■THIS WRITER HAS BEEN AWAY
1 from his desk for about a week
venturing into areas where flu and
other things are worrying folks. And
brought back a few germs which
laid him low.
Ir. the meantime things seem to
have been happening. And the boys
around the office have been taking
care of the situation.
County Attorney Charles C. Bowie
told the commissioners’ court that
it had no authority to grant fran-
chises over county highways for
aipelinea telephone lines etc.
• With which decision others seem
to disagree rather emphatically.
District Attorney Joe P. Hatchitt
of Corpus Christi. tells the sheriff
of Cameron county to stop a cer-
tain type of gambling device on dis-
play in Brownsville. But excepts
other types in Brownsville and else-
where.

'THE SHERIFF. ART GOOLSBY.
1 Informs the district attorney he
will not proceed against an in-
dividual type of gambling device
And that he will act on any com-
plaints which the district attorney
supplies him.
Some of these devices seem to be
•quipped with both city and county-
atate licenses.
We seem to recall that last sum-
mer when Mr. Hatchitt was cam-
paigning for district attorney he
minced no words in laying at the
door of the then district attorney's
office—Robe:*t B. Rent fro. Jr.—res-
ponsibility for the existence of va-
rious types of gambling devices in
Corpus Christi.
Well. M seems that now is the
time for the district attorney to
practice in office what he preach-
ed last summer out of office.

A POLOGIES TO ALL CONCERN-
** ed. A New-Tex boat which left
the Port of Brownsville Tuesday did
not carry out 27.500 tons of stuff.
It did carry a considerable ton-
nage. 600 to be exact.
Merely a matter of a reporter tak-
ing figures over the telephone and
■mting confused about them.
It was 27.500 cases—nqt tons.
In these years of billions of dollars
and thousands of tons of this and
that is it any wonder that some of
us get things balled up?

eral former governors judges of the

LOYALISTS WIN
SLIGHT EDGE
Europe Still Bickers
Over Volunteers
(Bv The Associated Press)
Fighting Spaniards—fascist in-
surgents and the socialist govern-
ment—turned cold shoulders to in-
ternational arms control Tuesday.
They fought on at fever heat —
with the edge seemingly going to
the government.
Both parties to the “Little World
War” rejected proposals of the in-
ternational neutrality committee to
control the flow of arms to the
theater of battle. Both complained
about foreign volunteers fighting
on the side of the other.
General Francisco Franco the
fascist chieftain sidestepped the
whole question of international
control to isolate the war. The
Valencia government imposed
numerous conditions to the suggest-
ed plan.
The replies were disheartening
to official Britain facmg a new
parliamentary session Tuesday.
One commentator said the main
hope for keeping the “Little World
War" within bounds lay in a stop-
page of volunteers by Germany and
Italy.
Thes® two fascist powers said a
Rome official felt however it was
up to France and Great Britain to
decide whether a general conflict
must decide the struggle between
fascism and communism.
That was Interpreted as a de-
finite bid for Britain and France
as ‘middle course” nations today
to join Italy and Germany In a
four-power pact against com-
munism.
It followed a report of a speech
in Rome of Germany's first min-
ister Colonel General Hermann
Wilhelm Goermg. which quoted
Goerirg as predicting “a great test
to de»«enstrate which of the two
camps will prevail."
