HOUSTON, April 21.—(P— While
the Lone Star flag fluttered proudly
high above the roof* of modem
skyscrapeirs, Texans in all walks of
life joined today to honor the
memory or Fam Houston and his
i handful of hardy, young pioneers
who won Texas Independence from
Mexico at Ban Jacinto one hun-
dred years ago
The main celebration was on the
sacred soil 36 mlles from Houston
where approximately 906 ragged
recruits under Houston routed San-
ta Anna's army in 1B minutes,
thereby paving the way for the
extension of the United States to
the Pacific Ocean.
The battleground observances in-
> eluded a Catholic field mass, one
of the greatest religious ceremo-
nies in the history of the South,
a program by the- Rons and Daugh-
ters of the Texas Republic at
which Governor James V Allred
was the principal speaker, and the
dedication of a massive monument
to the pioneer Masony of Texas.
Election Returns
Available Tonight
Returns 'from today's munici-
pal election will be given out
over the telephone at the Rec-
rd-Chrpnicle office tonight.
The polls do not close until 7
o’clock, and it will require 36
or more minutes to complete
5 the tabulation. The public is in-
vited to call the Record-Chron-
icle’s telephones, either 164 or
64, for the results, but are re-
• quested not to do so before 7:30
since that much time is required
to complete the tabulation.
Harry L. Hopkins. Federal relief
administrator, apparently wasn't
Joking recently when he .declared
that his relief organization wasn't
to be used for poUtical purposes. He
has removed the administrator for
the State of Washington who is al-
leged to have solicited campaign
contribution*, and several, more of-
ficials were slated for the axe.
But regardless of these removals,
it is almost certain that the relief
organizations will be used in some
Instances, perhaps without the
knowledge of officials, to further the
interest of various candidates,
whether for local or national of-
flees. The temptation to use a large
body of men and women on the
Federal relief roll is too great.
