The Dallas Journal evidently
knew Father Raymond Vernimont
well, as did many Denton and Den-
ton County people who came In con-
tact wath him during the thirty-
eight years he served as. priest of
the Denton Catholic Church In an
editorial, "He Had No Harsh Word"
a singular understanding of his
character was shown:
Raymond Vernimont is dead at
the age of 79. A thousand good
things might be said of him and of
his life of unselfishness in the serv-
ice of God and man; but perhaps
the newspaper comment upon his
career is pardonable for turning to
the extraordinary fact’ that Father
Vernimont wrote scores at letters
to newspapers without ever exceed-
ing the space limit and without ever
engaging in bitterness ot spirit or
language. Nearly always he brought
the healing balm of discriminating
praise to columns otherwise likely
to contain controversy and denun-
ciation. For thirty-eight years the
old man served the Catholic people
of Denton as pastor, but his kind-
liness of heart enlarged the bor-
ders of his parish and took in nis
fellow man wherever he happened
to be in need or distraught. By his
own wish his frail body was con-
signed to burial in a plain black
box But when they sang his re-
quiem the chances are the angels
couldn't help joining to.

a Texas & Pacific mall robbery here

Bodies of the victims were found
in the river, bound together with
wire. Beside Jack Rutherford, the
were Jack Sturdivant of Abtteqe

May was sentenced to death for
the slaying and also given a 27-
year sentence in the mall robbery. n

WASHINGTON, July 20.— tP—A
speech by Senator Long (D-La)
comparing the Roosevelt adminis-
tration with that of Nero showed
today that the breach between the
Roosevelt forces and the senator is
as wide as ever
Rack in Washington after new
victories in his state’s legislature.
Long spent a busy day. After slash-
ing at the administration from the
Senate floor, he faced a microphone
in the evening and said:
"There never was known such a
high-handed, tyrannical, outrageous
system of government, since the
days of Nero or during the days
of Nero as has been perpetrated by
this outlandish system of Roosevelt
brain trusters-bureaucratic-alpha-
betteal conglomeration of everything
except sense and justice.”
He said the congressmen had giv-
en over to the president so many
of their powers that “they ought to
be ashamed to draw thetr money as
lawmakers any longer.“
Long was particudiarly defiant,
as he had been on the Senate floor,
because the government had cut
off the Public Works Adminastrallon
funds from Louisiana.
WASHINGTON, July 20.

WASHINGTON, July 20.—(R—
Senate lobby investigators, who have
hardly made a dent in their $co,-
000 expense fund, said today they
would delve into activities against
the: administration's new tax bill
and other New Deal measures.
Chairman Black (D-Ala.) announ-
ced. however, that for th time be-
ing they would stick on the trail of
lobying against the Roosevelt util-
tty bill. In fighting this bill, the
lobby committee was told, the As-
sociated Gas & Electric Company
spent *700,000 more than 8100,000 on
telegraphic protests to members Of
Congress.
Yesterctay the investigators, ques-
tioning an attorney for A. G. E.,
drew admissions that A. G. E., stock-
hoidets or consumers eventyally
would bear the expense of the
fight.
The committee will resume its in-
quiry next week. Black indicated
that eventually J, <. Mange, presi-
dent and chairman of the board,
and H. C. Hopson, senior vice pres-
ident of Associated Gas, may be
called for examination as to how
the money was spent and to what
account it was charged.
They also will be asked, if call-
ed, whether they gave any orders
to subordinates to destroy records
in 28 states bearing on the aru
utility bill drive, he said.
Black sa’d Senator Hastings <R-
Del) had turned over to him for
inspection a series of form letters
he had received protestin’ against
the Roosevelt tax meAsure Black
added he would investigate the
source of the protests.

At the State College for Women,
an approximately 8589,000 program

structures: a dormitory, a students'
infirmary and hospital, a science

At the Teachers College, construc-
tion of the approximately $230,000
student cafetera-dormitory building
is on.
Private Construction
The money total represented by
private jobs is difficult to secure
here because of the frequent fail-
ure to take out building permits.
But a check of the permit receipts
at the municipal building showed
the following jobs on:

SANTA MONICA, Cal, July 20——
Well, the lawyers of the American
Bar Association convention are leav-
ing us. Think they had a Rood time.
Like all conventions didn't do any-
thing. No convention ever did any-
thing. If this country ever became
civilised the first thing eliminated
would be people traipsing around to
get to a convention, and the hu-
morous thing about 'em is that they
always wait and hold ’em in the
hottest weather, convention slogans
should be, "Les meet and per-
spire together.’’
It seems to be the unanimous
opinion of the convention that the
management of the U. S. should be
entirely in the hands of lawyers and
judges and that elected represen-
tatives of the people didn;1 know
what they were doing.

brought for delay,” said Hunt, cit-

company appealed to the state su-
preme court.
