot flood level
would cover the two-mile long is-
land and would inundate large
section!! of East and South Wheel-
ing, residential areas, and parts
of the business district, center of
a metropolitan population of near-
ly 200,000.
Barriers Erected
Merchants in Pittsburgh's “gold-
en triangle,” fearing another cost-
ly invasion of debris laden ea-
ters, erected barriers of sandbags
to protect their property. The
chugging of pumps. whCih emptied
the basements of business houses,
and the hurried removal of stocks
to upper floors were reminiscent
of the scenes during the disastrous
St. Patrick's Day flood of 1936
which caused damage of more
than $200,000,000.
The flood city of Johnstown,
twice hit by major flood disasters,
was out of danger. Stoney creek
and the Oonemaugh river had
flooded parts of the business sec-
tion, washed out a bridge and
paralysed traffic on Valley Pike,
a principal thoroughfare .then be- .....
